ADMINISTRATIVE BOARDS MEETING Wednesday, February 20, 2008

3:00pm-5:00pm Toy Lounge, Dey Hall

The meeting came to order at 3:02pm on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 in Toy Lounge, Dey Hall. Members in attendance: Christopher Derickson, Bruce Fried, Donna Gilleskie, Thomas Hill, Louise McReynolds, Bobbi Owen (Chair), Patrick O’Neil, Abigail Panter, Gary Pielak, James Rives, Jay Smith, Barbara Stenross, Adam Versenyi. Guests: Kim Bussey (Office of Undergraduate Curricula) 1. Curriculum Proposals The following Curriculum Proposals were approved by the Administrative Boards: (all proposals are attached to the end of this document)

• International & Area Studies: The Boards approved the change in requirements for the undergraduate major. Adam Versenyi, chair of the curriculum, agreed to amend the proposal by sending lists of eligible courses to the office of undergraduate curricula:

1. Enable the greatest possible competency in foreign language for our majors by the time of graduation.

Add the requirement that at least three levels of foreign language study required for the INTS major be completed either here at UNC, or on a UNC-approved study abroad program.

2. International studies majors must take a total of ten courses. All majors are required to take INTS 210 as

the gateway core course. Of the remaining nine elective courses, two are core courses representing a variety of disciplinary approaches to international and global issues. The two core courses must not come from the same academic department. The other seven courses comprise the student’s concentration in a theme and an area of the world. Of these seven courses, five must be above the survey level (courses numbered 200 and above). For the thematic requirement, students will select four courses that explore one of the four thematic concentrations: 1) international politics, nation-states, social movements; 2) global economics, trade, development; 3) global health and environment; and 4) transnational cultures, identities, arts. In addition, three courses are required that are substantially grounded in a world area, exemplifying the transnational issues explored in the chosen theme. The world areas are: Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, Western Europe and the European Union, and Russia and Eastern Europe. All courses counted toward the major must have a substantially contemporary focus.

3. Starting in Fall 2008, INTS 392H will only be eligible for credit outside of the core courses required

within the major.

• Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences: The Boards approved the change in requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science-Applied Science-Materials Track.

• Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences: The Boards approved the name change from CAMS to CASE (Curriculum in Applied Sciences and Engineering).

• Biomedical Engineering: The Boards approved the “permission to plan” document for a new degree program in BMME. The planning document will be sent to GA.

• Chemistry: The Boards approved curriculum changes involving minimum course grades. • Computer Science: The Boards approved the proposal for a new degree program, pending notification to the dept.

regarding the C grade rule & to clarify where the theory group fits in. • Distance Learning recommendation: The recommendation was approved with the Boards amendments. • Asian Studies: The Boards approved changes to the major. • Slavic Languages: The Boards approved changes to the minor. • American Studies: The Boards approved changes to the major tracks.

The meeting adjourned at 5:05pm

April 9, 2007 Jay Smith Associate Dean Office of Undergraduate Curricula 300 Steele Building, CB #3504 Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3504 Dear Jay, As you know, the Curriculum in International and Area Studies wants to make several changes to the requirements for our undergraduate major. I write to request that the following changes to our requirements, and the rationale for these changes, be presented to the Administrative Boards of the College at the earliest possible opportunity. 1) CIAS Language Requirement Currently, International Studies majors are required to earn credit for six levels of one foreign language or four levels of one foreign language and two levels of another. While maintaining the number of levels of foreign language required, we will add the requirement that at least three levels of foreign language study required for the INTS major be completed either here at UNC, or on a UNC-approved study abroad program. Rationale: Increasingly, INTS majors are entering UNC with so much AP foreign language credit that they engage in little to no foreign language study while at the University. This runs directly counter to our desire to enable the greatest possible competency in foreign language for our majors by the time of graduation. 2) Required Courses Proposed requirements: International studies majors must take a total of ten courses. All majors are required to take INTS 210 as the gateway core course. Of the remaining nine elective courses, two are core courses representing a variety of disciplinary approaches to international and global issues. The two core courses must not come from the same academic department. The other seven courses comprise the student’s concentration in a theme and an area of the world. Of these seven courses, five must be above the survey level (courses numbered 200 and above). For the thematic requirement, students will select four courses that explore one of the four thematic concentrations: 1) international politics, nation-states, social movements; 2) global economics, trade, development; 3) global health and environment; and 4) transnational cultures, identities, arts. In addition, three courses are required that are substantially grounded in a world area, exemplifying the transnational issues explored in the chosen theme. The world areas are: Africa, Asia, Latin

America, Middle East, Western Europe and the European Union, and Russia and Eastern Europe. All courses counted toward the major must have a substantially contemporary focus. Current requirements: International studies majors must take a total of ten courses. All majors are required to take INTS 210 as the gateway core course. Of the remaining nine elective courses, three are core courses representing a variety of disciplinary approaches to international and global issues. The three core courses must each come from different academic departments. The other six courses comprise the student’s concentration in either area studies or international studies. Of these six courses, four must be above the survey level (courses numbered 200 and above).

A. The student who concentrates in international studies will select four courses that explore one of the four thematic concentrations: 1) international politics, nation states, social movements; 2) global economics, trade, development; 3) global health and environment (available only to students declaring the major fall 2007 or later); and 4) transnational cultures, identities, arts. In addition, two courses are required that are substantially grounded in a world area (see B, below), exemplifying the transnational issues explored in the international theme. B. The student who concentrates in area studies will select four courses that focus on a single world area. The world areas are: Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, Western Europe and the European Union, and Russia and Eastern Europe. In addition, two courses are required in one of the four thematic concentrations (see A, above) in order to contextualize the student’s area-based knowledge. All courses counted toward the major must have a substantially contemporary focus.

Rationale: The trend within the discipline is shifting from an emphasis upon international studies (interactions between nation-states) to an emphasis upon global studies (issues of global significance that transcend national boundaries). Consequently, CIAS needs to move in that direction to remain current in the field. Therefore, we want to shift the emphasis of the major away from international and area studies and towards global and international studies. In addition, it has become apparent that students are increasingly choosing to concentrate in area studies for the major not because of an academic interest but rather because they discover that upon returning from a study abroad program, they frequently have enough transfer credit to complete the major with an area studies concentration. We propose to eliminate the area studies primary concentration and shift one course out of the core and into the area studies requirement in order to maintain a strong grounding of the thematic concentration in a region of the world. This change will enhance the academic orientation of the INTS major by making students more conscious of their thematic concentration during their academic careers and, consequently, raise the level of the intellectual climate of the students pursuing the major. Those students wishing to pursue area studies as their primary concentration have a variety of other undergraduate majors at their disposal.

3) Honors Seminar Currently, students who wish to submit a thesis for honors in International Studies must enroll in INTS 691H and INTS 692H during their senior year. INTS 692H may count toward one of the ten required courses for the major. INTS 691H counts as elective credit only. Starting in fall 2008, INTS 692H will only be eligible for credit outside of the core courses required within the major. If you or members of the Administrative Boards have any questions about these changes, please let me know. Best wishes, Adam Versényi Chair

January 15, 2008 Prof. Jay Smith Associate Dean

for Undergraduate Curricula Office of Undergraduate Education College of Arts & Sciences CB #3504, 305 Coates Building Dear Dean Smith: I would like to request a change in the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science – Applied Science – Materials Track, which is administered by the Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences (of which I am Interim Chair). I have consulted with my colleagues who hold faculty appointments in the Curriculum (all of whom, of course, have their primary appointments in a department), and they concur with the changes I propose. The proposed changes are described in the accompanying document. Some of the changes are intended to “clean up” the requirements stated in the 2007-08 Undergraduate Bulletin by removing non-existent courses and adding courses that are prerequisites for required courses. Other proposed changes are intended to align the program with the intellectual directions of modern materials science and with the strengths that UNC offers our students. I feel that our Applied Science students can compete with graduates of any university in the country if we give them the proper educational foundation, and with the proposed changes I believe this program will do just that. Sincerely,

Laurie E. McNeil, Interim Chair Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences

Preface

We propose a updating of the course requirements for the BS Applied Science - Materials Science track degree program. In the past decade the broad field of materials science has undergone significant changes including an increasing emphasis on “soft materials,” especially materials at the interface with biology. UNC-CH’s great strength in biological and biomedical sciences places us in a privileged position to educate our students in this exciting and rapidly-changing field. In addition to responding to current trends in the field, the proposed changes will also clarify options while insuring that student who pursue this degree are exposed to topics at the interface of the traditional disciplines (biology, chemistry, math, and physics). The proposed changes try to capture the growing biomedical aspects of materials science so readily apparent in the research underway in Carolina’s Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, in the spirit of applied science. Finally the proposed changes are designed to maximize the parallelism between the core curricula of the various interdisciplinary tracks within the Applied Science degree program, specifically between the Materials Science and Biomedical Engineering tracks.

3

1. BIOL 101, 101L – The biological interface of Materials Science is a crucial one and elementary knowledge of biology is required for a contemporary materials scientist.

2. CHEM 261 is a prerequisite for CHEM 262, which is required (see E) and also for the proposed requirement of CHEM 420 (see 10).

3. APPL150 is the essential introduction to materials science and no substitution should be allowed.

4. APPL 190 does not exist; this is apparently an error in the Bulletin.

5. PHYS 351 is a prerequisite to APPL 491L which a the required course for the major (see H); CHEM 241/241L is not a prerequisite for any course in the curriculum, but could still be taken as a free elective (see 18).

6. CHEM 481 covers very similar material to APPL 341, so this change expands the students’ scheduling options.

7. MTSC 715 is more properly an elective rather than a core requirement.

8. This requirement reinforces hands-on independent laboratory study and will satisfy the experimental education part of the Connections requirement.

9. Biomedical engineering is an increasingly important allied field to materials science and all materials scientists need to have some knowledge of it.

10. Polymers are a core class of materials of which all materials scientists need to have some knowledge

11.-12. Electronic materials and surfaces are core aspects of materials science and all students in the field need a solid introduction to them.

13. Materials laboratory II or polymer laboratory will provide additional hands-on experience for majors.

14.-15. These courses provide appropriate math background for materials scientists.

16. Modern materials scientists need exposure to computing techniques.

17. Specialty electives have decreased by 3 credit hours to keep this major accessible.

18. Five free electives decreased to one as we have specified a core of required courses (see 8 -15).

19. In order to provide comprehensive education for employment or advanced study in materials science that is comparable to that received by students at other institutions, an increase in the requirements for the major is needed.

20. In conjunction with the requirements that remain unchanged (A-H), the total number of credit hours for the BS Applied Sciences – Materials Science track under this proposal is 125.

January 15, 2008 Prof. Jay Smith Associate Dean

for Undergraduate Curricula Office of Undergraduate Education College of Arts & Sciences CB #3504, 305 Coates Building Dear Dean Smith: I would like to request permission to establish a new degree program: Bachelor of Science – Biomedical Engineering, to be administered by the Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences (of which I am Interim Chair). This degree program already exists in another guise, as a track within the B.S. – Applied Science degree. For reasons described in the attached document, my colleagues and I believe that it would be advantageous to our students and to UNC-CH to give this vigorous and growing program a separate identity. This will enable us to recruit students to it more effectively and give the service the program provides to North Carolina a higher profile. The proposed new degree program incorporates one minor change from the existing requirements for the B.S. Applied Science – Biomedical Engineering track, but is otherwise identical to the current program in which approximately 150 students are now enrolled. I feel that our Biomedical Engineering students can compete with graduates of any university in the country if we give them the proper educational foundation, and transforming the existing degree track into a separate degree program will allow us to recruit even more students to this exciting field. Sincerely,

Laurie E. McNeil, Interim Chair Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences

UNC‐Chapel Hill College of Arts and Sciences

Proposal for a New Bachelor of Science Degree in Biomedical Engineering

within the Curriculum of Applied and Materials Sciences

This phase in the process is internal to the College and precedes the General Administration procedure for establishing new degree programs as outlined in Administrative Memorandum 406.

I. Description and Justification for the Degree Program

The Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences (CAMS) is a UNC curriculum that has been in place since 1985. In 1999, the curriculum was reorganized into three major tracks that continue today: Materials Science, Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering (BME). The Biomedical Engineering Track within the Applied Sciences Bachelor of Science Degree has developed into a robust program that graduated nearly 20 students in the class of 2007 and is growing steadily. As a discipline, it has a strong identity nationwide, with a Biomedical Engineering B.S. degree being offered at many engineering colleges within a standing BME department. At UNC, the Biomedical Engineering Department is administratively within the School of Medicine, and supports a joint BME graduate degree with North Carolina State University. The CAMS undergraduate BME track has strong ties with the UNC BME Department, and the majority of instructors and most of the facilities of the BME undergraduate classes are drawn from the BME Dept. faculty and facilities. Given this strong identity, it is appropriate that the undergraduate BME track be elevated to its own degree program. This will also provide a higher visibility for the program for those outside the university, and make it easier for UNC to attract excellent undergraduate students who have an interest in biomedical engineering.

We stress within this document that the BME track in the Applied Sciences B.S. degree has been ongoing for seven years. It has been supported within CAMS with a full roster of courses including laboratories (described below) and has had an increasing enrollment over this period. The proposed change in the degree, from a “track” to a stand‐alone B.S. Degree program, entails no change in degree requirements, nor any additional courses, faculty, facilities or resources. No substantive change to the existing program is proposed.

A. Describe the proposed degree program including educational objectives.

There has been an enormous explosion of technology in medicine in the past four decades. While initially this was largely the application of existing technology to medical purposes, more recently medical applications have been a major driving force for the development of new technologies. Medical devices, bionics, signal and image processing, informatics and telemedicine, as well as biocompatible materials and substrates are just a few of the numerous applications of engineering in medicine which make up the field of biomedical engineering. Like computer engineering, this is a very young field that has experienced an explosion in its application and has contributed significantly to the ongoing technological revolution in our society. The undergraduate program in Biomedical Engineering prepares its students for positions in industry related to the applications of engineering in medicine, and also provides a solid foundation for graduate studies in biomedical and other engineering and other applied science disciplines.

The educational objectives for Biomedical Engineering Bachelor of Science program are:

http://www.northcarolina.edu/content.php/aa/reports/plan_intent/doc_index.htm


1. Define and solve problems in basic medical sciences and human health by integrating engineering and biology using engineering analysis, experimentation, mathematical and scientific principles.

2. Design biomedical systems, components, and processes by applying the scholarly and practical skills of engineering and life sciences using methods of modern engineering design and manufacturing, teamwork, and communication skills.

3. Use technical and hands‐on knowledge in engineering practice, research, and management while exercising ethical and professional responsibility in the public, private, and academic sectors.

4. Become leaders and mentors that consistently enhance their information literacy by participating in activities that introduce them to advances in biomedical engineering practice and research

B. Explain how the proposed degree program fits into the College of Arts and Sciences and the University.

To serve the people and economy of North Carolina, the mission of the Biomedical Engineering program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is to provide a unique educational opportunity for undergraduate students capable of meeting the challenges of spanning interdisciplinary boundaries between biology and engineering within the framework of a well‐rounded liberal arts education. Biomedical Engineering, defined broadly as the application of engineering principles to solve medical and biological problems, requires basic competencies in both physical and biological sciences. Using the resources of the College of Arts & Sciences and the School of Medicine, students in this program develop skills in problem solving, research, communications, and team work that prepare them for careers in industry, public service, or to enter medical or graduate school.

C. Discuss potential program duplication and program competitiveness. How is the proposed new program distinct from similar ones in the University? Are there similar programs offered elsewhere in North Carolina at public and/or private institutions?

The field of Biomedical Engineering is concerned with the application of engineering principles, approaches and technology to the development of technologies and materials to enhance human health and health care. As an engineering discipline, it is distinct from the natural sciences in that it demands a more comprehensive mathematical background than the biological and chemical sciences, and a more extensive electrical circuit and materials background than the physics and mathematical sciences. The other engineering degree offered at UNC‐Chapel Hill is in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering where the focus is not in health care. The BME program does, however, have significant overlap with biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics at the level of the foundational understanding that is required of the students within BME. This is an advantage as many of the core courses for BME degree are taught within those departments.

The CAMS undergraduate BME track has close ties to the Biomedical Engineering Department, which has been joint between UNC and NCSU since 2003. At the graduate level, the students within the joint department are enrolled either within the UNC Graduate School or within the NCSU Graduate School. At the undergraduate level, NCSU has an undergraduate BME B.S. degree within the College of Engineering. Across the state of North Carolina, the only other university to offer a BME degree at the B.S. level is Duke University. Given the expansion of the biomedical sciences and

2


the need for a well trained work force of North Carolina citizens, it is extremely important that we make every effort to expand the educational opportunities in this area.

D. What is the impact on existing undergraduate and/or graduate academic programs on campus? What is the potential student demand?

The proposed B.S. degree in BME would replace the existing track within the Applied Sciences B.S. degree. We expect that the enrollment in the program will increase as it gains a higher profile amongst high school students looking for a best fit for their educational and career goals. Steady growth is seen by the current enrollment data obtained from the Registrar’s office as of Fall 2007. Based on this data, it is projected the program will continue to grow by about 5 students/year.

Class of Enrollment Notes:

2007 18

2008 26 Approx 22 students will graduate in May 2008; the number in this table is higher than the actual number because some members of the class of 2009 are classified as seniors by the Registrar’s Office. Therefore the number given in this table for the class of 2009 is lower than the actual number

2009 28

2010 43 This may decrease as some sophomores may drop the BME major this year, as they start taking more of the major courses

2011 37 This will increase as more freshmen declare their majors

II. Program Requirements and Curriculum

A. Provide the total hours and number courses required including pre‐requisites.

The curriculum for the new B.S. degree in BME is identical to the current BME track in the Applied Sciences B.S. degree with the exception of one change. The BME undergraduate curriculum committee has decided to increase the BME elective requirement from 3 courses to 4. In order to keep the credit hours of the program at 102, they have reduced the credit hours assigned to several of the required BMME courses. This change has been recommended on the basis of a study of curricula at universities such as NCSU, Duke, Georgia Tech University and the University of Virginia. In addition, the program looks forward to accreditation by ABET, Inc., the recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering and technology. The curriculum has been designed to be consistent with the requirements for this accreditation.

General Education Requirements: An exemption has been approved for the undergraduate degree programs in the Health Sciences for increased flexibility in the fulfillment of the general education curriculum. We assume that this exemption would also apply to the Biomedical Engineering program proposed herein. This exemption, described fully below, is important because the BME degree, as is typical for engineering degrees across the country, has a requirement of 102 credit hours within the major. This is over 20 credit hours more than the typical B.S. major within

3


the College of Arts and Sciences. The general education requirements are intended to allow at least one free elective after the students have fulfilled their general education and major requirements. Indeed this is possible when the major requires, for example, 77 credit hours, as does the Biochemistry track within the Chemistry B.S. degree. However, when the degree requires 102 credit hours, the student can graduate with the proposed 127 total credit hours only if they take no more than 15 credit hours beyond the major to fulfill the Approaches category, and take no more than 10 credit hours to fulfill the Foundations category. The latter is possible only if the students arrive with the foreign language preparation that permits them to advance to the third semester of foreign language at UNC. We believe that some relief is necessary for these students.

The exemption requested asks for an increase in the flexibility for the fulfillment of the Connections requirement so that the students can be better assured of fulfilling the general education requirements with their Foundations and Approaches courses without additional credit hours. We note at the outset that this was the intention of the design of the general education curriculum, even for the full Connections requirements. However, we are concerned that this will be difficult for the students at this early stage in the development of the full array of Connections courses in the college. The students in the BME program would continue to be required to fulfill the current requirements in the Foundations and Approaches categories. The exemption comes in the form of a relaxation of the requirements for the Connections category. Here the students would be required to fulfill the Communications Intensive (CI), Quantitative Intensive (QI), Experiential Education (EE), U. S. Diversity (US) and Global Issues (GI) requirements. Beyond these, the students would need to fulfill only one of the three remaining connections: North Atlantic World (NA), World Before 1750 (WB) and Beyond the North Atlantic (BN).

As we move forward with the BME program, we intend to develop courses within the major that would also satisfy Connections requirements. These may include, for example, Technologies for Developing Countries, which would satisfy a Global Issues requirement.

The specific course requirements include a set of courses that will be common across the CAMS B.S. degree programs, and a set that is specific to the BME B.S. degree. The CAMS common core is 17 classes (38 credit hours):

• Introduction to Economics (ECON 101)

• Two courses in General Descriptive Chemistry (CHEM101/L and CHEM 102/L)

• Six Mathematics courses including the three semester calculus sequence (MATH 231, 232, 233), Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (MATH 383), Survey of Engineering Math Applications (APPL/BMME 460), and Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences (Math 528)

• Two course sequence in calculus‐based physics: Mechanics (PHYS 116) and Electricity and Magnetism (PHYS 117)

• Principles of Biology with Lab (BIOL 101/L)

• One programming course from (COMP 110, 116, 401 or PHYS 331)

• Introductory Electronics I (PHYS 351)

• Two sophomore level engineering classes: Statics (APPL 160) and Introduction to Materials Sciences (APPL 150)

• Thermodynamics and Kinetics Applied to Solids (APPL 341)

4


The BME major core will comprise 16 courses (64 credit hours), divided into the following categories:

• Four course design sequence: BME Design and Manufacturing I (APPL 210) and II (APPL 310) and Senior Design I (APPL/BMME 697) and II (APPL/BMME 698)

• Introductory Electronics II (PHYS 352)

• Two biology classes: Molecular Biology and Genetics (BIOL 202) and Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL 252)

• Three junior/senior level engineering classes: Systems and Signals (APPL/BMME 410), Linear Control Theory (APPL/BMME 450), and Biomedical Instrumentation (APPL/BMME 465)

• Two other classes: Introduction to Biomedical Engineering (BMME 400) and a statistics course from (STOR 355, 435 or BIOS 600)

• Four Specialty electives from any BMME >400, PHYS 301 and PHYS 660.

B. Provide information about required grades

At least 18 hours with a grade C or better in courses in the major core (not including “other requirements” and “specialty electives”).

C. List existing courses by title and number indicating those that are required. List and describe new courses that will be proposed.

See attached Addendum A for the courses that will appear in the 2008 course catalog. As stated above, as we move forward with the BME program, we intend to develop courses within the major that would also satisfy Connections requirements. These may include, for example, Technologies for Developing Countries, which would satisfy a Global Issues requirement.

III. Faculty (if applicable)

A. Estimate the need for new faculty for the proposed program.

The existing track within CAMS is adequately staffed to provide for all of the current courses at their current level of enrollment. No new faculty are needed at this time. Two new positions within the College of Arts & Sciences have been allocated by the Provost to enhance this program, and searches to fill those positions are expected to begin soon. Two additional positions have been allocated within the School of Medicine for the BME Department to further enhance the program.

B. If the employment of new faculty requires additional funds, explain the source of funding.

No new faculty are needed at this time.

IV. Facilities and Equipment

A. Describe facilities available for the proposed program.

Facilities for the new program include existing BME departmental space that is currently being used for the BME track in CAMS. This consists of the biomedical instrumentation laboratory (MacNider 437); a modern machine shop and prototyping facility that currently supports the undergraduate BME design sequence and BME independent research projects (Taylor Hall 401 and 412); and new space agreed upon by the SoM as part of the resource allocation from the Provost. This new space will be an 800 square foot room in Mary Ellen Jones on the 2nd floor that will be

5


specifically outfitted for the BME design classes. The instrumentation teaching lab in 437 MacNider was renovated five years ago with new furniture and equipment at a value of ~ $70,000, and updated last year with new computers and other equipment. It primarily supports the BME instrumentation and circuit labs, as well as undergraduate research projects. The machine shop and prototyping facility in 401 and 412 Taylor Hall is a part of the research laboratory of Robert Dennis (appointed in both BME and CAMS). These rooms house a very good selection of modern and classical prototyping and manufacturing tools and equipment, including a CNC lathe and milling machine, welders, a laser machining station and a 3‐D fusion deposition modeler.

These facilities are supported by the Provost through a one‐time start‐up of $50k (received in fall 2007) and an annual recurring fund of $30k. This will cover supplies and equipment needed to support BME undergraduate instruction. In addition, they will be maintained by a new EPA non‐faculty position, Laboratory Education Specialist, who will begin work on February 1, 2008.

B. Describe the effect of this new program on existing facilities and indicate whether they will be adequate, both when it begins and during subsequent years.

As a shift in the status of an existing robust program, and not the initiation of a new endeavor, the program has the necessary facilities for its current enrollment. We currently have resources allocated or promised that will enable us to accommodate an enrollment of approximately 50 students per year. However, given future enrollment increases at UNC and the growing popularity of the Biomedical Engineering major, we expect to grow the program beyond that number. As can be seen from the above table, we may approach the limit of 50 students for the class of 2011. Therefore more resources may be needed in the near future.

C. Discuss any information technology services needed and/or available.

The information technologies services needed are currently supported by the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine. No new services are required

D. Discuss sources of financial support for facilities and equipment.

The financial support for facilities and equipment for the program comes from the College of Arts and Sciences and from the School of Medicine. No new financial resources are needed at this time.

V. Administration

A. Describe how the proposed program will be administered. Where will the responsible individuals be located? What are their responsibilities? To whom will they report in the College?

The degree will be administered by the College of Arts and Sciences. The academic home will be within the Curriculum in Applied and Materials Sciences, as was the previous Biomedical Engineering track within the Applied Sciences B.S. degree. The program will be administered by the Chair of CAMS. At this time, there are no faculty with full appointments in CAMS. The faculty that teach the courses with the APPL designation are associated with CAMS and are determined in consultation with the home departments within the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine.

B. Explain any inter‐departmental or inter‐unit administrative plans.

6


The chair will, in consultation with the Chair of the BME Department, appoint an associate chair for the BME undergraduate program who will also serve on a curriculum review committee composed of faculty of the Biomedical Engineering Department within the School of Medicine. Teaching assignments for courses within the BME graduate program (BMME designations, at the 400 level and above) will be made by the chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering in consultation with the chair of CAMS. The teaching assignments for other courses required for the major described with APPL designation, will be made by the chair of CAMS in consultation with the Chairs of the home departments of the faculty in question (most of whom have BME as their home department). This is how these assignments are currently handled.

VI. Budget

A. Provide estimates of the additional costs required to implement the program and identify the proposed sources of the additional required funds.

The existing track within CAMS is adequately funded to provide for the program activities at their current level of enrollment. No new resources are needed at this time.

B. Identify EPA and SPA positions using appropriate titles and levels.

CAMS currently has a full‐time Administrative Assistant I. No additional staff positions are required.

C. Identify any larger or specialized equipment and any unusual supplies requirements.

There are no new equipment or supply requirements at this time.

VII. Timetable

Since this is an existing program, we will proceed with the BME B.S. degree immediately upon administrative approval. We expect this to be in place by July 1, 2009. Students who are enrolled as freshman and sophomores at that time will receive the BME B.S. degree; students who are juniors and seniors at the time the change takes place will receive the APPL B.S. degree.

VIII. Miscellaneous

We attach two addenda. Addendum A is the course description that is proposed at this time to be included in the 2008 course catalog. It will allow the committee to understand the content of the APPL and BMME courses. Addendum B is a typical course schedule that a student would take within the major.

Administrative Boards of the College of Arts and Sciences and the General College Recommendations for Distance Learning Courses As amended and approved February 20, 2008 (tracked) The College of Arts and Sciences, the largest unit at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is charged with responsibility for all first and second year students and providing courses for over 80% of all undergraduates, and is committed to the in-class course experience as the predominant mode of instruction and the primary undergraduate experience at Carolina. Distance Learning courses are also part of the total class offerings within each Department and Curriculum. They therefore are developed, administered, and taught with the same attention to high quality as all other courses. The College of Arts and Sciences reaffirms that the Departments and Curricula should continue to develop and plan courses as part of their full instructional portfolio, and collaborate with the Friday Center for Continuing Education on their administration and logistics. As on-line course instructors hold faculty appointments in the College of Arts and Sciences, their identification and hiring are the sole responsibility of the Departments and Curricula. All faculty members, including those who teach on-line, must know the requirements of their majors and academic policies and procedures as well as the role of General Education. Even as faculty embrace electronic delivery of course content in a wide variety of ways and disciplines, it is necessary to consider more closely the way in which on-line instruction for entire courses interacts with the traditional classroom delivery. Departments and Curricula need to be actively involved in the development of on-line instruction and have flexibility to tailor their course offerings, as well as identify instructors. The following criteria are directed toward undergraduate students pursuing degrees in the College of Arts and Sciences at UNC-Chapel Hill. For this purpose, on-line refers to on-line courses and self-paced courses whether computer based or not. Current policy for undergraduate students at UNC-Chapel Hill:

1. A maximum of two on-line classes can be taken in a semester if the student is not enrolled on campus.

2. Full-time students on campus may take no more than one on-line course per semester.

3. A maximum of 10 courses or 30 hours of self-paced courses may be counted toward graduation.

In 2006-2007 Interim Dean Madeline G. Levine charged a committee to consider issues regarding the administration, policies and planning for distance learning courses offered through the Friday Center. The group was chaired by Larry Band (Geography) and included Carolyn Cannon (Academic Advising), Karen Gil (Psychology), Lloyd Kramer (History), Barbara Stenross (designee for Carolyn Cannon), James Thompson (English). These recommendations resulted from their report, subsequently reviewed by the Senior Associate Deans in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Educational Policy Committee. New and revised policy effective July 1, 2008, for students who enter the University in Fall 2008, in addition to that listed above. These policies are in effect for all degree-seeking students (both full-time and part-time) in the College of Arts and Sciences as new or transfer students and do not apply to coursework taken prior to matriculating:

1. Courses offered in this modality must follow established University policy. Each on-line course must have appropriate methods for assignments, grading, examinations, and course evaluations appropriate to on-line instruction while at the same time keeping the course equivalent to that taught in the traditional format (the number of assignments may vary, as may their value).

2. No more than six on-line courses or 18 credits (all of which must be designated UNC-Chapel Hill) can be counted toward a degree in the College of Arts and Sciences. On-line courses required for a degree are not included in this total.

3. First year students may not take on-line courses in other than exceptional circumstances.

4. No more than two on-line courses in any one department or curriculum may count toward a minor, major, or degree in the College of Arts and Sciences.

5. Self-paced courses cannot be counted toward a degree in the College in Arts and Sciences in other than exceptional circumstances and with permission of the appropriate dean.

6. Each unit should designate a faculty member who will be the initial contact point (rather than an individual instructor) to work with the Friday Center to develop offerings.

September12, 2007 Dr. Jay Smith, Associate Dean Office of Undergraduate Curricula Campus Box #3504 Dear Dean Jay Smith, The interdisciplinary Asian Studies major is now more than a quarter-century old, and Asian studies at Carolina has grown, from a handful of colleagues in different units with a shared vision, to a full-fledged department with numerous faculty and substantial programs and course offerings. Consequently, the time is ripe for a reexamination of our core major. We propose herein a restructuring that we feel effectively updates and strengthens the interdisciplinary Asian Studies major. This proposal has met with the approval of the departmental curriculum committee, the Asian Studies faculty, and the Asian Studies Advisory Committee. If approved by the Admin Boards, it will take effect with the entering class in fall 2008. The attached table most clearly summarizes the differences between the old version of the Asian Studies interdisciplinary major and the proposed new one, and gives a brief justification of each. I will here review and explain the rationale for each of the principal changes:

• Currently, there are no courses specifically required for the ASIA major. The introduction of a required new gateway course (ASIA 150, approved on 12/27/07), which will both introduce and interrogate the idea of Asia, will familiarize students with themes and issues of global relevance and will provide a conceptual framework for their further studies within Asian Studies.

• Currently, a student can complete the ASIA major without taking a single course in the department. This made sense in the past when we were a curriculum and had thus to rely in large part on course offerings by affiliated faculty across campus. Now that we have become a department, with a growing number of our own faculty teaching diverse topics and regions of Asia , the new major will require that a portion of the major coursework be done with our own faculty, and within the home department.

• We have discarded completely the three-category structure of the old major, which has proven to be increasingly arbitrary. The underlying ideal of disciplinary diversity is better realized in the new requirement to take courses in other departments, which will ensure that students are exposed to the perspectives and methods of other disciplines.

• The old requirement of covering more than one country dates back to the days when the Curriculum in (East) Asian Studies only taught courses dealing with China and Japan. Here again, the original intent is retained but updated. Almost any single Middle East course will cover more than one country, but that doesn’t fulfill the intent of seeking geographic diversity; consequently, we have reframed that requirement in terms of regions of Asia rather than individual nations.

• Currently up to two advanced language courses are allowed as major courses. With the alternatives now offered by the language concentrations, it seems appropriate to reduce this option to one course. For the student who pursues a second Asian language, a year’s study is effectively required for a major course; although the encounter with a second culture is valuable,

the languages involved are for the most part sufficiently challenging that the modest knowledge to be gained in a first semester does not warrant a major course.

• First-Year Seminar courses are accepted, but limited; the purpose is to uphold the rigor of the major by restricting the amount of it that can be completed at an introductory level.

• Formerly, both senior honors thesis courses counted toward the major. In order to preserve the content core of the major, we now adopt the model followed by some other departments in which only the second thesis course counts.

I attach the current description of the major, from the Undergraduate Bulletin, and a draft of the new major description. In addition to this restructuring of the major, we also have a number of course additions and deletions to propose. The proposed additions (with old-major categorization and proposed new-major regional classification indicated parenthetically where appropriate) will enrich our interdisciplinary offerings:

• AMST 253: Jewish Women in America (History) • ARAB 350: Women and Leadership in the Arab World (Middle East) • ART 351: Crusader Art (Humanities; Middle East) • ART 458: Islamic Palaces, Gardens, & Court Cultures (Humanities; Middle East) • ART 561: Art of Islamic Spain & North Africa (Humanities; Middle East) • ASIA 50: Real World Arabic (Middle East; pending approval) • ASIA 57: Dis-Orienting the Orient • ASIA 150: Asia: An Introduction (Social Science) • ASIA 163: Hindi-Urdu Poetry in Performance (Humanities; South Asial) • ASIA 164: Music of South Asia (Humanities; South Asia) • ASIA 165: Bollywood Cinema (Humanities; South Asia) • ENGL 289: Jewish-American Literature and Culture of the 20th Century (Humanities) • GERM 56: Germans, Jews, and the History of Antisemitism (History) • GERM 270: German Culture and the Jewish Question (Social Science) • HIST 262: History of the Holocaust: The Destruction of the European Jews (History) • HIST 277: The Conflict Over Israel/Palestine (History; Middle East) • HIST/ASIA 286: Samurai, Peasant, Merchant, and Outcaste: Japan under the Tokugawa, 1550-

1850 (History; Japan) • LING 563: Structure of Japanese (Social Science; Japan) • RELI 103: Intro to the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Literature (Humanities) • RELI 106: Introduction to Early Judaism (Humanities) • RELI 107: Introduction to Modern Judaism (Humanities) • RELI 110: The Archaeology of Palestine in the New Testament Period (Humanities; Middle East) • RELI 205: Legends of Genesis (Humanities) • RELI 206: Prophecy and Divination in Ancient Israel & Judah (Humanities) • RELI/ASIA 285: Buddhist Tradition in SE Asia (Humanities; SE Asia) • RELI 286: Japanese Religious Traditions (Humanities; Japan) • RELI 287: Japanese Religions after 1868 (Humanities; Japan) • RELI 288: Chinese Religions (Humanities; China) • RELI 343: Religion in Modern Israel (Humanities) • RELI 480: Modern Muslim Literatures (Humanities) • RELI 481: Religion, Fundamentalism, and Nationalism (Humanities) • RELI/ASIA 487: Mountains, Pilgrimage, and Sacred Space (Humanities)

• RELI/ASIA 488: Shinto in Japanese History (Humanities; Japan) • RELI 503: Exploring the Dead Sea Scrolls (Humanities; Middle East) • RELI 512: Ancient Synagogues (Humanities) • RELI/ASIA 584: The Quran as Literature (Humanities; Middle East) • RELI 602: What are the Holy Scriptures? The Formation of the Hebrew Canon (Humanities) • SOCI 419: Sociology of the Islamic World (Social Science; Middle East)

We propose to delete from the major the following courses, as they are themselves being deleted.

• ASIA 53: Geisha in History, Fiction, Fantasy • ASIA 253: Islam, Identity, & the Arts • ASIA 340: Asian American Literature • ASIA 360: Asian American Literature

We also propose to delete from the major the following courses, as they are not relevant to the Asian Studies major:

• ANTH 103: Anthropology of Globalization • ANTH 120: Anthropology through Expressive Cultures • ANTH 320: Anthropology of Development. • HIST 393: Undergraduate Seminar in History • HNUR 490: Topics in Hindi-Urdu Literature & Language (because this is a language course) • POLI 195: Undergraduate Seminar • RELI 199: Topics in the Study of Religions • RELI 328: Topics in Comparative Religion • RELI 490: Selected Topics in the Study of Asian Religions

And finally, we propose to add to the major (in both old and new form) the condition that none of the following pairs of courses may both be counted for the major, due to excessive overlap in content: HIST/ASIA 138 & RELI/ASIA 180; HIST/ASIA 139 & ASIA/RELI 181; ASIA 451 & HIST/ASIA 538. If you or the Administrative Board members have any questions about these proposed changes, please let me know. Sincerely, Sahar Amer Director of Undergraduate Studies Department of Asian Studies
