Listen Tuesday, May. 24, 2005 at 12:06 p.m. in Tech Tuesday, Technology

Recent studies show a 60% drop in the number of freshman declaring computer science as a major. With out-sourcing of technology jobs and a lack of diversity as major issues confronting the field, Tech Tuesday looks at how colleges teach Computer Science and its vitality today.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.

Guests
