  2. Outline • 1. Undergraduate Computer Science Education in China • 2. International Connections

  3. 1. Undergraduate Computer Science Education in China • Computer science and technology plays a pivotal role in the rapid growth of China’s economy. • Moving from an “elite computer education” model to a “mass education” model. • Many issues of evolution of computer science education in China are worldwide faced regarding innovation, internationalization, and relevance to society’s needs.

  4. Background in Computing Education in China • In 1956, the discipline Computer Science and Technology established. • In 1996, the current curriculum was proposed, emphasized computer software and computer applications. • In 1998, the Ministry of Education (MOE) in China promoted the transition from “elite education” to “mass education” by dramatically increasing university enrollments.

  5. CS Related Undergraduates is 5% of the Total Enrollment

  6. Table: Key Computer-related Disciplines(2005)

  7. Background in Computing Education in China • In 2003, the Advisory Committee for the Computing Discipline of the MOE kicked off a program for China’s Computing Curricula. • advise the MOE regarding strategic directions for undergraduate disciplines • provide curriculum guidance to educational institutions • supervise the evaluation of computing education

  8. Professional Computing Education for Majors Pyramid Model of Computing Education

  9. Challenges for computing professional education • Broadening of the discipline’s intention • Development of greater independence of sub-disciplines within the discipline of computing • Addressing the diversity of society’s needs for information technology • Coping with the popularization and huge scale of computing education

  10. Fundamental Computer Science Education for Non-majors • Problems and challenges • The growth of computing-related disciplines. • Relationship to professional education in other disciplines. • The quality of fundamental computing education. • Computational Thinking

  11. 2. International Connections • UCFCS – SIGCSE like conference • Invited International Speakers • ACM/CCF Joint Membership • Feedback for CS2013 • Comments • Emphasis on Labs • Possibility to join in • CS, CE, SE, IT work groups • Other ACM Councils
