Each course report Reported on previous course specific recommendations. Included recommendations for future course offerings
Broader impact recommendations: CPE 387 – Embedded Systems
“It was noticed that some students do not register CpE 387 directly after finishing the microprocessors course CpE 286. There might be sometimes a difference of two or three semesters. It is recommended that students take CpE 387 directly after they finish CpE 286.”
CS 102 – Intro to Computing II (2007-2008) In response to the 2007-2008 recommendation, the matter was discussed in
the software thread committee and the following action taken: “Proving algorithmic correctness” was rejected as a topic in CS102 for three
main reasons: It allowed more coverage to sorting and complexity analysis It allowed more focus on the necessary OO and Java-language-specific topics
(this is also the first semester this course is being taught using Java vs. C++ which was the language of instruction earlier.
It was better-suited for the CS follow-on course, CS329, Introduction to Analysis of Algorithms.
Time constraints simply too great to over proving techniques and applications to algorithms.
