  abstract =     "Too often, students in undergraduate computer science
                 programs come to equate computer science with the
                 ``nuts and bolts'' of the field---programming, data
                 structures, algorithms, operating systems, programming
                 languages and so forth. If we are to attract students
                 to computer science and produce graduates who will
                 excel in the profession, we must broaden our students'
                 perspective on our discipline. In this paper, we
                 examine an initiative that seeks to broaden the
                 undergraduate computer science experience by
                 introducing three new elements into the curriculum: a
                 first-year experience that focuses on the challenges of
                 computer science, a fourth-year experience that focuses
                 on the initial stages of the software design process,
                 and a student portfolio that unifies the existing
                 curriculum, broadens its content, and provides us with
                 a mechanism for assessing the growth of our students'
                 technical and non-technical skills.",
