Thesoftware studio is designed to enable a student with a non-technical background to make thetransition to the study of information science at a graduate level. Since its introduction in thespring of 1999, this course has been offered during each spring, summer, and fall semester. Asthis is a relatively new course, it is undergoing continuous incremental improvements based on in-class experience, student feedback and changes in the industry.I.

in engineering continuingeducation. The catalog, during these years, has amounted to over 200 different courses.Due to its own market research, the Department itself has created courses which range fromcommunications, to applied computer software; from reengineering to the Japanese language;from ethics to computer-aided education; from GPS to energy savings. And soon it becameevident that professors, participating as “students”, had many deficiencies in their professionalstraining, such as:1. a lack of appropriate oral and writing skills;2. a very poor orthography, unacceptable in professionals;3. a very poor vocabulary, specially in the humanities area; and4. a very poor and insufficient preparation, for historical, philosophical
