Academic programs in computing at institutions of higher education began in the mid-1950s under pressure from early users of computing equipment, or from computing center staff deluged with questions about the use of these new devices. Initially, the "educational program" might have consisted only of a short noncredit course given by the computing center staff. Such a course mainly emphasized hardware characteristics, binary arithmetic, and how to program a problem for computer solution (usually in machine or assembly language see MACHINE AND ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING). At times, some of the instructional material was absorbed into an existing course in mathematics or engineering, generally in three or four lectures. However, with the rapid growth of broadly-based university computing installations during the 1960-1965 period, and with the growth of an organized body of knowledge, it became necessary to establish more formal educational programs in computing.
