- Chemistry 103. The College of Engineering is considering several options for the college-wide Chem 103 requirement. One possibility: "All departments review their program of study and make changes as necessary (due with Academic Catalog review changes in late fall). Those who want their students to take the lab(s) will keep the requirement as is. Those who don’t mind if their students do/don’t take the lab(s) will remove the CHEM 103/105 requirement. The extra 1 – 2 credit hours could be free elective credit or tech elective." CHEM 10x Lab Waiver.docx.
...
Proposed Compromise Measure (as an attempt to keep the first two years of EE and CE majors synchronized): Instead of requiring Chem 102/103 of all students, we should require that all students, in either Electrical or Computer Engineering majors, must take EITHER Chem 102+103 OR Math 257 (linear algebra).
Conclusion: Committee Chair will write up a summary of the compromise measure, and of the background knowledge necessary to understand it. He will send this information to the Curriculum Committee for comment, and once CC comments have been processed, will send it to the rest of the department for comment.
