Computer Science (31)The "Collaborative Research (RUI): Broadening the Use of Computer Games in the Computer Science Curriculum" project is developing a Java-based game engine to support student development of game related projects in undergraduate computer science courses. Intellectual Merit: This project addresses two distinct components of the CCLI program's STEM education model: it is adapting Laird and Jamin's C++ game engine developed under NSF contract 0231325 to develop a new Java-based 2D game engine and creating a set of six curricular modules to teach fundamental computing concepts within the context of game construction. Broader Impact: The project is disseminating their results through presentations at both regional and national conferences as well as an active online project forum. They are supporting an unique online repository for sharing game related curricular materials between institutions. The repository is enabling both instructors to share curricular modules, and students to share visually appealing projects. Finally, through instructor training sessions held in conjunction with the Center for Youth Workforce Preparation, they are impacting computer science education at local high schools.

计算机科学(31)“协作研究：扩大计算机游戏在计算机科学课程中的应用”项目正在开发一个基于Java的游戏引擎，以支持学生在本科计算机课程中开发与游戏相关的项目。智力优势：该项目涉及CCLI项目STEM教育模式的两个不同组成部分：它正在采用根据美国国家科学基金会合同0231325开发的莱尔德和贾明的C++游戏引擎，以开发一个新的基于JAVA的2D游戏引擎，并创建一套六个课程模块，在游戏构建的背景下教授基本的计算概念。更广泛的影响：该项目正在通过在区域和国家会议上的发言以及一个活跃的在线项目论坛来传播其成果。他们正在支持一个独特的在线存储库，用于在机构之间共享与游戏相关的课程材料。该存储库使教师能够共享课程模块，学生可以共享视觉上有吸引力的项目。最后，通过与青年劳动力准备中心联合举办的教师培训课程，它们正在影响当地高中的计算机科学教育。
