6 | 5/2 | Community College 1 | - Christian Servin, Elizabeth K. Hawthorne, Lori Postner, Cara Tang, and Cindy S. Tucker. 2024. Curricular and Pedagogical Considerations in Computer Science Education: The Role of Community Colleges for the Next Decade. In Proceedings of the 55th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 1 (SIGCSE 2024).

- Summary: Explores the how Community Colleges programs can meet the evolving demands of computer science. Students are prepared to enter the workforce via an applied associates or transfer into a four year university with an AS/AA. Unfortunately, CCs face numerous barriers to equip students with the knowledge needed to transfer seamlessly into universities.
