   with commitment from Citrix (Steve will share additional details)
   - Faculty who would teach these courses (?Liting Hu, ?Jun Li)
   - Integrate our curricula with emerging technologies
      in a generic format with a flexibility to introduce a variety of tools
   - Further discussion (Nov 5th) is neededed about a new track on CS / IT
       after gathering additional info from Citrix & Ultimate.
     
2. ENC-3249 (8 + 3 online sections) and ENC-3213 (13 sections)(technical writing)
   Determine the Technical writing requirement for all computing majors:
      - ENC 3249 or ENC 3213
      - ENC 3213 (and remove ENC 3249)
   UGC recommends (ENC 3249 or ENC 3213) option for the catalog change
     in both CS & IT programs.
     
3. SCIS students ability to take ECE Security courses (Tiana's email)
   UGC approved these courses (with Ethical hacking as prereq)
   [our security course CNT-4403 is equivalent to Ethical hacking course]
    - EEL 4802
    - EEL 4804
   Make sure ECE accepts SCIS security course as prereq for EEL 4802/4804

   Revise the catalog with Security track & update the website.

4. Fall A/B sessions
   - Faculty teaching load and assignment
   - Scheduling classes and advising complexities
   - Students' knowledge retention
   UGC does not support this proposition.
     
5. COP-3337 enrollment statistics (Bill Feild's email)
