Courses in Computer Information Systems programs need to stay current with technological change and its resulting progress. Computer Information Systems students not only need to keep their computer knowledge up to date, but also understand how the application of this knowledge is used within their work organizations. Courses in supporting disciplines must also ensure that Computer Information Systems students stay current in those fields. Project management metrics from an Information Technology perspective are covered in a number of Computer Information Systems courses. The inclusion of a discussion of metrics in a Principles of Management course would reinforce the use of metrics from a manager's perspective.

Keywords: metrics, management, measurement, computer information systems, principles of management course, information technology curriculum
