Other Agenda Items

  • CCC FAQ has been updated -- No more impossible "Student Ready" Syllabus requirement
  • Note from the Chair: Please do not copy the Provost's office on emails to me about courses submitted in ECAS. They already waste enough of my time without having them involved before the courses even leave the college.
  • Motion by the Chair
    • The College of Science and Engineering (CSE) hereby reaffirms its long-standing desire to have the Chair of the CSE Curriculum Committee (CC) give approval to new courses and to changes to courses in ECAS as the Chair sees fit in order to expedite the approval and scheduling process. Any such Provisional Approvals carry the full weight and effect of the CSE CC and the CSE Faculty Assembly (FA) and they will be formally acted on at the next regularly scheduled meetings of these bodies. In addition, CSE also reaffirms its desire to have all new courses and course changes approved by the CSE CC approved in ECAS before the CSE FA acts.
    • Approved Unanimously
  • Combine GEOE and CE subject courses into a new CEGE subject
    • Can be done by central programmatically.
    • V. Provost Emily Ronnin agrees with rational for new designator of CEGE -- 2014-4-15.
    • Suggested effective date of Fall 2015
    • Approved
