ABSTRACT

Association for Computing Machinery with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or AIS regularly develop new undergraduate curricular guidelines in five programmatic areas: computer engineering, computer science, information systems, information technology, and software engineering. Subdisciplines within computing and computational science require varying amounts of discrete mathematics, continuous mathematics, probability, statistics, and other areas of mathematics. The computing faculty may be considering changes in its curriculum or courses. In short, both computing and mathematics departments may consider each other as client departments, so each have a clear interest in meeting needs of the other's students. Through dialog, computing faculty can determine how well those needs are being met–what goals and interests are well supported, and what gaps and deficiencies remain. And, as a side effect of dialog with faculty throughout a school, computing faculty may be able to identify what possibilities might be available for computing students to help with computing-related needs with other faculty.
