Education in Computing - Computing in Education

The theme of this presentation which is entitled'Education in Computing & Computing in Education'is certainly of great importance in the present climate characterized on the one hand by availability of highly efficient hardware, low-cost procedures and environments which are of great interest also as far as education is concerned. Within this topic it is of primary importance to ask oneself the question'To learn architecture with computers must students learn computers?', and should the answer be'yes', to ask'To what extent? What level of complexity needs to be attained in order to realize this aim? What resources need to be dedicated to the learning of computer science? Should deep involvement be necessary, at what point should we refer to a computer scientist?'In an attempt to answer these questions, it is useful to examine the state of the art within computer science vs. engineering and computer science vs. education
