Advancement in technology and the widespread use of computers in society in the early 1990s created demand for professionals in the industry to manage the infrastructure which arose from the developments. The professionals produced from computing disciplines which existed at the time and efforts to respond to the needs did not to satisfy the skills requirements of the industry. As the skills requirements became clearer towards the year 2000, representatives from some universities which had started undergraduate programs related to Information Technology to meet the demand started collaboration with ACM and IEEE-CE among other stakeholders to develop a curriculum for IT. The group created the Society for Information Technology Education (SITE) which later became a special interest group for technical education (SIGITE) to spearhead the process. Consequently, the first curriculum model was produced in 2008, which was later reviewed to produce a new one in 2017. The curriculum defined the communities of practice, research in IT, which defined the status of IT as a discipline. The curriculum has been adopted in many regions globally even though some regions just refer to it or have different arrangements for their programs. This study sought to establish the status in the development of IT towards philosophical maturity as a discipline.
