Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a summary of the results of a recently conducted electronic survey. This empirical investigation used a nationwide electronic mail questionnaire sent to a random sampling of colleges. The intent of the investigation was to study trends in CS1, primarily, and CS2, secondarily. The survey contained questions concerning course content, language, hardware, closed structured laboratories, and curriculum model. Results were tabulated to detect trends and to learn whether accredited programs and non-accredited programs are providing statistically significant different educational experiences.
