**Decrease in elective credits by 0.5
**Honours only: COMP 3804
**Major only: 1.0 credits in COMP at the 3000-level or above


* ''Rationale:'' Core material has been integrated into first and second year core courses.  Third year core is being reduced to allow for more course offerings and more flexibility.  The addition of a project course satisfies the need for teamwork experience.  
* ''Rationale:'' In order to include a project that fully conveys the learning objectives, the course requires double the workload of a regular 0.5 credit course.

Proposed BCS Program Changes

First year

No change

Second year

  • Old:
    • COMP 2404 as Introduction to Software Engineering
  • New:
    • COMP 2404 as a systems programming course using C++ and Windows
  • Rationale: Group work, which is required for a true software engineering course, is a formidable challenge for second year students who have not yet developed the maturity and skills required to work as a team. This experience is better delayed until COMP 3004 in third year. ** add something about the usefulness of systems programming in Windows **

Third year

  • Old:
    • COMP 3004 as a 0.5 credit course
  • New:
    • COMP 3004 as a 1.0 credit course
    • Decrease in elective credits by 0.5
  • Rationale: In order to include a project that fully conveys the learning objectives, the course requires double the workload of a regular 0.5 credit course.
