  • Describe the Proposed Course/Change (attach any relevant documents)*

    When semester conversion took place in 2007, the old ETEC 477 Concurrency course was effectively combined with the three course sequence ETEC 371, 372, 373 and resulted in  two semester courses with the  titles "ETEC 3701 Operating Systems 1" and "ETEC 3702 Operating Systems 2." However, the subject matter in 3702 has been consistently more oriented toward concurrency, so the change in title and course description more closely aligns to actual practice.

  • Explain the rationale for this proposal (attach any relevant documents)*

    The change to title and description give a more accurate sense of the topic converage as has been practiced in the course for a considerable time period. The change to prerequisites reflects the actual level of preparation students require for the class.

  • How will the proposed change affect other departments/programs/courses? (attach any relevant documents)*

    None.
