Title
Observations on designing a computer science Curriculum focusing on game programming using testimonials from industry leaders
Abstract
The 2008 ACM/IEEE Curriculum Report section 5.4.2 mentions a “Focus on games or entertainment software” as one method of organizing a computer science curriculum. But outside of using games as a methodology for teaching standard computer science, it is also worth considering whether the techniques taught actually transition to the games industry. This paper will explain the IEEE standard for a computer science curriculum, and then compare those milestones with what the games industry wants using interviews with game professionals who are responsible for hiring decisions at top companies.
