I had another note on my online dorm room door last night, asking:
“Can you define the Internet Generation?”
Well, I’ve always wondered myself, so I began a search to find out.
What I found was that, officially, it’s anyone born between the years of 1985 abd 1999. It’s also called the IGeneration, which directly followed the MTV Generation.
This iGeneration has grown up with the rise of the Internet, most of whom do not remember pre-Internet times. More than 85 percent of this generation uses the Internet to check and/or send email every day, reports Greensberg Quinlan Rosner, a research and strategic consulting firm.
And here’s another important fact. Studies indicated that 66 percent of them have an interest in online education. Due to thier knowledge of technology, it only makes sense that these upcoming college studens will have an increased interest in online degree programs.
On a side note, it was also found that more than 65 percent prefer to be contacted by email over other methods.
In fact, nearly two thirds (64 percent), of this group agreed with the statement that “I don’t know how I would keep up with my friends or family if I didn’t have the Internet.”
More than 32 percent use email as their primary source to conduct business, communicate with friends, make purchases, and have exchanges with family members.

Another note got posted on my online dorm room door last night…
“where can I find a good Engineering online program?”
Well, there are lots and lots of them - expecially if you’re looking for a masters degree.
I’ll be highlighting several that fit the bill over the next few weeks, but I suppose I
should start in my own backyard first.
That means North Carolina.
And if you’re thinking North Carolina and Engineering, the obvoius place to start is at
North Carolina State University (NCSU)
NCSU is one of the finest Engineering schools in the Southeast, if not the nation. As such it is
highly competitive. In fact, only two schools in the entire state offer an Engineering program and the one
at NCSU is the cream of the crop.
I attended the open house at NCSU last Saturday (not for me, but for my daughter - who by the way
is not interested in Engineering 
)
Here’s what I learned about there online engineering programs:
First and formost, they were created for the working professionals. Credit courses in Engineering and
Computer Science can be delivered directly to your home or workplace via the Internet.
In addition to this, special undergraduate programs are also offered in various locations throughout North Carolina.
Interested?
If you are then you should contact the Engineering Online office to learn more.
They have a toll-free number - (877) 254-0058
If you happen to be in the Raleigh/Durham area you can call (919) 513-4481,
The Engineering Online Office is open Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time.
Just as a side note, in case you were wondering:
North Carolina State University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097;
Telephone number: 404-679-4501) to award associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees.
