We have removed the year standing prereq from the following courses:
- SENG350 - Software Architecture and Design
- SENG360 - Security Engineering
- SENG401 - Social and Professional Issues
- SENG474 - Data Mining
- SENG499 - Design Project II
SENG401 has new prereqs, requiring completion of one of the following courses:
- CSC320 - Foundations of Computer Science
- CSC360 - Operating Systems
- CSC370 - Database Systems
