An Information Resouce for Curriculum Development and Program Enhancement in Computer Science

全国各地的计算机科学教育工作者正在努力跟上研究，技术和教学法的进步。 了解这些进展对于制定和维持相关课程至关重要。 获得有关学位课程，课程，教师和学生的信息将在规划和实施课程和课程开发中非常有用。 目前，各机构之间没有就课程、教学法或基础设施等问题进行有组织的交流。 因此，由于缺乏信息共享，许多部门“重新发明轮子”，努力解决其他部门已经解决的问题，或努力解决没有获得支持信息的问题。 这个项目的主要目标是提供一个易于访问的信息资源提供本科计算机科学学位课程的部门。 该资源将（a）促进各部门之间的信息共享和交流，（B）提供可用于监控，比较和评估课程问题，教师组成，教师工作量，学生入学率和毕业率方面的计划的信息，以及（c）提供支持信息，用于规划和实施课程和课程开发以及整体计划的增强。

Computer science educators across the nation are struggling to keep abreast of advances in research, technology, and pedagogy. Knowledge of such advances is critical in developing and maintaining relevant curricula. Access to information related to degree programs, curricula, faculty, and students will be extremely useful in planning and implementing course and curriculum developments. Currently, there is no organized communication among institutions on issues related to curricula, pedagogy, or infrastructure. Consequently, due to lack of information sharing, many departments "reinvent the wheel" by working to solve problems already addressed by others or working to solve problems without access to supporting information. The primary goal of this project is to provide an easily accessible information resource for departments offering undergraduate computer science degree programs. This resource will (a) facilitate the sharing and communication of information among departments, (b) provide information that can be used to monitor, compare, and assess programs in terms of curriculum issues, faculty composition, faculty work loads, student enrollment, and graduation rates, and (c) provide supporting information to be used in planning and implementing course and curriculum developments and overall program enhancements.
