Abstract: NSF CPATH Proposal 0722176Planning Grant: Building a Community to Revitalize Community College UndergraduateComputing PathwaysPI: Jeffrey JohnsonThe National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET) at Bellevue Community College will lead a community-building, planning grant to analyze learning needs; research and evaluate educational models; and design and implement pilot learning projects to revitalize undergraduate computing education. Partners include the University of Washington-Bothell computer science/information technology (IT) program as well as IT computer science/transfer programs at Bellevue, Shoreline, and Cascadia Community Colleges. The Society for Information Management will provide industry-based validation. The project will focus on redesigning the first year of a computer science program to retain and support community college students in computer science transfer programs, thereby addressing attrition and promoting more computer science degree holders. The team will:adapt existing curricula in first-year math, science, and computer science courses to enhance learning for students;investigate and create learning experiences wherein students complete difficult technical requirements in an integrated format; andresearch the effectiveness of alternative pedagogical methodologies, mentorship by advanced students, and the establishment of learning communities.The technology-rich Seattle area provides an excellent test-bed for evaluating new computing pathway models. The project team will collaborate with community colleges locally and ATE centers nationally to develop pilot sites for the new models.

摘要：NSF CPATH提案0722176规划助学金：建立社区以振兴社区大学本科计算路径PI：Jeffrey Johnson位于贝尔维尤社区学院的国家新兴技术劳动力中心(NWCET)将领导一个社区建设、规划助学金，以分析学习需求；研究和评估教育模式；并设计和实施试点学习项目，以重振本科计算教育。合作伙伴包括华盛顿大学博塞尔计算机科学/信息技术(IT)项目以及贝尔维尤、海岸线和卡斯卡迪亚社区学院的IT计算机科学/转移项目。信息管理协会将提供基于行业的验证。该项目将侧重于重新设计计算机科学计划的第一年，以留住和支持社区大学生参加计算机科学转移计划，从而解决人员流失问题，并促进更多的计算机科学学位持有者。该团队将：调整一年级数学、科学和计算机科学课程的现有课程，以加强学生的学习；调查和创造学习经验，其中学生以综合形式完成困难的技术要求；研究替代教学方法的有效性，高级学生的指导，以及学习社区的建立。技术丰富的西雅图地区为评估新的计算路径模型提供了一个极好的试验台。该项目团队将与当地的社区大学和全国的ATE中心合作，为新模式开发试点地点。
