History in the computer science curriculum
John A. N. Lee · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1996
IFIP Working Group 9.7 (History of Computing) is charged with not only encouraging the preservation of computer artifacts, the recording of the memoirs of pioneers, and the analysis of the downstream impact of computer innovations, but also on the development of educational modules on the history of computing. This paper presents an initial report on the study of the history of computing and informatics and preliminary proposals for the inclusion of aspects of the history of computing and informatics in the curriculum of university and college students.
