• Possible re-design of year 4 projects. This item is waiting on input from Steve and from IEAust, who say they will contact us this week about their accreditation requirements vis-a-vis projects. Working document

• Combined BE(SE)/BSc course: as part of introducing such a course, we should design an actual combined programme for, say, BE(SE)/BSc in Mathematics. In introducing such a course, we would obviously need to exclude BE(SE)/BSc(CompSc).

• VC's award for teaching excellence: Arun writes:
  Nominations are being invited for the 1999 Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence and Vice-Chancellors's Award for Teaching Excellence using Educational Technologies.

  The deadline for applications is 30 July 1999.

  I would like the Teaching Committee to discuss this matter. I will have the eligibility rules in pigeonholes.
