Laboratory Courses for Computer Science

奥伯林学院将继续为计算机科学专业开发两门以实验室为基础的入门课程，这两门课程是由前一年UCC资助的。该项目资助一名教师开发实验室材料，并在资助期间提供学生实验室助理。这两门课程遵循最近ACM/IEEE报告Computing Curriculum '91的建议，并强调算法和介绍性材料的概念发展。实验课程用于使课程更实际地介绍组成计算机科学的广泛主题，并加快和加强学生对需要实践经验的技术问题的学习。预计这些变化将使课程更有趣、更有用、更准确地反映该领域，并对主修计算机科学的女性和少数民族的人数产生积极影响。

Oberlin College will continue the development of two laboratory-based introductory courses for the computer science major started with a previous UCC grant of one year. This project supports a faculty member for the development of the laboratory materials, and student laboratory assistants during the period of the grant. The two courses follow the recommendations of the recent ACM/IEEE report Computing Curriculum '91, and gives emphasis to algorithms and conceptual development of the introductory material. The laboratory sessions are used to make the courses more realistic introductions to the broad range of topics that make up computer science, and to speed up and enhance the students' learning of technical matters that require hands-on experience. These changes are expected to make the courses more interesting, more useful, and more accurate reflections of the field, and to create a positive effect on the number of women and minorities majoring in computer science.
