• After brief discussion, CS 445 was approved as a technical elective.
• After brief discussion, CS 484 approved as a technical elective.
• The committee discussed the ABET self-evaluation:
  • An example of a completed summary review was provided to the committee to serve as a template.
  • It was pointed out that the core courses were well-represented, outside of ECE 329 and ECE 340. Kudeki and Makela will chase down these self-evaluations.
• The committee continued discussions of the subdisciplines
  • The discussion focused around how faculty members were identified wth the various sub disciplines. The current methodology appears to be a mixture of self-identification and suggestions from the area committees. After discussion, it was suggested that going forward, each faculty member could identify up to two area in their bio form. Areas would have input into who should be listed. Makela will discuss with IT how to make this change.
  • The committee discussed if the listing should be limited to active ECE faculty, only, or if a broader view of the listings should be taken. It was pointed out that maintaining a link to our strong history was beneficial from a recruiting standpoint.
• The meeting adjourned at 3:45pm.
