We discuss how this content can be presented effectively using just a few credithours of the IT program.IntroductionThe emerging discipline of Information Technology (IT) has many origins, depending on theparticular educational institution hosting the program1. These programs have emerged fromComputer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Technology and Telecommunicationsdepartments, among others. As would be expected from such diverse backgrounds, there isconsiderable variability in the curricula vouchsafed at these institutions. However, there is acommon body of knowledge that ties IT programs together – what has come to be called in thecommunity the Pillars of

This inevitably leads to the requirementthat emphasis given in higher education to skills and attributes that are transferable from one type of endeavorto another be as much as, if not more, than that given to purely technical skills, which beeome obsolete quicklyin face of rapidly evolving and changing technologies.

For instance, the1999-2000 Taulbee Survey found that Native Americans earned 31 (0%) of computer science(CS) and 4 (0%) of computer engineering (CE) bachelor degrees.4 Under-representation ofNative Americans in IT is critical for the American society, which promotes equal access toeducation and employment.
