Examples of Computing in Other Disciplines

5th Workshop at Virginia Tech

The 5th LIKES workshop was hosted by Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA, November 12-13, 2009. We began with a reception the night before for those who arrived early.

The workshop title “Curricular Guidelines Connecting Computing with Other Disciplines” reflects our long-term aim to prepare curricular guidelines, possibly to be published by ACM and IEEE-CS, so that computing related courses or course modules can help promote interdisciplinary education and collaboration.

We have attached LIKESextension.pdf so that attendees know about developing curricular guidelines.
