Abstract

This paper provides an overview of work being done in the EntryPoint project, which is examining the first course work in computing degrees. A key goal of this project is to move away from the traditional CS1/CS2 programming courses as the start of a computing degree. In addition, the project team is looking at how these ideas might be extended to BSSE degree programs. As such, this paper will discuss implications of this approach for SE.
