from the reference librarians, various support staff, and the interlibrary loan services unit.Engineering materials are ordered by the acquisitions staff, cataloged by cataloging staff,checked in (journals) and circulated by other support staff. These staff members aresupervised by librarians who coordinate their efforts.F. Overall Comments on FacilitiesTo ensure that our students have a safe environment to work in, all students are requiredto follow appropriate safety protocols whenever they are in a lab performing labexperiments or using lab equipment for a class or for research. Safety proceduresappropriate to each exercise are discussed at the beginning of the lab period. Studentswho are unfamiliar with the operation of any piece of lab equipment or the use of anychemicals are carefully supervised by experienced lab instructors and/or graduateassistants. First aid kits, safety eye wash fountains are located in close proximity to thelabs in case of emergency. In addition, hazardous materials are inventoried periodicallyand they are always placed in safe storage. The vigilance of our faculty and lab staff hasrewarded us with an outstanding safety record with no student injuries in over a decade.50
CRITERION 8. INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORTA. LeadershipThe leadership of the LUEE program consists of a department chair with no set term (servesat the discretion of the dean) and an undergraduate advisor. The balance of the facultyperform graduate advising. Given the small size of the program, this structure is fullyadequate to insure program quality and continuity. The department chair is responsible forthe program and from an academic standpoint directs every aspect of the undergraduateactivities. In the graduate program, the chair defers to individual faculty and the studentgraduate committees.The undergraduate advisor, who is a senior faculty member, assists students in the upperdivision and verifies that course sequencing is maintained. This is an administrative activityand the faculty member is assisted by the department senior administrative associate. Again,because of the small size of the program, students in the upper division are highlyconstrained in what courses may be taken in any given semester, so the advising process issimplified.The department chair reports to the dean, who reports to the provost, who reports to thepresident. As such, there is a short path from the department leadership to that of theuniversity so that decisions that affect the program may be dealt with quickly and effectively.B. Program Budget and Financial SupportThe budget for the Department of Electrical Engineering is determined from state allocationsas established by the legislature; however, there are other sources of funding that thedepartment has available to it and these are discussed below:Higher Education Assistance Funds (HEAF): An annual appropriation used foracquiring, constructing, or improving tangible assets. HEAF funds are allocateddirectly to departments from the Provost's office based on perceived and anticipatedneeds. The funds are relatively unrestricted and are typically used to improveequipment used in the program. HEAF has averaged roughly $22,000/year and hasbeen spent to improve faculty office equipment and laboratories. HEAF is an annualallocation and must be spent before the end of the fiscal year. The department hasalso received special HEAF allocations beyond the yearly fixed amounts. The amountreceived has been roughly $72K which was used for lab upgrades, purchase of HFsignal processing equipment and research tools.Gifts/donations: All donations are processed by the University Advancement Officeand are distributed to the department either in scholarship accounts, which must beused exclusively for that purpose, or as funds deposited into an unrestricted account.The latter is an account that is undesignated and may be used for purchases notnormally allowed for using state accounts.
