摘要:

Adaptations by higher education to an information-processing world will involve the development of new organizational forms that encourage and reward collaboration. As the world ‘becomes smaller’, we are rediscovering the interdependence of things. The leadership team and interdisciplinary group are emerging as the workplaces for the information-processing world. Colleges and universities that develop viable networks for processing information will lead the way into the 21st century. Recommendations for higher education worldwide include the following: developing interdisciplinary, team-taught courses of study; forming interdisciplinary groups to bring together people to analyze problems; implementing leadership teams in the decision-making structures of departments, schools and colleges. The creation of interdisciplinary problem-solving groups as the building blocks of the information-processing society will require changes in our attitudes toward leadership. The leader as servant will emerge as governance model. Changes in our systems of selection, evaluation and promotion of faculty and administrators will also be required. Interdisciplinary groups and leadership teams will form the infrastructure of the new world order of information processing and decision making.

摘要:

The paper discusses the use of computers in the teaching of engineering students. A distinction is made between using computers for word-processing, etc., and using computer-based educational packages. While engineering education has been slow to take up computer-aided learning, a gradually increasing awareness of computer capabilities suggests a possible increase in computer-aided learning/teaching in future.

摘要:

Nowadays information is acknowledged as a key factor for success. For engineers, especially, it is a tool for keeping their knowledge up to date and improving their professional skills in a wide variety of areas. In order to adapt their curriculum, engineering educational institutions have to set up and implement teaching in the use and management of information. The experiments which have been conducted in this field, show the advantages of such training and also the difficulties encountered. Their results allow us to formulate some proposals to set up efficient teaching including both training in use, production and communication of information. The ideal would be to integrate the different parts of the information training programme into scientific and technical specialities curricula. However, that supposes innovative pedagogical methods. Teaching staff have to take into account these circumstances to meet the information challenge of the 1990s.
