TheBachelor of Science in Computer Science program was one of the first Bachelor of Scienceprograms implemented at UVU in 1993. The program’s goal has
completed a significantcurriculum revision of the undergraduate baccalaureate network engineering program. Afteranalyzing industry trends, student performance, incoming student experience, and discussingtheir findings with industrial partners, several key opportunities for improvement were identified.Designed to reflect the aforementioned changes, materials were deleted, moved, or added to thecurriculum as needed.This paper provides a discussion on the identified issues, the curricular changes made to addressthem, and the rationale behind those changes. While a cursory review of the overall curriculum isincluded, this paper is not intended to be a comprehensive discussion of the curriculum as awhole, but rather a discussion of the recent

As students become part of the community ofcyberinfrastructure researchers, they learn the traditions, methodologies, and broad thinkingwithin this field early in their careers. This leads to students who are better prepared to enter theworkforce and who are intrinsically well-trained in thinking about problem solving within thefield.

Similarly,courses from a variety of departments fall under the “Cultural Analysis” group that can be used tohelp satisfy liberal studies requirements for Cornell Engineering students. Such groupings are notunique to Cornell. Many universities have started interdisciplinary programs, such as informationscience or symbolic systems programs, which relate courses in a variety of areas.Official and unofficial course groupings are often used when writing requirements for academicprograms. To account for this observation, CPAS allows the creation of an arbitrary number ofsuch groups, called categories.
