Abstract

Evolutionary computation courses have been offered by a wide range of departments/schools to students with many different backgrounds. The paper describes three postgraduate courses with significant evolutionary computation components, offered by the University College of the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy. The courses have been offered as part of the Master of Science in Information Technology programme and Master of Science in Operations Research and Statistics programme. The paper also summarises the result of a recent survey on evolutionary computation teaching conducted over the Internet
