Computing Education is essential not only for Computer Science and its many sibling disciplines(Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, etc.) but for practically all other academic disciplines. Computers are pervasive today and many professionals develop basic programming skills as a way to express ideas, problems and solutions in computational terms within their own disciplines. It is common to find curricula in the arts (music, graphical design), business (accounting, economics), sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), and social sciences with computational courses in their curriculum. In a way, computing is becoming a requirement of most professional degrees. This project addresses both the separation between computing specialists and to widespread integration of computing concepts, not just the technology but computational thinking, in other disciplines. The project will use technologies now commonly available to permit faculty to collaborate in offering courses that extend the potential reach of experts to a broader audience, as well as a collection of recorded expert lectures. In addition, it will develop a visual, interactive interface to a common framework around which to explore similarities and differences across domains and to enable decisions about educational plan development. The teams will also host workshops to identify innovative approaches to teaching, as well as support initiation of new collaborative course experience and reflect of the utility of the courses. The opportunity computing education is to learn how motivated hands-on learning can engage students and provide opportunities to introduce computing concepts. In addition to aiming for diversity in the groups of participating faculty, the project will extend the reach of computing to disciplines not normally associated with that content and will also represent the scope of their discipline to computing students, providing a broader view of the impact of the discipline as it is applied in creative fields. This project addresses the growing conviction that inter-disciplinary approaches are crucial to revitalizing computing education and offers a solution to the need for broader reach of individual areas of expertise. If successful, this project could spread to national implementations with very great effect.

计算机教育不仅对计算机科学及其许多兄弟学科（计算机工程，软件工程，信息系统等）至关重要。而且几乎所有其他学科都是如此。计算机在今天是普遍的，许多专业人士开发基本的编程技能，作为一种方式来表达自己的学科内的计算术语的想法，问题和解决方案。在艺术（音乐，图形设计），商业（会计，经济学），科学（生物学，化学，物理学）和社会科学中发现课程是很常见的。在某种程度上，计算正在成为大多数专业学位的要求。这个项目既解决了计算专家之间的分离，也解决了计算概念在其他学科中的广泛整合，而不仅仅是技术，还有计算思维。该项目将利用现在普遍可用的技术，使教师能够合作提供课程，将专家的潜在影响力扩大到更广泛的受众，以及收集专家讲座录音。此外，它将开发一个可视化的交互式界面，以建立一个共同的框架，围绕这个框架探索各个领域的相似性和差异性，并使有关教育计划制定的决定成为可能。这些小组还将举办讲习班，以确定创新的教学方法，并支持启动新的合作课程经验，并反映课程的效用。机会计算教育是学习如何积极的动手学习可以吸引学生，并提供机会，介绍计算概念。除了旨在参与教师群体的多样性外，该项目还将把计算的范围扩展到通常与该内容无关的学科，并将其学科的范围代表给计算学生，提供更广泛的视野学科的影响，因为它应用于创造性领域。该项目解决了人们日益增长的信念，即跨学科方法对于振兴计算教育至关重要，并为更广泛地覆盖各个专业领域的需求提供了解决方案。如果成功的话，这个项目可以推广到国家执行，产生巨大的影响。
