The knowledge and understanding of IT in the
world today is a critical life skill for students
despite their chosen field.
It is exciting to meet the challenge of imparting technical information,
as well as the implications of technology, to nontechnical students.
Today's technologists are faced with many issues that must be
placed within a philosophical framework, and should be able to
critically reflect on the moral issues in computing. At SMU we
emphasize both the social importance and the intellectual challenge
of engineering, with emphasis on decision-making in a corporate
setting.
