Curricula for Human-Computer Interaction

In August of 1988 the SIGCHI Executive Committee, consisting of Francine Frome, Chair; Phyllis Reisner, Vice Chair; Wendy MacKay, Secretary/Treasurer; and Peter Orbeton, Bulletin Editor, voted to authorize the expenses of a multi-year project to develop a set of curriculum recommendations for education in Human-Computer Interaction. This report presents the work of the Committee assembled to produce those recommendations. Along the way the Curriculum Development Group (CDG) has had several days of face-to-face meetings, a disagreement or two, and more than a moment's frustration with the task which they undertook to grapple with over the period of almost two and one-half years. Volunteers all, the members of the CDG have contributed a considerable amount of time and work to the final production of this report -- in some instances as much as two months worth of working days over the course of the project.
