There has been a continuing fragmentation of traditional computer science into other disciplines such as Multimedia, e-commerce, software engineering etc. In this context the standard computer technology curriculum designed for computer science students is in danger of becoming perceived as increasingly irrelevant --- both by students and employers. The authors review expectations of both students and employers, as determined by market analysis, and present the results of implementing one possible solution to providing an introductory computer technology curriculum suitable not only for students from other disciplines but also as a basis for Computer Science majors.
