Technology, by its very nature, is an ever changing field.

In order to stay abreast of those trends in technology, the Information Technology department of the School of Technology has formed a coalition of industry leaders to advise the faculty on the direction the curriculum must adher to comply with "best practices".

Students are invited, on a semester basis, to attend an open forum with the Industrial Advisory Board and voice their concerns and comments which are then passed on to the faculty by the board along with their own advice.
