Computer Science (31)This collaborative project creates a multithreaded programming (MTP) course targeting general-purpose multi-core processors for the senior-level and graduate-level students in computer science and computer engineering. In order to overcome the difficulty of teaching and learning multi-core programming, problem-based learning (PBL) is used in this course to ease students' transition from the single-threaded programming model to MTP. PBL-oriented course materials are developed, including real-life multi-core programming problems, mini-lectures, lesson plans, lab manuals, reference materials, etc. The course is taught at the collaborating institutions in two consecutive semesters without and with PBL, and the effectiveness of PBL is evaluated through analyzing data collected from a variety of sources, including pre-tests and post-tests, in depth interviews, and general evaluation forms. The project outcomes are disseminated through websites, email lists, CDs, publication, and presentations at professional conferences.

计算机科学（31）这个合作项目创建了一个多线程编程（MTP）课程，针对通用多核处理器的高级和研究生水平的学生在计算机科学和计算机工程。为了克服多核程序设计教学中的困难，本课程采用基于问题的学习（PBL）来帮助学生从单线程程序设计模型过渡到MTP。以PBL为导向的课程材料，包括现实生活中的多核编程问题，迷你讲座，教案，实验室手册，参考资料等。该课程在合作机构连续两个学期不使用PBL和使用PBL授课，通过分析从各种来源收集的数据，包括前测试和后测试，深入访谈，和一般评价表。项目成果通过网站、电子邮件列表、光盘、出版物和专业会议上的演讲传播。
