Perspectives on Computer Science Curricula 2023 (CS2023)
Rajendra K. Raj, Brett A. Becker, Michael Goldweber, Pankaj Jalote · 2023
This panel examines Computer Science Curricula 2023 (CS2023) from different perspectives. All panelists serve on the CS2023 steering committee and have an intimate understanding of CS2023. The moderator will lay out its overall vision and structure while panelists will emphasize three major perspectives of CS education: software development fundamentals; systems development; and the increased role of societal, ethical, and professional aspects crucial to a modern CS graduate. Strong interdependencies exist between these perspectives, along with tensions arising from how much can be squeezed into a tight undergraduate CS curriculum. Attendees will take home an understanding of the approach taken by the CS2023 task force, the constraints on curriculum design, and how best to use the CS2023 guidelines to educate the next generation of CS graduates.
