4 California State University, Fullerton Department of Computer Science, College of College of Engineering & Computer Science Proposal for an Online Master of Science Software Engineering

III. GENERAL ELEMENTS FOR ALL SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE PROPOSALS

A.1. Overview/Abstract of the Program California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) is proposing a new, online Master’s degree in Software Engineering (MSE) to be housed in the Department of Computer Science (CS) within the College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS). This new MSE program represents the second fully web-based online degree program for CSUF.

“Software Engineering is an application of a systematic and disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation and maintenance of software” (IEEE). With the recent advances in software development, there has been increasing demand for knowledgeable professionals skilled in leading and managing software design, implementation, operation and maintenance. Thus, the objective of the proposed program is to prepare individuals for careers as software engineers and software process managers in industry and government agencies. The program emphasizes a comprehensive and thorough process-oriented approach to software development, and the program curriculum is fundamentally grounded in software engineering research, theory, principles, and practice. The emphasis on process-oriented methodologies makes this program unique among professional master’s degrees.

The program is designed for professionals working in the field of computer science who wish to further their skills and pursue graduate-level education in Software Engineering. The program will be offered in the cohort format, and the students will be expected to take two courses each semester. The program incorporates the following strands of assessment/evaluation: critical thinking/problem solving, collaboration/team work, research, software process implementation, software process assessment/appraisal, software standard comprehension, literacy in legal and ethical issues, and communication. The culminating activity of this master’s program will be a practicum project where each student applies his/her knowledge and skills to a large or medium scale software project. Students will design, develop, and test the product. Students completing this master’s program will have a well- rounded understanding of the theory, research, implementation, and evaluation of the software process as it applies to a variety of applications.

MSE is planned to be an on-going, 30-unit, online degree program to be completed by each 25-student cohort in 22-months beginning fall 2004. The course schedule will be based on the 16 week semester in the fall and spring, and one eight week summer session. In addition, students will be required to attend and complete a mandatory Virtual Orientation prior to beginning the program and a Virtual Mid-Point Symposium for review of their progress toward completing the final project and for continued authentication of their work. Currently, CSUF offers one on-line program leading to the Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology (IDT). The IDT program was started in fall 2004.

5 A. 2. Institutional Summary Data Form Please refer to Appendix 1 for the Institutional Summary Data Form.

A. 3. Descriptive Background, History and Context California State University, Fullerton: California State University, Fullerton is one of twenty-three campuses in the California State University system. Established in 1957, CSUF now enrolls more than 30,000 students. The campus offers 55 bachelor's level and 47 graduate academic programs in the traditional liberal arts and sciences as well as in several professional areas with 18 degree programs accredited by their respective professional accrediting agencies. CSUF has 7 colleges: Arts; Business and Economics; Communications; Human Development and Community Service, Humanities and Social Sciences; Engineering and Computer Science; and Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Courses and certificates are also offered through University Extended Education. The University is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

College of Engineering and Computer Science The College of Engineering and Computer Science consists of a Division of Engineering and a Department of Computer Science. The Division has the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

Engineering and Computer Science also houses two entities, MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement) and MEP (Minority Engineering Program). MESA has a focus on recruiting students while MEP primarily focuses on students enrolled at CSUF.

The mission of the College of Engineering and Computer Science is congruent with those of the individual programs. At one level, being a state university, its mission is the creation of an educated and competitive workforce for the State of California. At another level, its mission is to educate engineers and computer scientists who will have state-of-the-art knowledge at the time of graduation, and will be well-equipped to seek and secure higher education as necessary.

The full titles of all degrees in engineering and computer science granted by California State University, Fullerton are as follows: B.S. in Civil Engineering, B.S. in Electrical Engineering B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, B.S. in Engineering with an Option in Engineering Science, B.S. in Computer Science, M.S. in Civil Engineering, M.S. in Electrical Engineering, M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, M.S. in Electrical Engineering with an Option in Systems Engineering, M.S. in Engineering with an Option in Engineering Science, M.S. in Computer Science.

The Computer Science program at CSUF teaches fundamental concepts mixed with practical usage. The curriculum keeps a good balance between the theory and practice, by teaching current technology and providing fundamental concepts required for understanding the technology of tomorrow. The Master’s 6 program that prepares individuals for research, teaching and further graduate study, has currently 344 students enrolled. The Department has 12 tenure track faculty members, four full time lecturers and 34 part-time faculty members. All tenure track faculty members have a PhD in Computer Science or related field. Three full time faculty members specialize, and have strong research and teaching background, or work experience in Software Engineering. The Computer Science bachelor’s degree program is fully accredited by ABET.

The proposed MSE program is not offered on campus or at any other off-campus sites.

A. 4. Institutional Accrediting History Relevant to Substantive Change CSUF has earned WASC accreditation for three off-campus and/or distance learning programs. The programs and the dates of WASC approval are as follows: (1) Master of Arts in Communication in Hong Kong and Shanghai (April 2002), (2) Master of Business Administration in Peru (July 2000), (3) Bachelor of Science in Nursing with Wescott (August 1995) and Kaiser Permanente Hospitals (September 2000). (4) Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology (May 2002)

A. 5. Program Need and Planning/Approval Process Relation to CSUF Mission and Goals: Among other goals, the University’s Mission Statement expressly notes “To ensure the preeminence of learning, we will integrate advances in information technologies into learning environments.” (see Appendix 2, section I.G.). To this end, the President’s Technology Plan was developed and implemented beginning 1991-1996; the campus faculty and staff workstation rollout plan began in 1998; and the Faculty Development Center was established in 1997 with a central charge to support faculty in the use of instructional technology. Below are the mission, goals, and philosophy of the university, college, CS, and CSU as it relates to graduate education, technology and student access.

CSUF Mission and Goals (see Appendix 2) The proposed online master’s program in Software Engineering addresses CSUF’s Mission and Goals as follows:  Commitment to providing high quality educational programs that meet the evolving needs of our students, community, and region (Goal II) is evidenced by the primary target audience of professionals working in a variety of technological settings within our community.  This innovative program responds to the enormous changes and growth in technology and its applications and integrates advances in information technology and distance education into a variety of learning environments (Goal I).  This on-line program increases the opportunity for students to access higher education (“creating an opportunity where all students have the opportunity to succeed” (Goal V).

Mission of the College of ECS The proposed MSE curriculum incorporates the most recent research and industry practices in software engineering. Thus, it is consistent with the mission of the College of Engineering and 7 Computer Science whose primary goal is creation of an educated and competitive workforce for the State of California. At the same time, ECS mission is to educate engineers and computer scientists who will have state-of-the-art knowledge at the time of graduation, and who will be well-equipped to seek and secure higher education as necessary. The mission can further be described as graduating engineers with the following attributes:  A good understanding of engineering and computer science fundamentals.  A good understanding of design, manufacturing and/or implementation processes.  A multi-disciplinary, systems perspective.  A basic understanding of the context in which engineering and computer science is practiced.  Good communication skills.  High ethical standards.  An ability to think both critically and creatively—independently and cooperatively.  Flexibility, including the ability and self-confidence to adapt to rapid or major change.  Curiosity and a desire to learn for life.  A profound understanding of the importance of teamwork.

Mission of the Department of Computer Science The MSE program provides comprehensive, graduate education in the emerging and yet essential discipline of Software Engineering. This is in accordance with the Computer Science Department Mission Statement stating that “the mission of the Computer Science Department is to prepare undergraduate and graduate students for productive careers in industry or academia, by providing a stimulating learning environment in both the core and emerging areas of the discipline. The Department places high priority on establishing and maintaining creative research and professional development by the faculty and the students.” ( Computer Science Accreditation Report, Fall 2002, vol. 1)

CSU Chancellor’s Office Cornerstones Report The proposed on-line MSE program meets Principle 6 of the CSU System Cornerstones Report:

PRINCIPLE 6: Graduate education and continuing education are essential components of the mission of the California State University. The recommendations in support of this principle are: 6a. The CSU will provide increased access to graduate education and continuing education especially in those programs central to the lifelong opportunity of our students, and to the continued health of California's communities and economy. 6b. The expansion of opportunities in these areas will require a significant integration of programs in both the state-supported and fee-supported modes; the specifics of a more integrated program need to be developed, including the proper institutional and financial relationships. 6c. The expansion of CSU post-baccalaureate programs will require a new system of financing those programs. 6d. The expansion of opportunity in these areas will require new partnerships with community and business institutions to make education available beyond the campus, and to increase the immediacy of education that is applied and professional.

8 CSUF Strategic Plan – “The Master Plan” Master of Science in Software Engineering was included in the Master Plan for California State University, Fullerton that was approved by the Board of Trustees in March 1993.

Projected Market Demand for the Program and the process used to establish this need With the recent advances in software development, there has been increasing demand for professionals skilled in managing large and medium scale software projects. The MSE faculty workgroup in partnership with CSUF University Extended Education developed the questionnaire (see Appendix 3) to assess market demand for the program. The UEE conducted an MSE program market demand survey between January 28 and February 28, 2003. The survey was administrated on-line and respondents included CSU Fullerton Computer Science alumni, the advisory board for this proposed MSE program, and a UEE record of “People with Interest” in IT. Some 1885 survey emails were sent; 358 were returned due to an invalid e-mail address, yielding a total of 1527 valid emails sent. A request to fill out the on-line survey was emailed to the audience specified above. There were 135 responses. Approximately 95% of respondents felt that there is a moderate to very high demand for someone with the MSE degree. Approximately 93% of respondents said that they were very or somewhat interested in hiring someone with this type of degree. There is a wide range of positions that apply to the degree focus (question 3). Approximately 67% of respondents believed that the annual salary for graduates from this program will be above $65,000. Please see Appendix 3 for the survey questions and results.

Additionally, Appendix 4 shows enrollment growth for five universities offering distance learning software engineering courses.

Planning/Approval Process for New Degree Programs: The curricular approval process is governed by both overall CSU and campus policies. CSUF’s Office of Academic Programs and University Policy Statement “Guidelines for the Submission of Proposals for the Addition of New Degree Programs to the University Master Plan,” UPS 430.000 provide the overall outline for new Master’s degree proposals (see Appendix 5). The formal review process for new proposals includes proposal review by the following bodies: 1. Computer Science Faculty and Chair ( Approved, spring 2003) 2. College of ECS Curriculum Committee (Approved, spring 2003) 3. Dean, College of ECS (Approved, spring 2003) 4. University Graduate Education Committee (Approved, spring 2003) 5. University Planning, Resource and Budget Committee (Approved, spring 2003) 6. CSUF Academic Senate (Approved, spring 2003) 7. CSUF President (Approved, spring 2003) 8. CSU Chancellor (Approved , February 3, 2004) 9. Western Association of Schools and Colleges (pending)

In summer 2002, the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) initiated conversations with the Chair of CS and a CS faculty member to encourage development of an online M.S. program in Software Engineering. Over the fall 2002, additional interested CS faculty were recruited to form a five member MSE committee to develop all aspects of an MSE program proposal. The faculty committee 9 met weekly and was supported for their work by the VPAA (@ 3 WTUs of assigned time per faculty). The MSE proposal began its approval process in spring 2003 and has now successfully completed the campus and chancellor’s approval process.

A. 6. Program Description MSE Program Conceptual Design and Description: The Master of Science in Software Engineering consists of 30-unit coursework (10 courses) to be completed over a 22-month-long, year-round program with students taking two courses per semester. Students will be grouped in cohorts that follow the same class schedule throughout the program. Because of the intensive nature of online learning, students will be expected to spend 6-10 hours on homework per week for each class. This is in addition to participation in the on-line lectures, discussions, chats and regular course readings. Thus, the total amount of time for course related learning would range from 12 to 16 hours per week.

The courses are paired both theoretically and sequentially with learning goals and assessments integrated throughout the entire program. The culminating experience of the practicum and project will be linked together to provide a practical application setting with a supporting theoretical and research framework.

In addition to the course requirements, students will be required to complete a virtual orientation seminar prior to the beginning of the program. Students will also participate in a virtual midpoint symposium to authenticate and assess their progress in the program.

Student Learning Objectives: The student learning objectives are incorporated into eight overarching program goals: implementation of software process; process assessment and appraisal; software process standards; collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving; media literacy; research; and written communication. Each learning goal strand or theme is described below.

 Process Assessment/Appraisal - the ability to analyze and estimate software process costs.  Software Standard Comprehension – the ability to identify, analyze and apply software standards in software engineering practice.  Professional, Legal and Ethical Issues – the ability to analyze, assess and interpret professional codes of ethics and regulatory documents pertaining to software engineering.  Critical Thinking and Problem Solving – the ability to analyze, evaluate and synthesize information as well as generate and apply appropriate solutions to solve problems based on reasoned rationale.  Collaboration and team work – the ability to work productively in team or collaborative settings to achieve common goals or purposes.  Research – the ability to conduct, evaluate and synthesize research and apply theoretical ideas to practical settings.

10  Communication – the ability to effectively present ideas in a logical framework in a variety of forms with proper language structure and mechanics.

Please see the detailed Assessment and Outcomes Matrix in Appendix 6. Each course contains a multi- modal assessment methodology to document learning via projects, on-line demonstrations, discussion, and exams. Each learning goal is linked to specific course assignments and learning outcomes. The most common assessments are the individual and team-designed class projects, various prototype projects, online discussions, prototype demos, midterm and final exams.

The culminating experience includes research and a practicum grounded in the theoretical foundations defined in all study plan coursework. An electronic portfolio of culminating experience and preparatory coursework will be created by each student enrolled in the program. The portfolio will be reviewed at the midpoint symposium and evaluated by the Program Coordinator at the end of the program. The portfolio provides the evidence for the most comprehensive assessment of the program. Finally, the inclusion of the virtual orientation seminar and the virtual midpoint seminar ensures the authentication of student work and progress in the program linked to the eight learning goal strands.

MSE Curriculum and Timeframe: Please see sample syllabi for MSE courses in Appendix 7.

STUDY PLAN REQUIREMENTS  Attendance at the initial virtual orientation.  Attendance at the virtual midpoint symposium.

Core courses ( 12 units total)  CPSC 541 - Systems and Software Standards and Requirements (3)  CPSC 544 - Software Process Definition (3)  CPSC 543 - Software Maintenance (3)  CPSC 545 - Software Design and Architecture (3)

The program requires the development of only two new courses: CPSC 547, “Software Measurement”, and CPSC 548, “Professional, Ethical and Legal Issues for Software Engineers.” The other study plan 11 courses CPSC 541 through CPSC 546, and CPSC 597 will undergo routine curricular revisions, and will be adapted for on-line delivery.

PROPOSED SCHEDULE OF COURSES  August 2004: Virtual Orientation Seminar  September - December 2004: CPSC 541; CPSC 544  January - May 2004: CPSC 542; CPSC 545

 June – August 2004: CPSC 543; CPSC 547  August 2005: Virtual Midpoint Seminar  September-December 2005: CPSC 546; CPSC 597 (3 units)  January-May 2006: CPSC 548; CPSC 597 (3 units)

Online Course Format, Structure and Interaction: The MSE program will be taught using the campus Blackboard courseware licensed by the Faculty Development Center. Each course will be conducted in a primarily asynchronous mode, broken into discrete one-week blocks of time. For example on average, each week the instructor will post the week’s “lecture” (e.g., PowerPoint lecture presentations, additional instructor lecture notes, short audio/visual streaming lecture by instructor) as well as additional readings or web resources by Friday at 5 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time). Students will be required to complete the readings and view the “lecture” materials by that next Monday evening and will be told to complete a response or assignment and send it electronically to the instructor by Wednesday evening. Next, students will be asked to respond to and work with their team or with other students in class by Friday 1:00 p.m (either via synchronous, scheduled chat rooms or asynchronous bulletin boards).

Examples of some of the materials and interactions that students might experience each week might include the following: required readings from an electronic text, electronic library reserve material, instructor’s “lecture” and related lecture notes, a lecture written by an expert in the field, interactive exercises to further enhance understanding of the subject matter, assignments and response papers sent via e-mail, electronic discussions with the professor, other students and the entire class. Depending on the topic, lecture material may be presented to students in the form of a PowerPoint presentation complete with videoclips, screen shots, various interactive exercises, charts, graphs, figures that will "pop up" when clicked, or short actual segments of the instructor lecturing using audio/video streaming technologies.

Each week’s assignments generally will require students to synthesize and integrate the week’s material both on their own and in cooperative learning situations. Throughout the course, students are expected to keep pace with assignments and deliver assignments on schedule to the instructor for review and evaluation. Students also will be told that it will be necessary for them to check their course e-mail and bulletin boards at least every other day for messages and updates from professors and fellow classmates.

Each student is required to participate meaningfully in synchronous and asynchronous on-line discussions, which occur in weekly cyber chat classrooms. These cyber classrooms are places for students to discuss the readings, lecture and assignments and to engage the professor and fellow 12 students in discussions of specific course-related issues. To keep conversations focused and manageable, cyber classrooms may sometimes be structured so as to involve only half of the class at a time. Within each cyber structured classroom, students will find a set of prompting questions meant to highlight issues that are important in stimulating discussion. The cyber classrooms will be created so that all responses will remain accessible to participants during the entire course (i.e., students will be able to read all of what has been contributed).

In sum, students in this program will have ample opportunity to work regularly with the instructor one- on-one, as well as with fellow classmates individually and in groups. On average, students in the program can expect to be in contact with the instructor and/or classmates an average of 3 times per week through a variety of means (e.g., Blackboard courseware announcements, bulletin boards, chat rooms, email, and telephone).

Virtual Orientation and Midpoint Seminar: In addition to the course requirements, students will be required to complete a Virtual Orientation prior to the beginning of the program. Students will also participate in a Midpoint Symposium to authenticate and assess their progress in the program. As opposed to regular program activities which will be asynchronous, both the virtual orientation and the virtual midpoint seminar will be conducted in a real-time synchronous mode. Real-time teleconferencing and video-streaming will be used to carry out these meetings. The students will be able to use Webcams, or any other video cameras whose output is available for viewing via the Internet. The students will meet faculty, classmates, and program advisors during the virtual orientation. They will participate in the real-time on-line conference during the mid-point symposium. While we encourage real-time teleconferencing and video-streaming as means of these meetings, we will also, where appropriate, provide an opportunity for faculty members to meet and to visually authenticate students.

All in all, these on-line one-on-one meetings with faculty members and classmates will personalize student learning experiences.

Distance Learning Fees and Associated Costs for On-Campus Meetings: A distance fee of $75 per course for MSE program has been approved by the campus (see Appendix 8 for the MSE Online Distance Fee Proposal). This distance fee covers the cost of auxiliary software and hardware, and materials associated with the Virtual Orientation and Mid-point Symposium.

Admission & Program Continuation Requirements: Students will be admitted to the proposed program in accordance with the policies and procedures outlined in the “Graduate Application Procedures” section of the University Catalogue. (http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/index.htm).

This program intentionally seeks high-performing, qualified computer science professional students In addition to submitting standard GPA and test scores, students will be required to submit written essays, a resume, and participate in a phone interview assessing their prior work experience and the equivalence of CPSC 461 (Software Engineering ). The Admissions Committee will be composed of 13 the MSE Program Coordinator and a subset of faculty teaching in the program and from the MSE Program Council (see Appendix 9 for the “MSE Student Admission Interview” questions.)

Continuation and completion of the program requires: 9. Registration, attendance, and successful completion of the virtual orientation and midpoint seminars. 10. If circumstances force a student to fall out of the original cohort schedule, the student will normally be permitted to continue in the program, but will default to the next cohort cycle provided the student remains in good academic standing.

Examinations, Evaluations and Academic Integrity :

14 In order to ensure the integrity of the examination process, students in the MSE program will be required to complete all course final exams either on campus, or under the supervision of a qualified proctor. If the student cannot come to campus for examinations, then prior to the 6th week of class, the instructor will make available a list of acceptable proctor sites within a 100-mile radius of each student. Proctor sites may include any of the following: private learning centers such as the Sylvan Center and the Caliber Learning network; CSU sister campus’ testing centers with internet computer labs if needed; or other universities with cooperative agreements with the CSUF to proctor.

Academic integrity of student work is supported by tracking student work via the electronic portfolio throughout the duration of the program.

Good Academic Standing, Probation, and Appeals Process: Continuous enrollment in the program is required. There is a six-year completion time limit for the degree. Approved leaves of absence are available for limited times and are excluded from the total time limit. For more information on the campus’ continuous enrollment requirement and leaves of absence, consult Academic Programs at http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/policies.htm.

A graduate student with a semester grade point average that falls below B (3.0) will be placed on academic probation. Students will be subject to disqualification after two semesters on probation and will be reviewed by the MSE Coordinator in consultation with the MSE Program Council for action by the Director of Graduate Studies. More information on graduate probation and disqualification can be found on the Graduate Studies website: http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/standards.htm.

The regular student appeals process applies to students in the MSE program. More information on the academic appeals process can be found in the student handbook at http://www.fullerton.edu/deanofstudents/Judicial_Affairs/academic_appeals_policy.htm.

Transfer and Prior Learning Credits: Per standing and general university policy, a maximum of nine (9) units of coursework may be transferred into the program from another university, providing the courses have been completed with a grade of “B” or better, are appropriate for the student’s concentration, and comply with the stipulations of the CSUF transfer credit policy. Final determination of the appropriateness of any course for application to this program will rest with the MSE Program Coordinator in consultation with the MSE Program Council and the Dean’s office. More information on the transfer policy can be found at http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/policies.htm#Transfer.

Students with significant prior learning experiences should produce detailed documentation of their experiences for review and possible substitution by the MSE Program Coordinator in consultation with the MSE Program Council for final approval from the Dean and the Office of Academic Programs.

Disabled Students: Special accommodations for disabled students will be made on an individual, as- needed basis in compliance with ADA and as specified in the CSUF Catalog (hard copy of catalog or online at http://www.fullerton.edu/disabledservices/handbook/SupportiveServices.htm). In addition, the MSE program has been working collaboratively with the campus’ Disabled Student Center staff and one of the MSE program faculty is in the Department of Special Education who also will serve as a valuable resource. 15 Information Provided to Students: The MSE program will provide a variety of materials and information to students both prior to admissions and after enrollment. Much of the information for prospective students can be obtained by visiting the MSE website. For example, this website will have information regarding the degree, the quality of the program, what to expect of a 100% online program, and a host of links to other important student information sites such as Office of Graduate Studies, online catalog and class schedule, bookstore, faculty and student email, student internet access, financial aid, counseling and psychological services, career planning and placement, Disabled Student Center, international students and more. Students may also request information via the website. Once students enroll, the MSE Program Coordinator will send them material and information regularly both electronically and through the mail, as well as communicating by telephone as needed.

Administrative Program Governance: The MSE Master’s Program will have a part-time Program Coordinator who will work with the MSE Program Council and report to the Associate Dean and Director of the CS. A draft of the role, responsibilities and compensation for these positions can be found in Appendix 10. In addition, the MSE Program will convene an external MSE Advisory Board composed of high level professionals from business, industry, education, and related fields who will meet twice a year to review, assess, and provide feedback to the program.

Impact on Institutional Resources: Because of the manageable cohort size (25 students taking 2 courses per semester, over 5 semesters), the MSE program will not pose any significant strain on institutional or physical resources from either a fiscal, faculty workload, or technology support standpoint. The Vice President for Academic Affairs has worked with the CS to provide resources both to the department and to participating faculty for developing and ultimately implementing the program.

The Computer Science Department has approximately 450 full time equivalent students (FTES) and its current computing resources can accommodate a 20% enrolment increase. Since the anticipated size of the initial MSE enrolment is about 10 FTES, the impact on the computing resources will be minimal. The Computer Science Department’s IT systems are run independently from the campus. They are protected by a number of security mechanism including firewalls, and they do not impact or put at risk campus computing resources.

Additionally, the program received a generous software donation from Parasoft Inc. (see Appendix 11)

18 The Impact of the Program on the Faculty Workload: The MSE program requires that two faculty teach in the program during any 1 of the 5 semesters. In designing the curriculum, the paired courses also lend themselves to enhanced collaboration possibilities between faculty. Faculty teaching an MSE course each semester will have the MSE course counted as part of their regular teaching load.

Additionally, as mentioned earlier, the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) provided assigned time for faculty to develop the MSE proposal. Once the program is approved, the VPAA will contract with, and support, faculty to develop the online courses (@1 course release). Additionally, such a 1 course release will be available for each of the faculty members teaching an on-line MSE course first time. Once developed, the courses will belong to the MSE program.

Balance of Full-Time and Part-Time Faculty: The Department of Computer Science is accredited by ABET and it has 12 tenure track faculty members, four full time lectures and 34 part-time faculty members. Please note however, that while this ratio may appear skewed towards part-time faculty, it is planned that all MSE courses will be taught by full time faculty. The Department of Computer Science has a long-term experience in recruiting and providing orientation to the part-time faculty, should the need for part time faculty to support MSE arise.

Intellectual Property Issues: Currently, the campus has a Senate ad hoc committee on Intellectual Property that has been charged with developing a University Policy Statement on this complex issue. Work is in progress, but no formal policy has been proposed at the present time. MSE faculty are comfortable with contract payment for hire to develop the 10 online courses for the MSE with the understanding that the course content will remain with the MSE program should they elect not to teach in the program. Thus, all works and materials which faculty create or author for the MSE shall be considered works made for hire, and all rights therein in all forms and for all products will vest in the ECS Department of Computer Science including without limitations all patents, trademarks and copyrights therein. Distribution of reading materials will comply with U.S. Copyright Law, Public Law 94-553 permitting access to a single copy of a journal article or book chapter either by or for a teacher for teaching or research purposes.

Faculty Development Support Services: CSUF is fortunate to have excellent faculty development support in the area of instructional technology from a variety of campus units. For example, one of the charges of the Faculty Development Center (FDC) is to support the faculty’s use of the new instructional technologies. To this end, the FDC has site licensed Blackboard and it purchased Tegrity multimedia streaming equipment for the campus. The FDC provides almost 20 free workshops monthly and more intensive summer and intersession training institutes for faculty in learning how to use these new technologies for teaching. All MSE faculty members have participated in numerous FDC training opportunities (e.g., BlackBoard, FrontPage, Tegrity, Dreamweaver) and will continue to seek assistance as needed. Finally, the UEE will also work closely with the MSE Program and provide additional faculty training and support as needed.

A. 8. Student Support Services

19 Registration: Students will be able to enroll and register in the MSE program online through the administrative services of University Extended Education (UEE). Much of the admissions, program, and university information will be made available on the program Website. Upon admission, students will be sent more specific materials about the program, virtual meetings, and other relevant materials.

Student Academic Advising: The MSE program will provide various levels, avenues and forums for academic advising. The MSE Program Coordinator will act as the overall contact person for the program for students and can provide general advisement for most student questions. However, upon enrollment, each MSE student will be assigned to one of the MSE faculty teaching in the program as their initial advisor. At the Virtual Orientation at the beginning of the program, students will receive in- depth academic advising. In addition they will also have individual consultations with program faculty so that they can receive immediate answers to questions and additional support for decisions about the final culminating experiences of the practicum and project. This same process will be repeated during the Virtual Mid-Point Symposium. As students make progress on their culminating project, they may wish to select another faculty advisor depending on their project topic. All students must have their faculty advisor verified by the MSE Program Coordinator by the conclusion of the Mid-Point Symposium and through the completion of an online contract process.

In addition, there will be general academic advising as an ongoing process in the Announcements section of the program site and opportunities for feedback at any time via email and phone contact. Students will also keep a record of their evolving competencies and academic achievement through the development of a cumulative portfolio that they will maintain on a CD and give a separate copy to the

Program Coordinator at the completion of each program segment (2 course cycle). Ongoing analyses of student progress through review of these electronic portfolios will result in additional advising procedures as applicable. Finally, there will be ongoing advising issues as a standing agenda item in the regular meetings of the Program Coordinator and the Program Council.

The program website will contain links to the following offices for additional academic support: *Student Handbook at http://www.fullerton.edu/handbook/ *Office of Graduate Studies at http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/ *Graduate Studies and international students at http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/international.htm *International Education and Exchange at http://www.fullerton.edu/international/ *Disabled Student Center at http://www.fullerton.edu/disabledservices/ *Counseling and Psychological Services at http://www.fullerton.edu/CAPS/ *Career Planning and Placement Center at http://www.fullerton.edu/career/ *Financial Aid at http://www.fullerton.edu/financialaid/ *Campus homepage at http://www.fullerton.edu

Financial Aid: A limited number of Graduate Equity Fellowships and Pre-Doctoral Fellowships are available through the Graduate Studies Office. Additional scholarships or grants are described in the university Scholarship and Awards Bulletin that is published every December. The Bulletin is available from the Financial Aid Office and the Graduate Studies Office Information on state grants and federal loan programs is available at www.fullerton.edu/financial. Additional information regarding graduate 20 financial aid opportunities and policies can be found at http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/financialaid.htm.

Faculty-Student Interactions: As stated earlier, the MSE program curriculum requires students to maintain frequent and regular interaction with both the instructor and other classmates. Overall, students should expect to interact with faculty and students online an average of at least 4 hours per week per course and spend at least 12 hours a week off-line. Thus, students in this program can expect to enjoy fairly sustained contact with faculty and classmates both as a function of their online coursework and through the two required on-campus meetings

A.9. Technology The technology infrastructure and various support programs on campus makes CSUF very well-suited to support an online degree program. Please see section III. B.1 “Campus Technology Infrastructure” for more detail.

A. 10. Library and Information Resources The coordinator of library instruction, reference and electronic resources, has been serving as the MSE program’s Library liaison. In addition, the library recently formed the Library Distance Education Committee specifically designed to meet the growing needs of distance students. Some of the resources the library now provides to distance learning students include:  electronic periodicals that will support the MSE program (see Appendix 13 )  electronic and mail document delivery service  library web page specifically for distance students (http://www.lib.fullerton.edu/distance/ )  newsletter for distance students (and faculty) to inform them of new and existing services  telephone reference service  option of adding chat reference and other methods for delivering library instruction and research help to distance students  Titan Access account to access a rich package of Internet access, email, library online catalog, online reference service, interlibrary loan, and more than 100 online databases. Many of the databases, such as Lexis-Nexis, FirstSearch, Ovid Medline, STAT-USA, CQ Library, J-STOR, offer full text access. Students, faculty members and staff now have the integrated access to a range of resources.

A. 11. Physical Resources With a cohort size of 25 students for this online program, there will be no significant change in physical space on the campus other than the addition of one new faculty position for the MSE program, and reserving appropriate meeting rooms for the on campus meetings.

A. 12. Financial Resources Please see Appendix 14 for an itemized breakdown of costs for the MSE program. Compared to cost estimates of other online programs, the cost of developing and implementing this program is modest. Careful planning and analysis went into developing this comprehensive budget and the program benefits greatly from the fact that the campus already possesses significant services, programs, and

21 offices designed to support instructional technology. In addition, funding for the MS MSE program represents a collaboration from a variety of sources, with primary investments from the Vice President for Academic Affairs, as well as funds from the College of Engineering and Computer Science, University Extended Education. This degree program is not fee-based, with in-state students paying state tuition and out-of-state and international students paying non-residential tuition rates.

A. 13. Plan for Evaluating Educational Effectiveness The MSE plan for evaluating educational effectiveness is both extensive and comprehensive and includes the following: (1) Faculty evaluation of students in individual courses in alignment with the learning goal strands (e.g., see Assessment and Outcome Matrix in Appendix 6); (2) Ongoing and final Program Coordinator evaluation of students’ electronic portfolios; (3) Periodic MSE faculty peer and self-evaluations during MSE retreats and throughout the year; (4) Feedback from the external MSE Advisory Board; (5) MSE Program Coordinator annual evaluation of program data in consultation with the MSE Program Council, the Chair of the CS and the ECS Dean; (6) Regular campus Program Performance Review (PPR) process (see Appendix 17).

A. 14. Plan for Teach-Out Provision In the event of a decision to discontinue the program, CSUF will stop accepting new students, but will continue to honor its commitment to the existing students for completing the remaining coursework.

22 III. SPECIFIC ELEMENTS FOR PROGRAM-RELATED CHANGE PROPOSALS:

B. 1. Computer Support Campus Technology Infrastructure: CSUF’s technology infrastructure makes it ideally suited to deliver an online degree program. From 1991-96, the President’s Technology Plan called for fiber optically wiring the entire campus, making Cal State Fullerton the first campus in the CSU to enjoy a fiber optic infrastructure with internet access. Other technology accomplishments and milestones include the following:  1996-97, Information Technology installed an efficient and badly needed private branch access telephone network for the campus and beginning in 1998, launched our first computer rollout to the entire campus. The rollout was unique in that it put state-of-the art machines on every full-time faculty and full-time staff member’s desk and guaranteed a refresh every three years.  Conversion to a Microsoft Office campus with one Outlook email system has been nothing short of revolutionary in speeding efficiency and the cross-transfer of university work with upgrade to XP this coming summer.  Web accessible student computer labs (over 400 workstations), as well as college-dedicated computer labs.  2001-02 upgrade of all classrooms into smart classrooms with VCR, internet access, and LCD projection capabilities.  Faculty Development Center has site licenses BlackBoard and Tegrity streaming media for use by faculty. When the FDC opened its doors in 1998, there were only 3 faculty from 2 departments using WebCt. Today, more than 600 faculty have course websites on the FDC server utilizing either BlackBoard or FrontPage and over two dozen faculty have put their courses fully online.  The FDC hosts almost 20 workshops for faculty each month as well as offers more intensive summer technology institutes. All MSE faculty have made good use of these training opportunities and will continue to work actively with the FDC in the future.  University Extended Education’s (UEE) Department of Distance Education (DE) also provides technical assistance and occasional funding for faculty interested in online teaching. The half-time Director of Distance Learning is a central member of the MSE team, Dr. Tim Green. Both DE and UEE have provided staff time and funding for the MSE program.  The university provides direct Titan Access dial-up to all students (and faculty and staff) that allows direct access to the university computing network (e.g., direct graphic/multimedia access to University technology resources and to Internet/World Wide Web sites outside the fullerton.edu domain, libraries, mail/computing services, web pages in the fullerton.edu domain, etc.), as well as Internet access.  The university has updated its telecommunication and computing structure, and its currently state- of-the-art facilities are being updated on a regular basis. The library allows online access for all students, with many electronic assets available online.  The university also provides phone-in HELP Desk support for computer or Titan access related issues with extended hours of service in the evening and weekends. Requests for assistance can be left as messages after hours with a response provided the following day. Students may also call or

23 email the Program Coordinator for assistance with computer or access related questions or problems.  The university launched the student portal earlier this semester for increased student customization and includes the following features: o My CSUF- the portal home page, which allows the students to add their own notes and reminders, web links, HTML, and picture o My TITAN Online – provides direct access to class registration, grades, holds, fees, financial aid and other important records information o My E-mail – access to send and receive e-mail from the student’s CSUF email account o My Yahoo E-mail- OR direct access to AOL and Hotmail e-mail accounts o My Library- access to the library circulation records, electronic research sources, interlibrary loans and other key library resources o My Calendar – an online calendar feature to help organize time with the class schedule automatically added to the calendar after registration o My Blackboard - students who are enrolled in any of these classes can assess the academically related services of Blackboard o My Web Cam – view of the campus from one of the several web cams o My Department- access to a favorite academic department o My Links – add own links

 The Computer Science Department will utilize its main server to support student accounts and provide access to software development tools. The CS main server is an Enterprise 3500 Unix Server running Solaris 8. The server contains 3gig RAM, 36 gig disk space, 4 CPUs on 2 motherboards and 2 NIC cards. Additionally, the Department has software licenses for: Netscape, FTP, Telnet, X-Win, TerraTerm. Ada (ObjectAda), COBOL, GC Lisp, Fortran, Java (JDK), C/C++ (MS Visual, Borland, DJGPP), Visual Basic, Pascal, and PowerBuilder,Rational Rose, Parasoft, Oracle 8, and MiniTab.

Intellectual Property Issues: Intellectual property issues were discussed in section A7 (page 18).

Campus Policies Governing Online Distance Learning: University Policy Statement UPS 411.104: Policy on Online Instruction (Appendix 15) was passed the Academic Senate and adopted by the campus in April 2003. The content of this UPS defined online distance learning, addressed some basic student and faculty information issues (e.g., concerns about student academic advising, library access, identification of online courses in the class schedule, course syllabi clarification, faculty control of online content), as well as outlining a process for approval of online courses. The MSE program faculty worked closely with the prior UPS document to ensure that all of the proposed courses were in full compliance.

B. 2. Plan for Evaluation and Assessment Assessment of Student Learning: The MSE Program Coordinator will thoroughly assess students at the point of admission with GPA and/or TOEFL scores, personal statement, resume, and a technology 24 skills interview. See section III. A. 6: “Student Learning Objectives” and “Detailed Assessment and Outcomes Matrix” (Appendix 6) for more details on objectives, corresponding assignments and assessments. The MSE Program Coordinator will review and evaluate student learning as part of their electronic portfolios as well as oversee faculty in the program in conjunction with the MSE Program Council. The external MSE Advisory Board shall meet at least twice per year and shall receive annual monitoring and evaluation reports from the Program Coordinator along with the ECS Dean.

MSE Program Evaluation: While the MSE Program Council and Coordinator will be central to ongoing assessment, separate reviews will also be undertaken on a periodic basis by other sources including:  The Computer Science Department’s Personnel Committee will review faculty work in the program, as it reviews faculty work in all programs, according to the Faculty Personnel Policy and Procedures (UPS 210.000) standards.  The Dean will review faculty allocations and assignments in the context of normal distribution of faculty work.  The MSE advisory board will review the program curriculum periodically.  Normal Periodic Program Reviews (PPR) as mandated by university policy will include reviews of the success of this program. Current Program Performance Review policy at CSUF requires self- study and review every seven years (Appendix 17). .

Academic Honesty And Penalty For Academic Dishonesty With an exception of a team project, students are expected to do their course-work individually and be sole authors of their papers. A grade of "F" will be assigned in the course if the academic dishonesty occurs (see the quote below):

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY The following is taken from the University Rules (UPS 300.021): "Academic dishonesty includes such things as cheating, inventing false information or citation, plagiarism, and helping someone to commit an act of academic dishonesty. It usually involves an attempt by a student to show possession of a level of knowledge or skill, which he/she in fact does not possess. Cheating is defined as the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive, fraudulent, or unauthorized means. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to, the following: using notes or aids or help of other students on tests and examinations in ways other than those expressly permitted by the instructor, plagiarism as defined below, tampering with grading procedures, and collaborating with other on any assignment where such collaboration is expressly forbidden by an instructor. Violation of this prohibition of collaboration shall be deemed on offense for the person or persons collaborating on the work, in addition to the person submitting the work. Plagiarism is defined as the act of taking the work of another and offering it as one's own without giving credit to that source. When sources are used in a paper, acknowledgment of the original author or source must be made through appropriate references and, if directly quoted, quotation marks or indentations must be used"

Textbook: Royce, Walker, Software Project Management, Addison-Wesley

Course Objective and Learning Goals: The students will learn how to plan and control the development activities of a project. The course will cover schedule and cost (staffing) estimation. It will show how to develop a master program plan, define task interrelationships, identify the critical path, and track the progress of a project using methods such as Earned Value Analysis.

Prerequisites: CPSC-461 or equivalent work experience

Course work (Assignments) : There will be one research paper on a topic of your choosing. It should be 20 pages long and us due at the final examination day.

Grading Policy: Your grade will be determined by several of your activities, as follows: Homework 20% Research paper 20% Midterm Examinations 15% for each of two Final Examination 30% You should remember that A’s are given for “outstanding performance”—see your current catalog.

Final : Date: TBD Makeup-Policy: If you are absent from the final, it will be treated as an Unauthorized Withdrawal, which will become an F unless you take action to request an Incomplete.

63 Required Material/Equipment (if Any) None

Penalties for Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty, such as plagiarism or cheating, will result in a grade of F in this course. Repeat “Plagiarism is defined as the act of taking work of another and offering it as one's own without giving credit to that source. When sources are used in a paper, acknowledgment of the original author or source must be made through appropriate references and, if directly quoted, quotation marks or indentations must be used.” If you allow your work to be copied by another student, you are just as guilty of cheating as the person who submits your work as their own and will incur the same penalty. Such offenses may have more severe consequences, up to and including expulsion from the University. The following is taken from the University Rules (UPS 300,021): “Academic dishonesty includes such things as cheating, inventing false information or citations, plagiarism, and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty. It usually involves an attempt by a student to show possession of a level of knowledge or skill which he/she in fact does not possess.” “Cheating is defined as the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive, fraudulent, or unauthorized means. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to, the following: using notes or aids or the help of other students on tests and examinations in ways other than those expressly permitted by the instructor, plagiarism as defined below, tampering with the grading procedures, and collaborating with others on any assignment where such collaboration is expressly forbidden by an instructor. Violation of this prohibition of collaboration shall be deemed an offense for the person or persons collaborating on the work, in addition to the person submitting the work.” There is a fine line between academic dishonesty and collaboration. You may help each other while discussing general approaches to problems. However, each of you must do your own work and submit your answers in your own words. Detailed designs and source code must be your own. If you collaborate with other students, you must list their names in your submission.

Attendance Policy Attendance will be taken; a sign-in sheet will be circulated at every class. There is no explicit contribution to your grade, but it may become an important tie-breaker for borderline cases.

Dear Dr. Huizinga:

Parasoft Corporation is a firm believer of providing computer science students with the most comprehensive training on current software, technologies and methodologies. For this purpose, Parasoft intends to donate automated error prevention software to Cal State Fullerton’s new Master’s of Software Engineering program. Parasoft will donate 100 machine licenses, which values at a total of $1.5 million dollars ($1,500,000.00).

The software that will be provided are listed as follows:

Jtest - An automatic static analysis, unit, and module testing tool for Java that increases code stability, prevents software errors, and automates both black-box and white-box unit-testing techniques.

Jcontract - A run-time and system-level monitoring tool using Design by Contract (DbC) that verifies that your class/ component works and is being used correctly at the system level.

C++test - A unit testing tool that automatically tests any C and C++ class, function, or component without requiring developers to write a single test case, harness, or stub.

Codewizard - An advanced C/ C++ source code analysis tool that uses over 300 coding guidelines to automatically identify dangerous coding constructs that compilers do not detect.

Insure++ - An automatic run-time application testing tool that detects elusive errors such as memory corruption, memory leaks, memory allocation errors, variable initialization errors, variable definition conflicts, pointer errors, library errors, logic errors, and algorithmic errors.

WebKing - A flexible automatic error-prevention solution that exercises web applications to prevent and expose both server- side and client-side errors, improving the reliability and robustness of enterprise Web applications.

The logistics of when and where the software will be installed can be discussed at a later time. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Academic Programs

NEW PROGRAM COST ANALYSIS

1. Degree Program Title: Master of Software Engineering.

2. Number of units required for the new program, major or option: 30.

3. Describe the objectives of the proposed program: The objective of this program is to prepare individuals for careers as software engineers and software process managers in industry and government agencies. The program emphasizes a comprehensive and thorough process-oriented approach to software development and its curriculum is fundamentally grounded in software engineering research, theory, principles, and practice. The emphasis on process-oriented methodologies makes this program unique among professional master’s degrees. The program is designed for professionals working in the field of computer science who wish to further their skills and pursue graduate level education in Software Engineering.

4. Estimate how many students you anticipate in the new program, by level. Also estimate the number of units per student anticipated.

UPS 1st year 2nd year 3rd year enrollment enrollment enrollment

Lower Division

Upper Division

Graduate/Postbaccaulaureate 30 25 50 50

5. Estimate the number of these students who will be attracted from off campus and the number who will be drawn from existing programs:

1st year 2nd year 3rd year

New students 25 25 25

Existing programs 6. This new program will be reviewed at a later date in order to determine whether it is meeting the objectives and enrollments proposed above. For each of the above objectives, suggest specific criteria that can be applied in order to determine whether the

126 objectives are being met. Estimate the minimum enrollments, by level, that will be required to justify the continuation of this program beyond the first three years.

The program will be reviewed by the MSE program council annually. Additionally, periodic evaluations will be conducted by an external reviewer selected by the MSE council with conjunction with the MSE program faculty (see Attachment 7 “MSE Program Governance”). The program objectives and assessment criteria are specified in Attachment 2 ”Detailed Assessment and Outcomes Matrix. The minimum enrollment that will be required to justify the continuation of this program beyond the first three years is 25 students.

7. Estimate by percent which existing on-campus programs will supply the students (see question 5, above) who will transfer to this program:

It is not expected that student will transfer from existing programs to the On-line MSE. As indicated in the answer to question 5, it is expected that all students will be new.

8. Indicate other institutions in the CSU system where this, or a comparable degree program is offered. Describe any comparable program offered in Orange County.

Department of Computer Science at Cal State Sacramento is the only CSU campus to offer a program leading to the degree of Master in Software Engineering. The program is not offered in Orange County.

9a. Will the department or school responsible for conducting the proposed program require new faculty with expertise in the discipline of the proposed program?

Yes X No

If yes, estimate the number of additional faculty positions needed for:

First year Second year Third year

9b. Will the department or school responsible for conducting the proposed program require new faculty in order to respond to the anticipated demand for the new program?

First year Second year Third year X

9c. If no additional faculty resources are allocated to the department or school, what impact will the new program have on present offerings? How many sections of present offerings will be dropped in order to make room for proposed program offerings? (Include impact on service courses as well as on program offerings.)

127 Number of sections which would be dropped annually: 0.

It is expected that the undergraduate Computer Science enrollment will decline in the next two years. Thus, no additional faculty positions will be required as the enrollment growth in MSE will partially offset the enrollment decline in Computer Science. The Computer Science Department has currently three full time faculty members with the extensive Software Engineering background.

10. Estimate the cost per FTES by level for the new program. Provide comparative data for similar or related programs.

The estimated cost per FTES for the new program is $4,370. This estimate is calculated based on per FTES expenditures in 2001/2002 for the Computer Science Department. Specifically, data acquired from the Office of Academic Affairs for the AY 2001/2002 show that the Computer Science expenditures for AY 2001/2002 were $2,472,795. The number of FTES for the same academic year was 567. This yields a cost per FTES of $4361.10.

11. If the proposal is for a new degree program substantially different from current programs and their modes of instruction, please estimate the impact on the need for resources of the following kinds during the first year.

a) graduate assistants 1@20 hours per week

b) clerical/technical support 1@20 hours per week

c) *specialized (lab) facilities sq. feet

d) *modification of existing space $

e) *new equipment $ 4,000

f) materials/supplies $8,000

g) library acquisitions

h) media center support

i) computer center

*: if items c, d or e, please add brief description
