Mr. Lancio facilitated an industry focus group through a DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) to determine what tasks, skills, and knowledge local employers deem necessary for a graduate of a baccalaureate degree in Information Systems Technology.
The group first developed a focus statement that defines what an IST professional does: An Information Systems Technology professional designs, plans, and manages infrastructure and resources involved in information systems including analysis, storage, networking, and security.
It then proceeded to list major areas of responsibility for the defined job function, and, within each area of responsibility, what tasks that individual is expected to perform, and what additional knowledge and skills are required to perform the job function. The report is attached here. The results of this focus group were provided to a team of Miami Dade College faculty who then organized the tasks into courses. The faculty then proceeded to develop competencies for those courses, which include the tasks, knowledge, and skills identified by the industry focus group.
