These results areenough to draw concern that if technological collaboration tools are a necessity for tomorrow'sengineers, these differences should be addressed to determine how all students could benefit.

As many of these issues affectall IT and networking programs, it is hoped that this discussion is helpful to all programs.BackgroundThe Network Engineering Technology (NET) program in the Department of Computer andInformation Technology (CIT) at Purdue University focuses on building infrastructure to supportbusiness application deployment. The general philosophy of the program is that business needsdrive application and data needs, which require network and underlying system infrastructure.Students must understand business at a high level, application and data management at a mediumlevel, and infrastructure in detail.The core curriculum consists of two main areas: network engineering (NET) andsystems/network administration and

The program is specifically intendedto prepare graduates for careers in industries where automated systems are used and to preparethem both to meet current challenges and to be capable of growing with future demands of thefield. It accomplishes this by accepting associate degree students from either mechanical orelectrical engineering technology programs, cross-training them in the alternate discipline, andthen exposing them to a spectrum of instrumentation and industrial controls concepts. Theprogram culminates with a capstone project design course

The reason is that it is impossible to teach all the required subjects(theory, application, administration, etc.) in only one course. Also, experience indicates that thedatabase job market expects our graduates to have enough expertise to be able to install andconfigure their Database Management System, write application programs, design the database,maintain and

computer science programs emerged from departments of mathematics, physics orelectrical engineering (EE). Most information systems programs emerged within schools ofbusiness or accounting. For about three decades, these two computing programs and EE were theonly ones familiar to most students; if a student wanted to major in computing, these werebasically the only options.In the late 1980s, two additional programs began to emerge: computer engineering and softwareengineering. Electrical engineering had long been teaching students the particulars of digitalcircuits and logic design, and many EE graduates had been going to work for computer hardwaregiants such as IBM and Intel. As the need for such skills continued to grow, many EE programsaround
