CNS/CTY Streams (Development Framework)

The purpose of this resource is to use a WIKI as a repository to create a transparent, efficient on-line framework (tool) to assist in CNS/CTY Curriculum development. This WIKI will branch out into several streams for analysis / development. The CNS/CTY PAC (Program Advisory Committee) meetings have been held several times during 2014. This committee consists of management, faculty, industry professionals, and former CNS/CTY students that meet to review and discuss the current curriculum and recommend or advise any changes that may need to be made. It is the intension of this WIKI to provide a collection point for ideas and collaboration between courses for the CNS/CTY program.

Changes to the Lab Environment

Curriculum development can seem like a daunting task! On one hand, it is important for curriculum to grow and develop in order to take advantage of changing trends and help to better train our students for industry. On the other hand, great care must be taken to not make changes in course curriculum without considering the impact on other courses, and to make certain that content and learning skills are maintained in the learning outcomes for courses until a major curriculum review and possible curriculum revisions are warranted. Other challenges include limited time frames for all faculty to meet at the same time to discuss curriculum issues.
