A course on information engineering

ABSTRACT

An overview of information engineering: objectives, principles, methodologies, and techniques; precedes an outline with some suggestions for a course on information engineering. The course will be offered in Puerto Rico for the first time on the Spring semester. The author plans to present on a future date a critique on the course and his experiences.
