input: [Possible CSE Perspective] BI and CE can comply, at the cost of modifying Professional Issues and Ethics courses. CS can comply in first year, as far as potential CS students enrolled in the flexible engineering first year are concerned, and after first year, if they in fact elect to take CS, they are no longer in a BE degree, so presumably the requirement no longer applies. The only 3 UoC course in CS at present is COMP2920 Professional Issues and Ethics. SE has more problems. Again, compliance in first year is possible, by folding the material in INFS1611 into SENG1031. The later SENG workshops are 3 UoC, though they could be viewed as 6 UoC full-year courses that are implemented as 2 × 3 UoC courses because NSS cannot cope with full-year courses. This is not historically accurate, but we could take the view that we would fold them into 6 UoC full-year courses and so comply, except NSS won't let us. The extra examination load (per se) imposed by this requirement is negligible, as SENG workshops are assessed by project, not by examination. Note that students normally take a 3 UoC GenEd course in the sessions in which they take SENG workshop courses in second and third years. SE Program Director and creator of the SE program, Ken Robinson, points out that students need a full academic year to go through the learning experience that is involved in the second and third year SENG workshops, and that it would be invidious to accept imposed changes that compromised the academic goals of the program without strong reasons that actually apply in the case of this particular program. [Faculty/AB Perspective] 
output: The Dean wants all courses to be 6 UoC. This won't work for GenEd courses, and may not be achievable for courses taught outside the Faculty (e.g. Mathematics, Physics). No written reason has been given for this requirement, but it is believed to be aimed at some Engineering programs that consist of lots of 4 and 3 UoC courses, which are alleged to course examination overload for students.
