Terminology and Jargon (cont)

Training

  • being taught specific skill-set for current products/packages
  • knowledge that dates quickly as technology changes
  • the kind of thing they do at TAFE and industry training-courses
 
 Education

  • being taught foundations on which products/packages are based
  • knowledge that dates far less rapidly   (foundations change slowly)
  • the kind of thing we do here at UNSW
  • afterwards, we expect that you can train yourself
 
 However, not just theory ... we do illustrate ideas by specific technologies.
