Some of our biggest threats - Part 1a

This isn't the second part of that thought by any means, but a report was released recently that may very well begin a dialogue about how to go about changing IT.

James Duderstadt, highly respected former president of the University of Michigan, recently published a report outlining some provocative thoughts about the future of engineering education. It isn't long at all - but in short he suggests that we might want to look at engineering as we do a degree in law or medicine. Perhaps engineers, and I'll add IT professions, should be trained more broadly as an undergraduate and pursue their professional degree as graduate work. That might make more room for ethical frameworks, etc. in the overall education. It's an interesting idea.
