Industry Advisors

Authenticity is a key requirement for a scenario-based task. The challenges offered students must be real-world—something they would be asked to do if they had been hired for their target job. The details and supporting documents must ring true to generate student involvement and provide useful work experiences.

Our Industry Advisory Panel is convened periodically to assure continued authenticity of our scenarios, tasks, classroom techniques, and course material.

We thank our panel participants for generously sharing their time, ideas, knowledge and experience with our faculty and staff.

The Industry Advisory Panel met at De Anza College to review progress to date and provide input for plans for the future of the project.

Panel members included representatives from:

  • Oracle Corporation
  • Visto Corporation
  • IBM Global Services
  • Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.
  • Cisco Systems, Inc.
  • MCS Business Services
  • De Anza College
  • Foothill College
