Evaluation of Past Curriculum to Align with Current Educational Guidelines within Information Technology evaluates IT curricular guidelines and the Special Interest Group on the IT Education program compliance score to improve the quality of the general IT program at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. A survey was conducted that outlined the re-structured essential IT domains and subdomains. Participants were instructed to estimate the number of learning or contact hours devoted to each IT domain. Some domains such as ITE-IST Integrated Systems Technology and ITE-SIA System Integration and Administration were found to have few reported contact hours which do not meet learning hour requirements. In this case, it was recommended to add a course that introduces the topics covered in both domains. In addition, IT field trends also indicate that cybersecurity and networking are skills that have seen industry growth. Increasing the essential workload for these domains is recommended.
