2017 will most likely be SIGCAS's busiest year to date. Yes, I know that sounds SIGCAS Chair propaganda, but allow me to explain. Hopefully, the the conclusion of this column you'll be in agreement.

In this paper, we present an exploration of the values which students consider when selecting their capstone project. The five core values considered were difficulty, experience gained, social value, fun, and topic familiarity. Students were surveyed and asked to indicate the level of importance they placed on each of these ...

It is important to ask to what degree does a given undergraduate curriculum either reinforce impeding myths and misconceptions about computing or work to dismantle them. Particular focus should be placed on motivating examples and programming projects throughout the curriculum, with special focus on the introductory courses. Students' perceptions about ...

Mathematics was once dubbed by Carl Gauss the "Queen of the Sciences." Given how pervasive computing has become, what should we say about it? In 2001, a New York Times column declared that "All Science is Computer Science"[7]. Since that time, computing has made tremendous inroads in the Humanities as ...

As operating systems evolve, so must operating systems projects. Most operating systems courseware systems are based on the significantly out of date MIPS architecture, and only one of these supports multiprocessors. This paper introduces μARM, a pedagogically undergraduate-appropriate ARM7tdmi-based system emulator/architecture. Furthermore, we present JaeOS, a specification for a multi-layer ...

Study Abroad Experiences in Computer Science (Abstract Only)
February 2015
SIGCSE '15: Proceedings of the 46th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education
Publisher: ACM
This BoF is to gather computer science educators interested in helping to create successful study abroad experiences for computer science students. While study abroad consistency places number one as the most impactful experience an undergraduate can have, computer science students have some of the lowest study abroad participation rates. While ...

The de-facto standard for network programming, the Berkeley socket API, supports several protocol families. Unfortunately, it has a significant limitation in only allowing a single implementation for each supported protocol family. Hence, using Berkeley sockets, it is impossible to access multiple distinct networking stacks for the same protocol, e.g. multiple ...
