§
Reminder that
university senate elections for ChE, ECE, IE, and MSE should be completed and
the information sent to Chris Murray by 2/3/03.

for the faculty; Eckert seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. EFD 22-00 was approved for the faculty.
§
EFD
22-00 ECE New Course ECE 437 Computer Design and Prototyping
It was noted that a hard copy of the email summary of
documents available online for faculty review was inadvertently not distributed
to the faculty for EFD 22-00 (CFR minutes #959, 2/15/02). A hard copy summary will be distributed for
future documents.
5. Huggins proposed using an electronic approval
process on an experimental basis for final EFD approval for the faculty and
deletion of courses that have not been offered in many years. An electronic voting mechanism will be
provided and discussion of a course will be moved to a meeting agenda if
requested by one committee member. This
process was approved on an experimental basis until the first meeting of the
fall semester where the process will be reviewed.
6. Eckert moved that EFD 24-01 be approved for
distribution to the faculty; Montgomery seconded the motion. After discussion Huggins moved that EFD 24-01
be returned to ChE for review of the C grade requirement in ChE 205 and course
catalog footnotes. It was suggested that
the proposed biology requirement and the proposed C grade requirement be
separate faculty documents.
§
EFD 24-01 was
returned to ChE.
7. The meeting was
adjourned at 1:40 p.m.
