Potential changes/updates to CS undergraduate programs to submit during 2024-2025.

Current program and prereqs - https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1Rfav0yzAcbAlarNgqksXUuhXicmXH_m--Uqir7w9Y1k

ECT 130 - needs to be offered every semester, if it is the first course in the major.

ECT 438 - do we want current CS majors to take this for HIP? Possibly for 2025-2026 - they would take 437 in the fall and 438 in the spring.

CS minor, CS teaching minor, CS certificate - where CS 101 was required, make it an or with ECT 130

Courses with 1 credit lab - get rid of the lab?

4 credit courses (201, 203, 302) - keep them 4 credit or change back to 3?

Longest prereq chains...

  • 417 (f) - 401 - 302 (f) - 203/201 - 151 - ECT 130
  • 471/473 (f) - 456 - 302 (f) - 203/201 - 151 - ECT 130

If a student starts in the fall with ECT 130, they finish in 7 semesters in the DS or CS tracks.

Consider making 417 coreq to 401, or 401 coreq to 302. Consider making 471/473 not have 456 as a prereq. Consider having 456 coreq with 302.

Courses that are never offered, should we bank them? See Courses that are listed as not regularly being offered.

Undergrad BS...

  • Core: ECT 130(2), CS 151, 201(4), 203(4), 302(4), 351(4), 470. Math 241. ECT 430(1), 437, 438. That is 34 hours.
  • __ hours of 400 level CS courses.

Course offerings. Note that CS 331 is about the same as ECT 301 (fall course); CS 210 is about the same as ECT 306 (spring class, ECT 301 prereq) or ECT 373 (fall class, ECT 231 prereq); CS 211 is about the same as ECT 374 (spring class).

CSS courses - if they are still required, make it - CS or CSS.
