Shapton felt there was insufficient time for a tour. Bowen related that plans call for the two CEO's to take turns saying things about the new partnership. Predebon will make a statement of how this fits in with the department and the evolution of continued professional development in auto engineering and how our best faculty will be involved. Collins suggested getting Cain's Publishing there. Banks will mention this to Curnow.
Banks has the agenda for the meeting afterward between the people doing the actual processes.
Discussion centered on the low number of prepared student and possible solutions. Possibilities include offering mathematics DL prep courses so students do not have to rely upon community college solutions. We also could include general education if departments are agreeable. The lab science course may not be appropriate for DL and may need to be acquired somewhere else. Shapton is to set up a student advising schedule for MSX with Robyn Johnson for a month before the next registration.
