-====== Computer Science Teaching Endorsement ====== +Moved to [[License]].
- +
-The Purdue Computer Science Teaching Endorsement prepares education majors ​to teach computer science in secondary schools. ​ The endorsement is designed to meet the ISTE Secondary Computer Science Education ​[[http://​www.ncate.org/​documents/​ProgramStandards/​ISTE_csed_2002.pdf | program standards]]. The endorsement consists of two components, one in computer science and one in education. +
- +
-===== 1. Computer Science Course Work ===== +
- +
-The computer science foundation is obtained by taking five courses. Some of the courses are not only offered by Computer Science, but also through Electrical & Computer Engineering and Mathematics. +
- +
-  - Contemporary Issues in Computing (CS 190, 1 credit) +
-  - Problem Solving and Object-Oriented Programming (CS 180, 4 credits, Java) +
-  - Programming in C (CS 240, 3 credits; CS 158 or 159 or ECE 264 also possible) +
-  - Foundations of CS/Discrete Math (CS 182, 3 credits; ​ Math 375 or ECE 369 also possible) +
-  - Data Structures and Algorithms (CS 251, 3 credits; ECE 368 also possible) +
- +
-In addition, students take one elective course, which can be a computer science course or a computing-related course relevant to activities a computer science teacher will engage in. The elective course can be: +
- +
-  * CS 177 (if taken before CS 180) +
-  * CS course at 200- or higher level +
-  * CGT/CIT course in web programming +
-  * EPICS participation (requires approval) +
-  * Other computing related course (approved on a case-by-case basis). +
- +
-===== 2. Education Course Work and Practicum ===== +
- +
-The education-related requirements include a computer science methods course, which addresses methods for teaching computer science at the high school level, and a teaching practicum in CS completed in coordination with the teaching practicum in the primary licensure area: +
- +
-  - Methods of Teaching Computer Science in Secondary Schools (EDCI 4xx, 3 credits) +
-  - Teaching Practicum (CS teaching experience will be added to primary licensure area) +
