Booming enrollments --

INTRODUCTION At some colleges and universities, the current “boom” in our computing classes is exceeding those we have seen before. In addition, there is a general sense that this boom is substantially different than previously in the mid-1980’s and late 1990’s. The computer science (CS) community has several questions about the current growth in enrollments, including: • How are departments responding to the “boom”? • Is the “boom” affecting all levels of the curriculum? • Why are students so eager for our classes? • How will the current “boom” impact diversity in an already demographically homogenous field?
