Computer Games and Traditional CS Courses
Posted on Nov 25, 2009 under Main |drroman22 writes “Schools are working to put real-world relevance into computer science education by integrating video game development into traditional CS courses. Quoting: ‘Many CS educators recognized and took advantage of younger generations’ familiarity and interests for computer video games and integrate related contents into their introductory programming courses.

Based on these results, it is well recognized that integrating computer gaming into CS1 and CS2 (CS1/2) courses, the first programming courses students encounter, is a promising strategy for recruiting and retaining potential students.” While a focus on games may help stir interest, it seems as though game development studios are as yet unimpressed by most game-related college courses. To those who have taken such courses or considered hiring those who have: what has your experience been?
