1) Welcome & Attendance a) Recognition of New Panel Members - None 2) Zoom: Please mute yourself when not speaking, use the chat box to ask questions or easily add to the discussion, and drop a note in chat if you have to step away from the meeting for an extended period of time. 3) Course Review & Decision Options: a) Anything we need to discuss before looking at the submitted courses? b) Course Decision Options: Quick Accepts, Accepted, Conditional Approval, Not Enough Info, & Return 4) Panel Business a) Are changes needed for any of the panel’s current descriptors and/or course approval criteria? - Panel briefly discussed course bundles / 2 courses being submitted for approval under the CS 911 & 912 descriptors; will need more time to discuss in the future. - The topic of Fortran was discussed as the panel expects the teaching of programming languages which supports and includes OOP. The panel would like to have a broader discussion regarding the possibility of embedding Fortran as an option in the CS 911 descriptor. b) Outstanding / ongoing topics from previous panel meeting(s) ~ Discuss CS 915 Discrete Structures CS 915 - Discrete Structures: Ivan continues to be concerned about the extensive amount of content required for approval under this code compared to the GECC Math panel's M1905 descriptor and suggested changing the descriptor to provide options with a minimum number of topics required as provided in the M1905 descriptor as follows: Introduction to analysis of finite collections and mathematical foundations of sequential machines, computer system design, data structures and algorithms. Includes a minimum of 6 of the following: sets, counting, recursion, graph theory, trees, nets, Boolean algebra, automata, and formal grammars and languages. Prerequisite: C or better in college algebra. Malinda requested that Ivan draft suggested changes to the CS 915 descriptor and bring to the panel for consideration at the spring '23 panel meeting. Having this or another course such as CS 911 be an option for fulfilling the math requirement in the statewide GECC package was also discussed. In writing up the meeting summary, Malinda since realized that the following is already stated on the panel's major page therefore this may be a mute point: CS 915 - Discrete Structures (3-4 semester credits) may be used to fulfill IAI GECC requirements, if the course is also identified by your institution as an M1 905 - Discrete Math (3-4 semester credits) c) Updates d) Other discussion items from panel members - Ivan would like to explore adding a new descriptor in either Data Science or Quantway (which could be dually coded with the math panel's descriptor). Malinda explained that in order to create a new major descriptor, a majority of the public universities must offer the same course as lower division. Mary Elaine expressed concern that this may not be offered as a 100/200 level course at enough institutions. Ivan will create and share a Google doc and Tim will help with researching these questions, and Ivan will work on drafting a new data science descriptor so that the panel has something concrete to consider next spring. e) Next meeting(s): i) Spring '23 = Friday, April 28th, 2023, at 10:00 am to 2:30 via Zoom ii) Fall '23 = Friday, December 1st, 2023, at 10:00 am to 2:30 via Zoom and TBD _____________________________________ Panel Approval Ratio Panel: [Major] Computer Science Panel Semester Spring 2022 _____________________________________ Ongoing Courses = 19 New Courses = 5 Total Courses = 24 _____________________________________ Approved Ratio = 54.17% Conditional Approved Ratio = 8.33% Approved & Conditional Ratio = 62.50% Non-Approved Ratio = 37.50% Total Ratio = 100.00% Courses For Panel Review 8 New Courses 0 Resubmitted New Courses 21 Ongoing Review Courses 8 Resubmitted Ongoing Review Courses 37 Total Courses
