Western Australian uni coup with IBM and Nortel
A business coup with international IT companies IBM and Nortel has scored an Asia-Pacific first for Western Australia’s Edith Cowan University (ECU) and its 21,500 students.
ECU, which has its headquarters in WA’s capital city, Perth, is the first university in the Asia-Pacific region chosen by IBM to showcase its technology, research and business expertise.
ECU President Millicent Poole says ECU is also the first in the region, and among the first few in the world, to install a Nortel Mesh Network enabling unparalleled wireless technology use on the university’s four campuses.
“The IBM deal has created an alliance with ECU for 10 years,” says Professor Poole. “Our new ECU Advantage program in conjunction with IBM now gives students affordable access to pre-configured wireless ThinkPad laptops for use in the classroom and anywhere on campus.”
The ECU Advantage program follows successful pilot studies trialling the use of wireless technology in classes.
The trials, which ended in June, found that students’ study and research were enhanced, as well as academic and social communication.
IBM is funding ECU scholarships and research, including appointments such as a new IBM professorial chair in Computer and Information Security to tackle the growing global problem of information terrorism.
ECU students are also benefiting from working in IBM’s Australian Programming Centre. ECU学生还受益于在IBM澳洲程序中心工作。
ECU is currently expanding its IT facilities for students with site works beginning on a new $35 million library complex at its flagship Joondalup campus with an internet café, IT centre and additional student megalabs.
ECU is the market leader in Australia for on-campus students from five international countries, and ranked first in WA for the number of onshore international students from 11 countries.
