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.
