Catalog description, in the present tense:
ENGR 356 - Supply Chain Engineering (3 credits). (Prereq: ENGR 201, or permission of the instructor). This course utilizes mathematical modeling and solution tools for logistics and service operations. We study manufacturing and logistic activities across the global supply chain. Emphasis is on supply chain technical design, implementation, and safety functions. Topics include transportation and distribution networks, inventory requirements, demand planning, materials handling and warehousing, supply chain contracts, manufacturing flexibility, product design, and using available SAP or other ERP systems.

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 is an upper level elective offering which is being developed now in response to strong student interest and in anticipation of a future Engineering Science program concentration creation, where it will be a required course. See attached syllabus for details.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The main impact will be positive. When polled last semester, many students expressed an interest in a supply chain course. The knowledge and design skills taught in this area are highly marketable and widely relevant in industry.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
The course will be taught by the program's Engineer-in-Residence, an adjunct/affiliated post which is independently funded and this will be the case for the foreseeable future.

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€
