Dear Colleagues,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am working on an article and I would like to learn about history of computing classes, particularly at the undergraduate level. Does anyone have details on when and where these kinds of courses were first offered? Are there any that are particularly
well-known for whatever reason?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you have a syllabus from a particular course, especially before 2005, I would greatly appreciate a copy. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">On- or off-list replies are welcome.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
