Laboratory for Introductory Computer Science Sequence

建议为计算机科学入门序列设置一个新的实验室组件。将建立一个计算机科学设施，为这些课程提供有效的“封闭”实验室部分。该项目将影响到计算机科学系教授的所有课程。新的计算机服务器将被添加到现有网络中，并将作为计算机科学设施发挥作用。参加计算机科学课程的学生将能够在校园内外访问这一设施。由于它将是一个系设施，学生将被允许尽可能多地进入。由以前和目前资助的NSF项目开发的材料将尽可能多地用于该项目中的实验室的开发。这将以尽可能快和尽可能昂贵的方式提供最好的实验室软件。每一个参加计算机科学课程的学生，无论是专业还是非专业的学生，都将有机会尽可能多地学习，并为转到其他高校做好更好的准备。

A new laboratory component is proposed for the introductory computer science sequence. A computer science facility will be established that will provide for an effective "closed" laboratory component to these courses. The project will affect all the courses taught by the computer science department. New computer-servers will be added to the existing network and will function as a computer science facility. Students taking computer science classes will be able to access this facility from on and off campus. Since it will be a department facility the students will be given as much access as possible. Material developed by previously and currently funded NSF projects will be used as much as possible in the development of the laboratories in this project. This will provide the best laboratory software as quickly and as expensively as is possible. Every student taking computer science courses, both majors and non majors will have the opportunity to learn as much as they can and will be better prepared for transfer to other colleges and universities.
