WORKSHOP: Management of Technology and the Paradigm Shift in Education in Response to the Technology Revolution; Orlando, FL, February 16-20, 1998

9725914哈利勒迈阿密大学将组织一次研讨会，以审查该行业对技术管理(MOT)领域教育的需求。技术变革的快速步伐和市场的全球化正在迫使行业发生变化。这些变化需要受过教育并有能力应对新兴技术和商业模式的人员。教育项目对MOT教育的需求反应迟缓。他们继续将教育划分为工程学院或商学院，主要出于保护地盘的障碍仍然存在。拟议中的研讨会将确定创建MOT项目的必要性，以及修改科学、工程和商业学校现有课程的理由。与会者将研究是否有对MOT教育的需求，如果有，其内容应该是什么。他们还将检查教育是否满足了这一需求。这种方法是基于听取业界的意见。各大工业机构的代表将获邀出席工作坊。为了筹备这次会议，他们将被要求出席或派一名代表参加1998年2月在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的第七届国际技术管理会议。每个受邀者将被要求准备一份简短的立场文件，总结他/她所在行业对MOT教育和培训的需求。将在3月底或4月初举行为期一天的后续讲习班，讨论答复和总结意见，并将在1998年夏天出版一份报告。据推测，如果有工业需求，并且需求得到澄清，大学很可能会做出回应。

9725914 Khalil The University of Miami will organize a workshop to examine the industry's demand for education in the Management of Technology (MOT) field. The fast pace of technological change and the globalization of the marketplace are forcing industry to change. These changes require personnel who are educated and capable of dealing with the emerging paradigms of technology and business. Educational programs have been slow in their response to the need for MOT education. They continue to compartmentalize education into either engineering or business schools, and barriers motivated primarily by turf protection continue to exist. The proposed workshop will identify the needs that justify the creation of MOT programs as well as the rationale for revamping existing curricula in science, engineering, and business schools. The participants will examine whether there is a demand for MOT education, and if so, what its content should be. They also will examine whether education is meeting that demand. This approach is based on listening to industry. Representatives from major industrial corporations will be invited to the workshop. In preparation for it, they will be asked to attend or to send a representative to the Seventh International Conference on Management of Technology in Orlando, Florida in February 1998. Each invitee will be asked to prepare a short position paper summarizing his/her industry's demand for education and training in MOT. A follow-up one-day workshop to discuss responses and summarize ideas will be held in late March or early April, and a report will be published in the summer of 1998. It is postulated that if there is an industrial demand and the demands are clarified, universities are likely to respond.
