Abstract

Educators face an increasingly difficult task in preparing students for today’s information technology and/or information systems (IT/IS) jobs. The foundation must ensure that students master solitary tasks such as programming and logical design. However, the reality of IT/IS jobs requires that students must also be prepared to deal with increasingly complex design projects and work in teams made up of peers who come from many different business disciplines and bring the requirements of multiple organizational functions. As a result, IT/IS educators must design their courses to give students experience working in teams and on problems that reflect the complexity of the business environments in which they will be employed.
