Abstract
Considering the relentless pace at which information technology (IT) is shaping the global environment, this study aims to determine the impact of IT on university students from their attitudes toward IT. The areas examined in this study are the educational, personal and social aspects of the students toward the impact of IT. A survey was conducted on 201 undergraduates from two local universities, Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore, with almost equal numbers of engineering and non-engineering undergraduates. The results show that although all the respondents felt the impact of IT, their attitudes toward IT were varying with respect to the three areas of study. Contrary to common belief, non-engineering undergraduates were found to have a more positive disposition toward the impact of IT.
