ABSTRACT
Under the auspices of the ACM Education Board, the Committee for Computing Education in Community Colleges (CCECC) is updating the 2009 ACM associate-degree curricular guidance in computer science with inclusion of contemporary cybersecurity concepts. The CCECC convened a task force of community college educators to develop the initial draft of the updated guidance, called StrawDog, using CS2013 as a starting point. CS2013 includes a new knowledge unit on information assurance and security. To inform the work, a survey on CS2013 foundational knowledge deemed appropriate for the first two years of a computer science (CS) education was administered to a global audience of CS educators. Preliminary survey results are presented for feedback and critique by the international community.
