Introduction: The Computing in Context Project and CIC15

The NSF-funded project titled "Computing in Context" (DUE-1141209) aims to develop and evaluate new teaching materials and pedagogies that promote students' active learning in four inter-disciplinary areas of relevance to computing. We report progress and current status of the four areas of the CIC project, and introduce the 2015 NSF Workshop on Curricular Development for Computing in Context (CIC15). The workshop focuses on the area of intelligence and security informatics, and is a venue for computing scholars to present their works on developing, evaluating, and disseminating curricular materials in this area.
