Title:Thoughts on Pedagogical Advances in Teaching Computer Science

Abstract：When computer science (CS) undergraduate programs began to proliferate in the USA and many other countries in the 1970s, the programs tended to be more theoretical than CS programs are today. As experience was gained with the programs and the needs of graduates for computing jobs, the programs became more applications-oriented but still with substantial theoretical content. The trend toward developing marketable skills in the programs continued with the addition of laboratory components for many courses to provide more hands-on learning activities for students. Additionally, interaction with companies who hire CS graduates repeatedly emphasized the need to include professional skills, such as communication, teamwork, professional interaction, and social/ethical considerations, in the learning activities of CS students.

Title:Reflections on the Evolution of Software Engineering Education

Abstract：From its beginnings in 1968, software engineering has evolved to a well-defined engineering discipline with strong educational underpinnings. It is now an important aspect of most computer science degree programs, and in addition there are substantial numbers of software engineering degree programs. We find software engineering degrees at the undergraduate and graduate levels at universities. In some cases, the focus is on software engineering practice and in others on software engineering research. We will discuss the evolution of software engineering education and software engineering principles, as well as future needs. We will also take a closer look at the software engineering degree programs at Carnegie Mellon University. CMU’s goal has been to provide its software engineering graduates with a deep understanding of the principles of software engineering, so that regardless of whether their goal is research or practice, they are prepared to reflect on and improve software engineering over the course of their careers.

Title: Reflections on the Evolution of Software Engineering Education

Abstract：The purpose of program competency is to ensure quality in learning that blends knowledge with skills and dispositions (behaviors) toward a degree. Industry and government employers are highly keen on hiring computing graduates who can perform on the job almost from the first day of work. Since approximately only 5% of computing and engineering graduates continue their learning to graduate school, 95% of all graduates enter the workplace. Graduates must fit within the job structure of an employer through the dispositions they have acquired through character development and undergraduate experiences. They must also be able to perform the job tasks through their acquired skills. While knowledge couples with skills to accomplish a task, performance is critical for a successful career in the workplace. Hence, competency is a valued characteristic for all graduates, especially those entering the job market. This presentation focuses on the foundations that support competency in computing and engineering. The discussion addresses the components and activities involved with skills and dispositions surrounding the knowledge students acquire. Therefore, competency is much more than passing exams because its underlying theme is performance in accomplishing a task.

Title:The Building of AI Program via the Tree of Knowledge

Abstract：Cognition is an important manifestation of human intelligence, and its cornerstone and fuel are standardized knowledge (such as concepts, attributes, and relationships). Boosted by the standardized knowledge, understanding and classification of learning objects can be fulfilled. The convergence of the tree of knowledge between different disciplines is a return to the essence of science, helping to generate new knowledge and achieve breakthroughs in science. Artificial intelligence can play an important role as a catalyst and empowering tools in interdisciplinary interactions. As a result, demand for professionals who are hard-wired in AI technology knowledge but who also possess interdisciplinary perspectives and transferable skills is becoming increasingly important. This talk discusses the practice of building AI program by integrating "textbook, course and platform" via the tree of knowledge.

Title: Automatic Generation of a Curriculum based on ACM/IEEE-CS Computing Curricula 2020

Abstract：The process of constructing a curriculum is a task that typically requires a significant amount of time and effort in computer science departments worldwide. It is a well-known fact that ACM/IEEE-CS takes approximately 5 years to update its recommendations. Once a curriculum is finalized, there is also a need to incorporate extensive accreditation-related information. In this talk, we will demonstrate how to automate the entire process of generating a curriculum plan in less than 10 minutes, adhering to international standards.

Title: Discussion on the innovation of compilation course based on domestic chips

Abstract：Compilation principle is an important and fundamental topic in computer science, which bridges the huge gap between computer users and the underlying hardware. Most of the current domestic compilation courses are indeed completely designed to cover the whole process from lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and finally to the underlying code translation, but the underlying code translation is mostly based on emulation or Intel CPU chips. On the other hand, the current high-end chips are cut off, such as NVIDIA A100 and H100 GPU, seriously affect the development of China's artificial intelligence industry ecology. The good news is that the domestic has self-developed chips, such as Loongson CPU, Cambrian and Huawei's artificial intelligence chip, the bad news is that the computing tasks on these chips are limited by the efficiency of the underlying software stack, especially the computing operators, and most of them cannot fully exploit the computing capacity of the hardware itself. Compiler plays a very important role, which firstly can automatically generate the missing long-tail operators in the domestic chip, secondly can automatically search for the operators with high execution efficiency according to the hardware characteristics of the domestic chip and the computing characteristics of the application, and can also automatically fuse several operators to reduce the data moving overhead on the chip, and so on. In order to achieve this vision, a large number of technical experts in the field of compilation is needed, but there is still a large gap in such technical personnel in China, so the training of the curriculum during the college period becomes a very important part, so that students can get started in advance and do compilation optimization innovation on the domestic chip, which can train talents and also dig the problems of the chip and promote the improvement of the capability of the domestic chip.

Title: Internet of Things teaching and research practice exploration -- taking wireless sensing as an example

Abstract：The competency model promoted in CC2020 requires a stronger emphasis on cultivating students' practical and innovative abilities in current education. This report takes the combination of Internet of Things (IoT) teaching and research practices as a starting point and discusses feasible solutions using wireless sensing for fruit quality perception, as an example. In this talk, I will introduce Wi-Fruit, a non-destructive and low-cost fruit moisture and SSC measurement system leveraging Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) and image information. A double-quotient model and multi-modal ANN processing is proposed to cope with the fruit structure, size, and type dependency challenges. The fruit internal sensing capabilities of Wi-Fruit can help fruit saving and safety in both pre-harvest and post-harvest applications, exploring the practical values of multi-modal sensing.-Fruit是一种利用 Wi-Fi 通道状态信息 (CSI) 和图像信息的无损且低成本的水果水分和 SSC 测量系统。 Wi-Fruit中提出的双商模型和多模态 人工神经网络用来应对水果结构、大小和类型依赖性挑战。 Wi-Fruit提供的多模态水果内部品质感知功能有助于在水果采摘前和采摘后后应用于辅助水果保存和品质安全评估，探索了多模态无线感知在现实生活中的应用价值。
