Computing Curricula 2020
CC Task Force
Abstract
a task force of fifty people from twenty countries, with a fifteen-member steering committee carrying \nthe main operational responsibilities, has examined undergraduate curriculum guidelines, and has referred to the \ncomputing professions and other supporting information, as necessary. This report does not address graduate \ncomputing education or pre-baccalaureate education, although it occasionally mentions these areas. \nThis CC2020 report encompasses most of the themes contained in its predecessor. However, the changing dynamics \nof computing, computing education research, and changes in the workplace have resulted in many new “add-ons” and \nfeatures that did not appear in the earlier report. Some of these additions include the following. \n• Focusing on competency \n• Transitioning from knowledge-based learning to competency-based learning \n• Expanding curricular disciplines to include cybersecurity as well as data science \n• Expanding curricular and competency diagrams and visualizations \n• Establishing an interactive website that will bring CC2020 results to public use \n• Charting a framework for future computing curricular activities \nThe CC2020 report covers undergraduate programs in computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, \ninformation systems, information technology, software engineering, and data science (under development.)
