Agenda for CSE Department Meeting 9-20-21

Departmentwide Topics

Department Promotional Video

• 2-3 minutes, focused on undergrad programs
• requested two, one for CS and one for management. Want for each:
• a theme/direction
• 2 faculty interviews - nominations?
• 2 student interviews - nominated: Summer, Alan F., Samuel N., Mariano G., Matthew K., (Isaiah L declined)
• compelling imagery
• two half-days' of filming, one for interviews, one for labs, probably during October

Cybersecurity Grant

Lorie would like to find out if there are labs needed that she can include, e.g., Dr. Shin has suggested a Situational Awareness teaching lab.

Covid policy: when-students-can-come-back reminder

Per the NMT resiliency plan, it depends on their symptoms:

• at least one day with no fever and no fever medicine needed, PLUS
• at least 10 days, PLUS
• if you were hospitalized or are immunocompromised, 10 more days (20 total)

I guess that they figure you are no longer contagious after this period, whether covid tests still say positive or not. This is consistent with CDC guidelines.

Spring 2022 Schedule

Please think about the 2022 schedule.

• you may request what you want in terms of courses, days, and times
• don't expect to get whatever you want.
• if you plan on doing anything irregular, you must get permission.

Grad Recruiting

As far as Aly is concerned, now is prime recruiting season. Any ideas? For the most part, I think our first priority must be to obtain additional funding for them.

CS Program Topics

CS Fall Advisory Board meeting

I am trying to get a day/time that the advisory board can meet for 3 hours, later next week or the following week.

CS Grad Seminar Talks

So far we have had:

• 1 from Texas Tech
• 1 from UNM

Pending

• 1 from NMSU
• 2+ colloquiua, held jointly with UIdaho
• Would like your talk here, especially if you hire/recruit students. It might be possible to do a joint talk with UIdaho, although their schedule is filling up.

In MST advisory board, the topic of training teachers to offer dual credit courses came up.
