CISE Educational Infrastructure: Computer Productivity Initiative

该奖项旨在表彰计算机生产力计划（CPI）的发展，该计划旨在通过发展跨越四年制本科课程的正式实验室经验来改善计算机科学教育。CPI将允许学生从规范阶段到实施阶段解决特定的工业问题。老道明大学将制作课程支持模块和其他教育材料，这些材料将提供给教育机构。老道明大学将使用计算机生产力计划来修改其计算机科学课程，为学生提供知识，以提高他们在软件开发中的生产力。在四年的本科学习期间，计算机科学专业的学生将在商业应用程序的背景下解决一个特定的非结构化问题。老道明大学现有的课程和实验室将进行修改，并开发新的课程和实验室。课程和材料编制的结果将提供给其他教育机构，教育经验的结果将在技术和教育刊物上传播，并在专业会议上发表报告。

This award is for the development of a Computer Productivity Initiative (CPI) that is designed to improve computer science education by developing a formal laboratory experience spanning the four year undergraduate program. CPI will allow the students to address a specific industrial problem from the specifications phase through to the implementation phase. Old Dominion University will be producing curriculum support modules, and other educational material which will be made available to educational institutions. Old Dominion University will be using a Computer Productivity Initiative to modify its Computer Science curriculum to provide its students with the knowledge to increase their productivity in software development. Over the four year time period of undergraduate study, computer science students will address a specific unstructured problem in the context of a business application. Existing courses and laboratories at Old Dominion University will be modified and new ones developed. The results of the curriculum and materials development will be made available to other educational institutions, and results of the educational experience will be disseminated in technical and educational journals, and at presentations at professional meetings.
