Development of the model curriculum for computer engineering

The field of computer engineering has emerged as one of the principal areas of study throughout the world, making the subject area critical in the development of new computer systems, devices, and products. A joint task force of the IEEE computer society and the ACM has recently published a report on its three-year study of computing curricula for computer engineering (CCCE). This paper presents a summary of the CCCE report. It will describe the elements constituting computer engineering, identify the process that has resulted in the publication of the computer engineering report, and give an overview of the final publication.
