A Theory . . . • Given that • Many young people are interested in computing; note: • General attraction of computers • Popularity of computer games • Ubiquitous computer-aided learning (at all grade levels, including pre-school) • Other . . . • Only a few, however, are pursuing IT related curricula • Computer science: “I’m just not that good at Math”; “I don’t want to spend my life in a cubicle”; IT jobs are being outsourced”; . . . • Other majors: “You mean I can do computing without having a CS degree?” • Over the years, the vast majority of MIS/CIT majors have transferred in from other degree programs • IT hiring recently reached an all-time high (beyond the late 1990s!) • It therefore appears that • If only potential students (i.e., HS and JHS students) were aware of career opportunities for non-CS majors • Then we’d be flooded with students seeking our CIT degrees
