COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING COURSE AND CURRICULUM CHANGES To be considered at the College Course and Curriculum Meeting March 16, 2012 Edwards Conference 10:30 Undergraduate/Graduate Expedited and Non-Expedited Contact Person: James Goddard 532-3569 e-mail: goddard@ksu.edu Units that may be directly impacted by these changes: No units outside the college will be affected Communication Studies, Theatre and Dance Please provide the sponsors of a proposal change with any information regarding fiscal or programmatic impact on your department, program or students Expedited Course Proposals - Courses Numbered 000-599 Computing and Information Sciences Change: CIS 111, 200, 209, 300, 301, 308, 362, 415, 450, 501, 505, 520, 521, 523, 525, 526, 530, 536, 540, 541, 543, 544, 548, 551, 553, 560, 562, 570, 597, 598, 621, 622, 625, 635, 636, 638, 640, 645, 705, 706, 710, 720, 721, 722, 725, 726, 730, 734, 736, 740, 744, 746, 748, 750, 751, 753, 755, 761, 762, 764, 770, 771, and 775 Requisites: Append the following text to the prerequisite list: “Students may enroll in CIS courses only if they have earned a grade of C or better for each prerequisite to those courses.” Rationale: As a result of a Catalog revision in Spring 2009, the following text was inadvertently omitted from the CIS Department description: “Students may enroll in CIS courses only if they have earned a grade of C or better for each prerequisite to those courses.” With the earlier move to the electronic Catalog, this requirement had not been in a very visible location anyway. The proper way to correct the error seems to be to list this requirement explicitly in the prerequisites to each of our courses. We are requesting that this text be appended to the prerequisite in each case. Effective: Fall 2012. Impact: Because this does not reflect a policy change, there is no impact.

The inclusion of ECE 512 provides a more correct background for the material currently being taught in ECE 530. ECE 511 is dropped as pre-reqs since it is a pre-req for ECE 512 Impact (i.e. if this impacts another unit): No Non-Expedited UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM Change Department of Computing and Information Sciences Information Systems Curriculum and Computer Science Curriculum Drop: DEN 325 (1 Credit) Unrestricted Elective (2 Credits) Total Dropped Credits: 3 Add: Communication Elective (3 Credits) Total Added Credits: 3 Add the Following Note: The Communications Elective must be chosen from: COMM 326 Small Group Discussion Methods COMM 322 Interpersonal Communication MANGT 420 Management Concepts THTRE 261 Fundamentals of Acting THTRE 265 Fundamentals of Improvisation Rationale: DEN 325, Personal and Professional Development, is being phased out over the next year or two. This course has offered a number of potential benefits to students – expected standards of professional behavior in the workplace, insight into etiquette for professional situations, working in small teams, and others. While the majority of our students have jobs and internships before graduation, thus having some experience in professional settings, and derive some benefit from DEN325, consistent feedback from alumni, current students, and organizations hiring our graduates indicates that more developed interpersonal skills, both in interacting on small teams and individuals, would enhance our students’ value to their future employers. We therefore feel the need to increase our students’ confidence and abilities when interacting with others, particularly in group/professional settings with non-engineers. We note the existing curriculum requires public speaking (COMM 105 or COMM 106), for one to many interactions, and written communication (ENGL 516), which includes formal writing, email, and research. It is lacking, however, in small group skills or experience in reading and reacting to interpersonal interactions while maintaining a clear focus on the purpose of the interaction. We anticipate most students will take COMM 322, COMM 326, or MANGT 420 to satisfy the revised requirement, but THTRE 261 and THTRE 265 both offer more innovative options for developing interpersonal skills and increasing confidence. The heads of these departments have indicated they feel these classes would adequately address our needs. Effective: Fall 2012 Impact: We have been in contact with the Department of Communication Studies, Theatre, and Dance, and the Department of Management. Both have indicated that they are equipped to handle the additional load.
