43. CONFERENCE AIMS TO RESHAPE ENGINEERING EDUCATION High-tech services companies, which have surpassed manufacturers as the major employers of engineers, need workers with strong leadership and communicationsskills, to say nothing of an entrepreneurial flair. But such skills are not being taught in most university engineering programs. IEEE and IBM are trying to change that. They began by holding a conference, “Transforming Engineering Education: Creating Interdisciplinary Skills for Complex Global Environments.” Learn more at http://bmsmail3.ieee.org:80/u/16803/1505238
