Sharing introductory programming curriculum across disciplines
Dianne P. Bills, Roxanne L. Canosa · 2007
Originally there was one computing curriculum, computer science, which provided a "one-size-fits-all" education in programming and computing in general. Today, computing education has diverged into an array of sub-discipline areas as educators try to meet the changing computing needs of business and industry. Information technology, software engineering, computer engineering, and information systems have emerged from computer science as distinct computing disciplines. Plus, additional "micro-disciplines" are quickly emerging: games and networking from information technology, for example.
