Collaborative Project: C-SPIRIT: Coastline - Seamless Articulation Program for Informatics Recruitment and Intersegmental Transfer

(31)计算机科学和工程这个合作的海岸线-信息学招聘和跨部门转移无缝衔接计划(C-SPIRIT)项目正在海岸线社区学院和加州大学欧文分校之间创建一个完全衔接的信息学计划。信息学被定义为专注于在上下文中进行计算。虽然软件工程是信息学的核心，但它包括研究信息技术的设计、应用、使用和对现实世界问题的影响。除了计算机科学的相当大一部分核心之外，信息学还包括其他学科的重要方面，如社会科学、认知科学、计算机支持的协作工作、人机交互和组织研究。加州大学欧文分校为其新的信息学学士学位开发的课程和课程正在进行调整，以供社区学院的学生提供攻读学士学位的途径，或在获得信息学证书或副学士学位后进入劳动力市场。就业领域包括计算机支持专家，这是奥兰治县当地服务区域内为信息学毕业生提供的众多工作的代表。海岸线的教职员工正在接受信息学课程和方法方面的培训。招聘程序针对的是女性、少数族裔和第一代大学生。参加该项目的学生被组织成队列，并得到位于海岸线的学生成功中心的支持。该项目正在部署学习策略，以发展学生解决问题和批判性思维的能力。传播是通过一些会议，包括美国社区学院协会年会、社区学院创新联盟以及在加州大学欧文分校举行的C-SPIRE项目结束信息学会议。

(31) Computer Science and Engineering This collaborative Coastline-Seamless Articulation Program for Informatics Recruitment and Intersegmental Transfer (C-SPIRIT) project is creating a fully articulated Informatics program between Coastline Community College and the University of California, Irvine. Informatics is defined as a focus on computing in context. While software engineering is at the heart of informatics, it includes the study of the design, application, use and impact of information technology to real world problems. In addition to a considerable portion of the core of computer science, informatics incorporates significant aspects of other disciplines such as social science, cognitive science, computer-supported collaborative work, human-computer interaction, and organizational studies. Curriculum and courses that have been developed at UC Irvine for their new BS Degree in Informatics are being adapted for community college students to provide pathways to a BS degree or to enter the workforce after receiving an Informatics Certificate or Associates Degree. Areas of employment include computer support specialist, which is representative of the multitude of jobs available for informatics graduates within the local service area of Orange County. Faculty members at Coastline are being trained in informatics curriculum and methodology. Recruitment processes target women, minorities and first-generation college students. Students entering the program are being organized into cohorts and are supported by the Student Success Center at Coastline. The project is deploying learning strategies to develop students' problem solving and critical thinking skills. Dissemination is through a number of conferences including the Annual Convention of the American Association of Community Colleges, League for Innovation in Community Colleges and through the C-SPIRIT End-of-Project Informatics Conference at UC Irvine.
