August 30, 2005 TO: Robert Mrtek, Chair Senate Committee on Educational Policy FROM: Roger Nelson Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs I am submitting for review and action by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy the attached proposal from the College of Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering to revise the B.S. in Engineering Physics program. The proposal was approved by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in November, 2004, and by the College of Engineering Educational Policy Committee on April 19, 2005. RN: Attachment Cc: C. Hulse R. Betts L. Kaufman P Banerjee S. Laxpati M. Dutta R. Priemer A. Wroblewski Title: Revision of Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics Sponsor: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering College of Engineering Overview and Justification of Proposed Changes in the Major: Delete ECE 221, Electromagnetics Laboratory (1 sh) from the Engineering Physics curriculum. ECE 220, Electromagnetics (3) and the lab course for it, ECE 221, have been dropped and replaced by Phys 142. ECE 221 is being dropped because it is the laboratory part that accompanies ECE 220, which was previously dropped from the Engineering Physics program. In the current and proposed Engineering Physics curriculum, Engineering Physics students are required to take PHYS 142, General Physics II (Electricity and Magnetism), which already has a laboratory. Recently, the Physics Department made substantial modifications to the PHYS 142 laboratory, and it now serves the needs of students in the Engineering Physics major very well. Therefore, there is no longer a need for Engineering Physics students to take ECE 221. Catalog Statement: Attached. Minority Impact: None. Budgetary and Staff Implications: There are no budgetary or staff implications for the proposed revision. Library Resource Implications: There are no library resource implications associated with the proposed revision. Space Implications: There are no space implications involved with the revision. Unit (e.g., department) approval date: November 2004 College approval date: Engineering EPC, April 19, 2005 Proposed Effective Date: Spring, 2006 We are seeking a Spring 2006 effective date because we are no longer offering ECE 220/221, and we would like students to have the opportunity to follow the revised curriculum as soon as possible. This would apply especially to Fall 2005 freshmen who can normally take PHYS 142 in their second semester of the freshman year. Curriculum in Engineering Curriculum in Engineering Physics - Old Physics - NEW B.S. in Engineering Physics B.S. in Engineering Physics B.S. in Engineering Physics is offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (College of Engineering) in association with the Department of Physics (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). The engineering physics major bridges the gap between science and technology by combining a strong background in physics and mathematics with exposure to the most fundamental areas of engineering. The program is based on the recognition that most engineering disciplines are rooted in the field of physics, and that new and emerging technologies rarely fall neatly within a single engineering discipline but often straddle different fields. The program highlights, for instance, the subtle and deep relations between materials science and civil engineering, between solid-state physics and chemical engineering, and between electromagnetics and telecommunication engineering. This training is especially well suited to students who wish to pursue careers in research and development in advanced technology and applied science. In particular, students majoring in this program are well qualified to pursue graduate studies in most areas of engineering and applied physics. The content of this program strongly emphasizes topics in physics and mathematics; however, this curriculum also gives students great flexibility in the choice of topics for technical electives. Students can customize their curriculum by choosing four technical elective courses from many fields. Engineering training is completed by a senior design project, which can be taken in any department within the engineering college. Students interested in the Engineering Physics major should contact Professor George Uslenghi in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at [email protected]. Same. Same. Same. Same.
