HLAD 2xx: Introduction to Epidemiology, new course proposal
Comments: 1) Paperwork states that this is a required course, but no related
program was included; 2) We were wondering why there was no number yet
chosen for the course; 3) BIO 106 should be considered as a prerequisite
course; and 4) It was stated that a statement of support from those
associated with CLRA 501 was obtained, but it was not forwarded
Motion to approve with comments (Rescorla, Moore second); Motion passes

changed but there was no indication of what was to happen to the old number
Motion to approve all of the Nursing course revisions and the above program
revision as a package, with comments (Moore, Angell second); Motion
passes 5-0-0
College of Technology
The CET major (program revision) and the addition of a CET minor has been
tabled because the revision is still in discussion with COSC department
TETP 100: Teaching Impact of Design, Engineering, and Technology, new
course proposal
TETP 340: Teaching Introduction to Engineering Design, new course
proposal
Comments: 1) New course required but number of credits required in the
program is not changing. It is unclear how this can be the case. 2) There are
some prefix ambiguities with these two courses. Moore had a conversation
with someone in the department who clarified some of these concerns before
our CAC-S meeting. It appears that the real prefix for these courses is to be
TEDU, not TETP. This clarification should be made officially before the
courses move to a further stage.
Motion to approve as a package with comments (Moore, Rescorla second);
Motion passes (5-0-0)
Respectfully submitted,
Natalie Dove (CAC-S Secretary for 2012-2013)
