Debugging Our Computer Science Programs: Research, Evaluation, and Recommendations for Improving Our Computer Science and Information Technology Academic Programs

What could academia learn by studying our current software development teams already working professionally in corporate software engineering and Information Technology companies? What could academia learn from our recent college and university Computer Science graduates? Could academia use this information to identify gaps and provide constructive feedback to our colleges and universities to improve the quality of our education programs? This action research project provided research data to answer these questions. This book outlines research that was completed to debug our Computer Science and Information technology programs and also reflects how one major U.S. University has solved this problem.
