Abstract

We report results from the sixth survey of departments offering degree programs accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET). The goal of this survey is to provide structured, up-to-date information in terms of demographics and statistics related to curricula, faculty, and students in accredited undergraduate computer science degree programs. The tables listed in this paper, present summarized results from the survey collected in the winter of 2001-2002. Whenever relevant, data collected over the past six survey years are shown to identify apparent trends.
