Abstract

The SIGCHI curricula report published in 1992 [ACM 1992] describes four proposed courses in HCI and two model curricula for HCI. This paper critiques the curricula report's recommendations as they pertain to an undergraduate information systems course and to the structure of a recently revised curriculum in Computer Information Systems. The evaluation found that the curricula report is useful as an initial set of curriculum guidelines, but that customization of its recommendations is needed to satisfy individual program, college, and university objectives. Suggestions for improvements to the curricula report and advice to information systems curriculum developers are listed.
