RE: Cog Sci Calendar Changes DATE: Feb 28, 2005
The following four calendar changes were approved by the Cognitive Science Steering Committee at meetings on December 2nd 2004, and February 3rd 2005. Based on your e-mail from last week, I have added some additional changes to be approved by the Cognitive Science Steering Committee at their next meeting on March 3rd 2005. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

1. Replace
CMPT 101-4 Introduction to Computer Programming
CMPT 150-3
Introduction to Computer Design
With
CMPT 125-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II or
CMPT 126-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming
Motivation:
Computing science has recently restructured its lower division courses, removing CMPT 101 and CMPT 201, and replacing them with the three course sequence CMPT 120, CMPT 125, CMPT 225. Students can take CMPT 126 in lieu of the CMPT 120-CMPT125 sequence. The material in CMPT 150 is no longer required for the advanced computing science courses taken by cognitive science students, and is thus being removed.
2. Replace
CMPT 201-4 Data and Program Organization
With
CMPT 225-3 Data Structures
Motivation:
See item 1 above. CMPT 201 has been replaced by CMPT 225 in the computing science curriculum.
3. Replace
CMPT 310-3 Artificial Intelligence Survey
CMPT 411-3 Knowledge
Representation
CMPT 412-3 Computational Vision
CMPT 413-3
Computational Linguistics
CMPT 414-3 Model-based Computer Vision
With
CMPT
310-3 Artificial Intelligence Survey
CMPT 411-3 Knowledge
Representation
CMPT 412-3 Computational Vision
CMPT 413-3
Computational Linguistics
CMPT 414-3 Model-based Computer Vision
CMPT 417-3 Intelligent Systems
CMPT 418-3 Computational Cognitive Architecture
CMPT 419-3 Topics in Artificial Intelligence
Motivation:
The additional courses have material directly related to Cognitive Science research.

any four of
LING 400-3 Formal Linguistics
LING 401-3 Advanced
Phonetics
LING 403-3 Topics in Phonology
LING 405-3 Advanced

LING 403-3 Topics in Phonology
LING 405-3 Topics in Syntax
LING 406-3 Topics in Semantics
LING 423-3 Topics in Morphology
LING 480-3 Topics in Linguistics I (see note below)
LING 481-3 Topics in Linguistics II (see note below)
Note: Relevant topics for 480 and 481 include Discourse Analysis, Functional Linguistics, Language and the Brain, Computational Linguistics”.
Motivation:
This change reflects title changes to the upper division linguistics courses. The addition of LING 480 and 481 allows students to take courses with cognitive science oriented content.
