Computing Curricula 1991 - a review
Andrew James McGettrick · ITNOW · 1991
Abstract Over the years, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) have produced circular documents[1,2,3]. Traditionally, computer science departments have not adopted these slavishly but have used them as a yardstick against which to measure their own courses and development; they have provided a focus for discussion and debate on curricular issues, so leading to further refinement and eventual development. In one sense ACM/IEEE, 1991[4], hereafter referred to as Curriculum 1991, is the latest in this series and is published in that spirit. But there are important breaks with tradition.
