Equality, diversity, and inclusion in the CS curriculum
Equality, diversity, and inclusion in the CS curriculum
The computing discipline has long-standing issues in equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). Here we reflect on a curriculum review, embedding diversity-related learning outcomes to meet accreditation requirements by Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies. We give examples of local initiatives, which have been successful in improving the environment for women in computing, women in science, engineering and technology, as well as LGBTQ+ people. Their success can be brought into the classroom, with accreditation acting as the catalyst for such change in the CS curriculum.

Abstract
The computing discipline has long-standing issues in equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). Here we reflect on a curriculum review, embedding diversity-related learning outcomes to meet accreditation requirements by Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies. We give examples of local initiatives, which have been successful in improving the environment for women in computing, women in science, engineering and technology, as well as LGBTQ+ people. Their success can be brought into the classroom, with accreditation acting as the catalyst for such change in the CS curriculum.
