ECE Curriculum Committee Meeting Minutes for March 9, 2007

Visitor:Yoram Bresler

1. Yoram Bresler, in his role as the ECE representative to, and Chair of, the College of Engineering-Math Liaison Standing Subcommittee, met with the Curriculum Committee to solicit our thoughts on some issues before his Committee.
   • The Curriculum Committee expressed the opinion that our courses ECE 313, Math 487 (codeveloped with our faculty), ECE 490, ECE 534, and the graduate Information Theory and Coding Theory classes should be allowed for elective credit in the Math Minor.
   • It was felt that students who come in with advanced placement credit and take the honors math course the first semester as now required should have the option to switch to the normal track in subsequent semesters.
   • Embedding engineering professors into teaching the calculus sequence is impractical/not a good idea/won't work.
2. The Committee adjourned at 11:47 AM.
