✦ Synopsis

The computer revolution has affected almost every aspect of life including the scientific disciplines. Higher education in science must take account of this in the preparation of effective scientists. This article is based on an attempt at Griffith University to do this in the School of Science by the introduction of a new concentration area named Electronics and Instrumentation and postulates that the success of the program in enabling students of all scientific disciplines to take this concentration area is due in part to the flexibility available within this interdisciplinary school.
