Timesharing was the watch word of the early seventies. Throughout the seventies, Wellesley offered one to two computer science courses annually. Enrollments climbed from 48 students in to in Realizing the importance of this new discipline, not to mention the importance of exploding enrollments, Wellesley College hired its first full-time computer science faculty member in Four additional faculty members were added over the next three years. The new hires dug right in.
By the fall of , a computer science curriculum was place. Courses in data structures and computer organization promised to be equally successful. Total enrollments grow to during the academic year. The Computer Science Department was created in the Spring of , and for the first time Wellesley College could offer students a computer science major.
The computer science curriculum consisted of a total of ten distinct courses, although only eight were required for the degree. The first majors would graduate the following year. Rapid development of computer science at Wellesley College was not without its problems. Access to computer terminals was severely limited and tensions in the single campus terminal room were on the rise. Hiring and maintaining faculty was difficult in the bull computer market of the early eighties.
The Computer Science Department moved quickly to address these problems. A computer science terminal area, built in the mezzanine of the Science Center Library, promptly became known as Bedrock Bambam lived there , quickly became home to students and faculty. Computer Science at a liberal arts college was still new. However, a consensus on computer science curriculum and major requirements was beginning to emerge among faculty at many like-minded institutions. Computer Science replaced Computer Science as the entry to the major.
Theory and foundation courses migrated from the level to the hundred level in order to provide students a firm grounding in the basics early in their major. Digital laboratories were created for hardware oriented courses such as Computer Organization and Computer Architecture. Computing continued to change and to grow. Dorm rooms were wired to the LAN, and computer areas were springing up all over campus.
Computer Science by now had outgrown its quarters in Bedrock and Bambam was showing signs of middle age. Several advanced programming courses were immediately moved to take advantage of this new technology. Planning was underway for yet another addition to the Science Center in order to house a new computer equipped classroom, graphics and digital electronics laboratories, faculty offices and several large workstation areas.
