Computation in all its definitions (Computer Science, Computing, Computational Thinking, etc.) is becoming increasingly significant in STEM and non-STEM disciplines. Historically, Mathematics has been the discipline seen as required by all other disciplines. Computer Science faculty are wrestling with determining whether there is a single approach to infusing computation in other disciplines or whether there are many approaches. Coupled with the increased computational ability of students in other disciplines, it is known that interdisciplinary courses are more appealing to underrepresented groups. Ideally, the Computer Science community would be provided with a set of validated approaches to interdisciplinary education. In order to reach this goal, the community must investigate the educational value of various approaches. This workshop seeks to begin cataloging experiences to attain that goal. In this collaborative proposal a number of PIs from different college level institutions (research university, technology focused university, four-year engineering college, and four-year liberal arts college) will cooperate on holding a workshop where a number of different approaches to cross-disciplinary education will be investigated. This workshop will gather a number of faculty who have attempted such courses. The outcome will be a report that outlines approaches to computational interdisciplinary courses. This report will be made widely available.

计算的所有定义（计算机科学、计算、计算思维等）在 STEM 和非 STEM 学科中变得越来越重要。 从历史上看，数学一直被视为所有其他学科所需要的学科。 计算机科学教师正在努力确定是否有一种单一的方法可以将计算融入其他学科，或者是否有多种方法。众所周知，随着其他学科学生计算能力的提高，跨学科课程对代表性不足的群体更具吸引力。 理想情况下，计算机科学界将获得一套经过验证的跨学科教育方法。为了实现这一目标，社区必须研究各种方法的教育价值。 本次研讨会旨在开始对实现这一目标的经验进行编目。 在这个合作提案中，来自不同大学级别机构（研究型大学、技术型大学、四年制工程学院和四年制文理学院）的许多 PI 将合作举办一个研讨会，在研讨会上讨论多种不同的跨学科方法。纪律教育将受到调查。 该研讨会将聚集一些尝试过此类课程的教师。结果将是一份概述计算跨学科课程方法的报告。 这份报告将广泛发布。
