An Information Systems Perspective of the SIGCHI Curricula Ted J. Strickland, Jr. Abstract The SIGCHI curricula report published in 1992 [ACM 1992] describes four proposed courses in HCI and two model curricula for HCI. This paper critiques the curricula report's recommendations as they pertain to an undergraduate information systems course and to the structure of a recently revised curriculum in Computer Information Systems. The evaluation found that the curricula report is useful as an initial set of curriculum guidelines, but that customization of its recommendations is needed to satisfy individual program, college, and university objectives. Suggestions for improvements to the curricula report and advice to information systems curriculum developers are listed. HCI educators who may find its recommendations helpful in developing HCI courses and curricula [Perlman, 1992; Gasen, 1992; Gasen, 1993b]. To date, very few educators have voiced their responses through the SIGCHI Bulletin; e.g., see L6wgren and Holmberg [1993] for an assessment of the curricula report's use in Sweden. This level of response underestimates the activity related to HCI education, as measured by entries in the SIGCHI sponsored Education Survey [Gasen and Perlman, 1993]. AS of November 1993, the survey database listed 67 programs and 137 courses
