Common Ground Subjects
The Common Ground for Computing Education consists of broadly-applicable computing classes and curricula for undergraduate and graduate students. Each department or program assesses whether such collaborative classes and curricula make sense for their educational objectives. The Common Ground helps identify potential collaborations, and provides support to departments and programs that find these collaborations beneficial.
Subjects in the Common Ground are identified by “.C” in the subject number. Each course typically has two or more departmental numbers that share the same number after the “C”. For example, Introduction to Computational Science and Engineering is listed under 9.C20, 16.C20, 18.C20, and CSE.C20, showing that four departments (9, 16, 18, and CSE) are collaborating to teach the same subject (C20).
