Close Encounters of the Educational Kind
23
I hear, I forget I see, I understand I do, I
remember. - Homer

• What ITE means for SEAS
• Unique, multidisciplinary, hands-on training
  immersed in state of the art IT
• A defining program to be emulated by others
• A skill set highly sought after by Industry
• Enhance research and the transition of results
  to Industry
• Wise consolidation of resources in CS, EE, and
  SE rather than
• duplication
• Raise the IT literacy and capabilities of SEAS
  and beyond

24
Motivation
I hear, I forget I see, I understand I do, I
remember. - Homer

• 30,000 IT jobs in VA going unfilled
• More than 65 (and growing) of students in SEAS
  in IT related areas
• IT jobs require rigorous training in engineering

25
Information Technology Engineering (ITE)
I hear, I forget I see, I understand I do, I
remember. - Homer

• An integrated, multidisciplinary, and rigorous
  engineering program to educate future IT
  engineers at the undergraduate and graduate
  levels.

26
Education of Engineers
I hear, I forget I see, I understand I do, I
remember. - Homer
