Computing at the junior/community college: programs and problems

This and the following papers contain different views of the same subject---"Computing Education at the Junior/Community College." It is a topic that has been long neglected, swept under the rug so to speak, in computing circles. It is about time that this topic was fully aired and its vital importance recognized by all engaged in computer education, business, industry and government. There are probably more students and more teachers involved in computer education at the junior/community colleges than at any other level of education.
