CISE Educational Infrastructrue: Integrating Computer Science Research Results Into an Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Curriculum

9312648 Cushing在这个项目下，常青州立学院、俄勒冈科学与技术研究生院和华盛顿提高本科教育质量中心将把面向对象数据库、科学数据管理和可视化、高阶逻辑和神经网络等方面的最新研究成果整合到常青州立大学的本科课程中。这些课程创新特别针对非博士学位授予机构。两个跨学科的长荣项目将作为原型：(1)科学应用的软件工程，(2)理论计算机科学、数学和认知科学的高级研究。工作的预期成果有三个方面：(1)课程材料，如教学大纲、研讨会和案例研究；(2)非博士的典范。为高等计算机科学领域的优秀项目提供资助；(3)计算机科学课程创新的传播模式。该项目包括一些旨在增加妇女和少数民族参与的活动，包括与美洲土著人的特别努力。传播是通过与华盛顿中心联合设计、由OGI研究人员和常青学院教员共同举办的讲习班来实现的。将首先在区域基础上提供处理课程材料的讲习班，使用经过验证的课程创新方法。稍后，国家讲习班将讨论已发展的课程革新以及这些革新的发展、评价和区域传播。* * *

9312648 Cushing Under this project, the Evergreen State College, Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology, and the Washington Center for Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education will integrate into undergraduate curricula at Evergreen State recent research results in object-oriented databases, scientific data management and visualization, higher order logics, and neural networks. These curricular innovations specifically target non- Ph.D. granting institutions. Two interdisciplinary Evergreen programs will serve as prototypes: (1) the software engineering of scientific applications, and (2) advanced studies in theoretical computer science, mathematics and cognitive science. Expected outcomes of the work are three-fold: (1) Course materials such as syllabi, workshops, and case studies; (2) A model for non-Ph.D. granting institutions for initiating programs of excellence in advanced computer science; and (3) A model for disseminating computer science curricular innovation. Incorporated in the project are a number of activities designed to increase the participation of women and minorities, including special efforts with Native Americans. Dissemination is effected through workshops, designed in conjunction with the Washington Center and conducted jointly by OGI researchers and Evergreen faculty. Workshops addressing course materials will be offered first on a regional basis, using proven methods for curricular innovation. Later, national workshops will address the curricular innovations developed as well as the development, assessment and regional dissemination of those innovations. ***
