Introductory computer science courses

William G. Bulgren, Gregory F. Wetzel · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1982

Many colleges and universities offer an introductory computer science course based on a specific programming language. The Department of Computer Science at the University of Kansas has recently reorganized its introductory computer science course to include such topics as algorithms, top-down algorithmic design, elementary programming techniques, and introduction to time-sharing. Besides the discussion of this transition, the paper discusses a questionaire that was developed and utilized during this transition. It is hoped that others will benefit from our experiences.

Computer lab in maths courses

G.L. de la Barra, Angel Urbina, M.L. de la Barra · 2003

During 1996-98 a special Program in Mathematics oriented to engineering students was developed at UTFSM. Description and final results of this Program were reported on FIE 98-99. As a practical application of this Program we have organized a special computer lab with 12 personal computers oriented to mathematical teaching, as an important complementary didactic component in maths courses given in a lecture format. We think that this lab size could foster interactivity and facilitate a more personalized work with the students. We have adapted a special software related to subjects of calculus and based on MATHEMATICA.

WOMEN IN COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES

Silvia Diamantino Ferreira de Lima, Cristiano Maciel, Leihge Roselle Rondon Pereira · Conhecimento & Diversidade · 2026

The underrepresentation of women in Computer Science and STEM courses constitutes a global challenge that demands multidimensional analysis. This article presents a mixed-methods approach to systematic literature review (SLR), analyzing 27 publications (2020-2024) on the entry and retention of women in Computer Science courses in national and international contexts, as well as on institutional initiatives that contribute to the success of female students. The research identified three central dimensions: (1) motivating factors for entry (personal interest, social influences, institutional experiences); (2) structural barriers to retention (lack of mentoring, social isolation, self-efficacy deficit, absence of affirmative action policies); (3) emerging institutional initiatives (welcoming programs, inclusive classes, innovative teaching resources). The results show that barriers predominate in the social and institutional dimensions, suggesting that public and institutional policies are essential to promote gender equity in the field. This study contributes to the debate on strategic actions capable of increasing the participation of women in STEM careers, especially in Computer Science courses, which are the focus of this study.

Automating introductory computer science courses

Jürg Nievergelt, Edward M. Reingold · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1973

This paper describes a project we have recently started for automating introductory computer science courses. Why should these courses be automated? At the University of Illinois there are currently about 2000 students per semester taking various introductory programming courses: engineers, social scientists, teachers, physical scientists, computer science majors, etc., each group having its own particular needs. These courses are taught in sections of about 100 students each, with an additional hour of discussion in groups of about 20 students. In our experience it is very difficult to organize these courses in such a way that students both learn something and are happy with the material presented. The main difficulty seems to come from the fact that a beginning programmer needs a lot of individual help, and this cannot be provided in large sections. We are now convinced that these courses cannot be improved within the current setup, and since enrollments in these courses are increasing, the situation is bound to grow worse unless something new is tried. We assume that the situation we have described is typical of many large universities.

Software Courses in Computer Engineering

Dick Blandford, Christopher C Miller · 2018

There are approximately 250 ABET 1 accredited computer engineering programs in the U.S. Most of these were developed as a specialty out of existing electrical engineering programs. Some developed from computer science programs and some developed as a combination of computer science and electrical engineering in one department. As a result there is some significant variance between the amount of hardware and software that computer engineering programs require.

Survey of computer science courses

Working Party 7 · ITNOW · 1967

Abstract A comparison of courses leading to the whole or a substantial part of a first or higher degree in computer science is presented for the guidance of career masters, students, colleges and anyone wishing to find out the current national position concerning the education of computer scientists.
