CS-1 for Scientists Panel Proposal Greg Wilson â Dept. of Computer Science University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 2E4 gvwilson@cs.toronto.edu Categories and Subject Descriptors K.3 [K.3.2]: Computer and Information Science Education 4. How to present scienti c topics and examples to mainstream computer science students, many of whom are unfamiliar with advanced mathematics. 5. What e ect such changes might have on enrollments in a ected disciplines. General Terms Design Keywords CS-1, Computational Science 2. PANELISTS 1. PROPOSAL Students in science and engineering are poorly served by most general-purpose CS-1 courses, which rarely discuss scienti c problems or applications. At the same time, fewer and fewer computer science students are exposed to scienti c ideas or thinking in any of their introductory courses. This divide hurts both sides: scientists and engineers must struggle later in their careers to pick up the computing skills and mindset they need to cope with increasingly computational disciplines, while CS graduates lack the background knowledge needed to work in relevant domains ranging from health care to climate modeling. The aim of this panel is to explore what each community thinks it and its students need, and to discuss what is being
