Information & Communications Technologies (ICT) Web

Page 9: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

Key Findings

• Computer, Networking and Information Technologies have, to at least some extent, developed and evolved separately and involved separate staff, departments, organizations.

• Those previously separate areas are converging rapidly. – Previously separate telecommunications, networking and computer support

organizations and departments are merging.

• This trend is frequently referred to as

“Convergence” in the U.S.

• Globally, the recognized term for Convergence is Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

• ICT includes computer hardware and software, networking systems, wired and wireless telecommunications, the Internet, technical project management, information (library) sciences, programming and management, maintenance and operations for all of the above.

Page 10: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

Key Findings(cont.)

• Information and Communications Technologies are evolving and converging rapidly.

• It is hard for organizations, individuals and educational institutions to keep up with the changes and realize their benefits.

Page 11: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• We all increasingly depend on ICT for productivity and connectivity – directly and indirectly.

• Because of that, improvements to deployed technology, communications infrastructure, and people’s ability to productively use them are issues of tremendous strategic importance, to:

– Local, State and National Economies– Individuals Seeking Career Advancement– Organizations in Accomplishing Their Missions

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 12: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• At $20/unit, California Community Colleges are the most cost-effective way of pushing ICT knowledge and skills out into our communities.

• Investments in Community College ICT Education have tremendous impact.

• Many do not understand Community College value.

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 13: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• Community College ICT program (whatever they’re called) students have very diverse backgrounds and goals:

– High school students seeking college credit

– High school graduates and non-graduates seeking technical skills that lead quickly to paying jobs

– High school graduates seeking AS degrees and academic and industry certifications

– High school graduates seeking an affordable pathway to 4-year degrees at colleges and universities

– Working professionals seeking knowledge & skill updates

– People wanting to learn ICT for advancement in other fields

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 14: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• ICT educational programs have largely been developed at each educational institution from scratch, with tremendous duplication of effort and with important differences between them in:

– Nomenclature (use of terms and titles of programs, courses and degrees)

– Course Content

– Packaging of Certifications and Degrees

– Quality

– Industry Relationships

– Focus

– Division into Various Departments

– Success in Serving Various Population Needs and Desires

– Articulation and Transfer Successes

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 15: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• Partially as a result of that, there is a lot of confusion in the “market-place” about ICT:

– Nomenclature

• use of terms and titles of programs, courses and degrees

– Educational Pathways

– Career Pathways

– Technologies

– Program Graduate Knowledge, Skills & Competencies

– Credential Value

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 16: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• Industry wants to work with education to improve technical education in California.

• But they can not or will not engage with 100+ community colleges, plus 4-year colleges and universities, plus private educational institutions individually.

• It is too costly and inefficient.

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 17: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• Employers consistently report problems with adequate employability or soft skills. – Communication skills

– Social skills

– Motivation and drive

– Problem identification and solving skills

– Responsibility for continued learning & growth

– Conscientiousness & pride in work

– Entitlement & willingness to work hard

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 18: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• America retains a myopic false impression it still leads the world in ICT industry and infrastructure.

• In fact, the U.S. has been overtaken by many countries and educational institutions abroad.– The US has fallen from 1st to 15th in “broadband”

penetration, and it is still falling fast.– In 2006, the U.S. fell to 7th in the World Economic

Forum “Network Readiness Index.”

• Increasingly, the best knowledge, experience and practices in ICT are found abroad, and we need to better understand them and learn from them.

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 19: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

• California, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the Bay Area have tremendous positive name recognition globally on ICT.

• The world expects California, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and the Bay Area to show leadership in ICT– And ICT Education.

Key Findings(cont.)

Page 20: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

Amazingly, almost embarrassingly, there were really no significantly funded efforts in Northern California to develop leadership and coordinate and facilitate activities to improve ICT education.

Key Findings(cont.)

What is ICT?

An umbrella term, widely used in the rest of the world and the United Nations, to encompass all rapidly converging:

– computer, – software, – networking, – telecommunications, – Internet, – programming and – information systems technologies.

Page 23: League of Innovations Innovations 2009 Monday, March 16 th, 2009 This material is funded in part by the National Science Foundation Grant DUE 0802284.

Why is ICT Important?

In the information and knowledge economies of the 21st century, we all increasingly depend on information and communications technologies and the increased connectivity and productivity they enable.

CSU Monterey Bay (CSUMB)BS Degree in Computer Science and IT

The CSIT major is a degree program with a unique blend of theories of computer science and practice of information technology. Students in this degree program will begin their education by taking a set of common core courses to establish a sound foundation on computer science and information technology. The students will then build upon this foundation by selecting software engineering or networking and security as their concentration. Throughout the program students will learn fundamental computing and information technology concepts while applying their knowledge to solve real-world problems.
