Add new curriculum page alongside previous curriculum

[Copilot]

Adds a new curriculum page structure that coexists with the existing curriculum, both available in English and Turkish.

Changes

• Created curriculum boilerplate files: curriculum-new.{en,tr}.md with identical structure to existing curriculum (8 semesters, prerequisite graphs, committee section)
• Updated existing curriculum titles: Added "(Previous)" / "(Önceki)" suffix to distinguish from new curriculum
• Updated navigation menus: Both curricula now appear under Undergraduate section with "New Curriculum" appearing first (weight: 302), "Previous Curriculum" second (weight: 303)

Both pages maintain Hugo shortcodes ({{< table >}}, {{< people >}}), Mermaid prerequisite graphs, and bilingual support.

Original prompt

Add a boilerplate page for the new curriculum in the style of the previous. They must coexist together. Curriculum pages must be prepared botjh in English and Turkish.

I have updated the undergraduate curriculum structure to reflect the newly approved curriculum and introduced supporting pages and metadata updates related to the transition plan.

Changes Included

• Updated the New Curriculum Page
  Refreshed content to match the latest curriculum approved for Fall 2025 and beyond.

• Added a Transition Plan Page
  Created a dedicated page outlining how students should follow the old vs. new curriculum based on their enrollment year.

• Added Notices to Curriculum Pages
  Included a transition-plan notice on all curriculum-related pages to guide students appropriately.

• Created New Course Pages
  Added pages for all courses that received new course codes.

• Updated Course Tags for People
  Added the new course tags to faculty/staff currently associated with the corresponding courses.

Open Questions

I wasn't entirely sure whether new course pages were preferred or if updating the existing ones was more appropriate.
Given the credit and catalogue changes, I chose to create new pages for clarity.
I can make revisions based on feedback. @doganulus @uskudarli

We must come up a better presentation for these notes.

[Copilot]

Could you clarify what presentation style you'd prefer for these footnotes? Some options could be: a styled alert/notice box, a collapsible section, a table format, or a different markdown formatting approach.

[gokceuludogan]

What about something like this?

New version:

I would prefer a separate PR for the transition plan.

This one should belong to the curriculum page first.

[doganulus]

Some random points:

• Titles of old and new pages do not match.
• Page descriptions do not read well.
• Previously it was six CC courses. Now it is three CMPE xxx (but it must follow the same style in the table so CMPEXXX) and three CC. The CC list includes CMPEXXX courses too. These must be presented in a uniform style. These rules must be explained in elective pages (@birkany)
• Similarly prerequisites between old and new pages must share the same style.
• Total should go first column of tables if it exists (maybe?)
• Instead of New/Previous adjectives, years can be used to address curricula. E.g. Curriculum 2025
• Still not sure about notes presentation.

[gokceuludogan]

I have revised the pages:

• Page descriptions do not read well.

Could you please clarify if this refers to the page descriptions or the content text on the page itself? I currently used the existing descriptions.

• Previously it was six CC courses. Now it is three CMPE xxx (but it must follow the same style in the table so CMPEXXX) and three CC. The CC list includes CMPEXXX courses too. These must be presented in a uniform style. These rules must be explained in elective pages (@birkany)

I have standardized all elective slots to **"CC" (Complementary Course) for the time being. Based on the feedback/discussion, I could make the distinction visible in suggested ways.

• Similarly prerequisites between old and new pages must share the same style.

I have fixed the prerequisites and styling across both the 2025 and Pre-2025 pages. The order of courses and the formatting of prerequisite codes are now identical between the two versions to ensure consistency.

• Total should go first column of tables if it exists (maybe?)

Should I move the total row to the very top of the course list for each semester (immediately below the headers)?

• Instead of New/Previous adjectives, years can be used to address curricula. E.g. Curriculum 2025

I adopted the year-based naming convention as suggested. The pages are now titled:

• Curriculum (2025)
• Curriculum (Pre-2025)

• Still not sure about notes presentation.

I have implemented a new, modern "Callout" design for the notes.

We are meeting about transition details. So, maybe hold off a bit on that.

Some more comments for @gokceuludogan:

• Dependency graph must be updated for moving courses. The previous version maintained semester per row. Yet mermaid layout algorithm is a little chaotic.
• Website always uses CMPE rather than CmpE.
• The concept of new elective types must be explained in Electives page.
• I don't understand what the statuses of PHYS202 and HUM10X courses are. Are they special electives or the first among equals or else? Science Elective and HSS could be enough in the table. (needs discussion before)
• Let's not use prerequisites column for notes. Perhaps some codes must be invented. Maybe SCCC, SPCC, CC similar to SENIOR. This way looks confusing.
• When those are clarified, we may not need notes section at all.

[doganulus]

We may have a news item once the new curriculum page has launched.

Yes, it really is. I managed to align the courses horizontally per semester, but the vertical alignment is still messy. Any tips?

• Website always uses CMPE rather than CmpE.

Noted.

• The concept of new elective types must be explained in Electives page.
• I don't understand what the statuses of PHYS202 and HUM10X courses are. Are they special electives or the first among equals or else? Science Elective and HSS could be enough in the table. (needs discussion before)

Revised them based on your suggestion and commented out the callout right now.

[doganulus]

There is a layout problem (probably missing column in markdown table) in the Turkish page:

@gokceuludogan

• Updated some terminology and reordered some courses.
• Removed dependency graph temporarily.
• Removed curriculum commission member from the page.

Let's check courses and credits once more and this is ready to go.

I have reviewed the changes and the courses and credits once more. Everything looks good to me!

Ok we will merge this on Monday.
