The Compiler Course in Today's Curriculum: Three Strategies

摘要

The broadening of computer science education has called into question the roles of many traditional core courses. In order to remain viable, courses such as compiler construction must provide a coherent view of their subject matter that fits with the rest of the institution's curriculum. Three strategies have evolved for this course. As described in this paper, each strategy provides a model that a professor can use to design an appropriate course for their situation.
