Members: Contractor, Kumar, Spertus, & Stutzman

In this group, you use the following topic areas and questions to guide your discussion. Feel free to add more.

• What kind of material belongs in a module?
• What is the essential background a student needs in order to have allow substantial discussion and experimentation with networks?

• What are some best practices for engaging students from different disciplines in a subject?
• The Science of Networks is a broad field. What core concepts matter? What themes reoccur across disciplines?
• What should students learn about computer science’s contribution to the modeling and analysis of networks?

• Can we broaden student participation in computing, particularly among women, by developing course materials and a community exploring the science of networks?
