Collaborative Research: CPATH TI: Project EXCE2L (Excellence in Computer Education with Entrepreneurship and Leadership Skills)

该CPATH奖项资助了纽约州立大学石溪分校和霍夫斯特拉大学之间的一个合作转型实施项目，该项目旨在将创业和领导力内容整合到两所大学的本科课程中。该项目包括在几门必修课程中开发有关创新、创业和全球方面的模块，以及开发一门创业型计算机科学辅修课程。此外，学生们与德国、罗马尼亚和韩国的目标大学的学生一起在全球创业团队中工作。该项目包括与大纽约地区的教师进行社区建设活动，以促进适应和采用所开发的课程模式和资源。该项目的智力价值在于该主题的重要性和流行性，以及计算机教育中对这种变化的明确需求，以准备下一代计算机专业人员。该项目有一个强大的合作团队，具有创业和教育经验，并有一个增强的评估组成部分，应该清楚地表明这种创新方法对研究和教育社区的影响。该项目还包括测试处理相关知识产权问题的方法，这些方法在未来可能对许多其他研究人员有价值。该项目更广泛的影响在于有潜力培养多样化的学生和教师群体，以从事高科技领域的创业活动。该项目包括向广大社区传播和分享资源的机会。国家模式有潜力帮助培养对国家至关重要的精通技术的劳动力。美国继续繁荣和安全。

Abstract This CPATH award funds a collaborative Transformative Implementation project between SUNY Stony Brook and Hofstra University to integrate entrepreneurship and leadership components into the undergraduate curricula at both institutions. The project includes development of modules about innovation, entrepreneurship, and global aspects in several required courses and development of an entrepreneurial computer science minor. In addition students work in global entrepreneurial teams with students at targeted universities in Germany, Romania, and Korea. The project includes community building activities with faculty in the greater New York area to promote adaptation and adoption of the curricula models and resources developed. 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 project has a strong collaborative team with entrepreneurial and educational experience and an enhanced evaluation component that should clearly demonstrate the impact of this innovative approach to the research and education community. The project also includes testing of methodologies for handling associated intellectual property issues that could be of value to many other researchers in the future. The broader impacts of the project lie in the potential to prepare a diverse student and faculty population to pursue entrepreneurial activities in high-technology. The project includes dissemination to a broad community and opportunities for sharing of resources. There is potential for national models that can help to develop a technology-savvy workforce which is vital to the nation?s continued prosperity and security.
