  • Status of proposal to CIT was discussed. Sanjay expressed a concern that few intent to submit proposals had been received. Sanjay discussed the possibility of submitting a general ISTeC proposal. Michael expressed a concern of ISTeC submitting proposals in the same competitive arena as faculty. It was clarified by Sanjay that he would not support ISTeC submitting proposals to the same grant competition as faculty, however he felt a sense of urgency to send in a “place holder” intent to apply so faculty could formulate an appropriate proposal. Michael agreed to work on a project that builds on the research committee’s data base project.
  • Pete provided an overview of the proposed sequence in Computer-Mediated Communication in Journalism and Technical Communication.
  • Pete presented a matrix of EAC recommendations from the ISTeC strategic plan. Pete and the committee discussed how the ISTeC strategic plan should be used to direct and inform the EAC’s plan of work. Pete suggested that we work towards prioritizing our work, informed by strategic plan. Discussion about how to prioritize and form our action plan will continue at the next meeting.
  • The committee discussed growing needs for web design and management courses on campus. The discussion revolved around looking at and creating similar courses in colleges throughout the university to take some pressure off of CIS and JTC. The committee discussed the role the EAC would or could play in achieving this goal.
  • Sanjay reported on the Engineering and Computing Education Grantee meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 3:15PM


Submitted; Michael A. De Miranda
