Notes
Administrative Concurrence request sent to History, Jan 2008. Although Sub B approved the courses on 1/25/08, they reconsidered the approval in light of History's objections (rec's 2/5/08) in their next meeting on 2/15/08. At that meeting they reconfirmed their approval of the course. September 22, 2008
Administrative transmittal history for proposal attached below. Sent to Joe Lynch.1 (History) upon request. kmh April 16, 2008
Administrative Sub B approved the revised proposal but recommended to change "the perspective on history and knowledge" to "a perspective" in the cover letter and the proposal. January 25, 2008

Engineering 360 – sent back

  1. Answer GEC writing course guideline #4 and #5 ( OM p.36)-- writing component not substantial as a writing course. (4. How do the written assignments fit the objectives of the Historical Study category? 5. How will students sharpen communication skills through the preparation of essay exams and papers and through participation in discussion in this course?)
  2. Changes needed:

                                                               i.      Need grading scale—what is an A?

                                                             ii.      Remove course assessment plan from both syllabi and further develop the plan.

                                                            iii.      Fix typo: 360.01 on p.4 (2nd bullet point under “How to Succeed”), and 360.02 on p.4 (1st line under “Patent research paper”), p.5 (2nd bullet point under “How to Succeed”).

                                                           iv.      Explain the assignments

    1. Suggestions and other concerns:

                                                               i.      Infringes on Breadth? Would it be interested for non-engineering students?

                                                             ii.      Is Prof’s CV part of the syllabi?

                                                            iii.      Is extensive disability statement an ABET requirement?

                                                           iv.      Requiring three textbooks (360.02) could be unaffordable for students.

                                                             v.      The enrollment capacity seems small to be a GEC course.
