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”)

There are two new courses required in the updated curriculum for Chemical Engineering. Both of these courses are the result of new college policies that require all engineering curricula to have a similar first semester in the freshman year.

CISC106 General Computer Science for Engineering (3 cr)

Principles of computer science illustrated and applied through programming in Matlab and C. Programming projects illustrate computational problems, styles, and issues that arise in computation.

This course addresses the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology educational outcome: students should have the ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. The college recognizes that all engineering students should master basic programming skills for the use of computers and sophisticated computer software. This course aims at addressing this need.

EGGG101 Introduction to Engineering (2 cr)

Introduction to the profession, including disciplines of chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, and mechanical engineering. Prepares students for success through integration of: technical problem solving and engineering design, ethical decision-making, teamwork, and communicating to diverse audiences.

This course will become the First Year Experience (FYE) for all engineering students. It aims at introducing the University of Delaware, the diverse branches of engineering and orient students toward a successful and productive use of the educational opportunities offered by the College of Engineering.

We have also added one laboratory credit to the course CHEG401 Chemical Process Dynamics. This credit addresses the fact that students have been conducting a laboratory as part of the course in recent semesters.

There is no net effect in the total number of credits in our curriculum. One technical elective and one general education elective have been removed from the existing curriculum (6 credits) and we have added CISC106 (3 cr), EGGG101(2 cr) and one additional credit for CHEG401.

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

The changes implemented in the curriculum address two of the 10 goals of undergraduate education. First is goal 4: Engage questions of ethics and recognize responsibility to self, community and society. In particular one of the objectives of EGGG101 is to start the discussion with students about the nature of professional responsibility and the essential need for engineers to design/produce goods and services that improve the quality of life of the society at large. Second, we hope that this course will make students recognize that most work in the private and public sectors is conducted in teams of individuals comprising various disciplines. It should also convey that successful participation in such teams requires respect for others point of view and ability to communicate effectively with individuals of different backgrounds.

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

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

The Computer and Information Sciences Department has agreed to teach the course CISC106 to all engineering freshmen. Please see attached note from Prof. David Saunders from CISC.

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

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

It has been determined by the COE that admissions to the college is affected negatively by the fact that students have to choose an engineering discipline as their major before they arrive at the University of Delaware. To address this problem, the COE has agreed to have a common first semester for all engineering departments. The proposed changes in the Chemical Engineering curriculum are designed to comply with this COE requirement. Since these changes affected mainly the fall semester of the freshman year, we needed to rearrange a few courses (CHEM119, MATH305) to a different location in the curriculum to remain within 17 cr of required courses each semester.

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.)
