The second course in the standard Computer Science curriculum (CS 2) is often based on a theoretical study of data structures without an integrating practical component. As this course migrates to an object-oriented approach, students and instructors must be given materials to support a unified and application-oriented course. We propose to develop learning modules that support an application oriented, apprenticeship learning approach to the CS 2 course. Each module supports a methodology that is inverted from the traditional "learn a data structure and use it in a program" approach. Rather than studying data structures to use in applications, we propose to use applications to study data structures. Each module supports an apprentice style of learning wherein students read and modify implementations of data structures and application programs before writing them from scratch. Modules supply code libraries and frameworks, explanatory material for students and instructors, and potential programming, lab, and homework exercises. Each module supplies a situated learning experience that engages students from the outset by providing practical and illuminating examples for how and why data structures are used. Applications are interdisciplinary in nature, graphical where appropriate, and integrate several data structures into real-world programs. Modules will be developed to support object-oriented (using C++) design and programs, but each module will be developed as an Abstract Data Type (using C) to reach as wide an audience as possible. Three institutions are collaborating in this proposal: a research and teaching oriented private university, a teaching oriented public university, and a teaching oriented historically black university, ensuring that material will be accessible to a wide audience. The modules developed will be made available electronically, as hyper-text documents, and as published material to supplement traditional texts.

标准计算机科学课程（CS 2）的第二课程通常基于对没有整合实际组件的数据结构的理论研究。当本课程迁移到面向对象的方法时，必须给学生和讲师提供材料以支持统一和面向申请的课程。我们建议开发支持CS 2课程的面向应用程序的学徒学习方法的学习模块。每个模块都支持一种从传统的“学习数据结构并将其用于程序中使用”方法的方法。我们建议使用应用程序来研究数据结构，而不是研究要在应用中使用的数据结构。每个模块都支持一种学徒风格的学习方式，学生在从头开始编写数据结构和应用程序程序的实现。模块提供代码库和框架，学生和讲师的解释性材料以及潜在的节目，实验室和作业练习。每个模块都提供一种位置的学习体验，从一开始就通过提供实用和启发性的示例来吸引学生，以了解如何以及为什么使用数据结构。应用程序本质上是跨学科的，在适当的情况下是图形的，并将几个数据结构整合到现实世界中。将开发模块以支持面向对象的设计和程序，但是每个模块都将作为抽象数据类型（使用C）开发，以尽可能宽。该提案中有三​​个机构正在合作：一项以研究和教学为导向的私立大学，一所面向教学的公立大学以及一个以教学为导向的历史黑人大学，以确保广泛的受众可以使用材料。开发的模块将以电子方式作为超文本文档，并作为补充传统文本的已发表材料。
