1 Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries and Forging Collaborations Networking CPATH Projects and Community Resource

2 Ways to Cross Boundaries Team members from multiple fields Math, engineering, science, education, public school teachers, industry, and government Working closely with industry side Balance industry requirements and academic education requirements Adjust the curriculum to make students more marketable Communication – telecommunications,CSCW

3 Obstacles Encountered Physical isolation Inertia: Reluctant to change format of courses e.g.add lab component to courses, space, cost How to make home-made certificate widely accepted, adding certificate is not a big burden Finding partner institutions and experts in other institutions Enrollment, costs, workload, stove-piping

4 Strategies to Overcome Obstacles Create a virtual community and help each other Integrate certificate with courses scholarship support to students What the employer is looking for Federal government, cyber security Leverage industry and gov’t interests Interact with students, find opportunities in the curriculum Sharing

5 Challenges when working with faculty and students Reluctant to change the materials or change the way of delivering the contents Shotgun marriages

6 Ways CPATH community can help A central website of the community Create a national curriculum, course materials K-12 and university level in different fields Computing in social science, engineering, sciences

7 Other big ideas Will computational thinking make CS or a different subject into a service subject? Can we create CS departments that are committed to a service agenda while also remaining committed to our disciplinary goals.

8 Summary Topic-Based Approaches Computing-related areas Disciplinary areas Inter / Multi disciplinary collaboration areas Education / Pedagogy Tool-based, Problem-based, Project-based Modules, courses, other packaging Requirements, assessment, administration Infrastructure Resource-sharing, collections and mechanisms Collaborations across boundaries
