The final report of the Task Force on the Core of Computer Science presents a new intellectual framework for the discipline of computing and a new basis for computing curricula. This report has been endorsed and approved for release by the ACM Education Board.
This report proposes developing a rigorous undergraduate curriculum for a BA.-degree program in computer science. The curriculum is intended as a model not only for high-quality undergraduate colleges and universities, hut also for larger universities with strong computer science programs in a liberal arts setting.
ACM first published recommendations for undergraduate programs in computer science in 1968 in a report called “Curriculum '68.” The report was produced as an activity of the ACM Education Board, which since then has been providing updates to recommendations for computer science programs as well as recommendations for other academic programs in computing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
