PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING DEGREE PROGRAM IN THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING SECTION IN THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG

Transcription

1 PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING DEGREE PROGRAM IN THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING SECTION IN THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG Type of Change Academic Change 1. IF THE ANSWER TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IS YES, THE COLLEGE MUST CONSULT NEAL ARMSTRONG TO DETERMINE IF SACS-COC APPROVAL IS REQUIRED. Is this a new degree program? No Does the program offer courses that will be taught off campus? No Will courses in this program be delivered electronically? No 2. EXPLAIN CHANGE TO DEGREE PROGRAM AND GIVE A DETAILED RATIONALE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CHANGE (include page numbers in the catalog where changes will be made): 1. CE 14K, Properties & Behavior of Engineering Materials, will move into the 1 st semester of the rd year of the degree program changing it from basic sequence to major sequence. The CE 14K course number will change since we will be applying for an upper-division number for this course. This is due to the movement in the degree plan of prerequisite courses, EM 19, which is a prerequisite for CE 14K and EM 06, which is a prerequisite for EM 19. EM 06 needs to be moved since PHY 0K, 10M, and M 408D will be prerequisites for EM 06 instead of co-requisites. 2. CE 19F, Elementary Mechanics of Fluids, will change from major sequence to basic sequence. This course will move into the 2 nd semester of the 2 nd year of the degree program since it will now be in the basic sequence. This movement is to have this course classification be consistent with the BS Civil Engineering degree.. Mathematics 427K, Advanced Calculus for Applications I, will change from a basic sequence course to an other required course. This is changing to be consistent with the course classification in the BS Civil Engineering degree program.. SCOPE OF PROPOSED CHANGE a. Does this proposal impact other colleges/schools? No b. Will students in other degree programs be impacted (are the proposed changes to courses commonly taken by students in other colleges)? No c. Will students from your college take courses in other colleges? No d. Does this proposal involve changes to the core curriculum or other basic education requirements (42-hour core, signature courses, flags)? No e. Will this proposal change the number of hours required for degree completion? No 4. COLLEGE/SCHOOL APPROVAL PROCESS Department approval date: March 8, 201 College approval date: March 25, 201 Dean approval date: April 8, 201

2 Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering Program Outcomes Program Educational Objectives Dual Degree program in Architectural Engineering and Architecture Curriculum Course requirements are divided into three categories: basic sequence courses, major sequence courses, and other required courses. In addition, each student must complete the University s Core Curriculum. In some cases, a course required for the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering may also be counted toward the core curriculum; these courses are identified below. To ensure that courses used to fulfill the social and behavioral sciences and visual and performing arts requirements of the core curriculum also meet ABET criteria, students should follow the guidance given in ABET Criteria. In the process of fulfilling engineering degree requirements, students must also complete coursework to satisfy the following flag requirements: one independent inquiry flag, one quantitative reasoning flag, one ethics and leadership flag, one global cultures flag, one cultural diversity in the US flag, and two writing flags. The independent inquiry flag, the quantitative reasoning flag, the ethics and leadership flag, and one writing flag are carried by courses specifically required for the degree; these courses are identified below. Students are advised to fulfill the second writing flag requirement with a course that meets another requirement of the core curriculum, such as the first-year signature course. Courses that may be used to fulfill flag requirements are identified in the Course Schedule. Enrollment in major sequence courses is restricted to students who have received credit for all of the basic sequence courses and have been admitted to the major sequence. Requirements for admission to a major sequence are given in Admission and Registration. Enrollment in other required courses is not restricted by completion of the basic sequence.
