See below:



  1. Attach Course Outline according to the GPC common course outline. Attached

Justification:


  1. During the discussions of RETP program with GA TECH it was suggested that students transferring to GA Tech under this program have the knowledge in using Matlab for engineering problem solving. They have two courses CS1171 - 1 credit course and CS1371-3 credit course. Their experience with CS1171 was not satisfactory and it was not helping students to take any engineering course in GA TECH. Majority of engineering courses in all engineering disciplines require CS1371 be taken first. The new course is developed on the outlines of CS1371. Completing the new course at GPC will enable students transferring to GA Tech under RETP to begin taking engineering courses right away after transfer. Otherwise students are required to show competence in the use of Matlab either thru CS1171 or CS1371 before they can take any engineering course.



  1. Many RETP participating colleges provide the instructions in Matlab at various levels. Some have separate course and others include them in curriculum of one or more engineering courses




  1. External reviewers have suggested that GPC offer more engineering courses.




  1. A majority of engineering schools use Matlab in engineering courses at undergraduate and graduate level




  1. The course is designed and proposed in order to have it equivalent to CS1371 at GA Tech.

There are 35 students who have filled out RETP forms now but there are over 150 students taking engineering courses in fall 2006. Since at least 50% of them will be interested in transferring to GA TECH under RETP we expect a steady stream of students for this course. We intend to offer at least one section each semester of this course.


Cost: $50/license per year. Approx 35 site licenses will cost $8750 over five years.
Alternative: Students buy student version and install minimum system on thumb drives.
