How does the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) help to keep TECO courses current?
The IAB strives to establish guidelines so that De Anza TECO classes include a curriculum which meets or exceeds industry requirements. Invited guests frequently attend and participate in Board meetings, providing suggestions for enhancing the overall Technical Communications program. Board membership signifies a commitment to help develop a closer association between the TECO department, the corporate community, and professional organizations, such as the Society for Technical Communications (STC). As a result, exciting programs are emerging, including internships with local companies, guest speaker engagements with classes, and student attendance at some monthly STC meetings.
