Computer Science Curricula 2023

Abstract

The curricular guidelines build towards the Characteristics of Graduates enumerated in the report and take into consideration the Challenges and Opportunities for Computer Science Education identified in the report. The guidelines have been supplemented with articles on Pedagogical Considerations and Curricular Practices. The process used by the CS2023 task force has been collaborative (over ninety task force members), international (six continents), data-driven (five large- and over seventy small-scale surveys) and transparent (csed.acm.org). Community engagement included numerous conference panels and presentations along with regular postings to over a dozen ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) mailing lists and the full membership of AAAI. The iterative process has included at least two review and revision cycles for most of the knowledge areas. The resulting curricular guidelines are the culmination of three years of effort using the outlined Principles and Processes.
