Learning About Outsourcing in College?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday September 2, 2004 @03:13AM from the lessons-from-the-real-world dept.

nial-in-a-box asks: "I just started my software engineering course today at Loyola University Chicago and I found out that I will be learning hands-on about outsourcing. My classmates and I will be outsourcing parts of projects to students at another university, and then those students will be doing the same for us. This seems like it could be rather interesting. Has anyone out there been in a class like this before? Any other ideas on how to effectively teach about the implications of outsourcing (especially pointing out that outsourcing doesn't necessarily mean no jobs upon graduation)?"

Except that we are doing most offshore outsourcing with English speaking people. Learn the facts before you use this as a welfare excuse, people.
