Engineering Schools

Table 2 shows a similar array for the leading engineering schools, indicating that almost half have offered KM-related courses to their graduate students. The Computer Science faculty generally provides these courses, which frequently, if not always, focus on database systems, data mining, and knowledge-based systems.
