Abstract
- The article discusses the trend of falling enrollment in computer science (CS) courses in Canada's higher education system, examining what university educators can do to invigorate, rejuvenate, and renew the CS discipline in the country. Anticipated retirement rates between 2013 through 2018 in the industry cause some to be concerned that Canada will be able to maintain the competitive nature of its information and communication technology sector (ICT). Also discussed is the renewal of the ICT work force in Canada and interviews with university CS department chairs and senior university officials.
