At various times, the principals of CNE have recorded their
perspectives on engineering education. We offer them here
for your reading pleasure.
- The New Engineer:
An Interview with Dr Denning
- In March 1994 Michael Hieb and Nina Kaull interviewed Peter
Denning about his philosophy and motivations for founding the CNE.
- The New Engineer Revisited:

model of non-linear learning, and its instantiation as CNE
Modules.

- Business Designs
for the New University
- In Educom Review of Nov/Dec 1996, pages 20-30, Peter

of Computing (Peter J. Denning and Robert M. Metcalfe, eds.),
Copernicus Books (an imprint of Springer-Verlag), 1997. Denning
speculates that strong market and political forces are pushing
universities in radically new directions that will affect
curriculum, teaching, research, professional education, and even
our theory of knowledge. (Needs Adobe Acrobat reader.)
- The Discipline of
Computer Science
- This draft will be published as a chapter in the revised
Encyclopedia of Computer Science (A. Ralston and D.
Hemmendinger, eds) in 1998. It is an overview of the field
of computer science and its relationships with other
