Abstract: Many technology programs are teaching the same (or very similar) curricula that they did a decade ago. However…the industry is changing rapidly and significant shifts are on the horizon. Faculty can benefit from studying technology forecasts, identifying trends and change in the industry, and adapting their classes and programs to better prepare students for future opportunities. 2015 Cengage Learning Computing Conference
