[Iefac.list] ASEE Publishes Newly Expanded Engineering: Go For It!

[Lawrence M. Seiford]

Hi Deji,
As you know, the IIE Board is preparing a response to ASEE. Let's not  
alienate them with a flurry of angry responses.
For clarification, in case any of our colleagues feel they must  
respond, please note that:
Just to clarify....
There is no mention of IE on the individual "cards" on their intro  
home page at http://egfi-k12.org/
The RHS sidebar that lists 15 engineering disciplines at the bottom if  
you take the engineer your path link to  http://egfi-k12.org/engineer-your-path/ 
  also has no mention of IT
In the magazine when they expand to listing 23 disciplines they do  
include a gratuitous mention of IE. That's it!
Thanks
