Current catalog description:
ENGR 201 - Engineering Problem Solving (3 credits). (Prereq: ENGR 101) In this course, students work in multi-disciplinary teams to formulate and solve engineering problems using robotics systems and MATLAB. The course covers reading, interpreting, and writing programs, debugging, loops, and conditional statements. Project management principles are also introduced as the framework in which group members cooperate. The course culminates in a design challenge that requires teams to devise a system, component, or process to meet desired needs with given constraints. S.
Proposed catalog description, in the present tense, including prefix, number, title, (credits), (prerequisites), (co-requisites), course description, and semesters offered. Catalog description should be exactly as it is to appear in the catalog.:

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. Given the large increase in program enrollment, offering the introductory sequence every F and S term has become necessary. Explicit mention of MATLAB in the course description is removed, so that course delivery is not tied to a specific software package in future. See attachments for details.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The course change will increase the flexibility of the program's introductory sequence and offer new and transfer students greater ease of entry.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
A new $75/student lab fee is requested to be added. Given the project based nature of the course pedagogy, this is necessary for upkeep of the robotics components.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
