Computing curricula 2005: and guide

ABSTRACT

This poster describes a progress to conclusion of the Computing Curricula 2005 (CC2005) report. It demonstrates the status of this work and highlights its salient features. These features include the scope of the computing areas of computer engineering, computer science, information systems, information technology, and software engineering. The poster illustrates the commonalities and differences of these areas and shows some of the outcome expectancies of the graduates from these programs. It also demonstrates a new addition - a "guide" - intended for distribution to high schools throughout the United States and elsewhere. Participants of the poster session would have the opportunity to comment on this guide before it goes public.
