IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ….

2000 students should first read the following:1. SoC Curriculum for 2000/2001 (on Web)

2. TDP Writeup for SoC (on Web)

1999 Students should ALSO read1. SoC Curriculum for 1999/2000 (on Web)

2. Curriculum Revision (CS, IS) – May 2000 edition

Core, TDP USP

TDP (1998 intake and before….) No Action Needed

TDP / CORE (1999 Intake) 1999 TDP { No Change, USP-

Modified } 1999 CORE { No Change, USRP-Modified }

TDP / Core (2000 Intake) 2000 TDP { No Change, USP-

Modified } 2000 CORE { No Change, USRP-Modified }

For the 1999 Intake (CORE/TDP)

1999 Intake CORE / TDP Students Original Curriculum (1999/2000) Curriculum Changed in May/June 2000

Revised CORE / TDP Requirements

Changes as a result Substitute CS1301 (DM) for CS1231 (DM1) Exemption for CS1105 (C&S) CS1103 as a free elective

Q: Is it the same for IS, ICM, CE?

LeongHW, SoC, NUS(Dec 2000, CORE/TDP USP) Page 6

Some Options to Pursue…

CE and IS Programmes are very tight for USP! Especially for 1999 students Some of them have already taken elective

modules (like CS1103, MA1100, ST2334, others)

CS2301 Business and Technical Comms

Programme Electives 7 Modules from Areas (4 at level 4000, etc, etc) Q: Can we reduce to 6 modules?

For IS -- CS130x modules
