MSIT_511 & MIT_511 Special Topics Seminar

This course is an elective subject designed through various seminars to reinforce students on the trends and innovations in the field of information technology. It is essential for
the student to understand the pace of change, what the trends are, and the concepts and knowledge frameworks about how technologies emerge and, in some cases, become
viable and successful parts of IT in the real world. Along with this, the student needs to be cognizant of innovation and creativity as drivers of emerging technologies. The course
will include topics of current interest to the instructor and students, and will be selective rather than trying to cover a vast range of technologies. The goal is for the student to
understand the tremendous historical impact of emerging technologies, the business and government settings and frameworks for them, and how some examples of technologies
have been and are being thought up, developed, marketed, and implemented in the real world.
