Software hounds may know their code, but not all of them know the code of conduct when it comes to dining. That's why IT students at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., are learning about class in class. Students at the university's School of Information Technology and Engineering learn dining etiquette, including how to use a fork, butter bread and hold a wine glass. This way, the students will be ready should they have to leave their terminals for a business dinner, and they'll never order red wine with their Filet-O-Fish.
