One application where cross-disciplinary expertise becomes evident is in thedevelopment and utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS).As a resource management and decision support tool, a GIS enables users to analyze spatiallyreferenced data. The system depends, for its effectiveness, on the variety and volume of datathat must be gathered. The effectiveness of the system is dictated by the use of computers anddatabase management systems. These requirements imply that GIS analysts have to beadequately versed in Information Sciences and Technology (IST).Components of an IST program that meet the requirements in GIS

An example of this is in [1], which defined troubleshooting as a common form ofproblem solving that requires an individual to diagnose faulty systems and take direct, correctiveaction to eliminate any faults in order to return the systems to their normal states. Another is in[2], which described troubleshooting as a task that deals with problem-solving skills that arespecific to a domain such as computer programming, engineering, biology, medicine, orpsychology. Furthermore, the author described the task of troubleshooting as locating theproblem or malfunction in a system
education for some students. Of interest is the role of two-year colleges in thepreparation of such engineering students. This study looks at the relative success (GPA andretention) of 297 engineering students who took mathematics coursework at one of the system’sthirteen two-year colleges and then transferred to one of the three universities within the systemthat have multiple ABET accredited engineering programs. Over half of these students wereinitially placed at a level of pre-calculus or below. The success of these students is compared tolike groupings of engineering students who went directly to one of the three system engineeringschools. This study will look at the relative success of students as a function of initial mathplacement. In

This fosters creativityand confidence when solving problems. A course of this nature will also do a better job ofpreparing students to work as part of a multidisciplinary team, which is critical for their successas young engineers in industry.
