More than900 respondents participated in the survey. The groups of stakeholders included high-school students with an explicit interest in IT, students of IT specialties, IT professionals,top management of IT companies, and owners of IT businesses. By “explicit interest” inIT we mean that high-school students attend extra-curricular classes in IT (often for extrafees), for example, in programming, web and virtual design, robotics, etc.It was discovered among respondents over 18 years old, which represents students of ITspecialties and IT professionals of all

In other words, the real challenge in college teaching isnot trying to cover the material for the students, as many of us believe and practice today; but,rather uncovering the material with the students. This is a call for all faculty involved withteaching engineering courses and as members of faculty teams who develop, maintain andimplement engineering programs , to consider not only the content and topics that make up anengineering degree but also how students engage with these materials. It is primarily a call toconsider how students engage in their college experience, and to search for proper tools that canbe deployed to stimulate
