TITLE: Can Humanitarian Open-Source Software Development Help Revitalize Undergraduate Computing Education?PI: Ralph Morelli ([e-mail])This community building project creates a diverse community of individuals from academic computing departments, social service organizations, and computing and IT corporations, to test the hypothesis that humanitarian free and open-source software development (H-FOSS) can help revitalize undergraduate computing education. The project will capitalize on two contemporary interests that are under served in computing curricula: the open-source development model, as a way to teach software engineering; and, service-learning, as a means by which students and faculty can contribute to the surrounding community. A software development version of the Habitat for Humanity model will be investigated: instead of building houses, students and faculty will learn computing by building software systems that benefit humanity. To combat the computing-is-coding myth, community-based summer and academic year internships will demonstrate that computing is working together with other people to design and develop solutions to real problems. By engaging students and faculty from participating schools in summer institutes, credit courses, spring-break community-help projects, and an academic curriculum workshop, the project will develop a portable and sustainable educational model that attracts socially engaged students to the computing discipline, bridges the divide between town and gown, and builds truly useful humanitarian software.

人道主义开源软件开发能否帮助振兴本科计算机教育？PI：Ralph Morelli（ralph. trincoll.edu）这个社区建设项目创建了一个由来自学术计算部门、社会服务组织以及计算和IT公司的个人组成的多元化社区，以测试人道主义自由和开源软件开发（H-FOSS）可以帮助振兴本科计算教育的假设。该项目将利用两个当代的利益，在计算课程服务：开源开发模式，作为一种方式来教软件工程;和，服务学习，作为一种手段，学生和教师可以为周围的社区作出贡献。 将研究人类栖息地模型的软件开发版本：学生和教师将通过构建造福人类的软件系统来学习计算，而不是建造房屋。 为了打击计算是编码的神话，基于社区的夏季和学年实习将证明，计算是与其他人一起设计和开发解决真实的问题的解决方案。 通过参与暑期学院，学分课程，春假社区帮助项目和学术课程研讨会的参与学校的学生和教师，该项目将开发一种便携式和可持续的教育模式，吸引社会参与的学生到计算学科，弥合城镇和长袍之间的鸿沟，并建立真正有用的人道主义软件。
