PROGRAM REVISIONS COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES B.A./B.S. Social Studies Education Summary

The proposed change expands the combination of courses in economics and geography that can be applied to fulfill the non-licensure requirements. The revision will add Geography 130 World Geography to the current options. The revision will add Economics 200 Macroeconomics and provide students with a choice of ECON100 or ECON200. Rationale

The proposed change will increase flexibility in several ways by allowing students to have increased options for non-licensure. In the case of economics, students who are unsure as to whether or not to seek licensure in economics will be able to complete a course (ECON200) that will count towards both licensure and non-licensure. Currently, student have only one option (ECON100) and this option cannot be applied to licensure. As required, ECON200 maps to the IPSB standards associated with macroeconomics. In the case of geography, many 1st year students enroll in world geography (GEOG130) prior to declaring a major in SSE to later learn that the MCS:IC course will not count towards non-licensure. Insofar as world geography maps to the standards, the addition of the course to the non-licensure option is appropriate. Further, the addition of ECON200 and GEOG130 will expand the opportunity to offer SSE learning communities and provide staffing flexibility. Finally, the SSE major has a large number of transfer students and these courses are often transferred in, thereby making the major more attractive to transfer students.

UNDERGRADUATE PROPOSALS – Program Revisions: continued SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY Mechanical Engineering Technology

Executive Summary:

The purpose of the proposed modification is to make the existing curriculum and program more responsive to the rapid changes of technology and the needs of industries, particularly to satisfy the increasing needs of the US industries for engineering technology professionals, to provide students with more flexibility and career options to meet their educational and professional development needs, and to increase the program’s recognition and enhance its strategic strength in the competition of higher education market. The program title will be changed from “Mechanical Design Technology (MDT)” to “Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET)”. The modified curriculum will not change the total credit hours required

Academic Notes 12 May 3, 2004

(124) for graduation, nor require any new courses to be developed. Only two existing courses need minor modification (IMT404 and IMT405, see Attachment A and B for comparison). The curriculum structure is re-arranged in five parts (Attachment B): required technical courses (48 hrs.), technical electives (6 hrs), management electives (6 hrs), basic science and mathematics (24 hrs), and other general education requirements. As indicated in Attachment C, the existing MDT curriculum has already been very similar to that of a typical nationally accredited mechanical design engineering technology program. Therefore the effort to implement the proposed revision would not be significant. Specific objectives include: (1) revise the current curriculum to emphasize the ability and skill in practical problem solving for engineering technology applications, especially in the mechanical design area; (2) develop a “closer” or more effective partnership with local/regional industries through the implementation of the proposed modification to create more opportunities for students to enhance their skill and experiential learning through the activities of the partnership, such as co-op, internship, contests, and collaborative research and development projects; (3) develop better articulation programs with local and regional high-schools and technical colleges through proposed changes to meet their needs for flexibility and career options. The clientele to be served by the modified program includes “traditional” students (e.g. high school graduates), in-service professionals, and transfer students; and (4) increase out-of-state enrollment by drawing more non-Indiana residents including international students into the program to generate more revenue and establish a nationwide and worldwide recognition. Given a globally popular recognition and increasingly demanding needs for engineering technology professionals (e.g. as predicted by the US Department of Labor, there will be more than 2.5 millions ET positions from now to 2010), the modified program will attract more students to significantly increase its enrollment, from local/regional areas as well as other countries. A number of local employers and students (including graduates) have voiced their strong interest and support for an engineering technology curriculum at ISU. In the last annual meeting (2003) of MDT Industry Advisory Committee, all members unanimously agreed to support the initiative for launching this program modification (see Attachment F). Anticipated career outcomes include professionals such as engineers, technologists, specialists, and technical managers. The modification will also allow more flexibility for the program to pursue additional or more appropriate accreditation to improve its national and international recognition. This is an additional strategic advantage to promote the program to maximize the benefits to our customers: students and industry employers. UNDERGRADUATE PROPOSALS – Program Revisions: Mechanical Engineering Technolgy- continued Rationale:

The rapid advancement of technological development and overall steady growth of economy in the United States has caused a continuous need for technical professionals, including engineers and technologists. It has been predicted that by the year of 2010, more than 2.5 millions engineering and engineering technology jobs will be created in the United States. These positions require strong technical skill and experience in addition to theoretical understanding (US Department of Labor). A recent study by the National Science Board and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2003) showed that there has been a shortage of US graduates from engineering and engineering technology, and the demands for this type of professional will increase three times faster than all job categories this decade. It is critical for any institution

Academic Notes 13 May 3, 2004

of higher education to notice this huge market need and to participate in the competition to satisfy the need. On the other hand, as rapid and remarkable revolutions are made in technological advancement (e.g. affordable computing powers, fast-growing information technology, higher level of system integration), the gap between traditional concepts of “engineering” and “technology” has been significantly narrowed. This is characterized by a two-way changes: engineering tasks require more skill development and hands-on experience due to the revolution of “tools”, while technology needs more understanding of the tool and applications due to the technological advancement and increased sophistication of modern technical systems. This transition has resulted in a rapid development of engineering technology programs nationwide, which has been welcomed, not only by students, but also by industries, military and other governmental or social sectors (e.g. see Attachment E for a list of local/regional employers who have expressed strong support to this modification). In fact, in many states, the nationwide popular Professional Engineer (PE) Exam requires candidates be prepared through engineering technology programs. Many potential students and their parents are aware of this and looking for such programs. Many high schools (e.g. Terre Haute South, Green Castle High) have established pre-engineering technology curriculum/program for their students and are looking for universities that would “articulate” with their efforts. It would be a strategic mistake if any institution ignores these developments. In fact, the existing MDT program has already been very similar to a typical nationally accredited mechanical design engineering technology program (see attachment C for comparison), and most of our recent graduates employed in the manufacturing industries have been working as engineers of various kinds. This modification will not only open more career options for our students, but also help them to gain better job recognition and benefits commensurate with their academic preparation. This is very important for students to establish themselves in their professional career. The School of Technology (SOT) as well as the IMT department have set their mission to embrace the advancement of technology and strike for educational excellence through continuous improvement of its curricula and programs to reflect changes of technology and satisfy students and industry needs. This modification will help the department (also the college and the university) in following aspects: (1) position itself with strategic advantage in the long run; (2) significantly increase enrollment by attracting broader interests of potential students; (3) revitalize the curriculum and program for a better recognized, more diversified and sustained academic development; and (4) expand and enhance partnership with industries and other social sectors.

PROGRAM ELIMINATIONS SCHOOL OF HEALTH AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE: Recreation and Sport Management Commercial Recreation Management/Travel and Tourism Minor Rationale: The Commercial Recreation Management/Travel and Tourism Minor has been removed because all of the associated courses have been banked. The major, while viable, did not have sufficient faculty to support it. During Strategic planning efforts we determined that the faculty were spread too thick and it was important to be consistent with our core purposes. To continue to attempt to provide this minor meant that we would only provide a marginally preparing experience.

PROGRAM REVISION

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES: History M.A., M.S. and M.A. in History with Specialization in the History of Labor and Reform

Academic Notes 19 May 3, 2004

Movements Summary After two years of discussion and self-study, the history faculty have proposed a minor revision of our core graduate curriculum for the MA, MS, and MA with Specialization in the History of Labor and Reform Movements. This revision is proposed for three basic reasons: one, to strengthen the programs and make them more rigorous; two, to respond to student outcomes assessment and suggestions from recent graduates; and three, to clarify and focus the programs in preparation for our external review, which is scheduled for academic year 2004-2005. In brief, the changes involve adding one hour to the degrees, modifying our seminar structure, and creating an optional one-hour seminar in course preparation (proposed HIST 610). These changes will require no additional staffing and will not alter the frequency with which our seminars are offered. This latter feature is important, since we were determined not to draw faculty resources away from our primary mission of undergraduate teaching. Our primary goals were to revise the graduate curriculum to address some suggestions from recent graduates and concerns raised by the faculty, without changing significantly the historic focus and strength of the program or stretching faculty resources, to offer a greater variety of seminars that involve more faculty members in the graduate program, and to strengthen the program and make it more attractive (and prestigious) to students by adding a teaching methods course, requiring students to take more seminars, and including comprehensive written exams for those students choosing not to write a thesis. We were able to construct a revised program that met these goals with only minor changes to our existing seminars. The basic proposal and revised curriculum is as follows: I. Students choosing the MA without a thesis or the MS options take a written comprehensive exam. The exam is organized and administered by the student’s committee chair and covers the specific courses and seminars he/she has taken; it is read by the student’s committee members, who also conduct the oral examination of the research seminar paper. II. All degrees require a minimum of 33 hours to complete. III. A new one-hour course (optional) that addresses teaching issues (including, but not limited to: creating syllabi, writing and delivering lectures, grading), is offered every other spring. The course would consist of one 50-minute meeting per week. The instructor could receive a course reduction after teaching it three times and would receive consideration in the pay-for- performance evaluation. IV. The required seminars would be structured as follows: 1. Proseminar sequence (620, 660, 670). Students required to take two of the three (normally it would be 620 and one of the others). The seminar would rotate among faculty interested in teaching it and would not be offered by any person in one of the three major areas

Academic Notes 20 May 3, 2004

(US, Europe, Wider World) in consecutive years. The seminar would focus on the “great books” and most important themes in each field. Offered every fall. 2. Research seminar (621/661/671). One is required of all students, offered every spring. Students register for one of the three and are not limited as to the topic of their research paper. [no change]

3. Method and Theory (650). Required of all students, offered every other fall. [no change] 4. Topics in American History (623). Required of all students, offered occasionally (normally once every three or four semesters). Theme would depend on the instructor, creating a proseminar similar to 620, but more focused and in-depth. Students not in the Labor and Reform Movements specialization could substitute History 622. Summary: All students are required to take a minimum of 5 seminars. All required seminars still offered at night (normally Monday and Tuesday; possibly late afternoon). In this format there would be no increased staffing demand other than the 1-hour teaching methods course. Potentially, History 623 might need to be offered every spring or every third semester, which would amount to an increase of one seminar every four or five semesters. [Currently Prof. Schneirov teaches 622 every other fall and 623 every other spring; in the revised curriculum he would teach 622 every other fall and an Americanist would teach 623 every other spring, or so, depending on enrollment and student demand.] Rationale

In addition to the goals stated above, the department undertook this revision primarily in response to student outcomes assessment. Overwhelmingly, graduates expressed their overall satisfaction with the program and the department, but offered two basic suggestions. First, they wanted more faculty involved in the program. By requiring more seminars, particularly one in a field outside the United States, we will ensure that students experience a wider range of faculty and perspectives. Also, by spreading the American history seminars out among those faculty we will get additional participation. Second, students wanted more guidance in the areas of getting a job and in preparing to teach, particularly survey courses in American or World history. By creating the one-hour seminar in course preparation we hope to fill that need. Students will learn the basics of creating a syllabus, writing and delivering lectures, organizing a discussion, and grading. This issue has become more and more relevant as we hire some of our own graduates to teach as adjuncts here at I. S. U. and in the prison program (four of our graduates are in these positions this year). Finally, these revisions will help us reach a number of our goals outlined in our strategic five-year plan. Most importantly, it will broaden the curriculum and make it more comparative. In particular, the proseminar sequence will require all majors to take a “great books” reading seminar in world or European history. Before, our American history majors could finish the program without taking any courses outside the United States. GRADUATE PROPOSALS – Program Revisions – M.A.,M.S. and M.A. in History with Specialization

Academic Notes 21 May 3, 2004

in the History of Labor and Reform Movements: continued In conclusion, we feel that these minor changes will make the program more rigorous and

more attractive to potential students. In particular, the one-hour seminar in course preparation is something at the cutting edge of graduate curricula across the country. Only a few institutions in the country help prepare students in this regard and it would help distinguish our programs from others in the area. Finally, and to reiterate, we feel we have been able to make these important changes without taking faculty time away from undergraduate teaching. The changed curriculum should also mean higher enrollments in our seminars, thus making better use of our regular faculty. PROPOSED CATALOG COPY OLD NEW DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
