Importance: High

Hello Katie: Below is an email from the CIV ENG Program coordinator regarding the change to CIVENG 3450 and the addition to CIVEN 3541 to the CE Curriculum. It should accompany the Program Change that was submitted at the beginning of the semester. Thanks, Rosie

From: Leist, Mary A. Sent: Friday, April 7, 2017 11:51 AM To: Quinzon‐Bonello, Rosario <quinzon‐[email protected]> Subject: Addendum to CEGE Curriculum Proposal Importance: High Hi, Rosie! I just wanted to confirm that the request to change the content of CIVILEN 3540 (including the addition of the CIVILEN 3541 lab component of the course), would not change the current curriculum change proposal that we have submitted. Currently, CIVILEN 3540 is a 3 credit hour course and serves as an elective option for students. Under the current proposal, CIVILEN 3540 would now be required of all Civil Engineering students. The request to add the lab component does not change this; it simply move the course from a 3 hour lecture only course to a 2 hour lecture + 1 hour lab, both of which would be required under the new proposal. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Proposal for Modifications to the Program of Study for the

BS in Civil Engineering (BSCE) Executive Summary The faculty of the Depart of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering are proposing revisions to the Civil Engineering program of study. There are three main proposed changes.

1. Revise the Civil Engineering Capstone courses. We are proposing that the course numbers for CIVILEN 4000.01 and CIVILEN 4000.02 be changed to CIVILEN 4001 and CIVILEN 4002, respectively. Additionally, we are proposing a change to the prerequisites and a course description modification. These changes will make a clear differentiation between the two courses, the sequence in which they should be taken, and their content. Additionally, the changes are expected to enhance the preparation of students for the Capstone Design courses.

2. Create and add CIVILEN 2405 to the required curriculum for Civil Engineering students. The addition of this requirement is expected to prepare students with a basic understanding of computer graphics software, ultimately allowing faculty to integrate more advanced design and analysis in courses. In addition, it will give our students a competitive advantage when applying for entry-level internships and will provide continuity with current industry expectations.

3. Remove current core elective options and replace with seven (7) required core courses. This proposed change will ensure a basic level of skill in all areas of Civil Engineering, ultimately better preparing our student for their Capstone Design courses.

These three changes increase the required Civil Engineering core by three (3) credit hours, but the total hours to degree will remain at 131 hours. We propose to balance the increase in the core by decreasing the number of technical electives required for the degree.

The proposed changes to the program is driven by our regular assessment processes applied to evaluation of the Civil Engineering undergraduate courses and curricula after the first three semesters.

We propose that the new program be required for students starting at The Ohio State University in Autumn semester 2017.

Proposal for Modifications to the Program of Study for the BS in Civil Engineering (BSCE)

Rationale for the Proposed Changes The faculty, students, and participating industry professionals agreed that student performance and the corresponding deliverables in CIVILEN 4000.01 – Civil Engineering Capstone 1 and CIVILEN 4000.02 – Civil Engineering Capstone 2 could be improved. Therefore, in the Autumn 2014 semester the Chair of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering (CEGE) authorized a comprehensive review of the civil engineering capstone sequence. The changes proposed herein are the direct result of this review. The primary objective of the proposed changes is to ensure students have the prerequisite technical knowledge and skills required to successfully complete the capstone sequence. The rationale for each change will be discussed herein. Additional benefits of the changes include, but are not limited to, simplified advising, improved ability to project required course enrollment, improved competitive advantage with other programs, improved student experience, and greater professional preparedness.

Process for the Development and Approval of Proposed Changes The process for the development and approval of the changes proposed herein began with a faculty review. The two primary instructors for the course (Mr. Greg Comfort, Former President of EMH&T, Member CEGE Advisory Board and Dr. Michael Hagenberger, Associate Professor of Practice, CEGE) began their review in the Autumn 2014 semester. At the end of the Autumn 2014 semester changes were made within the existing structure of the capstone sequence but the faculty recognized the need for more substantial change. Therefore, during the Spring 2015 semester the instructors solicited input from student focus groups and industry representatives familiar with the program. Based on the faculty review and feedback from the students and industry groups a preliminary proposal was presented to the faculty at the end of the Spring 2015 semester. Faculty meetings continued throughout the summer and an via a n email vote the proposal described herein were approved.

Proposed Curricular Changes

1. Replace CIVILEN 4000.01 with CIVILEN 4001

Rationale CEGE is proposing that CIVILEN 4000.01 – Civil Engineering Capstone 1 be replaced with CIVILEN 4001 – Civil Engineering Capstone 1. This proposed change is essentially a change in course number, change in pre-requisites, and a modification to the course description. Change in Course Number The change in course number is to make it clear that the course is a sequence of courses that must be taken in the appropriate order. In addition, the change in course number will make it clear that there are differences in the content and learning objectives of the two courses. Change in Prerequisites The prerequisite for the current Capstone 1 course is senior standing. This has proven to be a challenge for the CEGE advisors since students may have senior standing but have insufficient civil engineering technical skill to successfully complete the capstone class. While the CEGE advisors manually tried to identify students that did not have the skills, unqualified students have enrolled in the course which has led to a poor experience for them and their team members. CEGE has identified a group of courses listed

Page 1


in Table 1 that ensures the students have the minimum technical content and skill to be successful to address this issue.

Modification of Description In order to more clearly identify the academic objectives of the course, differentiate it from the second course in the sequence, incorporate the new course prerequisites, and clearly identify the course structure, changes to the course description are being proposed.

Current Course Description CIVILEN 4000.01 – Civil Engineering Capstone 1 Description: Part 1 of the two semester course sequence for the culminating design component in the curriculum for students in Civil Engineering. Must be taken in semester preceding 4000.02, with sequence completed as close to graduation as possible. Prereq: Sr standing. Not open to students with credit for CIVILEN 660.01. Units: 2 credit hours. Proposed Course Description CIVILEN 4001 – Civil Engineering Capstone 1 Description: Part 1 of a two semester course sequence for the culminating design component in the curriculum for students in Civil Engineering. The course emphasizes project planning, preliminary design, and the development of engineering proposals. Must be taken in semester preceding 4002. The course includes one lecture and one lab period per week.

Prereq: Sr standing, CIVILEN 2405, CIVILEN 2410, CIVILEN 2810, CIVILEN 3540, CIVILEN 3700, CIVILEN 3160, CIVILEN 4320 OR CIVILEN 4350, and ENVEN 3200. Coreq: CIVILEN 2090 and CIVILEN 3080. Not open to students with credit for CIVILEN 660.01 or CIVILEN 4000.01. Units: 2 credit hours.

2. Replace CIVILEN 4000.02 with CIVILEN 4002

Rationale CEGE is proposing that CIVILEN 4000.02 – Civil Engineering Capstone 2 be replaced with CIVILEN 4002 – Civil Engineering Capstone 2. This proposed change is essentially a change in course number, update in pre-requisites, and a modification to the course description. Change in Course Number The change in course number is to make it clear that the course is a sequence of courses that must be taken in the appropriate order. In addition, the change in course number will make it clear that there are differences in the content and learning objectives of the two courses. Change in Prerequisites The prerequisites for the current Capstone 2 course is being updated to match the course number change to the first course in the capstone sequence. Modification of Description In order to more clearly identify the academic objectives of the course, differentiate it from the second course in the sequence, incorporate the new course prerequisites, and clearly identify the course structure, changes to the course description are being proposed.

Current Course Description CIVILEN 4000.02 – Civil Engineering Capstone 2 Description: Part 2 of the two semester course sequence for the culminating design component in the curriculum for students in Civil Engineering. Must be taken in semester immediately following CIVILEN 4000.01, with sequence completed as close to graduation as possible. Prereq: CIVILEN 4000.01 (660.01), and Sr standing. Not open to students with credit for CIVILEN 660.02. Units: 2 credit hours. Proposed Course Description CIVILEN 4002 – Civil Engineering Capstone 2 Description: Part 2 of the two semester course sequence for the culminating design component in the curriculum for students in Civil Engineering. Must be taken in semester immediately following 4001. The course includes two lab periods per week. Prereq: CIVILEN 4001 (660.01). Not open to students with credit for CIVILEN 4000.02 (660.02). Units: 2 credit hours.

3. Add CIVILEN 2405 - Computer Graphics for Civil Engineers

Rationale The integration of design software by industry in the field of civil engineering requires that graduates of the program have increased exposure to civil engineering software within the civil engineering curriculum. Graphics program such as AutoCAD (Autodesk, Inc.) and Microstation (Bentley Systems) are

Page 3


the gateway programs to many of the design packages currently being used by industry professionals. Therefore, requiring a basic understanding of computer graphics software will permit faculty to integrate more advanced software packages in design and analysis courses. In addition, this course will provide our students with a competitive advantage when applying for entry level internships after the first and second year of the program. The course will be taught online and supported with open laboratory sessions monitored by undergraduate and/or graduate teaching assistants. In addition, the Department is considering transfer credit and credit by examination options for this course. The online course is scheduled to be developed during the summer of 2016. This change effectively addresses Advisory Council, student, and employer concerns regarding a lack of CAD skills for our graduates (also reflected in our Senior Exit Surveys). The only students that currently have any CAD experience or skill are those students that have internships or those who are fortunate enough to enroll in the AutoCAD (ENGR 4410.01) course that is only offered during the autumn semester with limited seating, approximately 75 students. To address the capacity issue it is proposed that the course be offered online, taught by either adjuncts or graduate teaching assistants.

Proposed Course Description CIVILEN 2405 – Computer Graphics for Civil Engineers Description: An introductory course in graphics with emphasis on the application on computer generated graphics to the solution of civil engineering problems. AutoCAD and Civil 3D or similar software to be used. Prereq: Enrollment in the Pre-Civil Engineering program or permission of the instructor. Units: 1 credit hours.

4. Add CIVILEN 4996 – Internship in Civil Engineering I (1 Cr) and CIVILEN 4997 – Internship in Civil Engineering II (2 Cr)

Rationale Faculty observations in the capstone courses indicated that students with internship experience significantly outperformed students without internship experience. By providing credit for the experience and allowing it to potentially replace a technical elective, the department is sending the message to students that internships are a valuable educational experience. While many students obtain internships, the Department hopes that the percentage of students completing internships.

Proposed Course Descriptions CIVILEN 4996 – Internship in Civil Engineering I Description: An engineering work experience with an approved employer for minimum of 10 hours per week for approximately 15 weeks. Typically taken during the autumn or spring academic terms. To earn credit students must demonstrate satisfactory work performance, complete monthly reporting requirements and submit a final report. Grading will be on an S/U basis. Prereq: Enrollment in the Civil Engineering major and approval of the Civil Engineering Internship Advisor. Units: 1 credit hours. CIVILEN 4997 – Internship in Civil Engineering II Description: An engineering work experience with an approved employer for minimum of 30 hours per week for approximately 15 weeks. Typically taken during the summer academic term. To earn credit students must demonstrate satisfactory work performance, complete monthly reporting requirements and submit a final report. Grading will be on an S/U basis.

Prereq: Enrollment in the Civil Engineering major and approval of the Civil Engineering Internship Advisor. Units: 2 credit hours.

5. Modification to Degree Requirements

As previously stated, the overall objective of the curriculum revisions is to improve student performance in the civil engineering capstone sequence. Table 3 summarizes the resulting credit change as a result of the curriculum change. The net change in required credits is zero. Table 4 provides a side-by-side comparison of the current curriculum with the proposed curriculum. Changes are highlighted in the proposed curriculum table (Table 4) in bold italics scarlet text.

Replace CIVILEN 4000.01 with CIVILEN 4001 and CIVILEN 4000.02 with CIVILEN 4002 These two changes result in no net change to the degree requirements.

Adding CIVILEN 2405 – Computer Graphics for Civil Engineers Adding CIVILEN 2405 is a new required one credit class. However, this increase in credits is offset by savings with other curriculum changes. See Table 3.

Remove elective core and add seven (7) required classes to CE curriculum Currently, civil engineering students are required to take six (6) core electives. Students choose their core electives from a list of eight (8) courses. Students may choose to count either CE4320 (Structural Steel Design) or CE4350 (Reinforced Concrete Design) toward their core elective requirements. This effectively requires students to choose six courses out of seven options. A summary of the current core electives is provided in Table 2. It is being proposed that all current core electives become required CE courses, still permitting a choice between CIVILEN 4320 and CIVILEN 4350. In addition, the proposed required courses shown in Table 2 shall be pre-requisites for Civil Engineering Capstone 1. The rationale for requiring all core classes is to simplify the advising and registration process for students and advisors. In addition, the hope is that requiring all classes will likely result in students taking courses on a more regular schedule making course enrollments more predictable. The rationale of making all courses in Table 2 pre-requisites for the Civil Engineering Capstone Course (CIVILEN 4001) is to provide a gateway to enrollment in capstone and ensure a basic level of skill in all areas of civil engineering. The gateway for enrollment is critical because we currently have no effective pre-requisite for capstone which results in students enrolling in capstone that should not be. The only way to remedy this situation is to have the advisors review the enrollment and manually remove students that should not be in capstone. This causes unnecessary conflict between the students and advisors and is an inefficient use of our advisors’ time.

Replace Physics 1251 (5 cr.) with an Additional Science Elective (4 cr.) It is being proposed that the current requirement that all students take Physics 1251 (E&M, Optics, Modern Physics) be replaced with a second science elective. This results in a net change of minus one credit. This savings is offset by other changes in the curriculum. See Table 3. The decision to replace Physics 1251 with an additional science elective was one of the most debated changes. Ultimately it was determined that the benefits outweigh the costs. The benefits of this program include:

• The ability of students to take a sequence of science electives. This provides the flexibility for students that are interested in the “wet” areas of civil engineering (water resources, environmental) to take two courses in biology or chemistry and for students interested in the “dry” areas of civil engineering (structures, geotechnical, transportation, construction) to take two courses in geology. This will provide additional depth in areas important to a student’s future career path while maintaining the current level of science education.

• The reduction of the number of credits from five to four required science credits. This allows the department to maintain the current total number of credits for graduation.

• Please refer to appendices E, F, and G for additional information

Reduce number of required technical electives from six to five The reduction in the number of technical electives required for graduation is being reduced from six to five. This is a change in the number of technical elective credits from 18 credits to 15 credits. This change was required to make room for the addition of the seventh required course from the core electives.

Transition Plan It is proposed that the new curriculum be required for all Civil Engineering students who start at The Ohio State University Autumn 2017 or later. It is also proposed that the new curriculum be required for any student who started prior to Autumn 2017, but who has not graduated by end of Autumn 2020 (four years for students starting in Spring 2017).

CAPSTONE DESIGN TRANSITION The course change proposal for CIVILEN 4000.01 and CIVILEN 4000.02 (requested to be changed to CIVILEN 4001 and CIVILEN 4002, respectively) will continue to count as the required Capstone courses. The proposed changes to the prerequisites for each of these courses may affect students who have started prior to Autumn 2017, but will not complete their degree until after Autumn 2017 and before Autumn 2020. For those students, exceptions will be made to ensure that no student is delayed in their time to degree due to the curriculum changes. The proposed changes to the prerequisites for each of these courses will not affect students who enter The Ohio State University during Autumn 2017 or later.

ADDING CIVILEN 2405 The course proposal to create CIVILEN 2405 is in the process of being submitted. Currently, the CEGE department allows students to used ENGR 4410.01 as a 2-hr technical elective course. The proposal states that we plan to require the new CIVILEN 2405 course as a part of our required core curriculum. This will be effective for students entering The Ohio State University Autumn 2017 or later, and for students starting prior to Autumn 2017, but not completing their degree until Autumn 2020 or later. The proposed addition of this course may affect students who have started prior to Autumn 2017, but will not complete their degree until after Autumn 2017 and before Autumn 2020. For those students, we propose that they be allowed to count CIVILEN 2405 or ENGR 4410.01 as a technical elective, rather than being required to take the course as a part of their core curriculum.

CHANGING CORE ELECTIVES TO REQUIRED COURSES It is being proposed that the all current core electives become required CIVILEN courses, still permitting the choice between CIVILEN 4320 and CIVILEN 4350, and that these required courses (shown in Table 2) function as pre-requisites for Civil Engineering Capstone. For students entering The Ohio State University Autumn 2017 or later there are no transition issues. For students entering The Ohio State University earlier than Autumn 2017, but not completing their degree until Autumn 2020 or later, there are no transition issues. For students entering The Ohio State University earlier than Autumn 2017, but completing their degree prior to Autumn 2020, exceptions will be made to ensure that no student is delayed in their time to degree due to the curriculum changes.

Impact on Department The impact on the department as a result of the proposed CE curriculum changes is expected to be minor. The following sections summarizes the impact and the Department’s plan to address any impact.

Impact of adding CIVILEN 2405 – Computer Graphics for Civil Engineers It is anticipated that approximately 180 students per year will enroll in CIVILEN 2405 – Computer Graphics for Civil Engineers. As previously stated, the course will be taught online and supported with open laboratory sessions monitored by undergraduate and/or graduate teaching assistants. The online course

Page 12


is scheduled to be developed during the summer of 2016. Currently one full-time faculty member and two adjunct faculty members teach three sections of a similar CAD course, ENGR 4410.01 – Computer Graphics Using AutoCAD during the autumn semester. By offering this course online it is anticipated that the net department teaching load will be decreased; however, additional support in the form of graduate and/or undergraduate teaching assistants will be required.

Impact of removing elective core and adding seven (7) required classes to CE curriculum As previously discussed, civil engineering students are currently required to take six (6) core electives. Students choose their core electives from a list of eight (8) courses. Students may choose to count either CE4320 (Structural Steel Design) or CE4350 (Reinforced Concrete Design) toward their core elective requirements. This effectively requires students to choose six courses out of seven options. It is being proposed that the core electives become seven required courses. When the department first established the core electives it was anticipated that students would only select to take six of the seven courses, with the intention of evening out enrollment among the courses. However, as shown in Figure 1, 94% to 98% of students that graduated in 2014 or 2015 took five of the seven courses. The only course not this high are ENVENG 3200 and CIVILEN 4320/4350. The reason the percentage of students enrolling in ENVENG 3200 is not higher is because the enrollment has been limited in that class. The hiring of additional faculty in the environmental area has already allowed the Department to increase the availability of this course. When evaluation CIVILEN 4320 and CIVILEN 4350 it is important to realize this is a choice and that many students are actually taking both courses. Based on this analysis, the Department anticipates no addition to teaching load due to this change.

Impact of replace Physics II (5 cr.) with an additional Science Elective (4 cr.) This change has no impact on the Department. The physics department has been notified and their response is included in the Appendix D.

Impact of reduce the number of required technical electives from six to five The reduction of the number of required technical electives should result in a decrease in enrollment in current technical electives. Therefore, the department anticipates no change in teaching load and should see a reduction in section size for technical electives.

The impact of the addition of CIVILEN 4996 – Internship in Civil Engineering I (1 Cr) and CIVILEN 4997 – Internship in Civil Engineering II (2 Cr) This change will require additional service within the department in the form of an internship coordinator. A faculty member will serve and receive service credit to act as the internship coordinator. In addition, the CEGE advising office will assist with the workload associated with the program. The work associated with this program will include review and approval of internship applications, review of internship reports, and assignment of grades. In the event that the workload associated with program exceeds what is currently anticipated, it is expected that the program could be administered by an adjunct faculty member or graduate students.

4. Internship Reports Due Dates and Submission Guidelines

There will be interim and a final internship report required for all internship for credit experiences. The interim internship reports shall be a concise description of the engineering aspects of the tasks you have been assigned during the previous month of your internship experience. These reports shall be a minimum of two and a maximum of four double spaced pages. Professional writing and organization of topics is essential to successfully convey an understanding of one month's work effort in such a brief document. Write as if your intended audience is not familiar with the task(s), equipment, or processes you are describing. Therefore it is incumbent upon you to convey your subject clearly and concisely. The final internship report shall be a summary of the engineering projects, tasks, and responsibilities you were exposed to during your internship. In addition, you will be asked to provide some reflection on your experience. Details for the content of both the interim and final internship reports follow. There is no maximum page limit for the final internship report.

Mary,

Our Undergraduate Studies Committee discussed this but did not feel comfortable supporting dropping Physics 1251 as a requirement. We do not understand how the material, particularly electromagnetism, has ceased to be essential.

You can use this email as an acknowledgement that we have been informed that you intend to eliminate Physics 1251 as a requirement for your majors.

Mary,

Do you have any documentation to support the decision to remove Physics 1251 as a requirement? I checked

several other Civil Engineering programs (e.g., Purdue and Michigan), which require two semesters of Physics. The question is why Electricity and Magnetism is no longer necessary. What are the pros and cons from your department's viewpoint? We would really like to see your reasoning before we support or oppose such a change.

Thanks, Robert Perry Professor and Vice Chair for Undergraduate Studies Physics Department

From: Ross, Mary Sent: Friday, September 11, 2015 10:32 AM To: Perry, Robert Subject: Changes to CEGE Curriculum

Dear Dr. Perry,

My name is Mary Ross and I am the Coordinator of Academic Advising in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Earlier this year, it may have been brought to your attention that my department was examining a number of curriculum changes, including consideration to eliminate Physics 1251 from our curriculum. After several faculty meetings, it was decided that the material contained in Physics 1251 is important for engineering students to have access to in their curriculum. Rather than eliminating the course, the new proposal allows students to use Physics 1251 as a science elective course. Currently, students must choose one course from a list of 4 courses in order to complete their required science elective. With our new proposal, Physics 1251 would be added to this list, allowing students to use this course as a science elective if they choose.

As a part of our proposal submission to the College of Engineering we must obtain a letter of acknowledgement from the departments affected by our change. If the Physics department is in in support of the change, a letter of support is also acceptable. If you are not in support of the change, or need additional information, a letter of acknowledgement (even via email) is acceptable.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns, or if you need additional information. Thank you.

Mary, This seems like a reasonable to address an industry need. Would 2405 serve as an alternative to 4410? Would you anticipate that fewer Civil students would need 4410? We increased the number of sections of 4410 last AU at Frank’s request, but can reduce that as needed; or the 4410 course could even be owned by Civil. It does not necessarily have to reside with EED as a new department.

From: Ross, Mary Sent: Friday, January 29, 2016 3:56 PM To: Merrill, John <[email protected]> Subject: Changes to the CEGE Curriculum Importance: High

Dr. Merrill,

I am writing in regards to the upcoming curriculum proposals in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering. I had previously sent this information to Dr. Christy, but with the hustle and bustle of the department, it may have been lost in the shuffle.

CEGE currently allows Civil Engineering students to count ENGR 4410.01 (AutoCAD) to count towards 2 hrs of technical elective credit. The course is offered once per year and is often in high demand and difficult for students to enroll in given limited seating and the fact that the course is available to a variety of other Engineering disciplines. As a result, CEGE is proposing the creation of an internally housed AutoCAD course (CIVILEN 2405). The intention of my email is to notify EEIC that this will be in our proposal, as it will affect enrollment in ENGR 4410.01. EEIC can support, decline support, or simply acknowledge this for the purpose of proposal submission to the College. We will include your response in our proposal. Below is what we will be submitting to the College (in regards to the proposed CIVILEN 2405):







Rationale The integration of design software by industry in the field of civil engineering requires that graduates of the program have increased exposure to civil engineering software within the civil engineering curriculum. Graphics program such as AutoCAD (Autodesk, Inc.) and Microstation (Bentley Systems) are the gateway programs to many of the design packages currently being used by industry professionals. Therefore, requiring a basic understanding of computer graphics software will permit faculty to integrate more advanced software packages in design and analysis courses. In addition, this course will provide our students with a competitive advantage when applying for entry level internships after the first and second year of the program. The course will be taught online and supported with open laboratory sessions monitored by undergraduate and/or graduate teaching assistants. In addition, the Department is considering transfer credit and credit by examination options for this course. The online course is scheduled to be developed during the summer of 2016. This change effectively addresses Advisory Council, student, and employer concerns regarding a lack of CAD skills for our graduates (also reflected in our Senior Exit Surveys). The only students that currently have any CAD experience or skill are those students that have internships or those who are fortunate enough to enroll in the AutoCAD (ENGR 4410.01) course that is only offered during the autumn semester with limited seating, approximately 75 students. To address the capacity issue it is proposed that the course be online, taught by either adjuncts or graduate teaching assistants.

Proposed Course Description CIVILEN 2405 – Computer Graphics for Civil Engineers Description: An introductory course in graphics with emphasis on the application on computer generated graphics to the solution of civil engineering problems. AutoCAD and Civil 3D or similar software to be used.

Prereq: Enrollment in the Pre-Civil Engineering program or permission of the instructor. Units: 1 credit hours.

Please feel free to share this with Dr. Cox. I was not sure if I should send this information to her or not, given the fact that she is still adjusting to her new position. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am also happy to meet with you to discuss anything.

Thank you for your consideration.

Appendix E – CCAA Questions


From: CCAA subcommittee B Chair To: CCAA Re: BSCE curriculum change proposal Date: 5/15/16

This memo summarizes our subcommittee discussion on the proposal. Proposed changes to the BSCE degree are: 1. Change the two Civil Engineering Capstone course numbers, add existing CIVILENG courses as prerequisites and modify course descriptions accordingly. 2. Add a new course CIVILEN 2405- Computer Graphics for Civil Engineers to the required curriculum. 3. Add two internship courses CIVILEN 4996 (1 cr) and CIVILEN 4997 (1 cr) to the required curriculum 4. Convert the current list of 7 core elective (out of 8 possible) courses to 7 required (out of 8 possible) core courses. 5. Replace required course Physics 1251 - E&M, Optics, Modern Physics (5 cr) with a second science elective (4 cr) requirement. 6. Add Additional Science Electives courses: Biology 1114, Chemistry 1220, Physics 1251. 7. Reduce technical elective credit requirement from 6 courses (18 cr) to 5 courses (15 cr).

Impacts on the department teaching loads and a plan to address them and a transition plan to accommodate current students are detailed in the proposal. EEIC (teaches ENGR 4410.01, the AutoCad computer graphics course currently used by Civil Engineering) has been notified of the replacement of its course by the newly added CIVILENG 2405. In an email discussion, EEIC stated that the proposal “seems ... reasonable to address an industry need” although it raised more points of discussion that were not answered. Physics acknowledged receiving notification of the deletion of Physics 1251 from the BSCE curriculum and did not support the change.

Changes 1 and 3– 4 appear to be well-justified by the proposal. The subcommittee believes they should be considered for approval by CCAA.

Change 2 appears to be incomplete since the discussion with EEIC contains unanswered questions and contains proposals that may obviate the need for CIVILENG 2405. This discussion should be finalized and documented in the curriculum change proposal before approval by CCAA.

Change 5 is said to be controversial in the Civil Engineering program and is not well justified by this proposal. It is not recommended that CCAA consider this change for approval until further information is provided. More discussion of change 5 is included below.

Change 6 is connected with change 5 although it could be considered independently with modifications. Approval by CCAA is recommended if Civil Engineering wishes that be independently considered.

Change 7 is included in the current proposal so that the total credits required by the BSCE degree remains at 131 credits. The size of the technical elective credit adjustment will depend on the other changes and


it is recommended that this change be modified approved as appropriate and approved with any portion of this proposal.

There are several issues related to change 5 of this proposal that should be addressed before it consideration for approval by CCAA. These are listed below.

1. Deleting PHYSICS 1251 removes study of some key fundamental physical concepts from the required Civil Engineering preparatory curriculum. Examples include electricity (charge, current, voltage, circuits) and propagating waves (acoustic and electromagnetic waves). These and other key concepts are not studied in the two course biology or chemistry elective sequences mentioned as possible replacements. A discussion of why these and other basic concepts that are deleted from the required curriculum are no longer needed or plans to revise the curriculum to replace this material with additions to other courses should be included. In connection with this comment, it is also noted that it appears that OSU would be alone among major research universities in not requiring a full year of physics for civil engineers.

2. The motivations for the proposed deletion of the Physics 1251 requirement and benefits offered by it are not clear in the proposal. Specifically, the elective 2 sequence (Biology 113, 114) that is suggested as a benefit enabled by the change does not appear to be relevant for students in “wet” areas of Civil Engineering. Neither course is currently required by the BS Environment Engineering degree or is listed as an approved elective for that degree. Also, the reduction of required science credits from 4 to 5 is listed as another benefit of this change. It is not clear, by itself, why a reduction in science credits is a benefit. Both the motivations and the benefits should be clarified before the proposal is considered by CCAA.

Both the motivations and the benefits should be clarified before the proposal is considered by CCAA.”

CEGE Response to CCAA Comment on Change 5 CCAA subcommittee suggests that removing PHYS 1251 removes “key fundamental physics concepts” (Examples include electricity and propagating waves) from the Civil Engineering program. CEGE recognizes that some students will elect not to take PHYS 1251 as their science elective and will


subsequently not receive the content identified by the subcommittee. The following are items previously considered by CEGE but were not included in the original proposal.

• The primary purpose for eliminating PHYS 1251 as a required course from the civil engineering curriculum was to free up one credit to add the new required CAD course, CIVILEN 2405, without increasing the total number of credits required to graduate. Currently the OSU physics sequence (PHYS 1250 and 1251) is ten (10) credits, or 7.6% of the total civil engineering curriculum and 56% of the civil engineering program science requirement. OSU is in the minority in the Big Ten when reviewing the number of physics credits required within civil programs. Please refer to the Big Ten Science Requirements Table provided in Appendix G. As shown, most programs have a seven or eight credit physics requirement. This lead the Department to only require a four credit science elective rather than the five credit physics course. In addition, the science electives are suggested to be taken later in the curriculum (see CEGE proposed flowchart) which will allow the advisors to make better recommendations and subsequently the students to make better decisions regarding their science courses for their future careers.

• Currently PHYS 1251 is not a pre-requisite for any course within the civil engineering curriculum indicating that the content is not the critical aspect of the science course. Rather, it was decided by the Department that any science course could provide the same pedagogical result independent of the science content.

• The previous statement is supported by the fact that the traditional “physics II” content (E&M) has been removed from the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam, is not an explicit requirement in the ASCE Body of Knowledge (BOK) for civil engineering and is not an ABET requirement. Although the BOK describes the two principle areas of physics, it also describes seven areas of chemistry. Rather than have explicit requirements for science courses, the BOK focuses on outcomes rather than content. In other words, we would not be expected to have all seven areas of chemistry.

Sample FE Exam content descriptions and key excerpts from the ASCE Body of Knowledge, ABET Criteria, and the ASCE Commentary of ABET Program Criteria are included in Appendix G. The links to the ASCE BOK, ABET criteria and the ASCE Commentary on ABET Program Criteria follow.

CCAA Comment on Change 6 (Additional Science Electives) and 7 (Reduction of Tech Elective Credit Requirements) “Change 6 is connected with change 5 although it could be considered independently with modifications. Approval by CCAA is recommended if Civil Engineering wishes that be independently considered.

Change 7 is included in the current proposal so that the total credits required by the BSCE degree remains at 131 credits. The size of the technical elective credit adjustment will depend on the other changes and it is recommended that this change be modified approved as appropriate and approved with any portion of this proposal.”

CEGE Response to CCAA Comment on Change 6 and 7 CEGE believes that the additional science elective requirements can move forward regardless of the decision on Change 5.

The reduction in the technical elective requirements is not connected to Change 5. The reduction of the technical elective credits from 18 to 15 is to permit the increase in the number of required courses. Currently CE students are required to take six of seven core classes. This “core elective” requirement is being eliminated and rather all seven courses will be required. Therefore, to avoid increasing the number of credits to graduate a reduction in the technical elective requirement is required.

If Change 5 is ultimately not accepted by the College, a decision will have to be made by CEGE relative to the required one credit CAD course.

Importance: High

John,

We have received some feedback from CCAA regarding the CE curriculum changes. To remind you, we are proposing an online CAD course (CIVILEN 2405) for all civil students in lieu of ENGR 4410. The primary purpose of the change in course is to create an online course rather than tradition bricks and mortar which is how ENGR 4410 is taught. Your email response to the changes is attached.

While you did not take exception to the addition of the course and provided some suggestions for ENGR 4410, the committee would like some of the questions in the email answered before approval.

Here are our thoughts on how we could answer the questions.

1. Would CIVILEN 2405 serve as an alternative to ENGR 4410? Response: CIVILEN 2405 is intended to replace ENGR 4410.01 for civil students once the curriculum changes are approved. ENGR 4410 should continue to be taught to serve other students that use the course, such as FABE, and for students under the “old” civil curriculum in CEGE that want the course for Technical Elective credit.

2. Would you anticipate that fewer civil students would need 4410? Response: As students graduate from the old curriculum, the number of CE students taking ENGR 4410 will decrease. This will likely occur over a three to four year period as the old curriculum sunsets. Since it is just a technical elective option, we can coordinate number of sections appropriate for the class during this period. CEGE will work with EED to support the course during this transition phase.

3. Would ENGR 4410 be owned by CEGE? Response: ENGR 4410 should not be owned by CEGE. It serves other departments (such as FABE) and should continue to be taught to serve these students. Once all students under the current curriculum graduate, we would anticipate very few CE students taking the class.

If you agree with the responses above please let us know.

Thank you,

From: Merrill, John To: Leist, Mary A. Cc: Hagenberger, Michael J.; Abrams, Lisa; Stavridis, Olga; Freuler, Rick Subject: RE: Civil Engineering Curriculum Updates Date: Monday, June 27, 2016 3:42:10 PM Attachments: RE_ Changes to the CEGE Curriculum EED.PDF


Mary, I am copying Lisa Abrams to weigh in on these longer term implications, plus Olga Stavridis since she has been heavily involved in our graphics curriculum. I am also copying Rick Freuler as the chair of our Undergrad Curriculum Committee for 2016-17. (I’ll be retiring 8/31.) Our intent has been for EED to shift teaching responsibility for 4410.01 and 4410.02, through mutual discussions, to the departments that serve these populations most directly (such as FABE). EED will most likely cease to offer them after 2016-17.

FOUNDATIONAL OUTCOMES

Outcome 2: Natural Sciences

Overview

Underlying the professional role of the civil engineer as the master integrator and technical leader is a firm foundation in the natural sciences. Physics and chemistry are two disciplines of the natural sciences that have historically served as basic foundations. Additional disciplines of natural science are also assuming stronger roles within civil engineering.

Physics is concerned with understanding the structure of the natural world and explaining natural phenomena in a fundamental way in terms of elementary principles and laws. The fundamentals of physics are mechanics and field theory. Mechanics is concerned with the equilibrium and motion of particles or bodies under the action of given forces. The physics of fields encompasses the origin, nature, and properties of gravitational, electromagnetic, nuclear, and other force fields. Taken together, mechanics and field theory constitute the most fundamental approach to an understanding of natural phenomena that science offers. Physics is characterized by accurate instrumentation, precision of measurement, and the expression of its results in mathematical terms. Many areas of civil engineering rely on physics for understanding the underlying governing principles and for obtaining solutions to problems. A technical core of knowledge and breadth of coverage in physics, and

the ability to apply it to solve engineering problems, are essential for civil engineers.

Chemistry is the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (elements and compounds), the reactions and transformations they undergo, and the energy released or absorbed during those processes. Chemistry is concerned with atoms as building blocks, everything in the material world, and all living things. Branches of chemistry include inorganic, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry; biochemistry; electrochemistry; and geochemistry. Some areas of civil engineering—especially environmental engineering and construction materials— rely on chemistry for explaining phenomena and obtaining solutions to problems. A technical core of knowledge and breadth of coverage in chemistry is necessary for individuals to solve related problems in civil and environmental engineering.

Additional breadth in such natural science disciplines as biology, ecology, geology/ geomorphology, et cetera is required to prepare the civil engineer of the future. Increased exposure to or emphasis on biological systems, ecology, sustainability, and nanotechnology is expected to occur in the 21st century. Civil engineers should have the basic scientific literacy that will enable them to be conversant with technical issues pertaining to environmental systems,

CIVIL ENGINEERING BODY OF KNOWLEDGE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY 115

public health and safety, durability of construction materials, and other such subjects. A technical core of knowledge and breadth of coverage in an area of science other than mathematics, physics, and chemistry is required to prepare future civil engineers.

B: Solve problems in calculus-based physics, chemistry, and one additional

area of natural science and apply this knowledge to the solution of engineering problems. (L3) The physics, chemistry, and breadth in natural sciences required for civil engineering practice must be learned at the undergraduate level and should prepare students for subsequent courses in engineering and engineering practice.

2016-2017 Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs Criterion 4. Continuous Improvement

The program must regularly use appropriate, documented processes for assessing and evaluating the extent to which the student outcomes are being attained. The results of these evaluations must be systematically utilized as input for the continuous improvement of the program. Other available information may also be used to assist in the continuous improvement of the program.

Criterion 5. Curriculum

The curriculum requirements specify subject areas appropriate to engineering but do not prescribe specific courses. The faculty must ensure that the program curriculum devotes adequate attention and time to each component, consistent with the outcomes and objectives of the program and institution. The professional component must include:

(a) one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some

with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline. Basic sciences are defined as biological, chemical, and physical sciences.

(b) one and one-half years of engineering topics, consisting of engineering sciences

and engineering design appropriate to the student's field of study. The engineering sciences have their roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward creative application. These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs.

(c) a general education component that complements the technical content of the

curriculum and is consistent with the program and institution objectives. Students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.

One year is the lesser of 32 semester hours (or equivalent) or one-fourth of the total credits required for graduation.

Criterion 6. Faculty

The program must demonstrate that the faculty members are of sufficient number and they have the competencies to cover all of the curricular areas of the program. There must be sufficient faculty to accommodate adequate levels of student-faculty interaction, student advising and counseling, university service activities, professional

Changes from the Previous Edition of the Civil Engineering Program Criteria

Understanding the Criterion

To comply with this provision of the Civil Engineering Program Criteria, the program must demonstrate its curriculum content is sufficient to prepare graduates to apply concepts and principles from mathematics and science to solve relatively straightforward problems. This must include mathematics through differential equations, calculus---based physics, chemistry, and one additional area of basic science. The program should present sufficient information and document that these subject areas are adequately covered within the curriculum and that all students must take the necessary courses in order to graduate. Additionally, while the EAC/ABET General Criterion 5(a) requires one year of a combination of mathematics and science, it does not have separate requirements for a minimum number of credit hours or courses in any of these subject areas.

For the additional area of basic science, programs may include areas such as biology, ecology, geology or meteorology, all areas of significant interest and increasing importance for civil engineers. This list is not all---inclusive, and it is not necessary all students within a particular program’s curriculum take the same additional area of science. However, for topics other than those listed above, it is the program’s responsibility to demonstrate the selected area(s) of science provides breadth beyond physics and chemistry. In general, an advanced course in physics or chemistry (i.e., a physics or chemistry course that is part of a physics or chemistry sequence for which a basic---level physics or chemistry course serves as a prerequisite) would not fulfill this requirement because such a course would provide additional depth rather than additional breadth. Still, programs should have a degree of flexibility in choosing basic science courses that meet this breath requirement. Courses such as geo---physics, seismology, organic or bio---chemistry that are not part of a standard physics or chemistry sequence might be appropriate, especially if they can be tied to student outcomes and program’s curricular emphasis. Likewise, a course primarily engineering science in

content would not fulfill this requirement. It has been long established that courses such as thermodynamics, computer science or materials science do not meet this requirement.

Background/Rationale

The EAC/ABET General Criterion 3(a) requires “an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.” Additionally, the EAC/ABET General Criterion 5(a) requires “one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline. Basic sciences are defined as biological, chemical, and physical sciences.” ABET defines one year as “the lesser of 32 semester hours (or equivalent) or one---fourth of the total credits required for graduation.” Refer to Appendix I or www.abet.org for addition information on the EAC/ABET General Criteria.

The Second Edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge includes two outcomes related to this provision of the Civil Engineering Program Criteria: Outcome 1 – Mathematics and Outcome 2 – Natural Sciences (see Appendix II). Mathematics through differential equations, calculus---based physics, and chemistry are considered part of the technical core of civil engineering and, thus, are explicitly required by the Civil Engineering Program Criteria.

The requirement for “one additional area of basic science” comes from the Second Edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge and reflects an increasing emphasis on biological systems, ecology, sustainability, and nanotechnology within the practice of civil engineering. The intent is for civil engineering graduates to develop greater breadth in the basic sciences beyond the technical core subjects of physics and chemistry. While the BOK2 defines the additional area of science as a “natural science,” ABET defines “basic science” as biological, chemical, and physical sciences. This definition of a basic science is consistent with the goals of the BOK2 and is, therefore, adopted for use in the Civil Engineering Program Criterion.

The phrase “consistent with the program objectives” was removed from the criteria because the words do not add anything meaningful to the criteria. Program objectives are very broad, describing graduates’ abilities three to five years after graduation. It would be difficult to envision an example of a basic science that would be inconsistent with program objectives.

According to Bloom’s Taxonomy (see Appendix I), the verb “apply,” which is used in the EAC/ABET General Criterion 3(a) and in this provision of the Civil Engineering Program Criteria, denotes the expected level of achievement is Bloom’s Level 3, or “application level.” Both the Civil Engineering BOK2 Outcome 1 – Mathematics and Outcome 2 – Natural Sciences are also at Bloom’s Level 3 of achievement. Therefore, this provision of the Civil Engineering Program Criteria agrees with the targeted level of achievement for math and science as conveyed in the Second Edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge.
