CPATH: Revitalizing Computer Science Education through the Science of Digital Media

．题目：CPATH CB：通过数字媒体科学振兴计算机科学教育api: Jennifer burg虽然计算机在通信、社交网络、创造力、商业、科学、学术和研究中变得不可或缺，但近年来主修计算机科学的学生数量急剧下降。显然，计算机科学教育者并没有充分利用这门学科令人兴奋和相关的本质。这个项目研究了如何将计算机科学课程与数字媒体科学联系起来，使其更有趣，更贴近当今的学生。数字媒体的跨学科性质？与视觉艺术、工程、音乐、科学可视化、电影、电视和移动媒体有联系吗？将通过在美国七所学院/大学举办的研讨会进行探讨。来自商业、工业和不同学术领域的代表将被要求确定他们希望在跨学科合作中看到的计算机科学家的知识和技能。在三年的时间里，大学水平的计算机科学课程改革将反映教育工作者、行业代表、艺术家和涉及数字媒体领域的从业者的意见。由此产生的课程旨在以激励学习和利用数字媒体在现代生活中的中心地位的方式，将强大的科学基础与其他学科的实践联系起来。

.Proposal Number: 0722261Title: CPATH CB: Revitalizing Computer Science Education through the Science of Digital MediaPI: Jennifer BurgWhile computers have become indispensable in communication, social networking, creativity, business, science, academics, and research, the number of students majoring in computer science has fallen dramatically in recent years. Clearly, computer science educators are not taking advantage of the exciting and relevant nature of their discipline. This project investigates ways to make computer science curriculum more interesting and relevant to today's students by linking it to the science of digital media. The interdisciplinary nature of digital media ? with connections to the visual arts, engineering, music, scientific visualization, movies, television, and mobile media ? will be explored through workshops at seven colleges/universities throughout the United States. Representatives from business and industry and diverse academic fields will be asked to identify the knowledge and skills they would like to see in computer scientists involved with them in interdisciplinary collaborations. Over a three-year period, a proposal for college-level computer science curriculum changes will be made that reflects input from educators, industry representatives, artists, and practitioners in areas involving digital media. The resulting curriculum is intended to have a strong scientific base linked to practice in other disciplines in ways that motivate learning and take advantage of the centrality of digital media in modern-day life.
