The nppro~ch t~ken to teach the first undergraduate course in computer science varies a gre~t deal.The one that places major emphasis on the teaching of a programming language is still widely used.We find many drawbacks with this approach.In our opinion, the discussion of introductory computer concepts and problem-solving techniques should precede the coverage of the syntax of a programming language.Tt is also our belief that basic data structure concepts should be presented in the first course and discussed independently of any particular programming language considerations. Finally, we don't subscribe to the view that teaching of programming styles should be delayed until later courses.With these ideas in view, we present in this paper the outline of a one-year beginning course for the computer science undergraduate degree program.© 1981 ACM 0-89791-036-2/81/0200/0046 $00.75The set of required courses contain the following core courses:COMS 150

The state has sufficient funds to invest in education. However, schools in some remote areas still do not have enough funds to set up offline teaching laboratories. In addition, the lack of experimental resources in the school also led to the failure of some teaching courses [1]. Many schools spend a lot of effort to build computer-based control laboratories. Even many schools have developed control technology test-bed in order to save cost. However, due to the large volume of the test bed, its handling is very inconvenient. In order to solve the above problems, experts propose to establish an electronic laboratory in the network. In order to help the experimental courses of mechanical and electrical majors in some schools go smoothly, the research and development of the experimental system of computer control technology based on network has been in progress. This paper briefly introduces the design scheme of network control experiment system and the operation platform of software. In the end, the problems that should be paid attention to in the operation of the system are also put forward.
