2. Existing Programming Requirements 2 COP 3504 Software (SW) Track COP 3502 COP 3503 EEL 3834 Hardware (HW) Track 1. some C++ course in COE  Software track: can be satisfied in two separate ways  A: For students without prior programming experience  B: For students already with some programming experience Has to take COP3502, which is a hidden requirement Seems to have large overlap between COP 3503 and 3504  Hardware track: EEL 3834 or some C++ course in COE  SW track convoluted; HW track not very structured or A B

3. 3 Proposed Programming Requirements Summary and Conclusions  COP 2502: beginning programming course  Java-based  COP 3503: advanced programming course  C ++ based  Similar to existing CISE sequence, but streamlined  Satisfies C++ recommendation (from IABs) COP 2502 COP 3503 A: Student without prior programming experience in Java B:Student with prior programming experience in Java A B
