Realizing thestrength and accomplishments of CEMS, they felt it was important to maintain that portion of thename and not “redefine” it to include SWE. Yet they felt that using CEMS/SWE was too muchof an “add on” and did not truly reflect their feelings of complete collaboration. Afterconsiderable debate and reflection, they agreed to CEMSWE. What made this name appropriatewas that they “shared” the “S” in the middle and it ends with “WE”. The collaborative events Page 5.458.1now

Throughout the 1960’s, a continued shift inengineering curricula occurred in the direction of increased emphasis on analytical techniques,due in part to the explosion of knowledge in mathematics and the basic sciences. Thisrepresented a transition to the era of engineering science, an era which produced fine analyticalengineers, but engineers who were required to learn most, if not all, of their design skills aftersecuring their first engineering position. By the 1980’s, the effect of these shifts was evident in a

consciousness on behalf of the researchparticipants as a means of empowering them and giving research participants more authority(Thomas, 1993, p. 4).Similarly, participatory action research became popularized by a research movement that was apartial solution for those traditionally oppressed (women and people of color), exploited, orabused in the research process (Denzin & Lincoln 1998, p. 335). As a result, the ‘subjects’traditionally observed became active participants, to some degree or another, in the researchdesign, data collection, and/or data analysis phases of the research.

At the present time even the term Information Technologyis interpreted differently by many in academia and industry.The development of IT as an academic discipline is similar to the process that Computer Science(CS) went through in the 70's and 80's. In fact, looking at the placement of Computer Scienceprograms in academic institutions around the U.S. illustrates the debate that swirled around thediscipline as its core was being defined. Some CS programs are in departments of Mathematics,others are in Engineering schools, and many others have become freestanding programs withinnewly emerging colleges of computing.Information Technology, as it is

As a result of this shortage U.S. corporations, both large andsmall have to import engineering support from abroad to stay viable in the market place.The question at hand is: What can be done to increase attracting and retaining engineeringstudents in their respective programs?.
