CCF-0722221CPATH CB - Computing and Undergraduate Engineering: A Collaborative Process to Align Computing Education with Engineering Workforce Needs PI: Thomas F. Wolff American industries require employees with strong computation-based problem solving skills. Traditionally, industry needs have been couched in terms of proficiency with specific applications rather than around functional capabilities. Also traditionally, academic institutions have developed curricula that address disciplinary principles without regard to industry needs. These two "traditions" have hindered industries from meeting their needs, and academic institutions from meeting their societal responsibilities. This CPATH Community Building (CB) project addresses these problems. Project investigators will develop, implement, and evaluate a process to create an academic/industry community as a lynchpin of curricular change. The specific project goal is to demonstrate the process in the context of meeting industrial needs for computational problem solving. Project participants are Michigan State University (lead institution), Lansing Community College, the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce, Western Michigan University, and representatives of ABET, Inc. The project team consists of academic representatives from MSU and LCC and representatives from technology-based companies in mid-Michigan via CSW and the Mid-Michigan Innovation Team (MMIT), lead group in the mid-Michigan US Department of Labor WIRED initiative. WMU will evaluate the development process. Generalization of the process for aligning curricular change and industry needs is expected.

CCF-0722221CPATH CB - 计算和本科工程：使计算教育与工程劳动力需求保持一致的协作过程 PI：Thomas F. Wolff 美国工业需要具有强大的基于计算的问题解决能力的员工。传统上，行业需求是根据特定应用程序的熟练程度来表达的，而不是围绕功能能力。同样传统上，学术机构开发的课程只关注学科原则，而不考虑行业需求。这两个“传统”阻碍了产业满足其需求，阻碍了学术机构履行其社会责任。这个 CPATH 社区建设 (CB) 项目解决了这些问题。项目研究人员将开发、实施和评估一个流程，以创建学术/行业社区作为课程变革的关键。具体项目目标是在满足计算问题解决的工业需求的背景下演示该过程。项目参与者包括密歇根州立大学（牵头机构）、兰辛社区学院、技术劳动力公司、西密歇根大学和 ABET, Inc. 的代表。项目团队由来自密歇根州立大学和 LCC 的学术代表以及通过 CSW 和密歇根州中部创新团队 (MMIT)（美国劳工部《连线》倡议的密歇根州中部领导小组）来自密歇根州中部技术型公司的代表组成。 WMU 将评估开发过程。预计课程变革和行业需求相一致的流程将得到推广。
