摘要：Over the decades the concept of a mainframe has been synonymous to IBM operating systems and the COBOL programming language. While object-orientated programming languages, web interface transaction systems, web services, distributed services, and mobile application topics are frequently included in the IS/CS curriculum, this paper considers the inclusion of IBM Enterprise Systems. IBM zEnterprise has evolved into an integrated, scalable, enterprise system which supports legacy applications, open-source applications and tools, DB2, Cognos, SPSS, data mining and Rational project management tools. The growth and market penetration of IBM zEnterprise has been spectacular. This evolution of IBM Enterprise Systems provides many opportunities for IS/CS majors. A case study implementing the IBM Academic Initiative in an ABET-CAC curriculum is presented.
