Baylor ECS Board of Advocates: Under Graduate Programs Breakout
September 19, 2014Slide2
ContextB.S.E.; 1989- Celebrating 25 years!What was Baylor’s first ABET-accredited engineering degree…and how long ago?
The BSE had two concentrations (options)...
Electrical & Computer
MechanicalThe BSECE and BSME and BSE were accredited in 2001And “departmentalized” in 2005And the legacy B.S.E. persisted…
And the answer is…..
2Slide3
B.S.E. 2001-2012(Re-Engineered)
Two Options/
Concentrations
Biomedical…with BME course
offerings
Flexible…with seven possible engineering “stems”
Enrollments were small…some of the most celebrated ECS graduates pursued BSE path.
Biomechanics
Biomedical Signals
Computer Systems
Electronics
Fluids & Thermal EnergyMechanical DesignSignal Processing
3Slide4
2012What was the significance of 2012 in B.S.E. history?Baylor Vision 2012New ECS DeanABET VisitPro Futuris ratified
The BSE adjusts path
Director retires
Dean asks questionsAdvocate Board gives vision
4Slide5
What Is That Path? of the BSE Program/DegreeEliminate “stems” that are subset of departments (duplications)
Strengthen a common “General” engineering component
Develop
stems/options/concentrations that:
5
Provide “flavor” alternatives
to ECE & ME
Is a good fit
&
compliment for Baylor & ECS
Student and/or employer demand
Partners with campus resources
Is “strong”
link
Incubation potential
Satisfies ABET criteria (last but not least)
BSE Advisory Committee:
Prof. Brian Thomas, ECE
Dr. Byron Newberry, ME
Prof. John Miller; Dr. Mike ThompsonSlide6
The B.S.E. Design CriteriaMust meet ABET criteriaProgram Educational Objectives (PEO’s)48 Engineering credits
Expected Student Outcomes (a-k)
Assessable…using BSE/ECS-wide requirements
Existing assessment instrumentsThough not for FE results….Can-Do PortfolioGood-fit ConcentrationsPlus alternatives for…“Out-of-the-box”
Especially talented
6Slide7
What are those B.S.E. Program Educational Objectives?BSE Program Educational ObjectivesWithin a few years of graduation, Baylor B.S.E. graduates will:Establish themselves as a competent, successful, and responsible member within their chosen career profession, as evidenced by such indicators as promotions, raises, recognition, and increased responsibilities,
Or engage in post-baccalaureate study as demonstrated by earning or making progress toward an advanced degree.
7Slide8
And the B.S.E. ExpectedStudent Outcomes?an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility an ability to communicate effectively the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context
a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning a knowledge of contemporary issues an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
8Slide9
What Is The Result?(the new path)Gone are the “sub” concentrationsComputer Systems, Mechanical Design…
Those are really subsets of ECE and ME
Elevated are “distinct” concentrations
Biomedical (existing w/ BME courses)GeoPetro (w/ Geology)Environmental (w/ Environmental Science)Humanitarian Engineering (w/ SW, Social Ent….)
Engineering Fellows….or any BU minorEngineering Education, Pre-Health, Technical Ent…
9Slide10
What Is The Structure?(Truly a work of art!) (A solid model with flexibility)
General Education
Identical to ECE & ME
Engineering Courses (48 credits)Previously…2 frosh courses + Jr. Design & Sr. Design
Proposed: Those four courses plus…Required of ECE & ME: Circuits, ThermodynamicsRequired of ECE or ME: Circuits lab, Digital Logic & lab, Statics, Dynamics, Systems Modeling & Control, Instrumentation & Measurements (thru soph ECE & ME year & beyond)In addition to four upper-level engineering “electives”
(General Engineering….or Renaissance Engineering?)Concentration Electives: 6 courses/18 credits
