ACADEMIC
PROGRAM APPROVAL
CHECKLIST
This form is a routing document for
the approval of new and revised academic programs. Page 2 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 dean. Documentation should include copy of curriculum as it is to
appear in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog. Proposals must arrive to the
Undergraduate/Graduate Committee by November 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.

a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
The Material Science Department, based upon comparison with nearby competitive
institutions and upon agreement of all Chairpersons and the Dean in the
Because of accreditation issues for
our program, the Mechanical Engineering Department has voted to retain a more
practical experience (the lab part of the old MSEG302) in our curriculum and to
keep our program at 122 credits. This will be done by introducing a new
one-credit course MEEG102, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Labs, during
the 1S semester. The course can also continue the introduction of the ME
program/department to the students. This will increase the second-semester
credits for freshman from 14 to 15 and decrease the second-semester credits for
sophomores from 17 to 16.
Included below for informational
purposes is the new course approval information which has been entered into the
course-approval process for the current cycle:
****************************
The
ME Department needs to formally address the change of MSEG302 from four credits/with
a lab - to three credits/no lab.
MEEG102,
Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Labs, 1 credit, lecture & lab/demo:
Introduce
lab techniques and procedures focusing upon data acquisition and data
reporting; also introduces mechanical engineering disciplines.
A
general outline of the course -
1)
introduce labs
a) lab reports
b) data acquisition
i) error analysis
ii) appropriate
statistics
2)
introduce ME disciplines; such as
a) solid mechanics
b) fluid mechanics
c) materials
d) ...
There will be a regular meeting time each week with the first
week (or perhaps two) devoted to introduction and logistics of breaking the
class into lab teams. Then there would be up to four three-week sequences of:
first week introducing the lab/demo to the entire class and the next two weeks
dealing with the logistics of all the lab teams accomplishing the
lab/demo. Two undergraduate teaching
assistants would be assigned to help throughout the course. The course will
have a faculty lead, but it is anticipated that a team of faculty will actually
help organize and implement the various lab/demos. Rooms available for the
lab/demos could include: 021, 103, 109, and 104A Spencer Lab.
********************************
Because the change does move the credit from the sophomore to
the freshman year, assuming this meets the approval of the Faculty Senate, the ME Department will offer an experimental version
of the course, MEEG167, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Labs, 1 credit,
for Spring 2004 for the current freshman class.
