Introduction to programming for scientists and engineers (abstract only)
Peter H. Froehlich, Joanne F. Selinski · 2014
At many universities, computer science departments traditionally offer introductory programming as a "service course" to other departments. In recent years, however, more and more outside departments---apparently dissatisfied with the CS courses---have begun to offer their own versions of introductory programming. Our BOF will provide a forum to discuss this development and to exchange ideas for addressing it.
