Undergraduate minor:____________________________________________________

(Example: African Studies, Business Administration, English, Leadership, etc.)

Graduate Program Policy statement change:_________________________________

(Must attach your Graduate Program Policy Statement)

Graduate Program of Study:______________________________________________

(Example: Animal Science: MS Animal Science: PHD Economics: MA Economics: PHD)

Graduate minor / concentration:___________________________________________

Note: all graduate studies proposals must include an electronic copy of the Graduate Program Policy Document, highlighting the changes made to the original policy document.

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program objectives of the major/minor/concentrations)?

(Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)

ELEG 491 (Ethics and Impacts of Engineering) is being added to the curriculum; it is essentially an expansion to the old CPEG 490 to three credits. (The CPEG cross listing is being removed so that student evaluations are more easily gathered.) This is being done at the request of ABET, the accreditation board, who requested that more ethics and communications information be presented in our programs.

Explain, when appropriate, how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/

While the primary goal of this revision is to satisfy ABET, it does speak directly to goal number four “Engage questions of ethics and recognize responsibilities to self, community, and society at large.”

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

None.

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

The three-credit ELEG 491 is being added to satisfy ABET requirements for ethics and professional development.

Program Requirements:

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog. If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
