Page E4 ACUE Curricular Program Prospectus Form Submitted Below is what you submitted to jxc45@psu.edu,lrice@psu.edu on Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 16:43:59 Associate Dean Submitting This Prospectus: Renata Engel Email Address: rse1@psu.edu College and Campus: Engineering, University Park Department with Responsibility for the Program: Architectural Engineering P-1 Major: P-1 Major P-1 Name of major, option or minor: Architectural Engineering P-1 Brief description of program: The Architectural Engineering program currently offers an Integrated Undergraduate Graduate Degree program consisting of the BAE/MAE degrees. The program has been very attractive to students; however, there is a need to link the BAE to the MS in Architectural Engineering program with an IUG program. Thus this proposal is to offer an IUG for the BAE - MS degrees. Briefly provide the rationale for adding or dropping this program: An integrated BAE/MS degree program would benefit both the students and their employers by adding an integrated research experience to the student's degree program. The department would benefit from the pool of highly qualified MS students whose funding requirements match the length of many of the research projects. Describe briefly how this action supports-or requires an exception to-the University's commitment to curricular integrity and to disciplinary unity: This proposal does not require an exception to the University's commitment to curricular integrity. Please describe the faculty and physical resources available to support this action. Are new resources required: No additional resources are available. How will the addition or removal of this program affect other programs or other PSU campuses and colleges: The graduate program aspects will be reviewed by the Graduate School and the appropriate graduate committee in the College of Engineering. This proposal does not affect any other campus or college academic program as it is the only program in architectural engineering offered at the university.
