Course number and title (Units)
Description exactly as listed in catalog (see website).
Prereqs and co-reqs by course, as listed in catalog
List of topics from pre-req courses that are needed for this course
5 quarter units. 4 units lecture (200 minutes), 1 unit lab (150 minutes).
Note: most courses will have this breakdown, update as needed if your
course does not.
Options are: Required for CE|CS|EE, Selective elective for CE|CS|EE, Elective for CE|CS|EE.
Selected elective is an elective that is chosen from a list in the major requirements (most of our electives are this way in the catalog)
Elective would be any course not listed in the major requirements in the catalog (e.g. CMPS 340 would be an elective for CS students because it's not in the list of elective courses in the catalog for the CS track)
Note: A course might have multiple types (e.g. CMPS 321 is Required for CS and Required for CE)
List textbook title, author, publication year at minimum.
List recommended textbooks and any other materials recommended for course
This will be the people designated to develop the course syllabus and ABET
assessment rubrics during the 2012/13 academic year (see ABET document on
department website)
List the student learning outcomes from the ACM/IEEE Body of Knowledge and/or
specific learning outcomes for the course. See the handouts of the ACM/IEEE
Body of Knowledge that Marc put in your mailboxes for more information.
Instructions:
Select just the performance indicators (PIs) relevant to your course, as
indicated in the ABET planning document. Indicate how the course
addresses each PI.
Important: Make sure to use descriptive language that reflects the
specific learning outcomes assessed by the PI (e.g. Apply vector calculus
to analyze electrostatic fields). Don't just describe the direct measure.
Use verbs from Bloom's taxonomy whenever possible.
CAC is the Computer Science PIs. EAC is the Computer and Electrical
Engineering PIs. Note that there is PI overlap between these two groups,
indicated by having both PIs listed inside the parentheses. If your course
is just a CS or just a CE/EE course, pare the PIs down to just that PI.
