Impact on Students:
|
This plan of study will focus and better prepare the information technology student within the ABET accreditation guidelines. |
What other Academic Departments will be impacted?
|
This plan of study is part of the larger change to the IT curriculum that will create an interdisciplinary need for courses, and may create increased enrollment in other departments. Informal discussions have taken place with other School of Technology departments and related computer departments at Purdue University Calumet. |
Summarize any discussions with the departments listed above:
|
Course overlaps were discussed with ECET and none were found to exist. The courses were also discussed with the former CIS department faculty and department heads. No issues were found to exist. |
Impact on University Resources:
|
This plan of study will require faculty and laboratory resources. |
Impact on General Education Requirements:
|
General education requirements are satisfied and the plan of study includes: English 6 credits Math 9 credits Communication 3 credits Natural Science elective 3 or 4 credits Social Science Elective 3 credits Humanities Elective 3 credits Freshman Experience Course 3 Credits Humanities Elective is defined as one of the following: American History, English Literature, Modern Language, Philosophy, World History, World Literature, or Aesthetics (i.e. Fine Arts, Music, and Theater).
