Computing Curricula

The ground realities of India and its CS higher education pose unique challenges. For the past year and half, an effort has been on to develop a model curriculum focused on a few sample courses. Towards this end, the current workshop focuses on a hands on approach towards an ACM-IEEE CS2015 style curriculum development that is relevant to the Indian context.

The first session of the workshop was conducted by Mr.Madhavan Mukund (Dean of Studies and a professor of Computer Science at Chennai Mathematical Institute) .He is also the President and Member of Indian Association for Research in Computing Science and the President of Association for Computing Machinery India Council.The second session was delivered by Abhijat Vichare (fellow at the Persistent Computing Institute, Persistent Systems Ltd.). He has worked in the GCC system internals at IIT Bombay, and has been a faculty at the CS Department, University of Pune. These initial efforts have developed the basic framework and noted a number of potential pitfalls in this adaptation process. The key next step is to involve our academia into the process.
