Curriculum Committee Issues for 1994-95 ("list of projects for this year")

Current Issues

______________________________________________________________________________


Existing Courses:

* 100 (Introduction to Computing Technology) -- still a legitimate audience 
for this?

* 201 (Elementary Computer Programming) -- still a legitimate audience for 
this?

* 221/222/321/560/680 (Software "Spine") -- get status report; anything to do 
yet?

* 294I (Problem Solving Using C++) -- convert to permanent course?

* 360 (Introduction to Computer Systems) -- get status report; anything left 
to do?

* 560 (Elements of Computer Systems Programming) -- add second writing course 
as prerequisite (it is already this way in course description booklet)?

* 675 (Introduction to Computer Architecture) -- update prerequisites now that 
675.01 and 675.02 are separate; e.g., "675.02: not open to students with 
credit for EE 260 or EE 261"?

* 694E (Introduction to High-Performance Computing) -- convert to permanent 
course; e.g., 621?

* 694I (Programming in C++) -- convert to permanent course; e.g., 459.51?

* 694J (Social and Ethical Issues in Computing) -- pilot as 1-hr course 
in Winter and convert to permanent course?

* 778 (Computer-Aided Design and Analysis of VLSI Circuits) -- change to 600 
level; e.g., 678?


New Courses:

* Create capstone design course for hardware/software option in ENG?


New Programs:

* Give "feedback and blessing" to proposed scientific computation program?

* Encourage innovative uses of DL 280 and DL 480, if populated with 
workstations on student desks?

Issues Likely to Come Up Later This Year

______________________________________________________________________________


* 211 (Computer Programming for Problem Solving) -- replace with beefed-up 
5-hr version of 101, which would replace current 101?

* 212 (Computer Data Processing) -- withdraw?
