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 request is to create one of the courses identified as needed in the above gap analysis. ENGR 244 will be a required course for Engineering Science majors. See attachments for details.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The main impact of the new course offering will be positive, as students will develop content knowledge and problem solving skills in an area assessed in the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and relied upon heavily in advanced coursework and research activity.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
This course will take the place of one faculty's rotation of an upper level elective course offering and so will not create new teaching load.

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 learning”, that Program facilities contain (2) “Modern tools, equipment , computing resources, and laboratories”, and that Program facilities be (3) “available, accessible, and systematically maintained and upgraded.” Source: https://www.abet.org/accreditation/accreditation-criteria/criteria-for-accrediting-engineering-programs-2019-2020/#GC7
