What research has led to this request?
The program's accrediting body, ABET, revised and updated their student learning outcomes and curriculum requirements effective this academic year. As a new program going for initial accreditation in 2020, the revisions necessitated a significant redesign of the Engineering Science program's major requirements, pattern of course offerings, and required and elective courses. A significant program outcome is to prepare graduates for professional licensure. A gap analysis was performed against ABET’s new curricular requirements as well as the latest content of the relevant license exams and the creation of several new courses was warranted, with subsequent accommodating adjustments to existing courses. See attachments for details.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The main impact will be positive. The program is better organized, can more clearly demonstrate accreditor-required outcomes coverage and meeting of industry and graduate programs' expectations of engineering graduates knowledge, skills and experience. The program is much more likely to achieve initial accreditation with ABET for the 2020-21 submission cycle and much more likely to produce graduates who are able to pass licensure exams and/or obtain admission to graduate school.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
In total, approximately 1.5-2.0 new faculty will be required over the next 2-3 years, to cover teaching loads as larger program cohorts matriculate into upper division coursework, including courses newly created as part of the program revision. One of these new positions is already allocated at present.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
