The U.S. National Science Foundation is an independent federal agency that supports science and engineering in all 50 states and U.S. territories. NSF was established in 1950 by Congress to promote the progress of science, advance the national health, prosperity and welfare, and secure the national defense.
The Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Computing in Undergraduate Education (IUSE: CUE) program is designed to improve the preparation of a diverse and broad range of students for using computation in various contexts and to address challenging problems. It seeks to reinvent the ways computing is taught to a wide audience in a scalable fashion, placing particular emphasis on increasing participation among groups that are underrepresented and underserved in traditional computing courses and careers.
