  • Abstract
    This WIP describes an effort to create a better starting course sequence for computing degrees. This effort, the entrypoint project, focuses primarily on the first two years of the undergraduate program. As such, a key aspect of the effort relates to the traditional introductory programming sequence, and an attempt to move beyond that approach. A three dimensional model, CAP (content, application, and process), is used to organize the discussion of introductory courses.
