From: Petr Lisonek, MSSC program coordinator
To: Faculty of Applied Sciences Undergraduate Curriculum Committee
Enclosed please find two proposed changes for the Management and Systems Science (MSSC) undergraduate program to be considered by the FAS UCC. This proposal was approved by the steering committee for the MSSC program. The committee currently consists of T. Heaps (Economics), P. Lisonek (Mathematics), E. Love (Business), D. Parker (Business), S. Pearce (Computing Science) and L. Weldon (Statistics and Actuarial Science).

Management and Systems Science Program
Major Program
Lower Division Requirements
FROM:
Computing Science
CMPT 126-3 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming
or both of
CMPT 120-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming I
CMPT-125-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II
plus all of
CMPT 150-3 Introduction to Computer Design
CMPT 225-3 Data Structures and Programming
CMPT 275-4 Software Engineering
TO:
Computing Science
CMPT 126-3 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming
or both of
CMPT 120-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming I
CMPT-125-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II
plus all of
CMPT 212-3 Object-Oriented Applications Design in C++
CMPT 225-3 Data Structures and Programming
CMPT 275-4 Software Engineering
Rationale:
The proposed change
is to replace CMPT 150 by CMPT 212 in the list of lower division
MSSC requirements.
CMPT 150 appears to be too much hardware/engineering
oriented for the MSSC program. (It is identical to ENSC 150.)
On the other hand the MSSC students feel the need to take an object-oriented
programming course.

Upper Division Requirements
FROM:
Students should note the prerequisites for these courses. However, BUS 237 and 336 are waived for MSSC majors and honors.
Note: BUEC 232, BUEC 333 and ECON 331 will not be accepted towards the 120 or 132 hours required for the MSSC major or honors degree.
TO:
Students should note the prerequisites for these courses. However, BUS 237 and 336 are waived for MSSC majors and honors.
MSSC 480 and MSSC 481 can not be taken concurrently.
Note: BUEC 232, BUEC 333 and ECON 331 will not be accepted towards the 120 or 132 hours required for the MSSC major or honors degree.
Rationale:
MSSC 480 and MSSC 481 have always been offered
as a joint seminar, and this is also the expectation for the future.
Since the students need credit for both courses,
they have to be cautioned that they can not earn credit for both
courses in a single semester.
