Agenda:
Courses proposed for addition to the non-ECE Technical Electives list:
- IE 421 "High Frequency Trading Tech" - We considered this course earlier in the semester. The committe had positive comments on this course, but members wished to have a better idea on what assignments or projects are about. The instructor of the course was able to collect the videos of the final group presentations and post them on Box at: https://uofi.box.com/s/3cat9qcavjmyattqytiaxy49lfjp0ift
- GGIS 407 / GEOG 407 "Foundations of CyberGIS & Geospatial Data Science" - Intended to introduce students to CyberGIS – Geospatial Information Science and Systems (GIS) based on advanced cyberinfrastructure as well as the state of the art in high-performance computing, big data, and cloud computing in the context of geospatial data science. Students will use CyberGISX, which is an innovative cyberGIS framework for conducting data-intensive, reproducible, and scalable geospatial analytics with Jupyter Notebook as its primary user environment. Students are expected to learn how to develop Jupyter notebooks to analyze and visualize geospatial data using leading-edge cyberGIS software and python libraries. Emphasis is placed on learning the cutting-edge advances of cyberGIS and its underlying geospatial data science principles. Same as GEOL 407. 4 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours.
This course is also part of various completely online graduate/certificate programs of the Department of Geography & Geographic Information Science https://ggis.illinois.edu. In GGIS 407 students also get introduced to Hadoop.

Review of course revision/new course
- The curriculum committee approved during last academic year to advance ECE 398 RI "Fields and Waves: Virtual Reality Laboratory" submitted by Raluca Ilie, for permanent number by revising the existing ECE 328. During the approval process, the College of Engineering has determined that, since ECE 328 had been dormant for too long, the Provost office requests submission as new course rather than a course modification.
