CPATH CDP: Integrating Sustainability Into Undergraduate Computing Education

这个概念开发和规划项目将可持续发展的概念整合到本科计算机教育中。一个由工程学、计算机科学和认知科学的教师组成的跨学科团队计划测试、开发、实施和评估可持续发展教育模式，将其整合到课程中。该团队计划为初级和高级学生开发模型、项目和课程，包括一门新的绿色计算课程。该小组设想将重点放在可持续发展的大型数据中心的功耗方面。目标是让学生具备计算能力、多学科知识和计算思维方法，以创造一个可持续的未来。该项目的学术价值在于主题的重要性和时效性，以及计算机教育显然需要这样的变化，以培养下一代计算机专业人员。跨学科项目团队包括在作为实施基础的计算学科研究和教育创新方面拥有丰富专业知识的研究人员。该项目有可能在一个对未来几代人和当前几代人至关重要的新兴领域提供新的研究模式。该项目的更广泛影响在于，有可能满足对计算机专业人员不断变化的需求，并吸引不同的学生受众。该项目有可能为转变计算机教育提供创新模式，对全国其他高校具有价值。

This Conceptual Development and Planning project integrates sustainability concepts throughout undergraduate computing education. An interdisciplinary team of faculty from engineering, computer science, and cognitive science plans to test, develop, implement, and evaluate an educational model for sustainability integration into the curriculum. The team plans to develop models, projects and courses for beginning and upper level students, including a new course in green computing. The group envisions a focus on the power consumption of large data centers aspects of sustainability. The goal is to prepare students with the computing competencies, multi-disciplinary knowledge, and computational thinking methodologies to create a sustainable future. The intellectual merit of the project lies in the importance and currency of the topic and clear need for such changes in computing education to prepare the upcoming generation of computing professionals. The cross-disciplinary project team includes researchers with significant expertise in both the computing discipline research that underlies the implementation and in educational innovation. The project has the potential for providing new research models in an emerging field critical for future generations as well as the current one.The broader impacts of the project lie in the potential to address changing demands on computing professionals and to attract a diverse audience of students. The project has the potential to provide innovative models for transforming computing education that are of value to other colleges and universities across the nation.
