ACADEMIC PROGRAM APPROVAL
CHECKLIST
This form is a routing document for the
approval of new and revised academic programs. Page 1 will serve as an
attachment to the Faculty Senate agenda. Proposing department should complete
form, attach as a cover page and forward to the college deans. Documentation
should include copy of curriculum as it is to appear in the Undergraduate and
Graduate Catalog. Proposals must progress through appropriate committees during
fall semester in order to reach the Faculty Senate by March 1. Proposals
received after this date cannot be implemented the following year nor included
in the catalog for that year.

4. Rationale for creation, revision,
or description:
Require one additional core course for Ph.D. M.S.E degree in order to
add a needed competency in polymer science.
Through various inputs from the industries, students graduating from the
Materials Science and Engineering Department, and surveys it was determined
that in order to have a well rounded off education which covers all the basic
facets of Materials Science, all students should have competencies in both hard
and soft materials. The addition of MSEG
630 as a required course will provide that competency for all the students regardless
of what their eventual field of research would be.
5. Summary of proposed program:
A course on polymers, MSEG 630 Introduction to Science and Engineering of Polymer Systems, is being added as a required course. The addition of this course as a required course does not change the total number of required credit hours to receive a MMSE or a MSE Ph D degree.
The revised number of required courses, with the addition MSEG 630 Introduction to Science and Engineering of Polymer Systems, will be 5, as listed below:
MSEG 803 Equilibria in Materials Systems
MSEG 804 Kinetics in Materials Systems
MSEG 602 Structure of Materials
MSEG 607 Physical Properties of Materials I
MSEG 630 Introduction to the Science and Engineering of Polymer
Systems
The addition of MSEG 630 as a required course will provide the competency in Polymers Science for all the students regardless of what their eventual field of research would be.
