Given the importance of human resource management skills both in management education and business in general, an empirical review of undergraduate human resource (HR) curricula and programs is needed. In this study, the authors provide an investigative analysis of the content taught across HR programs in the U.S. and the context in which HR programs operate. Specifically, data across 179 undergraduate “SHRM-aligned” HR programs were collected and analyzed to identify common as well as unique content and contextual attributes at the university, business school, and program levels. Against the backdrop of the study's findings, the authors step back and purposefully comment on how they believe HR education can best be moved forward. In total, this study seeks to inform stakeholders in HR education through a clearer picture of the current and potential future states of HR curricula within U.S.-based undergraduate management programs.

Experiences Of Women

While the experiences of women in computer science (CS) are well documented (Cohoon, 2001, 2002; Computing Research Association, 2002; Margolis & Fisher, 2001), information technology is a relatively new discipline (Denning, 2001; Mitchell, 2002) and does not enjoy the same level or scope of inquiry. This study focuses on women in undergraduate IT programs and attempts to identify the factors involved in the attrition of women from these programs. In Phase 1 of this study, all freshman IT and CS women as well as a random sample of IT men at an eastern university (15,000 students) were interviewed and asked about their experiences in the IT program. These interviews were qualitatively analyzed, and the results are currently being used to develop a national survey of women in undergraduate IT programs. The primary research question of this study is, What factors are most influential in the decision of female students in IT undergraduate programs to enter these programs, and, where applicable, what factors most influence their decision to leave the programs during their first year of study?

As Camp showed in her widely cited papers on the “incredible shrinking pipeline” (Camp, 1997; Camp, Miller, & Davies, 2000), women have continuously lagged behind men in earning Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees in computer science (CS) at four-year post-secondary U.S. institutions, despite the fact that the percentage of women earning CS degrees has kept pace with trends in the total number of CS degree recipients. This pattern is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, which are based on data from the National Center for Education Statistics (National Center for Education Statistics, 2003, Table 282). Our goal is to summarize the proposed causes of, and solutions for, female attrition at the undergraduate level. In times like the present, when the U.S. is experiencing an overall decline in enrollment in undergraduate CS programs (Zweben, 2005), it becomes increasingly important to retain good students—both men and women.

The textbook covers the theoretical and practical foundations of the computer science course. The content of the book, examples and tasks are aimed at training a specialist with a modern set of competencies in the field of computer science and information and communication technologies. The textbook has an applied orientation and meets the requirements of the Federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation. For students of higher educational institutions studying undergraduate programs, it will also be useful for students of secondary vocational education institutions, teachers, and people who want to study computer science independently.
