Problem 1: Demand

Problem 1: Supply

Problem 2: The World is Now Flat “…the newest technologists have to become renaissance geeks. They have to understand computing, … they also typically need deep knowledge of some other field, from biology to business, Wall Street to Hollywood.”

“If you have only technical knowledge, you are vulnerable,” ---Thomas W. Malone, MIT

No One had an Answer MIT CMU Stanford Berkeley …

Transformative Approach Worked Backwards… What Do Students Need? What Do Employers Need? What Do Professors Need?

Threads… Easier To Explain And Understand Partial Paths Through The Curriculum Easier To Explain And Understand Cross Departmental Boundaries

“Embodiment” Where Computing Meets The Physical World

“Media” How Computing is Used Expressively

“People” Where Computing Meets Users

8 Threads Embodiment Intelligence Platforms People Internetworking Media Foundations Computational Modeling

The Whole Package Freshman Leap Sophomore Leap Threadspace Advising Delivery

Impact? Applications were down 20% Introduced Threads Fall 2006 Freshman Class was 20% Larger Than The Year Before 2008 vs 2007 up 15% Yield and broad appeal look very strong It’s hard to measure Impact for a whole curriculum, let alone a set of principles or perspectives on curriculum. The real impact is measured across years and into the careers of our alumni. What we can say is that, in the short term, Threads has had an impact on bucking a national trend in CS enrollment. Across the country, CS enrollment is down. (Even worse in England and Australia.) But in the College of Computing, we’re up 20% on the year before. That’s dramatic. Much of that is due to just getting the word out, no serious marketing effort. But Threads is exciting enough that students are coming to see us, as offering something different than most CS.

Impact? Chapter 7 of “The World is Flat” “The Right Stuff”
