Abstract :
The Western Electric Corporate Education Center in Hopewell, NJ, was opened in 1969, centralizing the Company´s corporate technical-professional and management educational programs under one roof. The technical-professional curricula is administered under the Graduate Engineering and Information Systems Program, which has gone through an evolutionary period over the years, changing when necessary to keep in the forefront of new knowledge and teaching methodologies. Two major technical curricula are taught at the Center-manufacturing and telecommunications engineering, and computer science and information systems. In addition to experienced company instructors, the teaching staff also consists of outside educators from local university faculties and specialized consultants. Over 2000 technical-professionals annually attend varied technical courses taught in modern campus-like facilities that can accommodate up to 300 resident students.
