In the NAIT Demographics Study – 1997 (Kulatunga, Shaw, & Nelson, 1999), only two Computer Technology oriented NAIT programs were identified nationwide; one in Computer Technology and one in Telecommunications. The following year, based on a review of the 1998 NAIT Directory, Zargari and Coddington (1999) identified six such programs: five in computer technology and one in telecommunications. Four years later, a review of the NAIT Program Directory (2003) for baccalaureate level Industrial Technology related computer technology programs identified 16 NAIT accredited programs. Thus, the growth has been dramatic.}, month = {9}, keywords = {administration|computer programming|curriculum|electronics|information technology|research}, issn = {2166-0123}, publisher={The Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering and Iowa State University Digital Press}, journal = {Journal of Industrial Technology} }
