Workshop on Modern Programming Language Curricula

程序设计语言在计算机科学中起着至关重要的作用，它提供了一个灵活而健壮的接口，人类通过它来控制计算机系统。在过去的十年中，随着计算机科学和技术的普及，编程语言的设计和实现取得了显著的进步。该奖项将资助一个新的研讨会，该研讨会将汇集来自研究、教育和工业机构的编程语言专家，讨论编程语言设计、实现和应用在现代本科计算机科学教育中的作用。参与者将批判性地评估编程语言教育的现状，并确定必要的转型变革，以使美国教育系统的本科生能够在快速变化的计算机科学和技术领域中竞争、贡献和推进。研讨会将产生一份报告，向更广泛的社区传播结果思想，以激发继续努力，使编程语言课程与高等教育课程保持同步，尖端课程对于培养具有全球竞争力的美国劳动力至关重要，能够产生和应用新知识，并在推进计算机科学和技术方面处于领先地位。

Programming languages play a critical role in computer science by providing a flexible and robust interface through which human beings control computer systems. In the past ten years, programming language design and implementation has advanced significantly in response to the pervasiveness of computer science and technology. This award will fund a new workshop that will bring together programming language experts from research, educational, and industrial institutions to discuss the role of programming language design, implementation, and application in modern, undergraduate computer science education. The participants will critically evaluate the state of programming language education and identify the transformational changes needed to best prepare undergraduates in the US educational system to compete in, to contribute to, and to advance the rapidly changing field of computer science and technology. The workshop will produce a report to disseminate the resulting ideas to the broader community to spark continued efforts to have programming language curriculum keep pace with higher-education curricula Cutting-edge curricula are essential to prepare a U.S. workforce that is globally competitive, able to generate and to apply new knowledge, and to take the lead in advancing computer science and technology.
