---++Learning to Learn
   1. CSC 261 and CSC 463
   1. Learning in courses
      a. Simple tasks in things like Programming 1 and Database
      a. CSC 112 and CSC 490, CSC 322
      a. CSC 312, CSC 314, and CSC 310
---++Cloud Computing
   1. CSC 312, and CSC 314
   1. Use of virtual machines in programming sequence
   1. Other areas?
---++Programming
   1. Language:  Java because it is safer and less sloppy than python, C, etc.
   1. CSC 121: Methods, arrays, recursion.  Designs given to students
   1. CSC 221: Larger programs, learning to design, objects, event programming, GUI, threads, etc.
   1. CSC 322: Advanced data structures
   1. CSC 421: Quality coding, design patterns, etc.
   1. For engineers: ITSC 121
   1. For general folks: CSC 102
---++Integration of ethics, cyber security, professional skills
   1. Ethics
      a. For CSC 112, 3 standard questions for most areas:
         i. What should the response of a digital citizen be?
         i. What should the response of a computing professional be?
         i. What should the response of a Christian be?
      a. For every other course: At least one ethical topic that is specific to that course
      a. For the Software Development report (for each program from CSC 121 and on): What are some possible ethical issues (for good and for bad) of the software?
   1. Cyber Security:
      a. For every course:  At least two areas of cyber security associated with that course
      a. For the Software Development report:  What are some possible security issues associated with the program?
   1. Professional skills
      a. College gems
      a. Note taking: Providing guidance, decreasing the support as they progress, and other techniques
      a. Time management: Initially recording time spent to program, to predicting and than assessing the accuracy of the prediction
      a. Quality of work:  Requiring students to indicate how they improved from the previous assignment.
      a. Communication: Covering technical writing and speaking in CSC 112 and CSC 490
---++What is not our emphasis
   1. Information technology
   1. User interfaces
   1. Low level (architecture, assembly language, etc.)
   1. Operating systems and compilers
---++Partnership with Huntington College
Sharing courses for when students are out of sync, lack of demand, etc.<br>
Environment, etc.
