-as the beginnings of life long learningthat will be needed later in a professional career.IntroductionInformation Technology as a college major is somewhat hidden compared with majors such asComputer Science (CS) and Computer Engineering (CE). Most counselors in high school willrecommend one of the latter if a student has interest in computers. Many of these students don’tunderstand the differences between these college majors and begin taking classes to discover ifthey actually fit in a particular major. Because of this situation there are many students thatchange their major from CS or CE to IT. Many students then believe that InformationTechnology is the major that would better fit what they want to do with computers and use

colleges and universities are offering on-line degree programs and/orcourses in record numbers. However, a major concern regarding on-line courses with laboratorycomponents has been and still is the practicality of bringing laboratory experiments on-line. Inthis regard, the complexity associated with interfacing technologies between a remote site and alocal site running an experimental set-up poses a major technological challenge in this area.Perhaps, much of this complexity stems from non- Page 7.1045.1Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright© 2002, American Society for

The job options in the information technology field can be numerous and can leadto different levels of career growth.Female participation in the IT occupations has varied up to a high of approximately 35% in theearly 1990s.

More manufacturing engineering andmanufacturing technology programs alike have courses in lean manufacturing and six-sigmaquality management as a result. However, the actual impact of these efforts can be realized onlywhen an academic unit’s “product” (students) can deliver it at the workplace. In order to build apositive student learning in the 21st century world, one needs to follow different and moreinnovative and active learning approach in the classroom.
