Abstract Title: Department-Wide Computational Integration
Abstract: This workshop will explore the challenges and opportunities in integrating computation in a coherent way throughout a larger program of study -- either an introductory physics sequence or an entire physics degree. Participants will examine how to plan a coherent, program-wide set of computational learning goals so that students build on their previous skills in each new class, assessment strategies for both student work and for the computational aspect of the program itself, and the challenges inherent in creating program-wide curricular reform that aligns with other department objectives.
