Locations will be announced at the Symposium |
| Advancing CS Education Research as a Viable Field Organizer: Vicki Almstrum, Laurie Williams To discuss the status and future directions of CS education as a viable research field. |
| Computing at Community Colleges Organizer: Karl Klee To share ideas between Symposium participants teaching at community colleges and two-year technical colleges. |
| The Computing Environment for Our Students Organizers: Mats Daniels, Anders Berglund To discuss how best to address the pressure on computing resources created as more and more of the work students do requires access to computers, while technology advances and prices fall rapidly. |
| Coordination Among SIGCSE, CCSC, and Other Regional Computing Education Organizations Organizers: J. Paul Myers, Barbara Owens, Margaret Reek, Ingrid Russell To find ways for SIGCSE and CCSC (and other regional entities) to cooperate with one another. Maybe we can address the larger issues of coordination and complementary roles for the two organizations. |
| Digital Libraries for CS Educators Organizer: Deborah Knox To disseminate information on digital library projects and encourage discussion on the additional kinds of support materials desired in an on-line resource center. |

| History in the Computing Curriculum Organizers: John Impagliazzo and Gordon Davies To discuss recent work on models and recommendations for including history in the computing curriculum. |
| Industrial Project Management Techniques in the Classroom Organizer: Jim Daehn To discuss the merits of industrial project management techniques as applied to student projects, in particular the advantages and disadvantages of team-based projects. |
| Language Use in CS1 - What Works, What Doesn't Organizer: Suzanne Pawlan-Levy To share experiences with such languages as Ada, C, C++, Java, and Scheme in introductory courses. |
| Preparing Graduate Students for Careers in Teaching Organizers: Scott Weiss and Richard Wicentowski To allow both graduate students and professors to share their experiences and thoughts on how graduate school does, could, and should prepare people for teaching careers. |
| Research Experiences for Undergraduates: Expanding Horizons Organizers: Margaret Reek et al. To increase awareness of NSF's Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, and thereby enable more faculty and students to participate. |
| Visualizations for Teaching Computer Science Organizer: Scott Grissom To discuss visualization tools and demonstrations as used in teaching computer science. |
| Web-Based Distance Education Organizer: Dale Shaffer To share ideas and experiences regarding the use of Web-based distance education, especially when applied to entire computer science undergraduate curricula. |
