I recently took over a program that was a bit in the "dark ages". Many students complained when the former instructor retired, even going so far as to say the company "forced" her out. Since then, I have moved the program onto the standard curriculum, and updated much of the information given to the students, including lectures, activities, labs, etc. I've also integrated use of computers whenever possible, as the industry is heavily reliant on computers and technology. For a while now, I've been hearing students comment positively that they are pleased with the direction of the program, even if they do feel it is more difficult than in the past. Hearing me and my co-instructor discuss what is the current trend or standard in the industry, and how we want to present that to the class has cemented that we truly do want them to have the most current and relevant information available. This also solidifies that they will have an advantage over others competing for jobs once they graduate. Both my co-instructor and I have a lot of enthusiasm for our industry, and that carries out to the students. They now see that change in itself can be exciting when it makes their education a better experience.
