IS '97: model curriculum and guidelines for undergraduate degree programs in information systems

Contained in this report are the recommendations for the undergraduate degree program in Computer Science of the Curriculum Committee on Computer Science (C3S) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).The core curriculum common to all computer science undergraduate programs is presented in terms of elementary level topics and courses, and intermediate level courses. Elective courses, used to round out an undergraduate program, are then discussed, and the entire program including the computer science component and other material is presented. Issues related to undergraduate computer science education, such as service courses, supporting areas, continuing education, facilities, staff, and articulation are presented.

Curriculum '78: recommendations for the undergraduate program in computer science— a report of the ACM curriculum committee on computer science

ACM first published recommendations for undergraduate programs in computer science in 1968 in a report called “Curriculum '68.” The report was produced as an activity of the ACM Education Board, which since then has been providing updates to recommendations for computer science programs as well as recommendations for other academic programs in computing.

Computing Curricula 1991

The need for education related to information systems in organizations is discussed, and a curriculum is proposed for graduate professional programs in universities, at the Master's level. Material necessary for such programs is identified, and courses incorporating it are specified. Detailed course descriptions are presented, program organization discussed, and implementation questions considered.

Curriculum 68: Recommendations for academic programs in computer science: a report of the ACM curriculum committee on computer science

When we enter the twenty-first century, computers will have influenced our lives more than any other technology known to civilization. The need for knowledge about computers, computer technology, and the theoretical aspects of computers has grown exponentially. Since its founding in 1947, the Association for Computing Machinery has attempted to address this need for computer knowledge.

The study of computers is an endeavor demanding careful, thorough, and organized development. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive model curriculum for the growing number of institutions offering computer science courses, ACM, in the mid-sixties, established the Curriculum Committee on Computer Science to make recommendations and provide guidelines to institutions. Chaired by Dr. William Atchison of the University of Maryland, this dedicated group of forward-thinking people published preliminary recommendations in September 1965. With financial assistance from the National Science Foundation, they published their final report, "Recommendations for Academic Programs in Computer Science," in Communications of the ACM in March 1968. This curriculum, known as "Curriculum '68," formed the basis of formal computer science study in colleges and universities for the next ten years.

ACM Recommended Curricula for Computer Science and Information Processing Programs in Colleges and Universities, 1968-1981

This report contains recommendations on academic programs in computer science which were developed by the ACM Curriculum Committee on Computer Science. A classification of the subject areas contained in computer science is presented and twenty-two courses in these areas are described. Prerequisites, catolog descriptions, detailed outlines, and annotated bibliographies for these courses are included. Specific recommendations which have evolved from the Committee's 1965 Preliminary Recommendations are given for undergraduate programs. Graduate programs in computer science are discussed, and some recommendations are presented for the development of master's degree programs. Ways of developing guidelines for doctoral programs are discussed, but no specific recommendations are made. The importance of service courses, minors, and continuing education in computer science is emphasized. Attention is given to the organization, staff requirements, computer resources, and other facilities needed to implement computer science educational programs.
