etc., will be done on an as-needed basis during the year. |
In progress (Weide) |
ASE Grad Minor course changes (Weide) |
9/23/05: Several minor course changes will be
required to fully implement the Applied Software Engineering Graduate Minor,
a proposal for which was approved by Fac in Sp05. Weide will work
with ECE to make sure they endorse the proposal, and will recommend specific
course changes, in Au05.
3/7/06: CC discussed and recommended a list of changes; faculty approval by e-mail after one week.

All approvals completed as of 6/21/06 |
CSE 294A: Computing Fundamentals in Context: Digital
Images and Sound; and CSE 294I: Computing Fundamentals in Context: Creative
Interactive Media (Bair, Bucci, Heym) |
9/23/05: Tentative plans to pilot a new service
course, patterned after Mark Guzdial's intro course at Ga Tech, were shelved
last year; these should be revisited. Weide will check with Bair
and Bucci to see if they still want to do this.
11/29/05: Ideas discussed by CC. Bair and Bucci will pursue some of these ideas and report back.
1/25/06: Heym will be involved in a related development on interactive multimedia, e.g., games; to be discussed in early Sp06.
4/11/06: CC discussed and approved Heym's proposal for CSE 294I:
"Computing Fundamentals in Context: Creative Interactive Media" for Au06
pilot offering.
5/2/06: CC discussed and approved Bucci's proposal for CSE 294I: "Computing
Fundamentals in Context: Digital Images and Sounds" for Au06 pilot offering.

|
All approvals completed as of 6/26/06 |
CSE H680 (Mathias) |

to be taught Sp06. Plan from last year is to phase out CSE H221 and
CSE H222 as these are phased in.

11/18/05; funding approved by Honors & Scholars as of 11/18/05; approvals complete and on schedule as of 12/5/05 |
CSE 694K -> 651: Network Security (Arora, Xuan) |
10/21/04: Review of Sp04 offering was conducted,
and CC recommends second pilot offering in Sp05.
10/3/05: Course was offered again in Sp05. Weide has asked
coordinators to be ready for a review in early Au05.
10/18/05: Will be considered at CC meeting on Nov 15.
11/15/05: Approved by CC as CSE 651: Network Security. Weide will ask for faculty approval.

All approvals completed as of 2/14/06

CSE 694L: Introduction to Data Visualization (Crawfis,
Machiraju) |
10/28/04: Review of Sp05 pilot was conducted.
CC recommends, consistent with wishes of the faculty offering the course,
to offer a third pilot in Sp05 to consolidate the best features of the
first two pilots.
10/3/05: Weide has asked coordinators to be ready for a review
in early Au05.
10/18/05: Crawfis prefers that the course will not be offered
in Sp06; it might be offered every other year, though, so CC should take
it up again before the end of this academic year. |
In progress (Crawfis, Machiraju) |
CSE 762: Advanced Operating System Laboratory (Agrawal) |
10/5/05: Agrawal would like to review Sp05 offering
and propose title and description change; this will be discussed by CC
at Nov 8 meeting.
11/8/05: Proposed changes approved by CC; Weide will ask for faculty concurrence.
1/6/06: Weide finally got around to asking Fac; oops!
|
All approvals completed as of 3/7/06 |
CSE 778 prerequisite change (Soundarajan, Sadayappan) |
9/23/05: CSE 778 probably should have ECE 567
as a prerequisite, since that course is required of all CSE majors.
Weide will work with Soundarajan and Saday to get this taken care of in
Au05. |
In progress (Weide, Soundarajan,
Sadayappan) |
CSE 794J: Applied Enterprise IT Architectures (Ramanathan)
|
1/17/06: CC discussed and approved offering
this course as a pilot in Au06; Ramanthan will work with Reeves and Weide
to prepare the paperwork.
|
All approvals completed as of 5/26/06
|
CSE 794L: Foundations of Spoken Language Processing (Fosler-Lussier) |
3/28/05:After review of a successful pilot in
Wi05, CC recommended that this course be piloted again in Wi06. Fosler-Lussier
will work with Reeves to get the paperwork submitted for this.
9/23/05: Course is planned for Wi06. After Wi06 offering,
course will be reviewed again by CC in Sp06.
4/25/06: Agreed to offer as CSE 633 in alternate years, and
to change CSE 732 to alternate years with number CSE 632; will be taken up
again in Au06 to make official recommendation and faculty vote.
|
In progress (Fosler-Lussier, Byron, Weide) |
CSE 794R: Applied Enterprise Distributed Computing for
Engineers and Scientists (Bucci) |
10/4/05: Bucci will teach this every-even-year
course in Sp06 (since Sivilotti is on leave); it probably should be made
permanent after this offering, since this will be the third time it is
taught -- but this time it is by a different faculty member. Weide
will contact Bucci to schedule a time for CC review of the last offering
in Sp04.
1/31/06: CC reviewed last offering and approved a Sp06 final offering before making permanent; will be cross-listed with ECE 694R.
|
All approvals completed; course being offered in Sp06 |
Course Groups and Curricula |
Artificial Intelligence course group report (Davis, Fosler-Lussier) |
5/31/05: Report discussion postponed until Au05
because of lack of time this year. Weide has asked AI group to present
this early in Au05.
10/5/05: CC will read the draft AI report and discuss it at
the Oct 18 meeting; Davis and Fosler-Lussier will only be able to make
part of the meeting because of class conflicts, but preliminary discussion
will simplify later consideration.
10/25/05: CC discussed this at the Oct 18 and Oct 25 meetings;
Fosler-Lussier and Davis will lead the group in making some revisions based
on the discussion, and report back when they have completed a new draft. |
In progress (Davis, Fosler-Lussier) |
Operating Systems course group report (?) |
10/25/05: This course group report was last done in 2004,
but changes in 762 that were proposed then should be incorporated.
Weide will find faculty to take the lead, since Mamrak has retired. |
In progress (Weide) |
Theory/Foundations course group report (Mathias) |
10/25/05: Weide will find faculty to take the
lead on this report, with a late Wi06 deadline.
11/15/05: David Mathias has agreed to lead the effort and report in Wi06.
2/14/06: CC discussed and recommended minor revisions to the report; subsequently accepted as revised.

Policies and Miscellaneous |
Syllabus change to replace "objectives" with "outcomes"
(Soundarajan, Weide) |
9/23/05: The official CSE syllabi use the term
"Objectives" where it would be more accurate to call them "Intended Learning
Outcomes", consistent with ABET terminology.
10/4/05: Approved by CC; no further approvals needed. |
Completed |
Review course lab loads (Steele) |
9/23/05: Steele will poll the faculty on this;
it does not require CC action, but is a documentation update. |
In progress (Steele) |
Create detailed work flow process for course changes
and new course requests (Weide) |
10/17/05: Fosler-Lussier suggested a "policy flowchart"
to document the workflow for course changes and new course requests, including
pilot courses, so things don't get missed. Weide will work on this
after Jan 06. |
In progress (Weide) |
Create standard process for course group reports to be
incrementally updated (Weide) |
10/18/05: Soundarajan suggested that we need a
better way to do this, perhaps integrated with the syllabus database.
Weide will work on this after Jan 06. |
In progress (Weide) |
Create policy on cross-listing courses |
9/23/05: It is not clear that this is still
necessary. ECE is the most interested partner, and they have decided
they would generally prefer having courses listed separately in both departments
and working together on advertising, audience, etc. We would then
teach courses in alternate years if enrollments did not justify offering
them more often. So, this will be a back-burner issue for now. |
