:*Improve retention of CTY students by offering career-oriented capstone projects with IT industries in the fifth and sixth semesters.
:::With identical core requirements for the first four semesters of the CNS/CTY programs, the fifth and sixth semester of the CTY program can roll-out or tweak courses to have students develop a better understanding of the IT industry by working on a solving a real IT industry-related task. A "capstone project" can match a CTY student with industry. By allowing students to with an industry partner, the student is encouraged to complete the CTY program and prevent them from being "stagnant" after completing the CNS program and waiting for employement.
:*Promote student success by channeling them to one year, lower credential diplomas (with the option of re-applying to CNS/CTY upon successful completion).
:*Align hardware concepts to reflect data servers (eg. data centers) as well as desktop (client-server) models.
