Abstract

The faculty were surveyed concerning their computing experience, usage, needs and attitudes. The respondents were divided into two groups, users and non-users of computing facilities. Responses concerning computers in curriculum and computer attitudes in general were compared between the two groups. Statistical tests show significant differences in opinions between the two groups on various subjects. Results of the survey on computer usage, experience and needs from the users group is also reported in this paper.
