About TSC

The CSPA Technical Steering Committee (TSC) is a newly formed body that will be responsible for CSPA exam format, content, and future direction. Its mission is to create the best possible assessment of software engineers -- one that is useful, up-to-date, and unbiased -- and bridges the gap between education and industry.

It is composed of 25 representatives from:

1. Education. Professors, instructors, and curricula administrators from coding schools, MOOCs, and traditional universities. (5 seats)
2. Industry. Software engineer veterans who have tons of experience hiring as well as a specific area of technical expertise. (15 seats)
3. Open source. Creators of new technologies -- languages, frameworks, methodologies, etc., and the contributors who maintain them. (5 seats)

Terms are 3-month long with renewal.
