Description: In this colloquium we hope to openly discuss the current course structure in the introductory Computer Science courses designed to provide non-majors (with some emphasis on engineering majors) with the proper background that will enable engineering graduates to be prepared for their careers where they face a technical world that increasingly includes both using computers as tools and the ability to program using modern programming languages and interfaces. After a few introductory comments by Professors Lauer and Kinicki, the colloquium will proceed as an open discussion on how the CS Department curriculum might be adjusted to better serve WPI engineering students.
