What is CPACE?

Michigan State University (MSU), Lansing Community College (LCC), and the Corporation for Skilled Workforce (CSW) are extending the collaboration from an initial CPATH CB project to prepare a globally competitive engineering workforce that is able to apply Computational Thinking (CT) to a broad range of societal challenges and opportunities. Computational Thinking "represents a universally applicable attitude and skill set" fundamental for everyone (Wing, 2006). Broadly defined in the context of the engineering practice, computational thinking involves solving problems and designing systems by making use of fundamental computer science concepts.
Our goal is to redesign the role of computing within the engineering programs at MSU and LCC to develop CT competencies - informed by industry needs - by infusing CT learning opportunities into the undergraduate engineering curriculum.

CPACE Industry Report 2009

Based on extensive interviews with engineering employers and surveys of working engineers, this report outlines the present and future engineering workforce computational needs.
