computing instruction challenges are addressed in this paper, namely:1. Several parallel, competing computer instructional programs exist at a given institution ofhigher education, e.g. Computer Science (CS), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE),Information Systems (IS), and Information Technology (IT).2. Each computer instruction program, frequently, is constrained by a total number of coreinstruction credit-hours permitted by its college or university. Page 11.791.23. Computer technology, both hardware and software, continues to grow at seeminglyunmanageable rates.Faculties are challenged to keep pace with this growth.4. Programs, usually, are

In many medical fields, the overall need for supporting advanced medical devices withcomplex technological requirements is also exponentially increasing.Existing undergraduate major and minor programs in health informatics do not adequately equipstudents with skills to address these challenges, mostly due to limited STEM-focused courses.There is an increasing gap between overall skill-set of graduating health informaticsprofessionals, and the job requirements. It takes a long time to train these individuals on the field,and equip them with necessary informatics skills to address these challenges.This skills gap has traditionally been addressed by employing graduates with computer scienceand engineering

the LPU, we must first consider how we have previously construed success and failure withinan undergraduate engineering program. Learning from educational anthropologists and scienceand technology sociologists, we are encouraged to look deeper at the spatiotemporal scalestypically used to measure progress through the engineering curriculum and mathematicslearning, reconsidering who created these scales, the reasoning behind their creation, and what itmeans about our educational systems. As McDermott and Varenne (2006) suggest, the criteriafor success and failure within a given context are more telling about the values and history of theeducational designers and administrators in charge than they are about the abilities or knowledgeof students
