Community Engagement by ACM/IEEE-CS/AAAI Task Force on Computer Science Curricular Revision

该项目旨在通过提供旅费资助来支持CS202X指导委员会的社区参与活动，从而为国家利益服务。计算机协会（ACM）和电气与电子工程师学会计算机协会（IEEE-CS）在为计算机本科课程建立国际课程指南方面有着悠久的赞助历史。从《课程68》的出版开始，这项工作大约以十年为一个周期进行。课程指南描述了一个“能力框架”，它描述了代表计算机科学学位课程的材料主体的知识领域，这些课程获得了高水平的能力、技能和性格。ACM/IEEE-CS课程指南已经成为全国乃至全球计算机课程的标准。这些指引会定期更新，以保持电脑课程的现代化和适切性。ACM/IEEE-CS/AAAI课程修订任务（CS202X）是由ACM、IEEE-CS和人工智能促进协会（AAAI）组成的联合工作组，负责修订2013年发布的ACM/IEEE-CS课程指南。CS2020X工作组指导委员会由8名ACM成员、8名IEEE-CS成员和2名AAAI成员组成。指导委员会成员以志愿者为基础工作，每个人监督整个知识领域。指导委员会成员将在与他们的知识领域最相关的专业活动上，对他们所监督的知识领域提出修订意见。该提案将为指导委员会成员提供旅费支持，以便与他们所代表的社区进行接触。这些社区外展工作将提高课程建议的质量，并通过有重点的宣传和社区的支持提高订正课程指导方针的采用率。NSF IUSE: EHR计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过参与学生学习轨道，该计划支持有前途的实践和工具的创建，探索和实施。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project aims to serve the national interest by providing travel funding to support the community engagement activities of the CS202X Steering Committee. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers-Computer Society (IEEE-CS) have a long history of sponsoring efforts to establish international curricular guidelines for undergraduate programs in computing. This has been done on a roughly ten-year cycle starting with the publication of Curriculum 68. The curriculum guidelines describe a “competency framework” that addresses knowledge areas representing a body of material for computer science degree programs that capture high-level competencies, skills, and dispositions. The ACM/IEEE-CS curricular guidelines have become the standard for computing curricula across the country and globally. The guidelines are updated regularly with the aim of keeping computing curricula modern and relevant. The ACM/IEEE-CS/AAAI Curricular Revision Task (CS202X) is a joint task force constituted by ACM, IEEE-CS and the Association for Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), charged with the revision of the ACM/IEEE-CS curricular guidelines last published in 2013. The Steering Committee of the CS2020X task force consists of eight ACM members, eight IEEE-CS members, and two AAAI members. Steering committee members work on a volunteer basis, and each supervises an entire knowledge area. Steering Committee members will present the revisions to the knowledge area they supervise, at professional events that are most relevant to their knowledge area. This proposal will provide travel support to the members of the steering committee to engage with the communities they represent. These community outreach efforts will improve the quality of the curricular recommendations, and increase the rate of adoption of the revised curricular guidelines through focused publicity and community buy-in. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.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.
