ECE Curriculum Committee Meeting Minutes for January 30, 2009

1. The Minutes of the December 8, 2008 meeting were approved.
2. The Committee began to review the ECE 398 proposal "Information Assurance and Trust Seminar" by Roy Campbell and Masooda Bashir, but had questions that required additional information from the proposers; the Chair was tasked with asking for further information.
3. Erhan Kudeki moved that ECE students be allowed to CS 125 for free elective credit; he argued that the restriction serves little purpose now that the transition to ECE 190 in our curricula is complete, that the current prohibition creates difficulties for transfer students, and is inconsistent with our treatment of introductory courses across the College. The Committee passed this proposal.
4. Erhan Kudeki presented a list of ECE courses proposed for Technical Elective credit. The list includes ECE 280, 297, 307, 313, 328, 390, 391, 395, 396, 397, 398, 402, 403, 410, 411, 412, 414, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 424, 425, 428, 430, 431, 432, 435, 437, 438, 439, 441, 442, 443, 444, 447, 448, 450, 451, 452, 453, 454, 455, 457, 458, 459, 460, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 473, 475, 476, 478, 480, 482, 483, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492, 493, 495, 497, 498, 499
