14.1033.5possible.Industry TrendsThe information technology industry is consistently changing with the advent andcommercialization of new technologies. While this change is constantly ongoing, the mid 2000’swere a period of significant change that directly impacted the networking and infrastructure area.Many of the specialized skills that once differentiated our students in the marketplace havebecome commoditized. In the 1990’s, for example, IP subnetting knowledge was adifferentiating factor in the student marketplace; today it is background knowledge. Thiscommoditization of knowledge is ever ongoing, resulting in today’s hot skills (such as IPtelephony) becoming tomorrow’s background knowledge.As cutting edge technologies have become more mainstream, the manner

This strategy for studentlearning could effectively be utilized with other application areas as a way to incorporate moreinterdisciplinary learning in the undergraduate curriculum.IntroductionSince the late 1990's there has been a drive to integrate more biological applications into theundergraduate chemical engineering (ChE) curriculum.

U.S. manufacturing continues to lead that of other nations in industrial productivity. Manyaerospace-related industries are now positioning themselves overseas with various sized operations.A 1993 study by McKinsey illustrates that, as of 1990, Japanese workers were only 83 percent as productive asU.S. employees in manufacturing, and German workers were 79 percent as productive. A key finding of theMcKinsey study is that competition played a key role in the U.S. lead.

Page 14.162.11there is a strong job market. However, it seems clear that employers would have a preference forthe CE grads over CET grads which could create a “class” structure within the program.The most common reason for a preference to hire CE over CET graduates is licensure, notability. Employment is an area where personal bias also plays a role in hiring. This bias is notlimited to CE vs. CET. Some engineering firms will have a preference for graduates from thesame institution that the firm’s principle(s) attended.8.
