RATIONALE
SIAT's required first year computer programming courses are CMPT 166 and IAT 167. However, some students begin
studying in another program and pursue different first year programming courses that are acceptable.
The prerequisite modifications are required for IAT 167 because Computing Science will no longer offer CMPT 120 on
the
Surrey campus, replacing it with the CMPT 130-135 sequence starting Fall 2012 (see SCUS 12-08). Note that
CMPT 120 will remain as a possible pre-requisite choice because some students will take it at SFU Burnaby or
another institution.

Afterintroduction of IAT 167 last year this course now buildson the content introducedin IAT 167. It also makes specific use of mathematical concepts
covered in MACM101 or MATH 130, the required math courses fora major in IAT.
Further, the SIAT UCC feels that the exclusionary text for IART/IIEC/INTD/MTEC/TECH programs from the Technical University of British Columbia is no
longer nocossary; the last intake was in 2002, andthe last regular offering was 2006. There is currently 1 student active in these programs, and all students
remaining in these grand-fathered programs meet with an advisor to determine appropriate replacement coursework, ensuring that repeats don't occur.

PREREQUISITE CHANGES REQUESTED TO SEVERAL COURSES
[ x ] Pre-Requisite Changes Requested
This document requests related changes to several IAT courses.
The rationale is the same for all changes: references to IART, ITEC, MTEC, and certain TECH courses in
the pre-requisite exclusionary text for several IAT courses is no longer needed. The reason for this is as
follows:
The Technical University of British Columbia was dissolved in 2002, with the last regular offering of first
year courses
commencing in 2002 and ending in 2006. SIAT'sUndergraduate Curriculum Committee
feels that enough time has passed that the exclusionary text for these long discontinued TechBC programs
is no longer required.
A search
of the Student Information System Reporting Database in Spring 2012 found only 1 active
student in all of the TechBC programs (confirmed by the IRP Spring 2012 Enrollment Report). The
operational reality of advising any remaining TechBC students is that they work with an advisor and the
curriculum committee to find appropriate replacement courses for any missing TechBC coursework still
required. It is incumbent on the advisor to ensure that no equivalent coursework is attempted. Further, the
dynamic nature
of a high-tech program such as that offered by SIAT is that a course completed at
TechBC ten years ago is no longer equivalent.
The requested changes are listed below.

Undergraduate Curriculum Committee
Faculty of Communication, Art, and Technology
Rationale: FCAT BA Double Minors
RE:
The Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology Undergraduate Curriculum Committee
approved changes to the FCAT BA Double Minors. The following is the rationale for these
changes:
Rationale for change to FCAT BA Double Minor
The current residency requirement of 65 units for the BA Double Minor in FCAT has proven to
be difficult for students to attain, even when both of their minors/extended minors are from
within FCAT.
By eliminating the residency requirement from the BA Double Minor option entirely, we create
a degree with both flexibility and intendonality that should eliminate the need for an FCAT BGS.
