The explosion of the Internet and World Wide Web has changed the way information systems are developed and implemented to support corporate enterprise.
Today, all professionals are technology- based. Engineers, analysts and business leaders alike are impacted by incompatible software interfaces running on networked hardware. All that is fixed is the certainty of change.

In today's business world, the big issue is middleware, i.e. the software standards and interfaces that come between an operating system and an application, ensuring that all pieces of the system are working together. Networks are now in place, connected and communicating with each other. The challenge is making all the pieces work together to solve real problems of enterprise.

Created more than a decade ago as a part of the Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications, Polytechnic's Master of Science Degree Program in Information Systems Engineering continues to be in the forefront of offering information professionals the in-depth training, broad-based technical foundation and core competencies for meeting the challenge of designing, implementing and managing information systems.
