interdisciplinary application tracks in an undergraduate computer science curriculum
The Computer Science Department at Winona State University revised its curriculum to include an interdisciplinary approach adapted to the study of computer science. The new curriculum consists of a traditional Computer Science option and an Applied Computer Science option consisting of four separate tracks, namely: bioinformatics, computer information systems, geographic information technology, and human computer interaction. This paper describes the design strategy and implementation plan as well as the content of our multi-track Applied Computer Science curriculum.
