What Do Scientists and Engineers Need to Know About Computer Science?
As computational science and engineering becomes more common, it becomes important to ask what should all scientists and engineers know about computer science to be effective.
Computer Science Left out of National Academies Report
The new draft framework from the National Research Council on "science, engineering, and technology" makes no mention of computer science.
Software Development and Crunch Time; and More
For software developers, crunch time is a period prior to a major product milestone when team members are asked to put in extra effort to get a product finished by a specific delivery date. Why do developers put up with it?
The Chaos of the Internet as an External Brain; and More
From the early days of computers, people have speculated that computers would be used to supplement our intelligence. In the last decades, most of the work toward this dream has been in the form of trying to build artificial intelligence.

The Complicated Issues of Computing Education in Qatar
The ACM Education Board visited Qatar at the beginning of May. At Qatar University, 70% of the students in CS are women, and those we met are hungry to produce innovative technology. But are there jobs for them?
How to Make Progress in Computing Education
Improving the research base for computing education requires securing competitive funding commitments.
Connecting Computing Education Research to Practice
The SIGCSE 2010 keynotes by Sally Fincher and Carl Weiman suggest how we connect research to changing practice. It's complicated! It's enculturation.
Cleaving Computer Science Into New Degrees
Computer science is becoming too broad to fit under the tyranny of a single bachelors degree. Cleaving the BS in CS into new degrees is a natural growth path.
