REPORT FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICER

The Faculty of Business Computing Discipline Committee agreed to receive the following written report from the Presiding Officer.

1. Australian Computer Society

The re-accreditation of our computing courses occurred on Wednesday 15 August and a verbal report will be given at this meeting regards the recommendations that were made. In total, nine of our courses were up for re-accreditation.

I would like to thank everyone involved with putting together the documentation and the support materials for this day. In particular, I would like to pass on a special thanks to the course coordinators: Michael Antolovich, Oliver Burmeister, Tony Dean, Geoff Fellows, Martin Hale, Jason Howarth, and Kevin Wilkins. Also I would like to thank the administrative support staff on each campus for help compile the documents requested by the ACS. This was a joint effort and I very much appreciate the contributions everyone made.

2. Change in Course Coordination roles

The Heads of School are in the process of approving new course coordinators for our computing courses. There will be some rationalisation of the people performing course coordination duties to allow academic staff to be more involved in their teaching and research activities. The people to be appointed will be advised in due course.

3. Mid year intake

Overall we have had about 15 new students starting into the Bachelor of Information Technology course in 200770. This is a healthy number of students to commence into the course and it is important that we provide these students with the support that they require for their studies at CSU.

4. Change in policies

As you would be aware there have been a number of policy changes implemented by the Dean’s Advisory Committee (DAC) that directly affect the computing discipline. Please refer to the agenda for this meeting for details of these changes however it is important to note that these changes will not be implemented in the computing discipline until 200819. This means that, besides other changes, the awarding of AA/AE grades in computing and mathematics subjects is still possible for the remainder 2007.

5. Membership of the Dean’s Advisory Committee (DAC)

The new membership of the DAC is included in the agenda of this agenda. The main change is that the representation of people from the computing and mathematics discipline has been reduced with John Messing, Ken Lodge and John Louis no longer on this committee. The new role of the DAC is meant to be more strategic in nature while committees such as the Computing Discipline Committee and the Mathematics Discipline Committee are expected to perform at a more operational level. My role on the DAC will be to represent both the computing and mathematics discipline groups.

Additional Verbal Report:

The Presiding Officer reported that the Australian Computer Society has awarded re-accreditation of ACS accreditation the Bachelor of Information Technology and the Master of Information Technology. In addition they have awarded accreditation of the Bachelor of Computer Science, the Bachelor of Computer Science (Games) and the Bachelor of Computer Science (Games) (Honours). The ACS has requested additional information before they give accreditation for the Industry Masters programs.

Currently in the process of preparing a business case to enable CSU to offer an undergraduate DE IT industry aligned computing course .

The course is aimed at both High School Leavers as well as senior people looking for a change in career.

The course is to consist of between 6-8 subjects with no majors and is industry based. A focus will be at systems management and networking.
