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. This specific course change recasts the existing ENGR 202 graphics course as a 100-level course, temporarily retiring the previous course for later re-purposing as an advanced graphics course. Additionally, the new ENGR 102 course has no prereqs. and is offered both F and S terms. See attachments for details.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The main impact will be positive. New and transfer students will have greater ease of entry into the Engineering Science program and existing students will be better able to plan completion of the course.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
A new lab fee $75 is requested, to fund maintenance of software licenses and special graphics workstations, and to maintain supplies for hand-drawing lab exercises and 3D printing of demonstration models.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
By temporarily retiring the 202 course and creating the 102 course, there is no net change in teaching load at present. The department already offers the course every term, so there is no teaching load change created by reflecting this in the catalog description.

Are any of the new resources needed for Accreditation purposes? Yes
Explanation:
A Lab fee of $75 is requested to generate funds to obtain new capital equipment for demonstrations and laboratories, and to maintain existing equipment. Substantial laboratory development is necessary for achievement of Program student learning outcomes, which has an impact on accreditation. ABET accreditation Criterion 7: Facilities establishes the standard to which laboratory support for instruction should attain to. The manual for ABET Program Evaluators (PEVs) persons states that facilities, including labs must be (1) “Adequate to support attainment of student outcomes and provide an atmosphere conducive to learningâ€, that Program facilities contain (2) “Modern tools, equipment , computing resources, and laboratoriesâ€, and that Program facilities be (3) “available, accessible, and systematically maintained and upgraded.â€
