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.
Fourth year
No change
Stream specific
No change
