> -------------------------     The Temple IT Program stems from a
> partnership program between TUJ and iCarnegie Inc., an educational
> affiliate of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) located in Pittsburgh
> Pennsylvania.  CMU  is one of the worlds top computer science research
> and educational institutions for software development and was ranked
> the #1 US Computer Science Program for 2002 by US News & World
> Reports.  Through participation in this program, students and IT
> professionals in Japan are provided access to world-class computer
> education resources and training content from the United States while
> also maintaining the benefits of having course instructors teaching in
> an American University classroom environment.
>  
>      The Temple IT Program offers certification in two critical IT
> disciplines: Computer Programming and Software Systems Development. By
> completing the required combination of five core courses, students
> earn the Certificate in Computer Programming and possess advanced
> skills and training for positions as C++ programmers, user interface
> developers, and Java/Web programmers. Students who complete a further
> five-course combination receive the Certificate in Software Systems
> Development, which will allow them to effectively work in large
> projects as database developers, software engineers, and software
> project managers.  In particular, courses SSD9 and SSD10 prepare
> students and corporations to effectively plan, organize and manage
> large scale IT projects while also providing in-depth knowledge and
> experience in using the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for managing
> software development projects.  CMM is a global IT industry standard
> software management process that was jointly developed by the Software
> Engineering Institute (SEI) and Carnegie Mellon University.
>  
>      Through the use of the Temple IT Program, corporate IT
> departments have the ability to assess the technical abilities of
> their current IT staff while also providing them a cost-effective way
> to raise the IT technical skills of each staff member to meet
> corporate needs.  Also, the added benefit of having your IT staff
> trained in English will enable them to work more productively in
> multinational IT project environments.  TUJ is also offering a
> Corporate Sponsorship/Internship Program to a limited number of
> companies to allow corporations direct access to program students for
> internship opportunities at your company, thus providing a corporate
> recruiting resource that ensures measurable technical skills and
> communicational ability.  Corporate Sponsorship also provides
> companies the added benefit of reduced course fees for employees
> interested in taking the program.
>  
>      If you have any additional questions about our program and how it
> is structured to improve the IT productivity and functions within
> corporations, please contact us for further information.  Our current
> efforts in marketing the program include talking with technology
> managers and corporate Human Resource departments to help them assess
> how this program may benefit their organization, thus any comments or
> thoughts on the program or professionals who may be interested in the
> Temple IT Program would be greatly appreciated.  The following
> weblinks provide more information on the program.
>  
>      We thank you for your time and hope to have an opportunity in the
> near future to discuss further the benefits of the Temple IT Program.

> Sincerely Yours,
