of the implications of social responsibility among students. The importance of lifelong learning
as well as professional development is described in the preamble of the Social Issues and
Professional Practice Knowledge Area as well as in both Chapter 2 (Principles) and Chapter 3
(Characteristics of Graduates).
Exemplars of Curricula and Courses
The CS2013 report includes examples of actual fielded courses—from a variety of universities
and colleges—to illustrate how topics in the Knowledge Areas may be covered and combined in
diverse ways. The report also offers examples of CS curricula from a handful of institutions to
show different ways in which a larger collection of courses can be put together to form a
complete curriculum. Importantly, we believe that the presentation of exemplar courses and
curricula promotes greater sharing of educational ideas within the computing community. It also
promotes on-going engagement by encouraging educators to share new courses and curricula
from their own institutions (or other institutions with which they may be familiar) with the
broader community.

community who reviewed and critiqued successive drafts of this document. Indeed, the
development of this report benefited from the input of more than 100 contributors beyond the
Steering Committee. More information about the CS2013 effort is available at the CS2013
