Subject: FW: Curriculum Committee CIM Email Vote Documents
Please read the following email below for the CIM program. Doug has sent a new, more understandable, program plan for the CIM program. He has also, apparently,sent two courses with changes that need to be voted on. I will accept a motion to approve the CIM program changes and CIM 2115 and CIM 2215 course changes. Please ‘Reply To All’ with the Motion and a 2nd so everyone will know that we have them and then vote to Approve or Not.
I am sorry I was not able to attend the May 4, 2012 Curriculum Committee meeting. Please see the new Program Plan, CCOs and Curriculum Committee Forms for the Computer Integrated Machining (CIM) program email vote. Students can earn a 20 credit Certificate, a 66 credit Diploma or a 72 credit A.A.S. If the student takes the Diploma or A.A.S. path, they can choose to take either CIM 2245 Applications IV or CIM 1155 CNC Internship in the forth semester. Both courses are four credits in length. The attached CCOs and Curriculum Committee Forms reflect the changes in the Course Descriptions and prerequisites that will allow students to take the appropriate courses for their chosen degree. Thank you again for the time and efforts of the Curriculum Committee to resolve this matter with an email vote. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
