CCAA Action

CEEGS CE 460 C "Professional Aspects of Civil and Environmental Engineering".  Change title to add "Environmental Engineering", description, cr-hrs (from 2 to 1), contact time, prerequisite; to move 1 cr-hr of technical writing from CE 460 to CE 660 (CE students) and CE 619 (Env Eng students).  (Received 4/24/01?) OK OK
CEEGS CE 619 C "Environmental Engineering Capstone Design".  Change number (519 to 619), title, cr-hrs (from 3 to 4), prerequisites; to meet ABET requirement for capstone design; see also CE 460 above.  (Received 4/19/01?) OK OK
CEEGS GS 838 N "Algorithms in Map Generalization".  Introduce PhD students to research in important subfield of cartography.  (Received 4/30/01?) OK OK
CIS 101 C "Computer-Assisted Problem Solving".  Change exclusion to permit students with credit for CIS 100 to take 101, since 100 has no problem-solving objective and hence little overlap with 101.  (Received 4/5/01?) OK OK
CIS 221 C "Software Development Using Components".  Change general info statement to prevent possible student confusion about programming language taught.  (Received 4/25/01?) OK OK
CIS 222 C "Development of Software Components".  Change description to better reflect course content; remove old exclusion; change general info statement to prevent possible student confusion about programming language used.  (Received 4/25/01?) OK OK
CIS 321 C "Case Studies in Component-Based Software".  Change title, description to better reflect course content; change general info statement to prevent possible student confusion about programming language used.  (Received 4/25/01?) OK OK
ME 774 N "Smart Materials and Intelligent Systems".  Significant interest in these topics from industry; competitor universities already have adopted new courses in this area; tabled at Wi01 CCAA meeting to request concurrence from EE and CE, since obtained with comments from CE  that have been incorporated.  (Received 11/30/00?) OK OK
