ACUE Curricular Program Prospectus Form Submitted<br />
Below is what you submitted to jxc45@psu.edu,lrice@psu.edu on Thursday, February 24, 2011<br />

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