Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
APC Document 31: Change
course description for E 115
Effective Date: Fall 2009
1. Delete: On page 134, the description for E 115:
115 Introduction
to Computing Environment (1)
Fundamentals
of the EOS System. Software and services available on the system. Network hardware
configuration, on-line help and communication, file and directory manipulation.

Add:
On page, 134, in place of
deleted entry:
115 Introduction
to Computing Environment (1)
Introduction
to the NC State computing system, and to student-owned computing resources.
Includes topics such as maintaining your own computer, learning about
campus-based computing resources and applications (how to access and use them),
ethics
and professionalism in the use of computing resources, introduction to web
development and other campus resources. (Grading: S/U). Fall and Spring.
Impact:
There
will be no impact on the resources and staffing of the Engineering program due
to this change. The content of the course remains largely unchanged, but the
course description is being updated to better represent its content.
Rationale:
This
course is part of the Engineering curriculum at NCSU. The description change is
requested to match a change being made to the NCSU catalog. Making this change to the UNC Asheville
catalog will maintain consistency between the catalog listings for courses included
in the JEM program.
