  abstract =     "To succeed in today's computer information systems
                 (CIS) environment, CIS professionals need far more than
                 traditional technical skills. Managers seek technical
                 staff with the ability to communicate effectively and
                 understand an organization's primary mission. Industry
                 would like CIS professionals to have strong backgrounds
                 in a broad variety of skills such as oral and written
                 communication, team work, and an awareness of
                 international issues. Current computer science and
                 information system curricula often do not provide our
                 students with the opportunity to learn these critical
                 skills. By adding a variety of simple activities to
                 existing technical courses we can provide students with
                 valuable opportunities to develop these critical
                 skills. A variety of teaching techniques can re-enforce
                 skills in both arenas at the same time. Some
                 assignments can assist students in understanding the
                 technical material by requiring them to apply advanced
                 critical thinking skills. Active learning can reach
                 students with different learning styles and increase
                 the understanding and retention of technical material.
                 A mixture of activities also provides a variety of
                 forms of assessment which may more accurately reflect
                 students' understanding of the material. As a bonus,
                 these skills will enable our students to continue to
                 thrive in a field fraught with constant change. The
                 seminar will expand on these themes and provide
                 examples and practice developing assignments that can
                 help prepare well-rounded students for success in
                 computer information systems.",
