CUE Ethics Curricular Design Community

项目摘要

This project aims to redefine how to teach computer science to students who approach computing from a broader and more diverse set of interests than typical in most programs. These students are not traditional computer science majors but, instead, students who will follow their interests to apply computing to fields as diverse as fine arts, humanities, political science, music, writing, social science, and history, among others. There are many decades of deep integration between arts and technology from which to draw inspiration for new curricular frameworks. The primary objective is to create an educational community consisting of diverse institutions, which will be poised to develop effective Computing in the Arts (CITA) degree programs. Graduates of these CITA programs will create, design, and code new tools for artistic creativity. From contemporary music-, art- and theater-production, to creating new forms of animation, digital media, and games, to invigorating the visual and audio systems of tomorrow's computers, to inventing revolutionary networked applications, the work students do in these collaborative programs will prepare them for computing-aware, productive, and integrated careers in the information and arts economies. While the project concentrates on computing and the arts (e.g., art, music, dance, sculpture, theater), this approach in curricular integration is general and can apply across many fields. CITA curricula have been shown to attract a new, diverse population, including retaining and graduating significantly larger numbers of women. Moreover, by combining art and computing, this curricular approach enhances creativity, design skills, and innovation potential. In this age of social media, immersive and digital art, ubiquitous computing, and new transformative computer-based systems awaiting discovery, this project may have a significant cultural and economic impact on our nation and society.To achieve these goals, a strong, cohesive, and diverse educational community will be created, consisting of a mid-size liberal arts and sciences university, two research-1 institutions, and a smaller liberal arts college, centered on Computing in the Arts degrees. A six-year longitudinal study at the lead institution shows that a CITA degree attracts a different student population to computing; attracts and retains almost twice as many female students; and graduates 45.5% women compared to the 19% average in computer science across the nation. The project will assemble representative Art+CS teams from departments of computer science, art, music, dance and theater at each institution, establish regular online inter-school meetings, and hold at least two meetings at different schools during the grant period to bring the teams together. To strengthen this multi-institutional community, a concrete synthesis activity will be carried out -- a joint, telematic, real-time, four-institution CITA performance project, which will involve students, faculty, and necessary resources to combine motion capture, audience participation, dance, music, and visual art. Upon completion of this activity, the assembled team aims to be ready to develop Curricular Guidelines for CITA degree programs, to broadly disseminate successes, lessons learned, and methods for broadening participation across the nation, with concrete student and potentially transformative social outcomes.This IUSE: CUE project is co-funded by EHR/DUE and CISE Directorates CNS, CCF, IIS, and OAC, reflecting the project's alignment with the broader goals of the IUSE: EHR program in DUE and complementary programs in CISE.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个项目旨在重新定义如何向那些从更广泛和更多样化的兴趣集合中学习计算的学生教授计算机科学，而不是大多数课程中的典型兴趣。这些学生不是传统的计算机科学专业的学生，而是将根据自己的兴趣将计算应用于美术、人文、政治、音乐、写作、社会科学和历史等不同领域的学生。艺术与科技之间数十年的深度融合，可以为新的课程框架提供灵感。主要目标是创建一个由不同机构组成的教育社区，该社区将准备开发有效的艺术计算(CITA)学位课程。这些CITA项目的毕业生将为艺术创造力创造、设计和编写新的工具。从当代音乐、艺术和戏剧制作，到创造新形式的动画、数字媒体和游戏，到振兴未来计算机的视觉和音频系统，再到发明革命性的网络应用程序，学生在这些协作项目中所做的工作将为他们在信息和艺术经济中从事具有计算意识的、多产的和综合的职业做好准备。虽然该项目专注于计算机和艺术(例如，艺术、音乐、舞蹈、雕塑、戏剧)，但这种课程整合的方法是通用的，可以应用于许多领域。事实证明，CITA课程吸引了新的、多样化的人群，包括留住和毕业人数明显更多的女性。此外，通过将艺术和计算机相结合，这种课程方法提高了创造力、设计技能和创新潜力。在这个社交媒体、沉浸式和数字艺术、无处不在的计算以及等待发现的基于计算机的新型变革性系统的时代，这个项目可能会对我们的国家和社会产生重大的文化和经济影响。为了实现这些目标，将创建一个强大、有凝聚力和多样化的教育社区，包括一所中等规模的文理大学、两个研究机构和一个规模较小的以艺术计算为中心的文科学院。在这所领先的机构进行的一项为期六年的纵向研究表明，CITA学位吸引了不同的学生群体去学习计算机；吸引并留住了几乎两倍的女学生；毕业生中45.5%是女性，而全国计算机科学毕业生的平均比例为19%。该项目将召集来自各机构计算机科学、艺术、音乐、舞蹈和戏剧系的有代表性的Art+CS团队，建立定期的在线校际会议，并在资助期内在不同的学校至少举行两次会议，将团队聚集在一起。为了加强这个多机构社区，将开展一项具体的综合活动--一个联合的、远程信息处理、实时的、由四个机构组成的CITA表演项目，该项目将涉及学生、教师和必要的资源，将动作捕捉、观众参与、舞蹈、音乐和视觉艺术结合在一起。在完成这项活动后，组建的团队旨在准备为CITA学位项目制定课程指南，以广泛传播在全国范围内扩大参与的成功、经验教训和方法，以及具体的学生和潜在的变革性社会成果。这个IUSE：CUE项目由EHR/DUE和Cise Directorates CNS、CCF、IIS和OAC共同资助，反映了该项目与IUSE：EHR计划的更广泛目标的一致性，这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
