Telecommunications and Business Education - New Program Proposal for a Minor in Telecommunications; Name change within the Business Education Major, Business Systems Technologies Emphasis - From Office Technologies Emphasis to Business Systems Technologies; Name change within the Business Systems Technologies Minor AAS Degree and Bachelor of Integrated Studies Emphasis - From Office Technologies to Business Systems Technologies.
Less than a year ago, the Department was granted an Associates of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Telecommunications. A short time earlier, the Department was granted a Certificate in Telecommunications. The demand for a Minor in Telecommunications is supported by much of the same documentation as was used for those programs. This minor is needed as currently there is no Telecommunications Minor available in the State of Utah.

Motion: Moved to approve from Telecommunications and Business Education the New Program Proposal for a Minor in Telecommunications; Name change within the Business Education Major, Business Systems Technologies Emphasis - From Office Technologies Emphasis to Business Systems Technologies; Name change within the Business Systems Technologies Minor AAS Degree and Bachelor of Integrated Studies Emphasis - From Office Technologies to Business Systems Technologies.

Master of Public Accountancy - New Course Proposal for SEC Accounting - MPAcc-6250.
When the change was made from quarters to semesters, this course was not rolled forward as it didn’t appear that it was needed. After being without the course for three years, it was determined by the School of Accountancy faculty that its absence left a significant hole in the Masters of Professional Accountancy curriculum.

Motion: Moved to approve from the Master of Public Accountancy the New Course Proposal for SEC Accounting - MPAcc-6250.
Made: Erika Daines
Second: Bruce Christensen

Business Administration - New Course Proposal for Professional Development Workshop in Purchasing and Supply Management - LOM 5100.
The growing emphasis on logistics processes in business is accelerating the demand for certified purchasing managers. The certification requires a minimum level of experience plus successful completion of a four part exam administered by the National Association of Purchasing Management. This exam has just been updated for 2001. This course is designed to be a rigorous preparation for the new exam, incorporating descriptive/analytical material, quantitative material (make versus buy cost comparisons, the mathematics of incentive contracts, cost estimating and analysis, etc.), and emerging supply chain management practices. This course is designed to replace the existing LOM 1730 course.

Motion: Moved to approve from Business Administration New Course Proposal for Professional Development Workshop in Purchasing and Supply Management - LOM 5100.
Made: Bruce Handley
Second: Bruce Christensen
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

Information Systems & Technology - New Course Proposal for Computer Forensics - IS&T 4600; Change to an Existing Course - Name change from Information Technology Management to E-Business Technologies - IS&T 4410; Change in Major Emphasis - Name change from Networking Concentration to IS&T Information Security Concentration. The IS&T Business Advisory Council in October, 1999, urged the department to implement courses that covered the area of information security. The IS&T 4600 Computer Forensics course fills a gap in existing curriculum as it focuses not only on issues of creating a secure network, but also, includes the skill sets to detect, investigate and prevent cyber crime.
