Computer Sophistication Survey

In addition to current initiatives and the research conducted by the Ferris State University Partnership for Career Decision-Making, in Summer 2001 the University conducted a statewide survey of Michigan high-school juniors and seniors to assess their views of computers and the sophistication of their computer skills. 

The survey found that while the vast majority of students are very confident in their computer abilities, when asked about specific computer applications, most are comfortable with Internet and email usage, rather than business functions.
