Computing in Undergraduate Education (CUE) Program Webinar

The Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Computing in Undergraduate Education (IUSE: CUE) program aims to better prepare a wider, more diverse range of students to collaboratively use computation across a range of contexts and challenging problems. With this substantially revised solicitation, the National Science Foundation focuses on re-envisioning how to teach computing effectively to a broad group of students, in a scalable manner, with an emphasis on broadening participation of groups who are underrepresented and underserved by traditional computing courses and careers. These groups may include women, persons with disabilities, Blacks and African Americans, Hispanics and Latinos, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Other Pacific Islanders. The CUE program will support three categories of awards:

• The Transformation track focuses on addressing one or more key challenges areas in transforming undergraduate computing education through innovative programs.
• The Pathways track considers the multiple entry and exit points through two-year colleges as part of effective pathways to computing degrees and careers.
• The Mobilizing track aims to develop a shared national vision around innovation and inclusion in undergraduate computing education.

The webinar will include a briefing on the CUE program and key solicitation requirements followed by a question-and-answer session. Prior to the webinar, you can submit questions to iuse-cue@nsf.gov.
