A Comparison of the ACMIC3S and the IEEE/CSE Model Curriculum Subcommittee Recommendations

The year 1977 saw the independent development of two significant documents in the field of computer science and engineering education: "Curriculum Recommendations for the Undergraduate Program in Computer Science: A Report of the ACM Committee on Curriculum in Computer Science,"¹and A Curriculum in Computer Science and Engineering²prepared by the Model Curricula Subcommittee of the IEEE Computer Society. The work leading to the publication of these reports was independent, though the commmittees did maintain liaison.
