Computers have helped engineers and planners improve productivity and perform tasks that are impossible for manual operation. Development in computerized information technology will certainly affect engineering operations. One of the emerging issues in the information profession is the downsizing of information technology. The scope of the downsizing is defined, the status and the pros and cons of downsizing are reviewed and evaluated, and finally, the possible impact on engineering operations is pointed out. An attempt is made to bridge the gap between the engineering and the information technology professions.
