Computer science educators across the nation are struggling to keep abreast of advances in research, technology, and pedagogy. Knowledge of such advances is critical in developing and maintaining relevant curricula. Access to information related to degree programs, curricula, faculty, and students will be extremely useful in planning and implementing course and curriculum developments. Currently, there is no organized communication among institutions on issues related to curricula, pedagogy, or infrastructure. Consequently, due to lack of information sharing, many departments "reinvent the wheel" by working to solve problems already addressed by others or working to solve problems without access to supporting information. The primary goal of this project is to provide an easily accessible information resource for departments offering undergraduate computer science degree programs. This resource will (a) facilitate the sharing and communication of information among departments, (b) provide information that can be used to monitor, compare, and assess programs in terms of curriculum issues, faculty composition, faculty work loads, student enrollment, and graduation rates, and (c) provide supporting information to be used in planning and implementing course and curriculum developments and overall program enhancements.

全国各地的计算机科学教育工作者都在努力跟上研究、技术和教学的进步。 了解这些进展对于开发和维护相关课程至关重要。 获取与学位项目、课程、教师和学生相关的信息对于规划和实施课程和课程开发非常有用。 目前，各机构之间还没有就课程、教学法或基础设施相关问题进行有组织的沟通。 因此，由于缺乏信息共享，许多部门通过努力解决其他部门已经解决的问题或在无法获得支持信息的情况下努力解决问题来“重新发明轮子”。 该项目的主要目标是为提供本科计算机科学学位课程的院系提供易于访问的信息资源。 该资源将（a）促进院系之间的信息共享和交流，（b）提供可用于在课程问题、教师构成、教师工作量、学生入学率和毕业率方面监测、比较和评估项目的信息，以及（c）提供用于规划和实施课程和课程开发以及整体项目增强的支持信息。
