Abstract :
Today, computer science graduates are well-sought by employers. A computer science education will furnish you with many skills that may be applied to a number of careers. However, as always, there are portions of the traditional curriculum that can be improved. This paper summarizes and justifies the author´s opinions on how computer science curricula may evolve. She hopes to continue discussions in this area throughout her career, because discussing these issues with other interested professionals is the way to find the best path
