RATIONALE:

The inclusion of the Writting course into the prerequisites of this capstone project course for SIAT majors makes sure that the writting course is taken in the 3rd year and other upper division courses can utilize students' improved writting skills.

Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent that students should not receive credit for both courses? If so, this should be noted in the pre-requisite.

Effective semester and year Fall 2009
