This award will test pathways for the delivery of computing across the curriculum in the context of undergraduate degrees at residential liberal arts colleges. The project will be organized as a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) that includes faculty from three colleges representing 10 distinct disciplines, as well as the heads of computer science and data science or data analytics at all three institutions. The multi-institutional NIC will provide an important opportunity for the project team to determine the most effective methods for delivering computer science (CS) content and working with non-CS faculty across a range of institutional governance and departmental structural differences. This project addresses the national desire to prepare larger and more diverse student populations for careers in both CS and non-CS fields, including careers in scientific and non-scientific disciplines.Project activities are five-fold. First, the project will identify a set of core computing concepts that should be learned by every student today, particularly those students who are applying computing in non-CS fields. Second, it will rigorously evaluate the relative effectiveness of venues, including curriculum and course structure, for exposing students to the core computing concepts. Third, the project will analyze the kind and extent of preparation, guidance, and support necessary for non-CS faculty to incorporate and teach computing concepts in their courses. Fourth, it will analyze the extent to which the addition of computing concept material impacts student acquisition of disciplinary knowledge in non-CS courses. Lastly, it will analyze the impact on affiliated non-CS faculty with regard to their own teaching and research as they learn more about computing, and work collaboratively with other non-CS faculty on integration of computing into courses. By including fields that are more demographically diverse than CS, the researchers expect to broaden the pool of students who learn about computing and its applications. By integrating ethical considerations into the teaching of core computing concepts from the start, it is expected that students will learn to naturally ask ethical questions as part of their computational problem solving instead of as an afterthought. Finally, the project will develop a guiding document for similar institutions on how to effectively infuse core computing concepts across an institution in a "computing across the curriculum" approach. This IUSE: CUE project is co-funded by the EHR/DUE and all CISE Directorates CNS, CCF, IIS, and OAC, reflecting the project's alignment with the broader goals of the IUSE: EHR program in DUE and complementary programs in CISE.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将测试在住宅文科学院的本科学位的背景下，在整个课程中提供计算的途径。该项目将被组织为一个网络改进社区（NIC），其中包括三所代表10个不同学科的学院的教职员工，以及所有三个机构的计算机科学和数据科学或数据分析的负责人。多机构的NIC将为项目团队提供一个重要的机会，以确定交付计算机科学（CS）内容的最有效方法，并在一系列机构治理和部门的结构差异中与非CS教师合作。该项目旨在为在CS和非CS领域的职业中准备更大，更多样化的学生人数，包括科学和非科学学科的职业。项目活动是五倍。首先，该项目将确定一组核心计算概念，这些核心计算概念应由当今每个学生学习，尤其是那些在非CS领域应用计算的学生。其次，它将严格评估场地的相对有效性，包括课程和课程结构，以使学生接触核心计算概念。第三，该项目将分析非CS教师在课程中纳入和教授计算概念所必需的准备，指导和支持的程度和范围。第四，它将分析添加计算概念材料在多大程度上影响学生对非CS课程中学科知识的获取的程度。最后，它将分析对他们自己的教学和研究的影响，因为他们更多地了解计算机，并与其他非CS教师合作，将计算集成为课程。通过包括比CS更多样化的领域，研究人员希望扩大学习计算及其应用的学生库。通过将道德考虑从一开始就将核心计算概念的教学整合到教学中，可以预计学生将学会自然地提出道德问题，作为他们计算问题解决的一部分，而不是作为事后想法。最后，该项目将为类似机构开发指导文档，以在“跨课程”方法中有效地注入机构中的核心计算概念。这个IUSE：CUE项目由EHR/届满和所有CISE董事会共同资助，CCF，IIS和OAC共同反映了该项目与IUSE的更广泛目标的一致性：EHR计划：在CISE中的适当和补充计划中的EHR计划。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务和经过评估的范围，这是通过评估的范围来进行的。
