Abstract
The Computing Curricula 2020 (CC2020) project consists of a task force of thirty-eight academic, industry, and government professionals representing sixteen countries from six continents. The project plans to provide a vision for the future of computing and to contextualize those guidelines through competency-based educational principles. An important part of the project is the educational landscape of computing as it exists now and in the future in Latin America, which has diverse computing programs, often in engineering contexts. This panel seeks to provide an array of perspectives concerning undergraduate computing degree programs in the region. Outcomes of the panel discussion include the attainment of greater insight on current situation in Latin America, the possible changes that may occur in the future, and a basis of understanding to become part of the CC2020 project. The panelists plan to present different viewpoints on ways their countries structure computing programs. Audience involvement and panelist interactions promise to generate a shared understanding of undergraduate computing programs in the Latin American region.
