Program Educational Objectives (PEOs): Committee needs to discuss and approve, if possible, our existing PEOs. The current PEOs are as follows:
...
Moved and approved by the committee: The 2013 PEOs, and the list of four PEOs revised by the Curriculum Committee on 1/22/2019, will be sent to the Alumni Board for comment and reactions.

Relationship of PEOs to Student Outcomes (SOs): Committee needs to discuss.
...
Result of discussion: The SOs are an enumerated list of the "talents and knowledge" that will enable our students to "pursue a diverse range of careers," "continue their education," "learn and create knowledge," and "lead their professional disciplines, organizations, and communities globally." The SOs are thus a finer-grained description of the outcomes for individual students that support our program educational objectives.
Open Discussion
- One of the things that CC is charged to do this semester is to decide (1) should ECE 110 be modularized, (2) if so, how will this be accomplished, what will be the modules, etc.
One possible strategy: the course has three modules. Two modules are required (same for all students), one is open to student choice (many options).
2. Should we/ can we relax the Chemistry requirement.
One possibility: make it optional that students take a Materials Science course instead of Chemistry?
Q: how many students currently AP out of chemistry? Should those students be required to take something else?
