It presents computer science as a cutting-edge technological discipline that empowers them to solve problems of personal interest (socially relevant with a "little s"), as well as problems that are important to society at large (socially relevant with a "capital s").
SRC emphasizes the use of computation for solving problems of personal and societal interest to students.
Courses in this new framework help students identify and model tasks, and design and implement computational solutions that show deep understanding of their embedding in the real world.
At the very least, SRC offers interesting examples to illustrate foundational concepts in computer science.
By emphasizing problem-solving, and by giving students practice in recognizing needs and engineering solutions to them via computation, SRC at its finest promises to create a more entrepreneurial, as well as a more broadly educated computer scientist.
