Abstract

The ACM Education Board and the IEEE Computer Society´s Education released Computing Science Curricula CS2013 in December 2013. In this paper, we applied our curriculum analysis method to analyze the Computing Science Curricula CS2013. By comparing the maps and the topic words of previous curricula CS2008 and CS2013, we found some significantly changed Knowledge Units (KUs) and Knowledge Areas (KAs). We also found other significant changes of CS2013 by using the actual courses of the three universities. Moreover, we discovered that the Body of Knowledge (BOK) of CS2013 had higher explainability that those of other previous computing curricula.
