Abstract
With over 50 years of Computer Science in existence, a great effort has been spent on designing the best curricula for educating computer scientists (Tucker and Barnes 1991), educating computing professionals, as well as educating users of computers. In spite of this, there has not been in evidence an approach to creating a flexible university environment, which will support a flow between those three basic and different types of computing education.
This paper presents a model of integrated computing education which allows for: obtaining different levels of computing knowledge and proficiency, fast and flexible upgradability of computing skills, adding computing knowledge and skills to knowledge already possessed in another discipline. Finally the model recognises the value of Prior Learning Professional Experience (PLPE) as a factor in computing education.
