Robotics as a Unifying Theme for Computing Curriculum 2001

计算机科学(31)这个项目证明机器人学(特别是乐高头脑风暴平台)可以是一种成本效益高和广泛适用的工具，用于教授ACM/IEEE计算课程2001(CC2001)的很大一部分知识。我们正在开发一套可扩展的30-40项作业和实验室练习，使用乐高MindStorms机器人套件来激励和支持学生在CC2001适用的知识领域进行主动学习。这些知识领域的例子包括操作系统中的并发性、网络中的分布式系统以及人工智能中的代理设计。其次，我们创建了新的软件工具，并将MindStorms用户社区中提供的现有免费软件包调整为更高级的目的。

Computer Science (31) This project demonstrates that robotics (in particular, the LEGOMindstorms platform) can be a cost-effective and widely-applicable tool for teaching a significant proportion of the ACM/IEEE Computing Curriculum 2001 (CC2001) Body of Knowledge. We are developing an extensible set of 30-40 assignments and laboratory exercises that use LEGO Mindstorms robot kits to motivate and support active student learning across applicable knowledge areas of the CC2001. Examples of such knowledge areas include concurrency in Operating Systems, distributed systems in Networking, and agent design in Artificial Intelligence. Secondly we create new software tools and adapt existing freeware packages available in the Mindstorms user community for our more advanced purposes.
