CPATH CB: Computing Education in Science Context

0722210CPATH CB：计算机科学教育Hambrusch计算机科学已经成为科学探究不可或缺的，并以变革的方式渗透科学。该项目将开发一个两门课程序列的框架，介绍科学专业的计算思维，计算概念和科学模型之间的相似之处，以及计算在探索和理解物理现象中的作用。 每年的研讨会将在普渡大学举行，以促进与其他机构为同一目标而努力的互动，并建立一个更广泛的社区，为科学本科生发展计算教育的原则。 知识价值在于认识到计算是科学的核心活动，以及下一代科学家需要对计算思想有更深入的理解。这个项目将开发一种权宜之计，通过引入普渡大学的科学本科课程，充分阐述计算和科学模型之间的许多相似之处，实现这一目标。 该方法将提供多学科的接触，并将促进计算和算法思维。 这项工作的更广泛的意义包括科学家在计算的原则和能够应用计算思维，以及有一个欣赏学科之间的相似之处训练。采用可视化，多学科，以团队为导向的方法将促进理解和兴趣。

0722210CPATH CB: Computing Education in Science ContextPI: Susanne E. HambruschComputer Science has become indispensable to scientific inquiry and is permeating science in a transformative manner. This project will develop a framework for a two-course sequence that introduces science majors to computational thinking, to the parallels between computational concepts and scientific models, and to the role of computation in exploring and understanding of physical phenomena. Annual workshops will be held at Purdue to facilitate interaction with other institutions striving for the same goal and to build a broader community developing the principles of a computing education for science undergraduates. The intellectual merit lies in the recognition of computing as a core activity of the sciences and the need for the next generation of scientists to have a deeper understanding of computational thought. This project will develop an expedient approach for accomplishing this goal by introducing into Purdue's science undergraduate curriculum a full exposition of the many parallels between computational and scientific models. The approach will provide multi-disciplinary exposure and will foster computational and algorithmic thinking. Broader implications of the work include scientists trained in the principles of computing and able to apply computational thinking, as well as having an appreciation of parallels between disciplines.Employing a visual, multi-disciplinary, and team-oriented approach will facilitate comprehension and interest.
