IT Program Resources
An important function of the IAB is to assist the department with accreditation activities. The ACM's Special Interest Group for IT Education (SIGITE) spearheaded an effort to define program standards and criteria for IT programs. These were submitted to the Computing Education Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET). These standards are quite new and are still under review. For more information about these standards, you may visit the ABET or SIGITE websites. For your convenience, the latest known documents are also available for download from this site:
Available documents
- Criteria for Accrediting Computing Programs in 2005-06 evaluation cycle (downloaded from ABET's website on 2/16/05). The proposed program criteria for Information Technology programs is on pages 24-25.
- Computing Curricula 2004 (downloaded from ACM's website on 2/16/05). This document compares and contrasts the various degree programs that are associated with computing.
- IT Program Criteria (downloaded from SIGITE's website on 2/16/05). This document defines IT Program Criteria to be used by ABET when evaluating IT programs.
- IT Program Standards (downloaded from SIGITE's website on 2/16/05). This document defines IT Program Standards used by ABET when defining IT programs.
- Computing Curricula - IT Volume (downloaded from SIGITE's website on 11/14/05). This large document describes various computing curricula. (Earlier version downloaded 2/16/05: Computing Curricula - IT Volume)
- IT Definitions (downloaded from SIGITE's website on 2/16/05). This brief document describes IT program goals and outcomes.
- IT Body of Knowledge (downloaded from SIGITE's website on 11/14/05). This brief document lists (by category) various computing courses that comprise the IT body of knowledge. (Earlier version downloaded 2/16/05: IT Body of Knowledge)
- New Formulas for America's Workforce: Girls in Science and Engineering This one-of-a-kind resource was published by NSF in late 2003 to summarize the methodology and results from 211 projects that sought to increase the participation of girls in STEM areas. It's a wonderful resource for anyone who is concerned about the growing gender gap in IT and wants to find solutions. Although it is directed at girls and young women, the ideas that are documented apply to everyone.
