Abstract

The present paper describes the process of changing the curriculum of the computer science degree in the college of science of the UAE University. This process was initiated to keep up with the fast pace of development in the computer science discipline. The process of changing the curriculum involved two tasks. The first task was to construct new core and selective courses, while the second task involved reviewing the existing courses to incorporate into their contents the recent developments in the computer science discipline. During this process, the department searched several computing curricula, in particular, the model of the computing curricula CC2001 of the ACM and IEEE/CS, which it used as a guiding reference.
