CHANGES TO EXISTING PROGRAM PROPOSAL

Please use this form to propose any curricular revision(s) of an existing degree program, major,

minor, or existing concentration that changes the catalog copy. Also use this form for proposing a

new concentration. If you are proposing a new degree program, degree type (e.g., BA to BS),

major, or minor, please use the New Program Proposal or Proposal for New Minor as applicable.

Note: All changes will become effective the following fall semester, if approved by Academic

Affairs’ December meeting.

Before you proceed, please review the approval process in advance and leave time for each involved person or committee to review the proposal. Please attach new and revised course forms and syllabi for each

new or revised course.

DATE: Nov 5, 2018 DEPARTMENT/SCHOOL: ECPE / SOECS CONTACT PERSON: Ken Hughes PHONE/EMAIL: x63073 / khughes@pacific.edu

For all changes to the program, major, minor, or concentration, list current configuration on left (below) and

proposed changes on right, so the proposed changes are clear to the committee.

Current: Proposed (list only revisions here):

Exemption from ECPE 005 for students who

enter into either major with 28 or more units

1. What is the rationale for the above change?

ECPE 005 is designed for first-year student to familiarize them with the electrical and computer engineering

disciplines. Students past their first year typically will start taking ECPE courses immediately, so they do not benefit

as much from it. This follows the same rationale as the exemption from ENGR 010.

2. Does this revision change the current term schedule?

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, please describe the changes:

3. Are there any changes to policy?

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, provide the existing and proposed policy changes:

4. Are there any changes to the total amount of credit units required for the degree?

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, provide existing and proposed unit changes, including overall program total before and after

the proposed change:

5. Will the program require review or approval of the proposed changes by an accrediting agency?

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, please indicate the agency and required process for review/approval:

6. Are additional faculty or additional capital equipment, space modification, library resources, technology, or

operational funds needed?

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, please describe, including the plan to obtain these resources and indicate dean approval:

7. Are other instructional departments/schools in the university affected by this proposal?

Please ensure that signatures of department chairs and respective deans appear on the Program Approval Sheet.

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, please indicate the department(s)/school(s):

8. Does this revision impact current students completing program?

☒ No ☒ Yes If yes, how? Include outline plan for current students:

9. Does this revision impact enrollment numbers?

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, please describe.

10. Does this revision expand the program’s % of distance modality (instruction delivered online)?

☒ No ☐ Yes If yes, provide existing and proposed ratios of total program in-seat instructional hours vs online

delivery and contact the Office for Strategy and Educational Effectiveness to discuss whether

WASC/WSCUC approval is needed (Accreditation Liaison Officer signature also required):

11. With the program changes, does the program meet Pacific’s credit unit policy? ☐ No ☒ Yes Please review the policy to be sure the program aligns with it.

12. Please attach any of the following that have been impacted by this program revision:

☐ Program goals

☐ Admission criteria

☐ Program degree requirements

☐ Research requirements or comprehensive examinations

☐ Prerequisites

☐ Required sequence of course offerings by semester, applicable

☒ Typical program of study (multi-year list of courses to complete the program)

13. For ALL programs, please attach the following:

☒ Statement of program learning outcomes and levels of achievement expected for all students

by the time they graduate. For undergraduate programs, include any applicable undergraduate core

competencies addressed in the course (critical thinking, written communication, oral communication,

information literacy, quantitative reasoning)

☒ Curriculum Alignment Map (including which courses teach to each PLO and, for undergraduate programs, to

any of the five core competencies)

☒ Program Assessment Plan

☒ Corresponding changes to your program’s catalog copy

Student (Program Learning) Outcomes

Each engineering and computer science program accredited by ABET must assess, at a minimum, student outcomes identified as Criterion 3 (a)-(k). Each ABET accredited program in the School of Engineering and Computer Science assess all eleven outcomes. Some programs have additional outcomes. The eleven student outcomes are:

(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering. (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic

constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability.

(d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams. (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. (g) an ability to communicate effectively. (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global,

economic, environmental and societal context. (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning. (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues. (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering

practice.

The program’s target for acceptable achievement is a score of 70% or higher (for assessments using graded work) or 2 or higher (for assessments using a 0-to-3 scale rubric) on each outcome. The overall goal for the program is 80% or more of the students meeting this target.
