摘要：Efforts to define IT curriculum and accreditation standards began at the first Conference on Information
Technology Curriculum (CITC-1) in December 2001, which included representatives
from 15 Information Technology (IT) programs at four-year schools in the United States, and representatives
from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute for Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET). Since this conference, this work has been ongoing at CITC-2 (April 2002), CITC-3
(September 2002), and CITC-4 (October 2003), and through committee work which has progressed
between these conferences. The three main thrusts of this work have been to define standards
for accreditation of IT programs, to define a model curriculum for IT programs, and to distinguish
IT programs from the most closely-related academic programs, such as Information Systems
and Computer Science. Membership in SIGITE (Special Interest Group on Information
Technology Education) of the ACM is now over 300 members and represents most 4-year IT
programs and several 2-year IT programs in the United States; the outcome of these three main
thrusts should therefore be of wide interest to all those in related programs or at institutions considering
forming a similar program. This paper gives some of the details of the results of the work
on these three thrusts.
