Computer Degree Program Review. State University System of Florida.
Ramamoorthy, C. V.; Spaniol, Roland D.
At the present time, Florida ranks fourth among the states in volume of high-technology industry, which includes information processing and computer-oriented activity. For this reason, a statewide review of computer science programs underway at the nine campuses of the State University System (SUS) of Florida was recently conducted. This report summarizes the findings of this review. It is the result of interviews with students, alumni, employing officials, community college personnel, and faculty and administrators concerned with the various SUS computer science programs. Twelve generic issues concerning SUS computer science programs were formulated in the study. These statewide issues were: (1) a computer science review conducted in 1978-79; (2) new programs and accreditation of programs; (3) the supply and demand of students; (4) the supply and demand of faculty; (5) equipment; (6) professional activity, and currentness of curriculum; (7) relationships with industry; (8) teacher and continuing education; (9) computing across the curriculum; (10) articulation/program direction; (11) branch campuses; and (12) funding. Included are institutional reports from each of the nine SUS campuses. (TW)
