Editor Comments: New:  auto save feature is a mess.
Old:  <no text provided>
Proposal Changes: New:  This class has had a pre-requisite of just 'CSE Student' previously. We are wishing to ensure that only UD CSE students can access some of our 3xxx classes, including EE 3025. This is due to some recent issues where non eligible ECE students have been able to access and take UD EE classes to force themselves into our majors; this impacts fairness of access, circumvents admission processes and undermines the Academic Advising we offer students. We wish to close out this loophole. The change is made with the approval of Professor Leger (DUGS), Professor Bazargan on behalf of the ECE Curriculum Committee and on the recommendation of Dave Finlayson (CSE).

Proposal Changes: New:  This class has had no pre-requisite to date. We are wishing to ensure that only UD CSE students can access some of our 3xxx classes, including EE 3115. This is due to some recent issues where non eligible ECE students have been able to access and take UD EE classes to force themselves into our majors; this impacts fairness of access, circumvents admission processes and undermines the Academic Advising we offer students.

Grading Basis: New:   A-F or Aud
Old:   A-F only
Proposal Changes: New:  Only change is updating grade basis options from "A-F only" to "A-F or AUD," per the instructor's request.
Old:  Switching from spring to fall course beginning Fall 2015. Because of semester shift, we need to change the prereqs. Previously a fall course, BMEn 5411, was a hard prereq, but now they are offered in the same semester. So the instructor is updating the content so that 5411 is no longer a prereq, and we have updated the prerequisites accordingly.
