This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of computer science (CS) is currently experiencing a surge in undergraduate degree production and course enrollments, which is straining program resources at many institutions and causing concern among faculty and administrators about how best to respond to the rapidly growing demand. There is also significant interest about what this growth will mean for the future of CS programs, the role of computer science in academic institutions, the field as a whole, and U.S. society more broadly. Assessing and Responding to the Growth of Computer Science Undergraduate Enrollments seeks to provide a better understanding of the current trends in computing enrollments in the context of past trends. It examines drivers of the current enrollment surge, relationships between the surge and current and potential gains in diversity in the field, and the potential impacts of responses to the increased demand for computing in higher education, and it considers the likely effects of those responses on students, faculty, and institutions. This report provides recommendations for what institutions of higher education, government agencies, and the private sector can do to respond to the surge and plan for a strong and sustainable future for the field of CS in general, the health of the institutions of higher education, and the prosperity of the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should every student take a computing course? What should be the content of these courses? How should they be taught, and by whom? This book addresses these questions by identifying the broader reaches of computing education, problem-solving and critical thinking as a general approach to learning. The book discusses new approaches to computing education, and considers whether the modern ubiquity of computing requires an educational approach that is inherently interdisciplinary and distinct from the traditional computer science perspective. The alternative approach that the authors advocate derives its mission from an intent to embed itself within an interdisciplinary arts and science context. An interdisciplinary approach to computing is compellingly valuable for students and educational institutions alike. Its goal is to support the educational and intellectual needs of students with interests in the entire range of academic disciplines. It capitalizes on students’ focus on career development and employers’ demand for technical, while also engaging a diverse student body that may not possess a pre-existing interest in computing for computing’s sake. This approach makes directly evident the applicability of computer science topics to real-world interdisciplinary problems beyond computing and recognizes that technical and computational abilities are essential within every discipline. The book offers a valuable resource for computer science and computing education instructors who are presently re-thinking their curricula and pedagogical approaches and are actively trying new methods in the classroom. It will also benefit graduate students considering a future of teaching in the field, as well as administrators (in both higher education and high schools) interested in becoming conversant in the discourse surrounding the future of computing education.

Download or read book Personal Mathematics and Computing written by Frank Wattenberg and published by . This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers can be effective tools for participating in the affairs of the world. They can also be used by the "experts" to erect barriers to participation. This book is a self-contained tutorial that can assist any reader with a background in high school mathematics in learning how to apply personal computing to enhance his or her understanding of modern quantitative methods in such areas as politics and economics, in environment and ecology, or in probability and statistics. The first part briefly introduces programming in True BASIC and includes eight programming projects that teach by example. These illustrate a variety of interesting applications and methods of computer-based quantitative reasoning - in lotteries and property taxes, in the law of supply and demand and the laws of chance (ESP, dice rolling, coin flipping, test taking), and in the use of peremptory challenges in jury selection. The remainder of the book applies mathematics and computing to real problems. Here the emphasis is on the art of expressing problems in ways that are amenable to computer analysis, with "assignments" for writing a number of computer programs for a wide variety of applications - in probability and statistics (a statistical comparison of two popular beers with the aid of a random number generator, a comparison of two roulette strategies, a statistical analysis of polling results, the Bell-Shaped Curve, and an analysis of a program aimed at reducing recidivism), in economic modeling (changing prices, inflation, mathematical tools for decision making, game theory), in optics (Fermat's principle, reflection and refraction, light caustics, funhouse mirrors, and an optical paradox), in Massachusetts local aid distribution, and in population models and ecology. Frank Wattenberg is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
