IUSE/PFE:RED: Computer Science Professionals Hatchery (CSP Hatchery)

计算机科学专业孵化器旨在通过复制软件公司环境的最佳元素来改变本科教育，将道德，伦理和社会线程与企业家精神和专业技能分层，以培养不仅在技术上熟练和有效的团队成员的毕业生，而且还被赋予了积极的文化变革的代理人。计算机科学专业孵化场的两个关键课程特征是：（1）垂直整合。而不是被孤立，学生在各个年级将与行业赞助的项目相互学习和合作。通过这样做，孵化场将联合教师和行业专业人士，通过令人兴奋的相关项目指导学生团队，培养学生，教师和行业之间强烈的社区意识。(2)简短、狭隘的孵化单元将通过展示贯穿课程的具体、基础概念或技能（例如通信、软件工程协作工具或网络安全）的各个方面，使用一种独特的方法，将灵活和精简的孵化单元与常规课程相结合，以补充常规课程的工作。孵化单位还将作为高级顶点团队的协调中心，与其他级别的团队合作，指导和指导。 孵化器因此结合了灵活的，以技能为基础的方法，在最好的代码学校与知识的深度和严谨性，最好在学术环境中获得，在一个多团队的学习环境，复制专业公司environment.The建议孵化器结构将使探索方法，识别和解决道德和伦理问题，支持专业工作在计算机科学。它将研究和开发将社会正义的分析哲学原则纳入本科计算机科学课程的方法，以便将道德和伦理责任与社会正义结合起来，沿着技术专长，彻底改变本科计算机科学教育，并培养毕业生，使他们更好地为敏捷和多样化的开发团队的成员做好工业准备。此外，该项目将确定影响部门教学文化积极变化的有效做法，并作为其他博伊西州部门和其他机构部门的典范。拟议项目利用了三个因素，这些因素也可在不同程度上适用于其他部门。(1)深层管道。博伊西州CS部门已经在从K-12到工业的整个学习管道中建立了关系。因此，将正在进行的K-12项目与本提案中描述的工作相结合，将能够从早期塑造软件开发文化，并提供有效转变本地软件生态系统的模式。 (2)文化转型。为了应对行业对人才的需求和前所未有的招生增长，在过去的四年里，CS部门已经聘请了21名全职教师和讲师;这使得一个理想的环境，以制定建立所需的新文化规范的方法。(3)物理过渡。CS部门正在搬到一个新的建筑与大量的软件公司，这提供了一个独特的机会，设计学习环境的物理特性，以最大限度地提高行业和学生的互动，促进多样性，并鼓励团队合作。

The Computer Science Professionals Hatchery seeks to transform undergraduate education by replicating the best elements of a software company environment, layering in moral, ethical, and social threads with entrepreneurship and professional skills, to produce graduates who are not only technically adept and effective team members, but also empowered as agents of positive cultural change in their workplaces. Two critical curriculum features of the Computer Science Professionals Hatchery are: (1) VERTICAL INTEGRATION. Instead of being siloed, students at all grade levels will work with and learn from each other on industry sponsored projects. By so doing, the Hatchery will unite faculty and industry professionals to mentor student teams through exciting and relevant projects, fostering a strong sense of community amongst students, faculty, and industry. (2) Short, narrowly focused HATCHERY UNITS will complement regular course work by presenting aspects of specific, foundational concepts or skills--such as communication, software engineering collaboration tools or cybersecurity--that cut across the curriculum, using a unique approach that overlays nimble and lean Hatchery Units with regular courses. The Hatchery Units will also serve as focal points for senior-level capstone teams to work with, mentor, and direct teams at other grade levels. The Hatchery thus combines the flexible, skills-based approach found in the best of the code schools with the depth and rigor of knowledge best acquired in an academic setting, in a multi-team learning environment that replicates the professional company environment.The proposed Hatchery structure will enable exploring methods for identifying and addressing moral and ethical issues supporting professional work in computer science. It will research and develop approaches for incorporating analytic philosophical principles of social justice into undergraduate computer science curricula in order to bind moral and ethical responsibilities to social justice, along with technical expertise, revolutionizing undergraduate computer science education and producing graduates who are better prepared for industry as members of agile and diverse development teams. In addition, this project will determine effective practices for affecting positive changes in department teaching culture, and serve as a model for other Boise State departments and for departments at other institutions. The proposed project is capitalizing on three factors that can apply in varying levels to other departments as well. (1) DEEP PIPELINE. The Boise State CS department has developed relationships throughout the learning pipeline from K-12 to industry. Therefore, combining ongoing K-12 projects with work described in this proposal will enable shaping a software development culture from an early age and provide a model of effective transformation of a local software ecosystem. (2) CULTURAL TRANSITION. In response to industry demand for talent and unprecedented enrollment growth, over the past four years the CS department has hired 21 full-time faculty and lecturers; this makes for an ideal environment to develop methods for establishing desired new cultural norms. (3) PHYSICAL TRANSITION. The CS department is moving to a new building co-located with a large number of software companies, which presents a unique opportunity to design the physical characteristics of the learning environment to maximize industry and student interaction, promote diversity, and encourage teamwork.
