Revision as of 13:21, 8 February 2019 by Jkinne (talk | contribs) (Jkinne moved page Proposed Revisions to BS to Proposed Revisions to BS and MS)
Below are proposed revisions to the CS BS degree.
Note that the current major includes 10 courses required of all majors, 5 additional courses required for information science, 3 CS courses required of computing science, and 2 math courses required for computing science.
Open question - prerequisite structure. Things that required 201 now require 260 and/or 303/451?
Contents
Required for all CS Majors
- Retain from current requirements
- CS 151 (3) Intro to Programming, CS 470 (4) Programming Languages
- Modifications of current requirements
- CS 303 (4) - currently Discrete Structures, change to Intro to Theory of Computation ("theory lite")
- CS 451 (4) - currently Architecture, change to Intro to Systems ("systems lite"), Change # to be 351?
- CS 499 (4) - currently Senior Seminar, change to Senior Design, have students take it their last two semesters
- New requirements
- CS 260 (4) Object-Oriented Programming
- Total - 3+20 = 23 credits of CS
Information Science Concentration
- Retain from current requirements
- CS 170 (4) Web Programming, CS 469 (4) Unix/Linux Administration and Networking, CS 479 (4) Web Programming II
- New requirements
- CS 101 Fundamentals of Computing, CSS 211 Intro to Computer Security, CSS 331 Files and Database Systems, CSS 210 Intro to Networking
- Total - 24 credits of CS
Computing Science Concentration
- Retain from current requirements
- CS 201 (4) Computer Science I, CS 202 (4) Computer Science II, MATH 131 (4) Calculus I, MATH (4) 132 Calculus II
- Modifications of current requirements
- CS 458 (4) - currently Algorithms, becomes Algorithms and Theory of Computation
- CS 456 (4) Systems Programming - becomes 4 credit hours
- New requirements
- Additional mathematics - choose 6 credits from - MATH 241 Principles of Statistics, MATH 313 Elementary Linear Algebra, MATH 341 Probability and Statistics, MATH 252 Programming in Mathematics
- Total - 16 credits of CS, 8+6 = 14 credits of math
Data Science
New concentration
- Retain from current requirements
- CS 457 Database Processing, CS 475 Artificial Intelligence, MATH 131 Calculus I, MATH 132 Calculus II
- New requirements
- MATH 313 Elementary Linear Algebra, MATH 341 Probability and Statistics
- CS 401 Programming for Data Science I (need to create 400 level version)
- What else?
- Could also use, but would need to create the 400 level version and confirm with Math group and department chairperson
- MATH 403/503 Linear Algebra and Modeling for Data Science and Analytics, MATH 440/540 Statistics for Data Science and Analytics
- Something else new?
- Could also use, but would need to create the 400 level version and confirm with Math group and department chairperson
- Total - 9 credits of CS, 8+6 = 14 credits of math
No Longer Required
Courses that are no longer required in any concentration. Can be banked if we don't plan to offer.
- CS 452 Software Engineering, CS 471 Operating Systems, CS 420 Theory of Computation, CS 421 Formal Methods, CS 473 Computer Networks
- Total - 5 courses, 15 credits
