The Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC) is a nonprofit organization divided into ten regions that roughly match geographical areas in the United States. The purpose of the consortium[2] is to: "promote, support and improve computing curricula in colleges and universities; encompass regional constituencies devoted to this purpose; and promote a national liaison among local, regional and national organizations devoted to this purpose." Predominantly these colleges and universities are oriented toward teaching, rather than research.
Regions
[edit]CCSC regions include:
- Central Plains
- Eastern
- Midsouth
- Midwest
- Northeastern
- Northwestern
- Rocky Mountain
- South Central
- Southeastern
- Southwestern
Conferences
[edit]Conferences are typically held annually by region, and include presentation of peer-reviewed papers, as well as student papers, posters, and programming contests, workshops, and special sessions for innovative assignments and approaches in the area of computer science technology and education.[3][4][5]
Journal
[edit]CCSC publishes the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges,[6] containing the proceedings of each annual regional conference. The journal is distributed to approximately 600 faculty members from 350 colleges and universities.[7]
