1) AY0506-1: Create an Engineering core concentration<br />
2) AY0506-2: Create an Engineering minor<br />
3) AY0506-3: Create a Computer Science core concentration<br />
4) AY0506-4: Create a Computer Science minor<br />
c. Proposed curriculum changes:<br />
Tony Ruocco explained the two proposed curriculum changes, both of which involve<br />
computer science majors. These changes are internal (<strong>SECCM</strong>) changes which do not<br />
affect any other segment of the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
1) AY0607-1 (T. Ruocco) – Replaces Physics 201/202 with a variety of other<br />
courses<br />
2) AY0607-2 (T. Ruocco) – Remove the required math minor in order to allow<br />
students more flexibility in selecting courses.<br />
A vote was taken.<br />
Curriculum change AY 0607-1 passed unanimously.<br />
Curriculum change AY 0607-2 passed unanimously.<br />
d. Proposals for discussion/further study:<br />
1) Development of a graduate program in building sciences – The format of a<br />
Master’s degree in Construction has been considered. We are now in the process<br />
of developing the program framework. The program will most likely be fed by<br />
graduates from Construction Management, Architecture, Business, and Civil<br />
Engineering. A meeting will be held once the framework is put together.<br />
2) Addition of a computer science course to the engineering curriculum – The<br />
abilities of our students need to be addressed – discussion is deferred to a future<br />
time.<br />
e. Concern: Adequacy of MATH 207, Applied Calculus, for ENGR 210:<br />
The Math faculty argue that MATH 207 has a different focus than MATH 213 and<br />
does not prepare a student adequately for MATH 214. The CM program adopted<br />
MATH 207 in place of MATH 213 which involves an absence of some material that<br />
the Engineers are seeing. Janet (Baldwin) is not concerned with the absence of theory<br />
(such as Matrices) and the emphasis on solving problems.<br />
f. General Discussion – All material covered. No further discussion.
