- 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
