2. The Study

As it has been mentioned, calls to highlight the importance of computer literacy and computer programming from early stages of education have been made for a long time. Already in the early 1980s some schools in the US offered computer programming courses at the high school level (Oppenheimer, 2003). But while it has been pointed out that computer programming is a fundamental literacy for the future, statistical data shows that computerprogramming courses remain scarce. In the US for example, computer science is the only of the fields known as STEM— science, technology, engineering and mathematics—where student participation has decreased during the last 20 years, (Wagstaff, 2012; Loukides, 2014). Given the speed at which computer programming is becoming a fundamental literacy, a fix in higher education is necessary if readiness in front of technological change is to be achieved, waiting for new generations of students coming with a higher degree of literacy in computer programming from high school would leave several generations of university students in the limbo. However, while efforts to introduce computer programming in primary and secondary education are widely discussed, information about the actions being taken in higher education is scarcer; are universities taking steps to address this issue? What is the extent to which computer programming is being taught at universities? Do faculty support this idea? Using product design education as a case study, in this paper we approach these questions hoping to shed light into what the current situation in higher education in general may be. In this study faculty from well-known universities in the field of design were approached using a combination of semi-structured qualitative interviews and questionnaires, the main target were professors in charge of teaching computer-related classes or those in charge of developing the curriculum for those classes, however some other professors where approached in the process of reaching the appropriate parties
