Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document  31:                  Change in Industrial and Engineering Management Requirements

 

 

Effective Date:  Fall 2006

 

1.  Delete:  On pg. 161, under General Requirements for Industrial and Engineering Management:

 

I.  Required courses in the major-30 hours: MGMT 220, 350, 380, 381, 384, 386, 394, 460,

     487, 492.

    II.   Required courses outside the major-47 hours: ACCT 215; CHEM 111, 132, 144;

          ECON 102, 306; MAE 206, 314; MATH 191, 192, 291; PHYS 221, 222; STAT 225

                  III.   Management Cognate electives - 6 hours as follows: one course chosen from each of

                        the following two groups - Group I:  (Statistics) STAT 321, 325, 326 or 327; Group II:

                        (General) any 300-400-level course as approved by the faculty advisor.

 

Add:       On pg. 161, in place of deleted entry:

 

                    I.  Required courses in the major-30 hours: MGMT 220, 350, 380, 381, 384, 386, 460, 464,

                        487, 492.          

II.   Required courses outside the major-50 hours: ACCT 215; CHEM 111, 132, 144; ECON 102, 306; MAE 206, 314; MSE 201; MATH 191, 192, 291; PHYS 221, 222; STAT 225.

                   III.   Management Cognate elective - 3 hours chosen from STAT 321, 325, 326 or 327.

 

           

Impact:  Requiring MSE 201, Structure and Properties of Engineering Materials will increase the enrollment in the course by approximately three students each semester the course is offered.  Industrial and Engineering Management majors will need to successfully complete CHEM 132 earlier in their academic program of study in order to take MSE 201. This addition will not increase the number of hours for the major, since the Group II cognate elective is being removed.

 

Rationale:   MAE 314 Solid Mechanics is essential to the Industrial and Engineering Management Program.  Since MSE 201 is now a prerequisite for MAE 314, the change had to be made to include it as a required course.  The number change for Project Management, MGMT 394 to 464, necessitates the editorial change to Item I.
