Empirical analysis of strategies employed within an ICT curriculum to increase the quantity of graduates

There is an increasing demand for information and communication technology (ICT) graduates to sustain the growth of the rapidly evolving ICT industry. This demand for ICT graduates challenges higher education to be more effective with ICT curriculum design. The purpose of this study is to apply various strategies to amend student misconceptions, and improve student perceptions, motivation, engagement, and academic success within an ICT curriculum with the intent to increase the number of ICT graduates without reducing graduate competency. This empirical analysis using data collected over a significant time period has evaluated the collective changes to course commencement and attrition rates and found there was significant evidence of improvement.
