JUSTIFICATION:
In the spring of 2010, the Utah State Board of Regents gave Weber State University permission to offer its first degree in engineering. As part of the program’s proposal to the State Board of Regents for the Electronics Engineering (EE) degree, it was agreed that the university would phase out the AAS and BS degrees in Computer Engineering Technology (CET). These two degrees were approved for phase out in the spring of 2011.
The Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology (CEET) is no longer a department. The Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program is now part of the Engineering Technology Department. As a result of a reduction in faculty numbers from the cancellation of the CET program and the transition of other faculty to the EE program it is necessary to revise the EET program, eliminating courses in the CET emphasis area. A prefix change will follow to change courses from a CEET to EET prefix.
Proposed changes:
1. Remove the requirement for CEET 1105 Personal Computer Fundamentals (4).
2. Remove CEET 2000 Engineering Seminar (1).
3. Move the MATH requirement to the GenEd section.
4. Change the GenEd Physical Science (3) to a Life Science (4). Students that continue on into the BS EET will take a five credit hour Physics course, PHY 2210 (5) and can fill the remaining GenEd requirement of nine (9) PS/LS credits with the four credit hour Life Science.
5. Add in the GenEd requirement for CA/HU (3) to the Gen Ed requirements.
