  1. The Curriculum Committee approved the minutes of the January 26, 2007 meeting.
  2. Steve Bishop gave the Curriculum Committee an overview of the current preparations for the ABET evaluations in the fall. He explained the information that will be collected from the faculty and the documents we'll need to prepare.
  3. Professor Andy Singer and Rhiannon Clifton from the Technology Entrepreneur Center discussed the series of courses that have been developed on entrepreneuring and technology management within the College of Engineering. Andy suggested that the Curriculum Committee should evaluate the courses for inclusion in the technical electives list for our students. He indicated his belief that these courses could handle a surge in enrollment from ECE should they become popular choices. After some discussion, the Committee indicated an interest in considering such a proposal and asked Andy and Rhiannon to make a specific proposal to the Curriculum Committee for further consideration.
  4. The Committee adjourned at 11:52 AM.
