6. CS0 CS 0 for all (committee has not finished discussion)
Possible Pros:
More TAs, More Lecturers, More research time, 2+1  1 + 1
Cons
No TAs, No Lecturers
Consider morphing CS105 into CS 0. But need data
What computing should UNR under-graduates know when they graduate?
Programming (scratch?), Simple databases like Access or Google’s tables, Spreadsheets and Macros, Security essentials, material from current CS105 … ?
Can we do a survey of faculty, alumni, students, … ?
Should be part of Silver Core, required for all?

7. CS0 CS105: Half and half course CS0
Current core objectives plus core science
CS0
Must be part of the core curriculum
Design, group design, design thinking
Large multi-week project versus smaller projects
Careers: Computing in Art, in X
Survey of how embedded computing is in the modern world
Ethics, law, policy
Implications: How does computing relate to the modern world ?
