Information provided by the professors sheds light on the prerequisites, topics, experiential approaches, perceived success factors, and anticipated trends. At present the course has a systems analysis emphasis. In the future the material will be more related to small-scale computers and will increasingly be integrated into the curricula of the business disciplines.
