| Type of program: | |
| The program will be offered at: |
| Existing courses required for completion of program: (list each individually, one course per line, with course number, title, and credit hours) | |
|---|---|
| None. | |
| Courses new to university offering required for completion of program: (list each individually, one course per line, with course number, title, and credit hours) | |
| None. | |
| Deletion of required courses | |
| None. | |
| Existing courses which can be used as electives in program: (list each individually, one course per line, with course number, title, and credit hours; if options exist, list by option) | |
| None. | |
| Courses new to university offering which can be used as electives in program: (list each individually, one course per line, with course number, title, and credit hours; if options exist, list by option) | |

| None. | |
| Change in admissions requirements for direct admits | |
| Current requirements: Proposed requirements: | |
| Change in admissions requirements for students using intercollege transfer | |
| Current requirements: Proposed requirements: | |
| Change in admissions requirements to a graduate program | |
| Current requirements: Proposed requirements: Applicants with a BS or MS in a discipline other than engineering must take 24 credits of undergraduate couse work for bridgeup. Among these credits are the courses 4200:321 Transport Phenomena and 4200:351 Fluid and Thermal Operations. This proposed course will replace these two courses in the admission requirement. | |
| Implementation Plan | |
| The new course 4100:411 or 511 will be an option to meet admission requirements for all applicants wishing to enter either the MS in Chemical Engineering program or PhD in Engineering program in the Chemical or Mechanical Engineering disciplines that have a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in a discipline other than engineering. The additional requirements for undergraduate coursework in calculus, differential equations, one year of classical physics are not changed. Students who have taken equivalent courses may be given credit. Students may take the 411 course for credit while entrolled in an undergraduate program. Students with the BS degree or MS degree may be given provisional admission to the graduate program to take the 511 course. This change will take effect for fall semester 2000. | |

| Rationale: | |
| EN-00-03
Rationale: The current requirement of 24 credit hours for bridgeup is a large impediment for students wishing to enter the graduate program in engineering when they do not have a BS degree in engineering. The fundamentals needed for bridgeup to prepare students for the graduate level curriculum can be condensed into fewer courses than are presently offered. By condensing and combining courses, the bridgeup requirements are reduced thereby removing the impediment. It is expected that more non-engineering BS students will enroll in the graduate programs in engineering. | |
