Production and employment of Ph.D.’s in computer science—1977 and 1978

This brief report summarizes the results of the third and fourth annual surveys on the production and employment of Ph.D.'s in computer science. Responses were solicited from department chairmen, and aggregated for presentation. Results of the previous surveys were reported in [1] and [2]. Tabular results of the two latest surveys are presented in Tables I-VII. Numbered years in the tables refer to calendar years. Comparisons are made with corresponding data from previous years, and discussion is limited to comments on changes and trends.

Production and employment of Ph.D.’s in computer science—1976

Statistics are presented on the production and employment of Ph.D.'s in computer science for the calendar year 1975-76. Data include profiles of graduate students and of faculty at 60 Ph.D.-producing departments as well as a breakdown of degrees granted by specialty areas. Significant trends are noted and comparisons with comparable data gathered for the 1974-75 calendar year are made.

The technology of computer center management: a proposed course for graduate professional programs in computer science or in information systems

McFarlan and Nolan have made a strong case for adding a course on information systems administration to the 13 courses proposed by the ACM Curriculum Committee on Computer Education for Management for Graduate Professional Programs in Information Systems. This paper is a report on a course entitled, “The Technology of Computer Center Management,” which has been offered at Purdue for the past four years. The course is suitable either for graduate professional programs in information systems or for graduate professional programs in computer science.

Experiments with an automated instructional system for numerical methods

A comer system was developed at Purdue University to teach portions of an undergraduate course in numerical methods. Each instructional unit or lesson is divided into three modes of instruction which allow the student to press from a computer-controlled presentation to a student-controlled investigation. The system is designed as a classroom-independent course of study, and has been used for two semesters by students in lieu of conventional classroom instruction. Initial measures of effectiveness, student acceptance, and operational cost are the result of testing the system independent of instructor intervention. The system is operational on a CDC 6500 with teletype terminals.

An undergraduate program in computer science—preliminary recommendations

The Curriculum Committee on Computer Science (C3S) of the Association for Computing Machinery has been considering curriculum problems for approximately three years. During the early part of this period, a number of informal sessions were held with computer people at various national meetings. In the latter part of this three-year period, the Committee has been formally organized and has made a definite effort to arrive at a concrete suggestions for a curriculum.
