It's an instance of the larger pattern in which technical degree programs lag industry requirements by decades, as older faculty ossify at the state of the art circa 2-3 years prior to when they received tenure.

IMO one way to help would be to get rid of the entire notion of a "Professor".

Instead, courses should be taught primarily by a combination of professional instructors on permanent contracts and teacher-practitioners supported by the instructors. The instructors should have occasional sabbaticals for the professional instructors to embed in firms and ensure they're up to date on the industry.

The research side of the university can even more easily replace Professors and tenure with first-line lab managers on 3-5 year contracts whose job is simply to apply for grants and run labs, and who can teach if they want but are held to the same standards as any other applicant for an ad junct teaching position in any particular term.
