Abstract：

Fulfilling the “Green Silicon Island” is our country’s vision. With the need of information technology professionals, there are more universities providing computer science programs for freshmen and more freshmen majoring in computer science even if some freshmen know little about computer science education or computing curricula. The computing curricula not only affect the quality of information technology professionals but also influence the development of our country. In this essay, we introduced the Computing Curricula 2001(CC2001) recommended by IEEE and ACM. Second, we took some computer science bachelor programs in USA and Taiwanese universities for examples, and compared their characteristics of curricula. Finally, we analyzed the influences of the CC2001 and American computer science bachelor programs on Taiwan programs; this analysis is useful for the faculties of universities and for information technology businesses.
