Future Considerations
Research and Education
• Goal:
– Understand workforce demand and available educational resources
– Strategic plan for future to optimize resource usage
• Student enrollment in CSE programs and in IA courses
– Undergraduate vs. graduate education vs. certification
– Skills needed by industry
• Collaboration between academic institutes, industry, and
government
– Demand for workforce  attract students for computing and IA
– Support for IA centers  scholarship for students, internship, travel
to conferences, etc.
– Sharing IA course materials  enhanced IA education, distant
education, guest lectures
