* ''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.
