SoD-TEAM: Teaching Creativity and Conceptual Representation, a Design Toolkit

计算机和信息科学与工程(CSISE)部门计算机和网络系统(CNS)设计科学(SoD)计划建议编号：0614003P/I：Guy-Alain AmousourPI的部门：部门：计算机科学机构：洪堡州立大学奖：$207,252标题：“SoD-Team：讲授创造力和概念表示，设计工具包”本项目的目标是在研究和课堂环境中为本科生提供软件设计教学的新视角。该项目的具体目标是：围绕软件密集型系统的设计建立一个跨学科和多样化的教职员工社区，为向计算机科学本科生和教职员工讲授设计科学奠定基础，让学生沉浸在一个为期五周的模块中，学习创造力和概念表达的方法(在NSF REU站点)和其他校园，并对SoD课程的影响进行形成性评估。领导这个项目的四个教员组成的核心团队来自计算机科学、工程和地理信息系统。其他参与的学院来自不同的学科。他们将来自其他学科的设计元素与软件工程领域结合在一起，同时仍然专注于软件密集型系统的设计科学。设计科学，因为它涉及软件和软件密集型系统，是一个新的研究领域，几乎没有现有的理论或基础。这一教育和研究项目的一个重要贡献是创建了一个由不同学科和文化观点的个人组成的社区，以开始建立这样一个基础。该项目的重点是创建一个本科生级别的课程工具包，该工具包通过作为该项目研究部分的一个基本组成部分而开发和评估的课程加以介绍。这项建议涉及三个产生更广泛影响的机会：主要研究目标是为本科计算机科学课程中教授的设计科学发展一个概念基础。作为实现这一目标的一种手段，该项目将发展一个多学科社区，该社区将在与软件设计相关的领域为软件设计领域的设计做出贡献，并影响来自这些其他学科、文化和视角的参与者如何在自己的专业领域中概念化和教授设计，并影响参与者在考虑和后来教授软件设计时的技能；通过REU项目和跨文化合作，可能会对在本科生和研究生计算机科学课程中招募和留住代表性不足的人群产生积极影响。这所学校毗邻十几个土著部落群体，在为美国印第安人提供教育机会方面处于领先地位。通过有意识地涉及不同学科和文化的设计方法，该项目预计将扩大在美国和国外对设计产生影响的方法和视角。这一更广泛的观点具有超越与草皮提案相关的具体任务的价值和影响，并可能有助于为与会者提供对不同观点和文化视角的更好理解和敏感性。项目经理：Anita J.La SalleDate：

ABSTRACTDirectorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)Division Computer and Network Systems (CNS)Science of Design (SoD) ProgramProposal Number: 0614003P/I: Guy-Alain AmoussouPI's Department: Department: Computer ScienceInstitution: Humboldt State UniversityAward: $207,252Title: "SoD-TEAM: Teaching Creativity and Conceptual Representation, a Design Toolkit"The objective of this project is to provide new perspectives in teaching software design to undergraduate computer science students in both research and classroom environments. The specific goals of the project are: to build an interdisciplinary and diverse community of faculty and students around the design of Software Intensive Systems, build a foundation for teaching the science of design to undergraduate computer science students and faculty, immerse students in a five week module in methods of creativity and conceptual representation (at NSF REU sites) and other campuses, and conduct formative assessment of impact of the SoD curriculum. The core group of four faculty leading this project are from computer science, engineering and GIS. Other participating faculties are from diverse disciplines. Together, they integrate elements of design from other disciplines with the software engineering field while remaining focused on the science of design for software intensive system. Science of Design, as it relates to software and software intensive systems, is a new area of inquiry with little existing theory or foundation. An important contribution of this educational and research project is the creation of a community of individuals from diverse disciplinary and cultural perspectives to begin establishing such a foundation. This project focuses specific efforts on the creation of an undergraduate level, curricular toolkit which is introduced through curriculum developed and evaluated as a fundamental component of the research component of this project. This proposal addresses three opportunities for broader impact: the primary research goal is to develop a conceptual basis for the science of design as taught in undergraduate computer science curricula. As a means to attain this goal, the project will develop a multidisciplinary community that will both contribute to the SoD as it relates to software design, and influence how participants from these other disciplines, cultures and perspectives conceptualize and teach design in their own areas of expertise along with an impact on the skills of the participants as they consider and later teach the SoD; through REU programs and cross cultural collaboration there may be a positive impact on recruitment and retention of underrepresented populations in undergraduate and graduate computer science programs. This institution, located in proximity to a dozen indigenous tribal groups, is a leader in providing educational opportunities for American Indians. By consciously involving design approaches from a variety of disciplines and cultures the project anticipates a broadening of approaches and perspectives brought to bear on design both in the United States and abroad. This broader view has value and impact beyond the specific tasks related to the SoD proposal and may help to offer participants a greater understanding and sensitivity for differing views and cultural perspectives.Program Manager: Anita J.
