One idea, for instance, is an Interface Design class or an HCI class that would serve all the students of (formerly) TAD and ID. To repeat, students in both streams would now be in ONE class instead of two separate classes.

Student Pathways Page

DGr: This page contains individual faculty member's suggested courses of study for speicifc student outcomes.

We decided to dispense with streams in the meeting of July 20, therefore allowing us opportunity for more synergistic undergrad classes. Thus, the charge was to bring 4-5 ideas for courses that could bridge streams -- that is, to be synergistic. One idea, for instance, is an Interface Design class or an HCI class that would serve all the students of (formerly) TAD and ID. To repeat, students in both streams would now be in ONE class instead of two separate classes.

Perhaps I was not clear, as the results are the same classes that we've long been discussing, each arising from a stream.


Upper Division Classes

[note: I took the liberty of numbering the courses. This makes it easier to represent paths (see below). I also renamed the courses to "Upper Division" rather than "Year Three" - Ron]
