“…The undergraduate programme requires a minimum of 360 points( equivalent to a three-year full-time study), which includes 210 points of integrated courses, 90 points from a chosen major and the remaining 60 points from either elective papers or courses from another major (AUT, 2003). Students choose from a set of ten majors according to their individual career aspirations in (Clear, 2000).While intellectual capabilities such as teamwork, time management, report writing, analysing and evaluating information are addressed in the integrated core papers, IT skills are addressed through the six professional papers within the IT Major, the cooperative education experience and the wide range of tools and IT applications addressed throughout the programme (Dougherty et al, 2003); (see Table 1). Students who graduate with the IT Major qualify for business-oriented careers, which may involve a considerable IT dimension (Clear, 2001).…”
