Introduction to the Impact of GenAI on CS Higher Education
For years, the need for change in computer science education has been signaled by various factors, including industry leaders calling for broader skill sets, the emergence of tools to evaluate learning beyond syntax and correctness, and companies hiring developers without formal computer science degrees.
Despite these signals, the demand for graduates and the comfort of tradition led to warnings being largely ignored, postponing meaningful reform.
However, with the arrival of GenAI, change has become unavoidable, prompting a reevaluation of the field's educational approach.
Timeline of Missed Signals and Evolution of CS Education
A review of the timeline leading up to the arrival of GenAI reveals key phases in the evolution of computer science education, highlighting the missed opportunities for reform.
Recommendations for the Future
The future of higher education in computer science will require adapting to the changes brought about by GenAI, including a focus on broader skill sets and new evaluation methods.
Now, GenAI has arrived, and the long-resisted change has become unavoidable.
