ACM/IEEE-CS Computer Science Curricula 2013 (CS2013) Final Report

I was pleased and honored to be a part of the committee that developed this document over a period of several years. If you are interested in undergraduate computer science education this is a must read.


We are delighted to announce the release of the ACM/IEEE-CS Computer Science Curricula 2013 (CS2013) Final Report. The report is available at the CS2013 website (http://cs2013.org) or directly at:

http://cs2013.org/final-draft/CS2013-final-report.pdf

(The report will also soon be posted at the ACM website as well as at doi.org.)

The CS2013 Final Report contains guidance for undergraduate programs in computer science, including a revised Body of Knowledge, over 80 course exemplars (showing how the CS2013 Body of Knowledge may be covered in a variety of actual fielded courses), and 5 full curricular exemplars from a variety of educational institutions. The report also contains discussions of characteristics of CS graduates, design dimensions in introductory courses, and institutional challenges in CS programs, among other topics. The report has been endorsed by both the ACM and IEEE-Computer Society. We hope you find it useful.
