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 course creation, ENGR 397 Independent Research, provides one among several options for Engineering Science students to fulfill the program's Professional Enhancements requirement. This role was previously filled in the curriculum by ENGR 399, but this course has been repurposed to the first course in the Senior Capstone sequence. See attachments for details.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The main impact will be positive as students will have a mechanism to continue to engage in faculty-directed, one-on-one or small group exploratory research.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
This course will not be taught in load, but will be for credit banking.
