<p>Thank you to everyone who replied to my post from yesterday.</p>
<p>I determined that at least five universities -- Yale, Cornell,
Colorado/Boulder, Minnesota, and Athens -- all have history
courses, not just special topics (as is my current course), as
part of the catalogs in technical departments. I shared that list
and the course links with my department administration.</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I've been teaching a special topics course in computer history
for three semesters here at NJIT. The university policy is three
semesters maximum, then the course must be made permanent or
cancelled. So I'm going through the process of trying to make it
permanent.</p>
<p>The department administration supports it, but it has to be
voted on by the rank-and-file faculty, many of whom don't seem
to understand the value of a history course -- or at least not
of a history course in a technical department, rather than
through our humanities college.</p>
<p>It would help if I can show them other examples. Can anyone
point me existing examples of history courses in CS, EE, or
other technical departments at U.S. universities?<br>
