- Description
- This panel presents varying global perspectives on the role of community colleges and 2- or 3-year technical schools (collectively called junior colleges here) in computing education. In some countries, students interested in a career in computing can obtain a 2- or 3-year degree instead of, or as a precursor to, a traditional Bachelor's degree. With representatives from five different countries and four different continents, the panel discusses the variety of pathways in computing education around the world, and in particular the role of community colleges and 2- or 3-year technical schools in these pathways.
