Additional Discussion Points
- Minutes of 2008-12-1 meeting were approved.
- Chemistry is still hoping to get Environmental Theme approval
for CHEM 1021. Prof. Gray (he is on the CLE committee) believes this is
eventually going to happen. He points out is that a key part of any proposal is
inclusion in the syllabus that the importance of the course meeting the CLE
requirements will be taught.

Old: Only include CCE Catalog Description in
CCE Catalog. Covers theories and mechanism of
programming language processing tools, especially compilers which translate
programs written in high level lanuiages to machine codes or other low level
codes. It studies general organization of the compiler which consists of
a lexical scanner, a syntax parser, a symbol table, an internal representation
of the program and a code generator. The course explains the relationship
between designing the grammar for a programming language and implementing it in
a compiler. It also discusses the run-time memory management mechanism
used by compilers. |
