CPATH CB: Developing a Professional Community for Introducing the Principles of Enterprise Computing Technologies into the Undergraduate Curriculum

CPATH社区建设项目开发了一个专注于将企业计算技术引入本科计算教育的计算教育社区。马里斯特学院是与伊利诺伊州立大学、北卡罗来纳中央大学、阿肯色大学和威德纳大学合作的牵头机构。该团队计划将来自学术界、工业界和非营利部门的代表聚集在一起，开发和实施侧重于开发和维护企业系统所需技能的新课程，将它们整合到技术和地理上不同的系统网络中，并设计和实施跨越企业系统和分布式系统共同工作的网络的应用程序。学生应该具备建立和运行数据中心的技能，以最大限度地减少能源需求，并满足不断增长的业务连续性和灾难恢复需求。该项目包括由广泛的专家参与，以非专有标准为基础开发具有成本效益的本科课程，这些标准解决了在主要大型系统环境中遇到的基本计算技术原理。该项目的智力优势在于强大的协作团队和忠诚的行业合作伙伴。关注企业计算对国家来说是创新和重要的，但在学术和实践上也具有挑战性。该项目有可能在对该国具有新的重要性的领域产生新的研究和模式。该项目的更广泛影响包括发展一个教育社区，以分享新课程和课程等资源。实施新的企业计算课程可能会影响全国学生的就业前景和能力，因为新的创新计算途径向一系列学术学科的不同学生群体开放。

This CPATH Community Building project develops a computing education community focused on introducing enterprise computing technologies into undergraduate computing education. Marist College serves as the lead institution in partnership with Illinois State University, North Carolina Central University, University of Arkansas, and Widener University. The team plans to bring together representatives from academia, industry, and non-profit sectors to develop and implement new curricula focused on skills needed to develop and maintain enterprise systems, integrate them into networks of technologically and geographically diverse systems, and design and implement applications that span a network of enterprise systems and distributed systems working together. Students should have the skills to set up and run data centers that minimize energy requirements and meet the ever increasing need for business continuity and disaster recovery. The project includes participation by a wide range of experts to develop cost effective undergraduate curricula based on nonproprietary standards that address essential computing technology principles encountered in predominantly large system environments.The intellectual merit of the project lies in strong collaborative team and committed industry partners. The enterprise computing focus is innovative and important for the nation but also challenging both academically and practically. The project has the potential to produce new research and models in an area of emerging importance to the country.The broader impacts of the project include the development of an educational community to share resources such as new courses and curricula. The implementation of new enterprise computing curricula could impact job prospects and capacity for students across the country through new innovative computing pathways open to a diverse student population in a range of academic disciplines.
