More recently, according to a report released in June from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), engineering bachelor's and master's degrees are on the decline — particularly among electrical engineering and computer science. All this adds up to an innovation deficit. http://www.itworld.com/government/54693/innovation-gap-real-all-right#comments Government Opinion education innovation Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:42:16 -0400 ITworld staff 54693 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/channel/53900/poor-education-decreased-funding-may-shake-education-market-it After getting a personal tour of the King's School in Thailand and studying their distance education program, I was impressed.

In a spacious Girl Scout cabin tucked away amid lush green palm trees, 20 girls ranging in age from 11 to 14, most wearing jeans and pigtails, are gearing up for today's camp activities. But there are no sit-upons or s'mores, potholders or paper crafts -- just 21 laptops, two color printers, 10 digital cameras, two scanners and a palpable abundance of preadolescent energy and creative enthusiasm. http://www.itworld.com/feature/53867/girl-power-summer-camp-grooms-tomorrows-techies#comments Tech & society Feature education Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:34:39 -0400 ITworld staff 53867 at http://www.itworld.com
