Chairman:		Tom Murphy (Contra Costa College)
Date:		May 9, 2003, 10-2 PM, AA-216
Present:		Charlie Verboom and Greg Kurtzer (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) David Evensky (Sandia National Laboratory) Jeff Becker (NASA Ames) Bebo White (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center)
CCC Present:		Adeliza Flores
Pre-meeting handouts:		A packet of information containing minutes from the last meeting and a new working version of the HPC curriculum.
Purpose of Meeting:		Participants of the meeting went over the new working version of the HPC course curriculum. The Chairman reworked the working version to reflect knowledge students will come in with and knowledge they will leave with after taking each course. One of the main activities of the meeting was renaming and reorganization of the HPC 150 and 170 courses. In addition, the Security Administrator track has been redefined and the courses reorganized to reflect more focused knowledge appropriate for entry level security administration.

Program Start:		The Chairman announced to all members that the program start will be Fall 2004 instead of the original intended date of Fall 2003 due to budget constraints.
Course Changes:		HPC 150 - LAN Overview (formerly called LAN Network Design) Board members agreed that the former title reflected a more ambitious body of knowledge than desired, namely to be able to design local area network. Rather, the course should give students an overview of the design of a local area network. This course is akin to a survey course in LAN Design. HPC 170 - Routing and Network Analysis (formerly Router Configuration and Routing) Corresponding changes were made on this related course that will focus on expanding the important concepts learned in HPC-150 and apply them to a further understanding of routing and network analysis. Please see website for updated changes in course contents.
Security Administrator Track:		The Board members decided to beef up the Security Administrator track to make it a more specialized program, separate from System Administration and Network Administration. A good security administration would have the combined knowledge of a network administrator and a system administrator, in addition to specialized security information. HPC-252, HPC Security Administrator, is replaced with three security related courses. The first will be a general security class suitable for the other administrator tracks. HPC-106 and HPC-240 were removed from the security admin track, since they are not essential for a security admin. It also helps kept the number of units for the security track reasonable. HPC-175: Introduction to Security Administration HPC-264: Further Topics in Security HPC 266: Computer Security Forensics
Next order of business:		Ideas for laboratory activities.
Date of next meeting:		Fall 2003
