Description
Summary:We present a “state of the course” report on a core computer science topic: Computer Organization & Architecture. Our report is based on a survey of over 80 faculty, at colleges and universities around the world, who teach this topic. Based on the responses in the survey, we present our conclusions on the confidence levels of faculty in teaching various core components of the topic. We will present our results in the context of the identified core body of knowledge as defined in the Curriculum 2001. These conclusions can be of help to experts who are willing to provide training and/or pedagogical materials in order to assist those with low confidence levels.
