In this 21st century, technologies are changing the landscape of industry and society at a rate not previously documented. Are our courses keeping up? I fear that far too many of our colleagues are using the same texts, the same syllabi, and sharing the same -- now stale -- facts in their classes with not enough attention to the changes that technologies and social shifts are making in their field. The increasing rate of change shows no signs of abating. Increasingly, we are under pressure as educators to ensure that what we teach is not outdated. We must not be teaching for jobs and career paths that are dwindling away to the dustbin of history. It is incumbent on us to perform the due diligence to assure that what we are teaching will be more relevant tomorrow than yesterday.
