Comparing Computer Disciplines The computer class you are enrolled in has piqued your classmates' interest to a point where several students seriously are considering a major in one of three computer disciplines - Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering. Form a three-member team. Each team member should choose a different discipline. Using the Web, school catalogs, other media, or interviews with school counselors or advisors, each team member should determine the advantages and disadvantages of the discipline that he or she chose. Which option is more application oriented? Theory oriented? Are advanced degrees in the assigned discipline awarded at your school? As a team, merge your findings into a team report. Make sure to include in the merged report the planning and prerequisites necessary, along with which discipline offers the greatest potential for career growth and advancement.
