Charge to the Committee
The Curriculum Committee exists for two reasons:
- Shared governance. Committee members are a channel of communication between their Area Committees and the Department Head. They should ensure that each area is aware of, and contributes to decisions about new temporary and permanent courses, technical electives, and advanced computing electives, and changes to the common core.
- Identifying and managing friction points. If, e.g., lower-level courses provide inadequate preparation, or students have inadequate hours, the Curriculum Committee helps to find a maximum-utility solution. On rare occasions, this may involve re-structuring the curriculum; more frequently, it requires minor adjustments.
