ADD COURSE, REQUEST VARIABLE TITLE

AE 496 Emerging Topics in Aerospace Engineering (3) Problems and studies on new topics in Aerospace Engineering. Registration Restriction: Senior standing. Rationale: The department has two courses that are used for faculty-supervised, independent research or for potential new electives (BME 494 and 495). We voted to create a new, variable-title course that will be used solely for lecture-style courses being considered for addition to the catalog after showing strong enrollment. As an example, BME 495-Selected Topics in Biomedical Engineering was taught as Systems Neuroscience and Neurotechnology; it had enrollments of 6 (Fa19), 8 (Fa20), and currently 16 (Fa21). This course has been converted to BME 483 in the present catalog update; new departmental courses will follow the same process. Impact on other units: will add an elective that may satisfy Technical Elective requirements. Financial Impact: none.


Note: This would be a mid-impact change because it is not seeking Volunteer Core or experience learning approval and will not be required by any academic programs. (BME) Biomedical Engineering

IE 566 Optimization for Big Data (3) NE 340 Materials Science and Engineering Mechanics for Nuclear Materials (3) NE 342 Thermal Science (3) Rationale: The goal of the Engineering for Sustainability minor is to focus student effort on understanding broad sustainability challenges facing society and focusing engineering solutions on solving those challenges. Current curricula across the Tickle College of Engineering does not identify cross-cutting social, policy, or economic aspects of sustainability challenges, nor does it provide a broad perspective on engineering tools and frameworks that can be applied to solve those challenges. While individual students may concentrate their elective courses or other courses throughout their undergraduate degree to address sustainability, there is no unifying framework or credential to assure that graduates are educated and prepared to enter the workforce with a comprehensive sustainability literacy or an understanding on how the engineering courses they have taken can be applied systematically to sustainability challenges. This minor will provide a framework for engineering students to focus their educational efforts within the Tickle College of Engineering while broadening their understanding of sustainability beyond typical engineering approaches. This credential will make our student more marketable in the workforce. Impact on other units: None. We have contacted programs that will provide support courses outside of TCE and they are willing to accept TCE students. Financial impact: Will require additional resources for development for two faculty to team-teach (two years) and sustained teaching (adjunct/instructor/tenure track once a year) of the EF 305 class.

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

REVISE REQUIREMENTS – Biomedical Engineering Minor The Tickle College of Engineering offers a minor in biomedical engineering to those undergraduate students whose academic history provides the prerequisites for the courses required by the minor. The minor requires the completion of a minimum of 32 18 credits. Some of the courses used in the minor may also satisfy requirements for the student’s major. Students may enroll in the minor program by completing a form at the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical Engineering, 414 Dougherty Engineering Building. A copy of the completed enrollment form and information on the minor requirements will be forwarded to the student’s home department advisor. Complete: BIOL 160 or BIOL 168 (3) BME 205 (3) Select two courses: 300-level or above in BME or cross-listed in BME (6 hours total) Select two courses: 400-level or above in BME or cross-listed in BME (6 hours total) Formerly: AE 341 - Fluid Mechanics I BCMB 230 - Human Physiology BME 315 - Signals and Systems Analysis BME 345 - Biomedical Engineering Instrumentation and Measurement BME 363 - System Dynamics BME 449 - Biomedical Engineering Laboratory * BME 473 - Applied Biomechanics ECE 301 - Circuits and Electro Mechanical Components ME 321 - Mechanics of Materials MSE 201 - Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering

* Meets University General Education Requirement. Rationale: The BME minor was not updated to mirror the revised BME major. This new minor will be effectively unchanged for ME and AE majors (the most common to minor in BME), but it will now be much more accessible to non-MABE majors. Impact on other units: BME minor will be more accessible to other units (especially in engineering). Financial impacts: none.
