项目摘要

"Engaged Student Learning: Re-conceptualizing and Evaluating a Core Computer Science Course for Active Learning and STEM Student Success" is a collaborative project that addresses the critical need to prepare students for the contemporary information technology landscape. The project will develop a new operating systems (OS) course that will play a central role in the curriculum of computer science and engineering undergraduate degree programs. The new course will resolve significant issues of misalignment between existing computer science courses on operating systems and employee professional skills and knowledge requirements. It has the potential to better engage students in active learning, create computer science learning environments that improve student-learning outcomes, and broaden participation in STEM education and employment. It will serve national interests by preparing students more effectively for post-baccalaureate employment where expertise in distributed mobile and parallel computation, big data analytics, and cybersecurity is increasingly necessary and in demand.The goals of this project are threefold. First, it will design a contemporary operating systems curriculum and pedagogy model that incorporates cybersecurity, mobile OS and the Internet of Things, concurrent programming and synchronization, cloud computing and big data processing, Second, the project will evaluate the effect of the model on student learning, retention, growth, and job placement, as well as faculty and STEM/CS education research community engagement. Third, it will build a community of practice among computer science faculty at multiple institutions that adopt or adapt the model for their own academic contexts. Materials and results will be shared with the faculty community of practice continuously to help improve the program. Improvement will be measured along multiple dimensions, including student learning and retention. The project will produce content, laboratories, and culminating active-learning project designs of the model and a set of guidelines and tradeoffs, based on the results of model evaluation, to ensure that the model is transferable and replicable.

“学生学习：重新概念化和评估核心计算机科学课程的主动学习和STEM学生的成功”是一个合作项目，解决了学生为当代信息技术环境做好准备的关键需求。该项目将开发一门新的操作系统（OS）课程，该课程将在计算机科学与工程本科学位课程中发挥核心作用。新课程将解决现有计算机科学课程与操作系统和员工专业技能和知识要求之间不一致的重大问题。它有可能更好地让学生参与主动学习，创造计算机科学学习环境，提高学生的学习成果，并扩大对STEM教育和就业的参与。它将通过更有效地为学生准备学士学位后的就业服务国家利益，其中分布式移动的和并行计算，大数据分析和网络安全方面的专业知识越来越必要和需求。首先，它将设计一个当代操作系统课程和教学模型，其中包括网络安全，移动的操作系统和物联网，并发编程和同步，云计算和大数据处理，其次，该项目将评估该模型对学生学习，保留，增长和就业安置的影响，以及教师和STEM/CS教育研究社区的参与。第三，它将在多个机构的计算机科学教师中建立一个实践社区，这些机构采用或调整该模型以适应自己的学术环境。材料和结果将与实践的教师社区不断分享，以帮助改善该计划。改进将沿沿着多个维度进行衡量，包括学生的学习和保留。该项目将根据模式评价的结果，制定内容、实验室和最终的主动学习项目设计，并制定一套准则和权衡办法，以确保该模式可以转让和复制。
