This report presents the competencies for an Information Technology Core Curriculum and was developed by the Curriculum Group of the NorthWest Center for Emerging Technologies at Bellevue Community College. This competency-based curriculum was translated from the skill standards outlined for several IT career clusters published in Building a Foundation for Tomorrow: Skill Standards for Information Technology by NWCET in 1997.
This report includes the following: Program Learning Components: meaningful categories of related skills and knowledge. Learner Program Outcomes: what the learners must be able to know and demonstrate at the end of the program. Key Competencies: specific, observable knowledge and skills that support and lead to the program learner outcomes.
Thanks to Michèle Royer, NWCET Curriculum Development Specialist, who generated and facilitated the reviews of this information. Many parts of the IT Core Curriculum were extracted and adapted from other IT curriculum projects. We would like to thank the Bellevue Community College IT program faculty and staff for their involvement and contributions.
