I [Tom] took a few minutes to look through the UT Austin proposal.  They are
planning an 8 course sequence of required courses.  It is mostly the
same material we currently have, organized along the Stanford model of
a sequence for programming, systems, and theory, with cross-links.
They are on semesters, so that’s the equivalent of 12 quarters for us
(including 142/143).  The most radical thing they are planning is to
drastically reduce the math requirements: one semester of calculus,
followed by a CS-only one semester of linear algebra, and a CS-only
one semester of prob&stat.  They then add tracks at the 4xx level.
They are also proposing to teach a special version of each of the 8
required courses to their honors students (they don’t have a
restricted major).
