4. 15-18 Month Academic Unit Review Follow-up: Computer Science

Dr Douglas Farenick, Dean of Science and Dr Malek Mouhoub, Department Head were welcomed into the

meeting at 8:45am.

Dr Mouhoub went through his report he submitted to CCAM in November 2017 and provided updates

the department has had since that time. Some of the updates noted are as follows:

- Department granted permission to hire a three year term in Cyber Security. A new master’s program

in Cyber Security is also being developed.

- Two year term lecturer has been granted to the department.

- The Department has two new positions in Data Science with a master’s program being developed and

the Master of Health and Information Management Program.

- Recommendation to go ahead with the Master of Health and Information Management Program is

now possible thanks to the extra position granted to the Department and the program will go ahead

in Fall 2019.

Council Committee on Academic

Mission

- Space reallocation within the Department.

- Collaboration within the Department and other Departments on campus including a joint program in

Software Engineering.

- Collaboration with First Nations University with Computer Science 100. The Department has

recommended to be involved with the hiring for the classes and labs.

The discussion continued with questions from members of CCAM and answers from Dr Farenick and Dr

Mouhoub.

The Chair thanked the Dean and Department Head for their presentation. They left the meeting at

9.07am.

5. Faculty of Nursing Academic Unit Review and Accreditation

The Faculty of Nursing is scheduled to complete an Academic Unit Review in 2022-23. The SCBScN

program has received a two year extension with the program approval expiring in 2023. The program

approval and accreditation will now expire at the same time. With the nationally-accredited program

review and accreditation in 2023, work on an Academic Unit Review will become a duplication in work.

J Krammer/ T Chase: Motion to exclude a formal Academic Unit Review in lieu of the national

accreditation process in the Faculty of Nursing.

CARRIED

6. The Future of the Master’s Degree

Discussion had by CCAM members around the future of master’s degrees. Ideas mentioned are as

follows:

- Mention of caution around this kind of thinking as the student could be missing steps that might help

provide experience and added knowledge that is only gained over time.

- Coming from certain disciplines and not from the University as a whole.

- The more we tie degrees to certain trends in enrolments, resources become tied up while students

are not always guaranteed to stay in that department.

This topic will be brought forward to upcoming CCAM meetings to continue to conversation.

7. Documentation for Engineering and Applied Science and Social Work’s Self-Studies

Due to the amount of physical documentation from the reaccreditation process, information on how to

find this documentation will be available on each respective AUR webpage and will be stored in the

Deans’ Office.

8. Other Business/ Adjournment

No other business.

The meeting ended at 9:27am
