File:CS4PE CSEET2010 Workshop Description.pdf

This workshop will address the problem of providing education in foundational computer science principles and techniques for the large population of practicing software developers who do not have a formal computer science background. Participants will be introduced to an NSF-sponsored project within Carnegie Mellon University’s Masters in Software Engineering Programs to bridge gaps in formal training of practicing engineers using modules that cover the foundational material in a way that can be put to use directly. A key feature is tight coupling with practical exercises within the context of hands-on applications. Participants are encouraged to contribute ideas regarding content, delivery methods, outcomes, and examples.
