Workshop Report Computer Science, Engineering and Data Processing Curricula

Colleges and universities seek to respond to the manpower needs of industry, business, and government through continuing reappraisal of computer education. Reappraisal was the unifying theme at the Fourth Joint College Curricula Workshop in Computer Science, Engineering, and Data Processing. Nearly 100 educators considered course content, model curricula, instructional materials and methods, two-and four- year program articulation, and employer needs. The workshop, held February 2-4, 1978, in Orlando, Florida, also provided sessions dealing with the use of microcomputers and top-down programming methodology in community college computer education.
