3 3 Rationale, Justifications, and Assurances (Part I) 1. Course is required for the major(s) of Course is required for the minor(s) of Course is required for the certificate program(s) of X_ Course is used as an elective for AET majors 2. Rationale for proposal: Computer programming has become a necessary skill for students who want to work in technology related fields. Technology applications (e.g., web application, control system, tracking system, and robot system) require programming knowledge. This course is aimed at students with little or no programming experience and provides students with basic programming knowledge and self-assurance to develop simple programs to achieve useful goals. 3. Justifications for (answer N/A if not applicable) Similarity to other courses: MAT 2170 (Computer Science I), MIS 2000 (Introduction to Business Logic and Programming Skills), and MIS 3330 (Java Programming) Although, there might be potential similarities in the topics and course materials, AET 3163 focuses on the utilization of programming for new technology applications. The intent of this course is to provide basic programming knowledge in technology that are useful for application courses such as Robotics and Control System, Programmable Logic Controllers, and Rapid Prototyping Technology. This course is not a duplication of MAT 3870 (Data Structures). Prerequisites: N/A Co-requisites: N/A Enrollment restrictions: AET juniors and seniors only Writing active, intensive, centered: N/A 4. General education assurances (answer N/A if not applicable) General education component: N/A Curriculum: N/A Instruction: N/A Assessment: N/A 5. Online/Hybrid delivery justification & assurances (answer N/A if not applicable) Online or hybrid delivery justification: Offering this course through the hybrid or online mode allows accessibility of nontraditional students who live long distance from campus or cannot be in face-to-face classrooms such as working professionals, distance learners, and

4 international students. It will improve number of enrollments in this group of students. Faculty teaching this course will have OCDI training and certification. Instruction: The course will be delivered in an online Learning Management System (LMS). Learning materials, discussion, assignments, exams, and grading will be placed on the LMS. Integrity: The exams will be completed through the LMS. Writing responses for all laboratory assignments, exams, and class project will be analyzed by the originality checking software (e.g., TURNITIN). Interaction: Class interactions will use a combination of , online discussion, web conferencing, and phone calls. Model Syllabus (Part II) Please include the following information: 1. Course number and title AET 3163: Computer Programming in Technology 2. Catalog description An introduction to the theory and practice of computer programming in the area of technology applications, emphasizing on the knowledge needed for program development including basic concepts of software development, data structures, objects, classes, operations, and loops 3. Learning objectives. Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to: a. Demonstrate the basic concepts of software development (Learning Goal: CT 1-2). b. Describe the basic elements in programming such as data structures, objects, classes, operations, and loops (Learning Goal: CT 1-2). c. Utilize the elements of programming for solving software application problems (Learning Goal: CT 3-4, QR 1-3). d. Create programs for technology applications (Learning Goal: CT 4, QR 2, 6, RC 4). 4.
