Session 1520 Too Much Material, Too Little Time: The computer education curriculum dilemma Rick Duley, S P Maj, A Boyanich Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western AustraliaAbstractAdding an engineering component into an already overcrowded computer science course tocreate a course suitable for the graduation of a potential professional Software Engineer (SE)reminds people of the problem of getting a quart into a pint pot — there is far too much materialand far too little time. Since Curriculum ’68 was published, designers of computer sciencecurricula have

further work is planned for the future.Cross-subject cooperation between staff concerned with physics and computing scienceteaching has enabled use of equipment and ideas to span both subjects allowing for thedevelopment of a workshop that would have not been possible with the equipment normallyused on the NIM unit. The cost of the material used was minimal. Even the reels of UTPcabling could be reused as it was not cut into pieces only the ends were used to attach toconnection blocks and terminal posts.Bibliography1. Barnett III, B. L.
