This project aims to serve the national interest by hosting a series of workshops for faculty, organized around a curriculum design workbook that supports curricular innovation in computing programs at liberal arts colleges. The workbook is informed by literature on curriculum design and analysis of trends in liberal arts curriculum innovation. It guides programs through a process of aligning their curriculum with their unique mission, identity, diversity and inclusion goals, and institutional contexts, while being informed by the forthcoming ACM/IEEE/AAAI CS2023 curriculum guidelines. Workshops will be held at the Association of Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) 2024 Technical Symposium, allowing participation by all interested educators, and at as many regional Consortium of Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC) conferences as possible to broaden outreach to faculty with more limited travel resources. The workshops will provide an important component of dissemination and engagement with the liberal arts computing education community. The workshops will also serve to improve the curriculum design workbook utilizing a novel method of iterative workbook design and identification of best practices for using the workbook’s process. The workbook will broadly impact innovative curricular design at liberal arts-focused institutions. This will, in turn, impact the students who will complete computing programs with innovative curricula. These students will help to fill the Nation’s needs for a workforce trained in technical skills grounded in a strong liberal arts foundation. The NSF IUSE: EDU Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.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.

该项目旨在通过为教师举办一系列研讨会来服务于国家利益，这些研讨会围绕支持文理学院计算机项目的课程创新的课程设计工作簿而组织。该工作簿以课程设计文献和自由派趋势分析为基础。艺术课程创新。它指导项目将其课程与其独特的使命、身份、多样性和包容性目标以及机构背景相结合，同时了解即将在 举行的 ACM/IEEE/AAAI CS2023 课程指南。协会计算机科学学院 (ACM) 计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组 (SIGCSE) 2024 年技术研讨会允许所有感兴趣的教育工作者参加，并参加尽可能多的地区大学计算机科学联盟 (CCSC) 会议，以扩大与教师的接触范围研讨会将提供文科计算机教育界的传播和参与的重要组成部分。研讨会还将利用迭代工作簿设计的新颖方法来改进课程设计工作簿。并确定使用工作簿流程的最佳实践。该工作簿将广泛影响以文科为重点的机构的创新课程设计，这反过来又会影响将完成创新课程的学生。国家对基于强大的文科基础的技术技能培训的劳动力的需求 NSF IUSE：EDU 计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生的 STEM 教育的有效性。创建、探索和实施有前途的实践和工具。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
