Latin and American perspectives on the computer engineering (CE2016) report

ACM and the IEEE Computer Society have released their computer engineering curriculum guidelines in December of 2016. The curricular report, tagged CE2016, reflects current computer engineering education and practice that would be relevant for the coming decade. The report provides some examples on ways to map knowledge units to courses and it addresses expected requirements in science and mathematics. This panel presentation provides an overview of the report and aims to provide perspectives on computer engineering from diverse Latin American communities. The authors plan to engage in discussions with participants that contrast CE2016 with current computer engineering curricula in Latin America. They also provide ways to implement the guidelines within Latin American settings. The authors welcome full audience participation including overall comments with the goal of cultivating robust computer engineering educational models that complement academic and industry communities. The session should prove to be very timely and highly informative.
