Does anyone know of any examples where software carpentry type skills have been integrated into an undergraduate science curriculum? It seems to me that the various skills taught in software carpentry could be integrated into an undergraduate science curriculum if done correctly, given the prevalence of data manipulations that are frequently performed in undergraduate science labs (chemistry titrations / conversions, physics equation fitting, biology number manipulations), at least in my experience over 10 years ago. I don't imagine that things have changed, and have likely gotten worse.
I know that Jenny Bryan is integrating a lot of this stuff into her advanced stats class (which is awesome), but the more I think about it, it seems that it would be useful to introduce things earlier rather than later. I would be very appreciative if anyone has any specific examples from their own or others teaching.
