- ISTeC received $232,000
grant from CIT (Colorado Institute of Technology)
for developing nine "Interdisciplinary Studies
Program in IS&T" courses for online
delivery, aimed at community colleges and other
interested parties. As of Fall 2003, three courses
are completed, three are in development, and
the final three will be completed by Fall 2004.
- Principal Investigators: Pete Seel, Journalism
and Technical Communication, Jamie Switzer, Journalism
and Technical Communication, and Karen Kaminski,

Fall
2001:
- ISTeC supported the development
of the "Interdisciplinary Studies Program
in Information Science and Technology" for
undergraduates. This program was approved in Fall
2001, and the first students enrolled in Spring
2002. By including courses from four departments
and colleges, this innovative program provides
majors in non-IS&T areas with a knowledge
of IS&T fundamental concepts and skills that
will enhance their understanding of technology
and their career options. In Spring 2003, the
first student graduated with this "minor."
In Fall 2003, 18 students were enrolled in this
program.
- Point of contact: Pete Seel, Journalism and
Technical Communication.
