Computation in all its definitions (Computer Science, Computing, Computational Thinking, etc.) is becoming increasingly significant in STEM and non-STEM disciplines. Historically, Mathematics has been the discipline seen as required by all other disciplines. Computer Science faculty are wrestling with determining whether there is a single approach to infusing computation in other disciplines or whether there are many approaches. Coupled with the increased computational ability of students in other disciplines, it is known that interdisciplinary courses are more appealing to underrepresented groups. Ideally, the Computer Science community would be provided with a set of validated approaches to interdisciplinary education. In order to reach this goal, the community must investigate the educational value of various approaches. This workshop seeks to begin cataloging experiences to attain that goal. In this collaborative proposal a number of PIs from different college level institutions (research university, technology focused university, four-year engineering college, and four-year liberal arts college) will cooperate on holding a workshop where a number of different approaches to cross-disciplinary education will be investigated. This workshop will gather a number of faculty who have attempted such courses. The outcome will be a report that outlines approaches to computational interdisciplinary courses. This report will be made widely available.

计算的所有定义（计算机科学，计算，计算思维等）在STEM和非STEM学科中变得越来越重要。 从历史上看，数学一直被视为所有其他学科所需要的学科。 计算机科学教师正在努力确定是否有一种方法可以在其他学科中注入计算，或者是否有许多方法。再加上学生在其他学科的计算能力的提高，众所周知，跨学科课程更吸引代表性不足的群体。 理想情况下，计算机科学社区将提供一套经过验证的跨学科教育方法。为了实现这一目标，社区必须研究各种方法的教育价值。 本次研讨会旨在开始编目经验，以实现这一目标。 在这项合作提案中，来自不同大学水平机构（研究型大学，技术重点大学，四年制工程学院和四年制文理学院）的一些PI将合作举办一个研讨会，其中将调查一些不同的跨学科教育方法。 这次研讨会将聚集一些尝试过这种课程的教师。结果将是一份报告，概述了计算跨学科课程的方法。 这份报告将广为散发。
