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
