Abstract
A course which will give students some practical experience with large programming problems is described, The course combines the material from five separate courses from Curriculum 68. The material is presented in conjunction with a major programming project which is the unifying ingredient of the course. The project provides the student with immediate and realistic applications of the ideas and topics presented in the course.

A community/junior college view of curriculum '68
SIGCSE '73: Proceedings of the third SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science educationQ: What is a junior or community college?
A: A college that offers two years of a four year undergraduate degree.
Based on such an answer it would be assumed that the difference between a four-year and a two-year college is just that—one offers four ...
Introducing object-oriented programming into the computer science curriculum
In recent years, object-oriented programming languages and object-oriented program design have become increasingly popular. Dialects of many popular programming languages are now available which support the major concepts of object-oriented programming; ...
