Abstract

The irresistible wave of globalization is transforming our society and our educational institutions. Profound IT-related challenges and opportunities stimulate IT research and lead to constant IT curriculum changes. This paper discusses the significance and impact of globalization and emerging technologies on IT curriculum and IT education in general. With a brief discussion of emerging technologies in the computing discipline including Grid Computing, Storage Area Networks, Entertainment Computing, Service Computing, Pervasive Computing, and Trustworthy Computing, this paper suggests some IT research topics and a new course that could be added to IT curriculum - International IT Project Management.
