RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE
As IAT110 does not require specialized equipment orLab space SIAT will be able to offer it on
SFU campuses other than Surrey. Currently IAT100 and IAT102 are the only large enrollment
courses available to non-SIAT students. Students often wait several semesters before being able
to enroll in one of these courses. IAT110 would provide greater access and flexibility for SFU
students to engage in popular SIAT course material.
