Rationale: Add EE 47100, Introduction to Digital Image Processing, as a choice in the Computation & Signal Processing track. Rationale: It fits the subject of the track very well. Add Eco 10400, Introduction to Quantitative Economics, as a choice for the Practice/Ethics elective. Rationale: Many of the options are currently not available — only Engr 27600 (Engineering Economics) and EE 43800 (Management Concepts for Engineers) are offered, the latter usually only in summer. CSc 37500 (Social Issues in Computing) and Phil 34902 (Computer Ethics) are no longer offered. Engr 30000 (Impact of Biomedical Technology) now has an anatomy prerequisite, making it unavailable to CpE majors. The CSc major already allows Eco 10400 and Engr 27600 as alternatives for its economics option. Add ENGL 21007 (Writing for Engineering) as a required course in the major instead of a General Education requirement. Rationale: With the advent of Pathways in the Fall of 2013, ENGL 21007 was categorized as a Writing course in the General Education classification. However, within the current Pathways framework, any composition course would be able to satisfy this Pathways requirement, and students would not have to take Writing for Engineering which is essential in the training of students for the engineering profession. Since the Grove School of Engineering is following Pathways rules for the General Education component of its curriculum including regulations as pertinent to transfer students, some students would be at risk of losing their Financial Aid eligibility if ENGL 21007 is deemed as already been satisfied by another (non--‐equivalent) composition course and the Grove School of Engineering still requires such students to take the said course (ENGL 21007). To ensure that the course (ENGL 21007) is considered contributory since it is a core course in the major, ENGL 21007 is explicitly being identified as a required course in the Computer Engineering major.

Description Description While international relations specialists assert correctly that cooperation is more common in the international system than conflict, the fact is that conflict, in particular its extreme manifestation in overt physical violence or war, is the most salient, disruptive and troubling occurrence in international relations. Although interstate wars are not as prevalent today as in the past, human security is still in jeopardy because of civil wars, terrorism are the new concern, ecological threats, poverty, disease, human rights violations and the general effects of bad governance. While it is not possible in one course to cover all aspects of conflict/security, this course focuses on four aspects: 1) theories that help us understand why conflict occurs and how it can be prevented/managed; 2) analyses of selected interstate wars as well as intrastate conflicts, applying theory to help us understand them; and an analysis of selected issues in broader aspects of human security such as cybersecurity and environmental security.

Far from eroding as a result of globalization, ethnic, national, and religious sources of allegiance have only grown in importance, making such politically salient identities essential to understand. Topics include ethnic conflict, the rise of nationalism, and religious violence.

When do differences between groups promote cooperation, and when do they instead generate conflict? What makes a nation, what is its relationship to the state, and what are the causes and consequences of nationalism in global politics?

In particular such issues as global warming, ozone depletion, biodiversity, deforestation, and the links between environment and economic development are addressed. Latin America contains much of the planet's rainforests and biodiversity, hence has a great concern for "green" environmental issues. It is also urbanizing at a rapid rate and must address the "brown" environmental issues associated with rapid city growth and industrialization. Many of the cases read and examples cited during the course are drawn from Latin American context.

What does Social Contract theory state? How does the social contract theory justify political obedience? On a more contemporary note, is it possible to see the relevance of social contract theory today in a world of political extremism?

Description How does political thought change its form and direction when we consider it from a feminist perspective? How does adopting a feminist perspective on politics make a difference to how we think about and practice politics? In this course, we will read a wide range of political thinkers and scholars, from Harriet Taylor Mill and John Stuart Mill to such modern thinkers and writers as Mary Shanley and Drucilla Cornell, to study how feminist political thought has changed over time and how it has taken account of the changing roles of women in political thought and action.

Description How do the presence and awareness of women change political thought and the practice of politics? This course analyzes the connection between politics and everyday life – particularly as it concerns women’s participation -- and asks whether and how this interaction can increase the practice of democracy. As we read works from Plato to Harriet Taylor Mill to modern thinkers who explore the nitty-gritty of women’s activities, we focus on the implication of feminist political thought for the theory and practice of democratic politics.
