Other Agenda Items

  • Environmental Engineering Degree proposal -- for information only
  • Problems with CCC process -- see agenda-summary (pdf)
  • D vs C- in prerequisites, and from SCEP:
    One thing that can be considered that is well short of uniform University
    policy is the following - how would this fly in CSE:
    
    a) a recommendation that programs or colleges have policies (so students
    know what to expect within their program or college),
    
    and
    
    b) reminding that instructors or depts can grant exceptions to whatever
    their policy is if they think there are special circumstances (for ABET
    reasons, I think this would best be done with some sort of documentation in
    the student file - that of course is the cost of policies and ABET!)
    
    • CSE CC will ask the CSE ASSA to formulate a statement on this.
