Recommendation:

That the Committee note that the Board of the Faculty of Art and Design approved minor amendments to subjects as detailed under item 2 of the Report of Meeting 3/99 of the Faculty Board.

7. FACULTY OF ARTS

7.1 New Subject Proposals (Matter Arising)

p 15 - 26

Documentation is attached.

The new subjects under this item are proposed by the School of Geography and Environmental Science, in the Faculty of Arts, due to a change to their credit point value from four to eight points. These six subjects were originally considered by the Education Committee at its Meeting 4/99. Discussion occurred at that meeting regarding assessment and workload and the Committee reasoned that at that time there was not a clear enough workload distinction between the six point Science Faculty versions and the proposed eight point Arts Faculty versions of the subjects. Education Committee recommended that the subjects be approved as six point subjects instead of eight points, particularly given the planned conversion to six points multiples for all subjects. The Committee requested that Associate Professor Garrioch forward a memorandum detailing the Faculty’s transition arrangements for those students who may be disadvantaged if the subjects were not offered at eight credit points in 2000.

Subsequent to Meeting 4/99, relevant documentation was received from Associate Professor D Garrioch, Associate Dean Teaching of the Faculty of Arts, and Associate Professor N Tapper, acting Head of the School of Geography and Environmental Science, which provided a detailed explanation of the Faculty’s rationale for offering the subjects at eight points in 2000, including clarification of the differences in assessment and workload between the Arts and Science versions of the subjects. That documentation is attached for the Committee’s information. At the Faculty’s request, the proposals for the six subjects have been returned to the Education Committee with the above-mentioned rationale for consideration and endorsement as eight point subjects for offer in 2000.

Recommendation:

That, noting the documentation presented, Education Committee consider the six subjects below for endorsement as new subjects by virtue of a change to their credit point value from four to eight points:

GES2450 Coastal Geomorphology and Management

GES2140 Coastal Geomorphology and Management

GES2180 Biogeography – the Status of Australian Vegetation

GES2110 Soils, land use and the environment

GES2200 Climates of the Earth Boundary Layer

GES2220 Environmental Hydrology

10. FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

p 95 - 96

A document is attached.

That Education Committee receive the Report of a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Engineering held 11 June 1999, and consider the item presented for submission to Academic Board.

10.1 Major Amendment to Existing Course – Bachelor of Engineering in

the branch of Mechatronics Engineering

p 97 - 98

A document is attached.

At its Meeting 4/99, Education Committee approved amendments to the prescriptions for the second year level of the Bachelor of Engineering in the branches of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management and Mechanical Engineering. Those changes introduced several alternative subjects and enabled students in certain circumstances to satisfy year level requirements by completion of either one of each pair of subjects.

The intention of the amendments was:

to provide opportunity for some rationalising of teaching at the Malaysian campus, where Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering are all being offered, but to relatively small numbers of students in the first instance; and

to provide additional timetable flexibility for students on the Victorian campuses who are undertaking mixed level studies.

It had been intended that similar arrangements be made for the Bachelor of Engineering in the branch of Mechatronics Engineering, however a proposal for this branch of Engineering had not been received at the time that that Faculty Board Report was presented to the Education Committee.

Recommendation:

That Education Committee endorse for submission to Academic Board the proposal of the Faculty of Engineering to amend the Bachelor of Engineering in the branch of Mechatronics Engineering, with effect from July 1999, to include alternative subjects as detailed in the document presented, to facilitate the offering of the branch of engineering in Malaysia, and to provide further flexibility in the delivery of the program at the Gippsland campus.

11. FACULTY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

p 99 - 112

A document is attached.

Recommendation:

That Education Committee receive the Report of Meeting 3/99 of the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Information Technology, held Wednesday, 21 July 1999, note the Proceedings and consider each item requiring action separately for submission to the Academic Board.

11.1.1 Executive Certificate in Information Technology

p 113 - 118

Documentation is attached.

Recommendation:

That Education Committee note the decision of the Faculty of Information Technology to establish a faculty certificate titled Executive Certificate in Information Technology, to be offered on-campus at the Caulfield, Clayton and Peninsula campuses, and via distance education, commencing semester one, 2000.

11.2 Major Amendments to Existing Courses

11.2.1 Bachelor of Software Engineering

p 119 - 134

Documentation is attached.

The Bachelor of Software Engineering (BSE) was originally jointly managed by the Faculties of Engineering and Information Technology. Recently the two faculties have reached an agreement whereby the BSE becomes the sole responsibility of the Faculty of Information Technology, and the Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (BCSE) becomes the responsibility of the Engineering faculty.

During the period of joint management of the BSE, a compromise situation meant that the degree incorporated much hardware related information that is now thought to be inappropriate. This proposal aims to re-structure the degree to incorporate much more Software Engineering related material.

Recommendation:

That the Committee endorse for submission to Academic Board the proposal of the Faculty of Information Technology to amend the Bachelor of Software Engineering as detailed in the documentation presented, effective from semester one, 2000.

11.2.2 Graduate Diploma in Computing

p 135 - 144

Documentation is attached.
