One‐Step Academic Program Proposal/Approval Form of 62 RACAA Review July 16; Adopted August 30; Finalized October 3, 2016, USG System Office, MVMM

1) Rationale: Provide the rationale for proposing the new academic program. The Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT) currently offers a Master of Science in Applied Engineering (MSAE) graduate degree program that is shared by and serves the Departments of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Information Technology. Currently, approximately 15 students are admitted to the MSAE-Civil Engineering and Construction (CEC) concentration related to Civil Engineering. The MSAE-CEC concentration has shown consistent growth since its launch beginning Fall 2015. The first graduate of the MSAE-CEC is anticipated at the end of Spring 2017. This proposal is to add a new Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE) degree program that would supplement and complement the existing undergraduate Civil Engineering program in the College of Engineering and Information Technology at Georgia Southern University. It must be noted that in actuality, this is a proposed degree program/title reorganization that will separate the existing MSAE-CEC concentration out of the MSAE and create a stand-alone MSCE degree program. The MSCE will be designated by a new engineering degree Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code. The MSAE-CEC currently operates under a CIP code designated for Engineering Technology programs that does not support the accurate tracking and reporting of the field of study and program completions appropriate to an EAC-ABET Civil Engineering discipline. No new courses are required to offer the proposed degree, and faculty workload in Civil Engineering already includes the necessary graduate courses; therefore, this proposed program/title reorganization will not require any new additional resources. Additionally, teaching facilities are in place to offer the MSCE degree which are also shared with the undergraduate BSCons and BSCE programs. The MSCE degree, as proposed, would require a total of 30 credit hours in either thesis or non-thesis tracks. A six credit hour thesis is required or a three credit hour independent study project is required in the non-thesis track. In either case, one of four possible concentration areas must be selected. The concentrations are: Construction Engineering, Environmental/Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical/Transportation Engineering, Each concentration consists of a minimum of nine semester hours of courses specific to the concentration area combined with 15 or 18 hours of restricted electives as contracted with the faculty advisor dependent upon the track selected. By design, the curriculum provides both specificity in at least one concentration area as well as breadth and depth of study in the Civil Engineering discipline. Civil engineers typically find that advanced education and credentials beyond the bachelor’s degree are necessary to participate in specialized design areas. The MSCE degree is preferred and often required for civil engineering graduates to advance their career opportunities in specific civil engineering professional fields such as the concentration areas available in the proposed MSCE; construction, environmental/water resources, geotechnical/transportation, and/or structural engineering. Recent growing needs and demands from regional industry, particularly articulated by members of the Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering and IT corporate and program advisory committees, has



raised awareness and helped steer the University’s responsiveness to meeting regional needs and fostering economic development by moving this proposed program forward. Although Georgia Southern University currently offers the MSAE-CEC, this degree and concentration is not a recognizable or valued degree by civil engineering professionals nor is it an equivalent to the proposed MSCE degree. The MSCE would replace the current MSAE-CEC concentration path with a degree that is highly recognizable and valued within the EE industry. The MSAE degree is a non-traditional name as compared to the MSCE. Some alumni and regional employers have expressed confusion regarding the current degree title. The MSCE degree title is widely recognized in the professional field, and will improve the marketability of program graduates. The proposed MSCE program will fill a substantial gap in our academic programs needed to better attract civil engineering graduate students and provide advanced education in the specific civil engineering professional fields of construction, environmental/water resources, geotechnical/transportation, and structural engineering. The proposed new MSCE degree program with its concentrations will further advance growth in graduate student population and will lead to continued enhancement of both the academic and scholarly engineering experience at Georgia Southern (both graduate and undergraduate). The proposed degree program/title reorganization will lead to scholarly and academic growth in the department, and is anticipated to be a strong recruiting tool for future faculty hires.

2) Mission Fit and Disciplinary Trends: Description of the program’s fit with the institutional mission and nationally accepted trends in the discipline (explain in narrative form). If the program is outside of the scope of the institutional mission and sector, provide the compelling rationale for submission.

The proposed new MSCE degree program is consistent with the institutional mission which states that Georgia Southern University is committed to advancing the State of Georgia and the region through the benefits of higher education, offering baccalaureate through doctoral degrees and a variety of outreach programs. The University fosters access to its educational programs, provides a comprehensive and fulfilling university experience, and enhances quality of life in the region through collaborative relationships supporting education, health care and human services, cultural experiences, scientific and technological advancement, athletics, and regional development.

Georgia Southern University’s current strategic themes embrace a student-centered mission that focuses on: 1) promoting academic excellence; 2) enhancing student success; 3) increasing research and creativity; and 4) ensuring fiscal sustainability. Major programmatic successes in the undergraduate Civil Engineering program have established a solid foundation on which to build the MSCE degree. Establishing a successful BSCE program of approximately 300 students that received maximum ABET accreditation, hiring outstanding faculty who successfully teach, conduct research and partner with business, industry and government within Georgia and beyond and establishing a successful concentration in the MSAE that has shown growth and great successes by recruiting outstanding masters students, Georgia Southern is ideally suited to provide the proposed



MSCE degree program of study. Absent another comparable academic program within a 200-mile radius of the University, it is also critical that Georgia Southern take the lead in providing essential regional leadership through the proposed advanced and specialized MSCE degree. Furthermore, Georgia Southern is uniquely located to capitalize on the expansion activities at the Port of Savannah and associated development of the I-16 corridor.

3) Description and Objectives: Program description and objectives (explain in narrative form). The proposed MSCE degree program will prepare civil engineering graduates to advance their career opportunities in the specific civil engineering professional fields of construction, environmental/water resources, geotechnical/transportation, and structural engineering. Because the civil engineering undergraduate degree must incorporate breadth across the general field of civil engineering, it is difficult to provide the depth in any one of these specific disciplines necessary for professional practice. The MSCE degree is designed to provide such specialization of content. The proposed MSCE program is designed to be primarily a classroom-based graduate degree program with the potential to offer some online courses going forward. The curriculum will prepare graduates to take their place as practitioners of civil engineering design consistent with the constituent employer needs in Georgia and the surrounding region. Courses will be delivered primarily by full-time tenure-track faculty with professional experience who also teach EAC-ABET accredited undergraduate BSCE courses and will practice the same processes in the upper level graduate MSCE courses. It should be re-emphasized that the MSCE degree will merely replace the current MSAE concentration in Civil Engineering and Construction without significant changes. The MSCE degree will utilize very similar curriculum in both thesis and non-thesis options. The thesis option will require students to complete eight (8) courses consisting of twenty-four (24) credit hours plus six (6) hours of thesis and the non-thesis option will require nine (9) courses consisting of twenty-seven (27) credit hours plus three (3) credit hours of individual project for the fulfillment of the MSCE degree. Consistent with the university, college and departmental missions, this program will bridge theory with practice, extend the learning environment beyond the classroom and offer a student-centered environment enhanced by technology and transcultural experiences within private and public partnerships. The following MSCE program objectives are designed to:

1. measurably extend the knowledge of MSCE graduates by emphasizing cognitive, attitudinal, and performance-based knowledge and skills required for intellectual leadership, original research and scholarship,

2. expand the intellectual breadth of MSCE graduates in the application of their engineering skills and in the depth of advanced specializations necessary for professional careers and advancement within the fields of civil engineering, and

3. provide to MSCE graduates a comprehensive and highly developed curriculum that is responsive to change and extends beyond the existing boundaries of knowledge in a highly scientific and technological society.



4) Need: Description of the justification of need for the program. (Explain in narrative form

why the program is required to expand curricular academic offerings at the institution, the data to provide graduates for the workforce, and/or the data in response to specific agency and/or corporation requests in the local or regional area.)

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects an 8% growth in the period from 2014 to 2024. As infrastructure continues to age, civil engineers will be needed for a growing number of projects to rebuild bridges, repair roads, upgrade levees and dams as well as airports, buildings and water systems. The State of Georgia, like most of the country, is experiencing growth in infrastructure maintenance, design, and construction demand. At the same time, the US is encountering an aging workforce of professional engineers. The existing MSAE degree program at Georgia Southern does not afford the name recognition or necessary civil engineering credentials to attract adequate numbers of students to meet the needs of the industry. The MSCE degree also provides a clear path toward Professional Engineering (PE) licensure, typically counting as one year of the required four years of post-graduate experience. It should be noted that the American Society of Civil Engineers currently supports requiring a Master’s degree or equivalent as one of the prerequisites for a Professional Engineering license. Finally, most higher education institutions also require a minimum of a Master’s degree to teach at the college level. On average, Americans holding a Master’s degree earn 35% to 50% more than those with only a Bachelor’s degree. Further, as indicated from US Department of Labor data, there is growing demand for civil engineers to meet design, maintenance and construction needs.

DOL Indicators for the State of Georgia: Table 4.1 below provides Georgia Department of Labor (DOL) data for the United States and the Atlanta metropolitan area, indicating continued growth in construction from 2015-2016. As shown, the Atlanta metro area is outpacing the national upward trend by more than 4 percent. This data suggests a correlative increase in demand for specialized civil engineering graduates as well. Table 4.1: Employees on construction payrolls, United States and the Atlanta metropolitan area (numbers in thousands) http://www.bls.gov/regions/southeast/news-release/pdf/areaemployment_atlanta.pdf Region 2015 2016 Net Change % growth US 6,734 6,917 183 2.7 Atlanta 109.5 117.2 7.7 7.0

5) Demand: Description of how the program demonstrates demand. (Explain in narrative

form the data that supports demand for the program from existing and potential students and requests from regional industries.)



Recent growing needs and demands from regional industry has been particularly articulated by members of the Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering and IT corporate and program advisory committees and specifically those who represent the interests of civil engineering programs and curriculum. A search was conducted to identify a civil engineering program with similar characteristics to use as a benchmark of expectations we should have relative to the size of an MSCE program. Texas Tech University has a similar sized undergraduate program in Civil Engineering as Georgia Southern with 364 majors. Table 5.1 shows recent MSCE enrollments for the undergraduate Civil Engineering program at Texas Tech. Using these data as an indicator of size, the potential enrollment in the proposed MSCE degree program at Georgia Southern should be about four times the current enrollment that exists in the MSAE-CAC degree program. It must be understood that the current MSAE-CAC concentration not only has BSCE graduates but includes some graduates of the BS Construction degree. The reputation and name recognition of a MSCE program therefore should attract even more students graduating from BSCE programs.

Responses to a 2016 Survey (Tables 5.2-5.9) of both alumni and current MSAE students support the demand and need for MS-level graduate engineering programs at Georgia Southern, and provides significant insights as to why the alumni and current MSAE students choose Georgia Southern for their graduate engineering education. Over 90% of respondents (41/45) cited Georgia Southern’s MSAE program as one of their first three choices (Table 5.2). About 98% (44/45) of respondents considered MSAE at Georgia Southern for their career advancement, Table 5.3. The desire to work with a particular faculty member at Georgia Southern, affordability, the campus and its location figured as prominent factors in selecting Georgia Southern for over 93% (42/45) of respondents, Table 5.4. About 44%-51% of respondents would not have considered other Universities (within or outside Georgia) for their graduate degree if the MSAE were not available at Georgia southern, Tables 5.5 and 5.6. About 85% of respondents (38/45) considered the MSAE at Georgia Southern as having had some impact on their career advancement, Table 5.7.



Over 90% of respondents (41/45) gave MSAE program at Georgia Southern a rating of 3-5 (on a scale of 1-5, 1 being terrible and 5- being excellent), Table 5.8. Almost 95% of respondents (43/45) considered financial assistantship as an important factor on the likelihood of attending graduate school, Table 5.9.

6) Duplication: Description of how the program does not present duplication of existing academic offerings in the geographic area and within the system as a whole. If similar programs exist, indicate why these existing programs are not sufficient to address need and demand in the state/institution’s service region and how the proposed program is demonstrably different. There are currently only two other MSCE programs in the state of Georgia. Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State both offer Master of Science in Civil Engineering degrees. In a review of enrollment and degrees conferred in FY’15 to Georgia residents, it was found that GA Tech awarded ninety-three MSCE degrees. This was out of a total of 572 Masters Degrees across all disciplines. Masters of Civil Engineering represented 16% of the total number of masters degrees awarded for that period. From an analysis of 36 counties located in southeast Georgia (south of Augusta, east of Macon to the Florida border) it was found that eighteen masters degrees, across all disciplines, were awarded in those counties. By extrapolating those numbers, potentially 2.8 MSCE degrees (16% of the 18 degrees conferred) would have been available to fulfill demand for MSCE’s across those counties in Southeast Georgia. Kennesaw State University’s Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology conferred a total of five MSCE degrees in FY 2015. Data was unavailable as to the number of master’s degrees awarded by county in Georgia. It is apparent that due to the small number of graduates, the impact on need for civil engineers in Southeastern Georgia would be negligible. As Georgia Southern does not have a doctoral (PhD) program in engineering, its target audience is students, primarily from Georgia, who desire a graduate degree in engineering to enhance their career prospective and progression. Thus, Georgia Southern has a different target audience than Georgia Tech and UGA, which targets primarily master-level students

Table 5.9



that will go on to become doctoral students, drawing on pools of highly-qualified applicants from across the US and around the world—not necessarily giving priority to the needs of the residents of the State of Georgia. In Fall 2015, only 62 of 9,892 graduate students enrolled at Georgia Tech were from the thirty-three counties in Southeast Georgia (http://factbook.gatech.edu/admissions-and-enrollment/enrollment-by-georgia-county-table-4-13/). Thus there is no anticipated concern regarding duplication of programs from existing MSCE programs in the state.

11) Waiver to Degree-Credit Hour (if applicable): State whether semester credit-hours exceed maximum limits for the academic program and provide a rationale. A waiver to the degree-credit hour requirement is not required. The program curriculum requires 30 credit hours for graduation, the same as the University’s other graduate engineering programs.

12) Student Learning Outcomes: Student Learning outcomes and other associated outcomes of the proposed program (provide a narrative explanation).



The following student outcomes are developed and approved by the program curriculum and assessment committees. They are associated with Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives in the cognitive domain and grouped under four categories that MSEE students are expected to acquire upon graduation: Graduates of the MSCE program will have the ability to:

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics through differential equations, calculus-based physics, chemistry, and at least one additional area of basic science;

2. Apply probability and statistics to address uncertainty; 3. Analyze and solve problems appropriate to civil engineering and/or construction; 4. Conduct experiments related to civil engineering and/or construction and analyze and

interpret the resulting data; 5. Design a system, component, or process in a civil engineering and/or construction

context; 6. Include principles of sustainability in design; 7. Explain basic concepts in project management, business, public policy, and leadership; 8. Analyze issues in professional ethics; 9. Explain the importance of professional licensure; and 10. Communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.

13) Assessment and Quality: Describe institutional assessments throughout the program to ensure academic quality, viability, and productivity as this relates to post-approval enrollment monitoring, degree productivity, and comprehensive program review. Georgia Southern University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) to award baccalaureate, masters, specialists, and doctorate degrees. As part of institutional assessment requirement of SACS-COC, the current MSAE degree program is assessed annually and the annual assessment report is presented to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness of Georgia Southern. The same process will be followed for the proposed retitled MSCE program for annual assessment. Additionally, institutional assessments (such as comprehensive program review) will be continued to ensure viability, and productivity as related to post-approval enrollment monitoring, and degree productivity. Annual Academic Assessment All academic degree programs at Georgia Southern University undergo annual assessment, including identifying expected student learning outcomes, assessing the extent to which these outcomes are achieved, and providing evidence of improvement based upon analysis of the results. These Academic Program Assessment Reports are collected annually from all academic programs, including all undergraduate and graduate degree programs, certificate programs not embedded within the degree program, and minor programs of study not associated with a major degree program. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness coordinates the review of the annual assessment process. Each Academic Program Assessment Report is reviewed by two members of the Academic Assessment Steering Committee, using the Academic Assessment Rubric. Results of the annual review,



including combined scores and narrative feedback, are provided to deans, associate deans, department chairs, and academic program assessment coordinators. All program faculty are involved in the discussion of the feedback at the departmental and/or program meetings. To ensure continuous improvement of academic programs and the assessment process, Academic Program Assessment Report scores on the Academic Assessment Rubric are tracked by college and academic program. The Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE) degree program will be automatically folded into the annual academic assessment review through the following process. The Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs notifies the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (SACSCOC Liaison) of all curriculum actions involving SACSCOC review and/or notification. Institutional Effectiveness will add the program to the list of academic programs requiring review. Deans, associate deans, department chairs, and program coordinators are also aware of this requirement. With an anticipated Fall 2017 implementation date, the first annual assessment report would include the results of the 2017-2018 academic year. As part of this internal process, MSCE enrollments and degree productivity will be reviewed by the Civil Engineering department chair and CEIT dean to ensure continued viability. To ensure academic quality, (a) the curriculum will be reviewed annually by the Civil Engineering Faculty; and (b) the assessment of learning outcomes will be conducted by the MSCE faculty on a three-year rotating basis, with two of the six outcomes assessed each year. Comprehensive Program Review In addition to the annual academic assessments, all academic programs, including undergraduate and graduate degree programs and certificates not embedded within the degree program, are placed on a seven-year review cycle for Comprehensive Program Review. Coordinated by the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Comprehensive Program Review evaluates the quality, viability, and productivity of the academic program based upon pre-determined metrics, resulting in one of the following actions: The Provost’s Office initiates Comprehensive Program Review by providing programs undergoing review with their program review template—pre-populated (to the extent

□ Program MEETS Ins tu on’s Criteria _____ Program is critical to the institutional mission and will be retained.

_____ Program is critical to the institutional mission and is growing or in a high demand field and thus will be enhanced.

□ Program DOES NOT MEET Ins tu on’s Criteria ______ Program will be placed on a monitoring report

______ Program will undergo substantive curricular revisions ______ Program will be deactivated

______ Program will be voluntarily terminated. ______ Other (identify)



possible) with official institutional census data for the pre-determined metrics. Following an orientation meeting with each program by college, program faculty complete any remaining metrics and provide an analysis and recommendation for the program. This self-study document is discussed by all departmental faculty at a department meeting, following which the department chair writes an independent assessment of the academic program. The chair’s assessment also includes a recommendation for the program. The self-study document and chair’s assessment are then reviewed by the dean of the college (or his/her designee) who also writes an independent assessment and makes a recommendation for the program. These three documents are forwarded to the University’s Undergraduate or Graduate Committee (as applicable) for review. At this level, each program is reviewed by two reviewers and scored according to a rubric. The reviewers then meet to discuss their scoring, agree upon a combined score for each section of the rubric, and write the narrative feedback. These scores and narrative are forwarded to the Provost’s Office for further dissemination and the results included in the relevant committee’s minutes which are forwarded to Faculty Senate. Faculty Senate reviews and endorses the reviews through its review of the committees’ meeting minutes. The Provost’s Office also conducts an independent review of the process and results, looking for ways to facilitate and improve future reviews. Final reports and actions (once approved by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs) are submitted to the University System of Georgia System Office which will periodically review institutional reports and provide additional feedback. All feedback received is shared by the Provost’s Office with the applicable dean, associate dean, department chair, and academic program. The MSCE degree will be incorporated into Comprehensive Program Review by adding the program to the review schedule when all approvals are received. The Provost’s Office will assign a review year seven years out from the program’s implementation date. With an anticipated implementation of Fall 2017, the first Comprehensive Program Review for the program would be conducted during 2023-2024. Finally, an existing Civil Engineering Professional Advisory Committee will continue to review assessment findings, and provide external evaluation and validation of the MSCE program with regards to currency, relevancy, and quality. To ensure academic quality, (a) the curriculum will be reviewed annually by the CEC faculty; and (b) the assessment of learning outcomes will be conducted by the CEC faculty on a three-year rotating basis.

14) Accreditation: Describe disciplinary accreditation requirements associated with the program (if applicable, otherwise indicate NA). NA



Georgia Southern University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS-COC) to award baccalaureate, masters, specialists, and doctorate degrees. While all undergraduate degree programs in the College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT) are accredited by EAC of ABET, MS programs in engineering are not traditionally subject to discipline-specific accreditation requirements. There is only one ABET accredited MSCE programs in the US--University of Louisville (Louisville, KY, US) Therefore, there is no plan for the MSCE program to seek discipline-specific accreditation.

15) Enrollment Projections: Provide projected enrollments for the program specifically during the initial years of implementation.

a) Will enrollments be cohort-based? Yes____ or No__X__ (place an X beside one) b) Explain the rationale used to determine enrollment projections.

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

I. ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

Student Majors (MSCE) --- 16 16 18 Shifted from other programs (MSAE) 10 0 0 0 New to the institution 7 9 11 13 Graduates or otherwise separated from program --- (9) (7) (9) Total Majors 17 16 20 22 Course Sections Satisfying Program Requirements

Previously existing 10 9 10 10 New 0 1 0 0 Total Program Course Sections 10 10 10 10 Credit Hours Generated by Those Courses Existing enrollments 120 72 96 132 New enrollments 126 162 198 234 Total Credit Hours 246 234 294 366

The above projections are based on the following assumptions, which follow from recent enrollment trends observed in the MSAE-CEC program:

In AY 1, it is anticipated that 10 MSAE-CEC students will transfer to the MSCE program. Seven new students will join the new MSCE program. This is in keeping with the enrollment growth witnessed in the MSAE-CEC program up to FY16. The students in the shifted group will require four courses (at three credits each) in Year 1 of the program, while those new to the program will require six courses (at three credits each) to be full-time.



The average number of credit hours per student per fiscal year varies according to full-time or part-time status. It is assumed that students enroll in 9 credit hours per semester on average their first, second and third semester and three credit hour there final semester for a total of 30 credits. This assumption ensures full-time status, which is a pre-requisite for any internal tuition support.

In AY 2, no students will transfer from the MSAE-CEC program. Nine new students will join the program—this is a conservative estimate of 20% growth based upon incoming numbers for the MSAE-CEC. Eighty-percent of the students shifted from the MSAE program will be completing their second year and accounted for as either graduating or otherwise being separated from the program. This is a conservative estimated based on the history of more mature concentrations in the MSAE program. The majority of the remaining twenty percent will be finishing thesis or project work. Those “new” students now in the second year of their studies will require four courses (at three credits each) in the second year of their graduate studies, while those in the second new group to the program will require six courses (at three credits each) to be full-time.

In AY 3, no students will transfer from the MSAE-CEC program. Eleven new students will join the program. Again, ninety percent of the previous year’s new population (and the ten percent that did not graduate in two years) are assumed to graduate or otherwise separate from the program in AY3. Thus it is projected that there will be 19 total majors. Those “second group new” students now in the second year of their graduate studies will require four courses (at three credits each) in the second year of their graduate studies, while those in the third new group to the program will require six courses (at three credits each) to be full-time. In AY 4, no students will transfer from the MSAE-CEC program. A slight reduction in growth is anticipated with only thirteen new students joining the program. Again, eighty percent of the previous year’s new population (and the twenty percent that did not graduate in two years) are assumed to graduate or otherwise separate from the program in AY3. Thus it is projected that there will be 22 total majors. At 24 majors (and growing) the MSCE program is about ¾ the size of most science and fine art MS program at Georgia Southern [GS 2015-16 Factbook]. 16) Faculty

a) Provide the total number of faculty members that will support this program: _0.875*_ *A composite of 0.875 FTE will be considered as offering of the program. No single faculty member is assigned full-time to the proposed retitled/restructured MSCEC program (or the current MSAE program); the program will be housed in the Department of Civil Engineering and Construction Management, drawing upon said faculty. There are 12 graduate faculty members in the Department of Civil Engineering that can contribute to the offering of the planned MSCEC, although their primary job assignments remain associated with the BSCE or BSCM programs. Two of these faculty lines are currently open, with one on track to be filled for AY17-18 and the second in AY18-19. Since students create individualized plans of study, and many will choose 50% of their courses at the 5000G-level (which places no additional significant burden on the faculty



since the course would be offered at the 5000-level regardless of graduate need), salary expenses cannot be pro-rated per faculty member providing instruction. Instead, the total number of sections needed to offer the program on an annual bases (ten) was first determined. Three separate courses, each worth three credit hours, must be offered for the first three semesters of the MSCE program to ensure that enrolled students are full-time (i.e. full-time status for a graduate student equates to a course load of 9 credit hours per semester). A single course/project/thesis is required in the fourth year, also worth three credit hours, giving each full-time student a total of 10 courses or 30 credits in a two-year rotation. Similarly, a second-year new cohort will need the same number of courses offered per semester. Three of the thirty courses will be taught by faculty in other engineering departments that have already accounted for the expense of their faculty teaching in their graduate program, and is not an addition expense for the MSCE program. Thus, the equivalent number of credit hours required to offer the program by CECM faculty was determined to be twenty-one. This value in turn was divided by a typical teaching load of 24 credits hours per year, which results in a composite total faculty FTE of 0.875.

b) Provide an inventory of faculty members directly involved with the administration and

instruction of the program. Annotate in parentheses the person who holds the role of department chair. For each faculty member listed, provide the information below in tabular form. Indicate whether any positions listed are projected new hires and currently vacant. (Multiple rows can be added to the table.) Note: The table below is similar to the SACS-COC faculty roster form.

c) Explain how faculty workloads will be impacted by the proposed new program.

Since this proposed program is the reorganization and retitling of an existing concentration in and existing program, with courses already being offered, no significant impact is expected to faculty workload-the majority of the proposed courses are currently being offered under the MSAE – CEC degree program or as 5000-level undergraduate courses. Any new courses will be implemented as 5000G courses (which parallel 5000-level courses at no significant impact), or because of rescheduling of existing courses, use of multi-year rotations, or workload assignment and integration of newly hired faculty in the BSCE program.

d) Explain whether additional faculty will be needed to establish and implement the program. Describe the institutional plan for recruiting additional faculty members in terms of required qualifications, financial preparations, timetable for adding faculty, and whether resources were shifted from other academic units, programs, or derived from other sources. Since the program is a retitling and reorganization of an existing concentration in the MSAE program, and since existing faculty are currently teaching the required courses in the former curriculum, no additional faculty will be needed to establish or implement the MSCEC program.

17) Fiscal and Estimated Budget

a) Describe the resources that will be used specifically for the program.

It should be re-iterated that the proposed MSCE program is a retitle/reorganization of the currently-existing MSAE-CEC concentration. As a result, there are no additional resources that will be required to offer the proposed MSCE program. All necessary resources to offer the MSCE are available because of courses taught in the MSAE program or the BSCE and BSCM programs. Any future equipment purchases will be requested through Georgia Southern’s existing budgeting and EOY allocation process.

b) Budget Instructions: Complete the form further below and provide a narrative to

address each of the following:

BUDGET NARRATIVE: Since no single faculty member is assigned to the MSCE program full-time, as explained in Section 10 of this proposal, it is not possible to know which electives graduate students will select for their personalized plan of study. As a result, it is impossible to calculate salary expenditures based upon pro-rated salaries of the faculty teaching the electives. Instead, a model was used based upon the number of courses any one graduate student would require in any given semester. Instead, the total number of sections needed to offer the program on an annual bases (ten) was first determined. Three separate courses, each worth three credit hours, must be offered for the first three semesters of the MSCE program to ensure that enrolled students are full-time (i.e. full-time status for a graduate student equates to a course load of 9 credit hours per semester). A single course/project/thesis is required in the fourth year, also worth three credit hours, giving each full-time student a total of 10 courses or 30 credits in a two-year



rotation. Similarly, a second-year new cohort will need the same number of courses offered per semester. Three of the thirty courses will be taught by faculty in other engineering departments, which have already accounted for the expense of their faculty teaching in their graduate program, and is not an additional expense for the MSCE program. Thus, the equivalent number of credit hours required to offer the program by CECM faculty on an annual basis was determined to be twenty-one. This value in turn was divided by a typical teaching load of 24 credits hours per year, which results in a composite total faculty FTE of 0.875. The expenditure associated with 0.875 FTE was calculated using the average departmental salary of $79,433, which equals $69,513. A 3% inflation increase was assumed for years 2, 3 and 4 for a total of $71,598, $73,746, and $75,958, respectively. No part time faculty are required since the courses in the program are currently being offered, and no additional faculty are required to continue offering them. No permanent graduate lines are included, since none exist in the MSAE program and this retitling-reorganization is to be carried out with no additional costs. The administrator cost is based on pro-rating the department chairs salary by the percentage f students in the graduate program as compared to the entire department (5.4%), which equals $7,569. A program director will receive a summer stipend of $3000 and a course release during the academic year at 9% of the department’s average salary, for a total administrative cost of $17,719 in Year 1 . A 3% cost of inflation increase is assumed in each of years two, three, and four; for administrator costs of $18,251, $18,796, and $19,362, respectively in each year. Similarly, 5.4% of the departments administrative assistant’s time is assumed dedicated to the graduate program ($1,495). Three percent inflation increases are assumed for years two, three and four ($$1,540, $1,586, and $1,634). An equivalent FTE for the faculty, administrator, and support staff salary was calculated (0.98). This equivalent FTE times the average department salary was used to calculate an equivalent salary ($78,577) with which fringe benefits were calculate. (Fringe benefits were calculated at a rate of 7.65% for FICA on the equivalent FTE salary, Health Care at rate of $8500 for 0.98 FTE, 13.15% retirement time equivalent salary expenditure, and life insurance at $138 for 0.98 FTE. Since this proposal is a re-titling and re-organization of an existing program completed at no additional costs, there are no new expenditures—personnel, recurring operating, or start-up. Current funding levels for library purchases for the BSCE program are adequate to also continue meeting the needs of the MS program. Faculty travel needs are currently meet by existing resources in the Civil Engineering Department Budget. Any new equipment needs will be requested through Georgia Southern’s annual and year-end budget process. Total expenditures are projected as $106,004 in year one, $109,184 in year two, $112,459 in year three, and $115,833 in year four, with year to year increases of three percent anticipated in subsequent years.



REVENUE NARRATIVE: Since the preponderance of students in the MSAE program have in-state tuition and are full-time, the 2016-17 Georgia Southern Tuition and Fees Rate of $3,539 (nine credit hours and in-state) is used for all revenue calculations. This translates to a per credit hour rate of $393.22. For budgeting purposes, this is a conservatively low number since in the future it is expected that some students will be out-of-state or international, and will pay a per credit hour rate of $10,991 per semester or $1221.22 per credit hour. Based upon the student credit hours generated as projected in Table 15.2, reallocation of funds associated with students transferring from the MSAE to the MSCE program will account for $$47,186 in the first fiscal year of the program. There are no anticipated transfer students in years two, three, or four since an entrance requirement into the program is a BSCE or equivalent. Thus the MSAE program is the only likely source of reallocated students, and the Civil Engineering concentrations in the MSAE program will not be accepting any new students. Anticipated revenue from new tuition is estimated as $49,546 in the first fiscal year, for a total of $96,732. In subsequent fiscal years, the projected revenue from new tuition is $92,013 in Year 2 (a slight decrease because of the large number of students graduating from the population shifted from the MSAE program), $115,607 in Year 3, and $143,919 in Year 4. There are no new student course (laboratory) fees involved with this proposal. Thus, the total revenue generated by the MSCE program is projected to be $96,732 in Fiscal Year 1, $92,013 in Year 2, $115,607 in Year 3, and $143,919 in Year 4. PROJECTED DEFICIT AND SURPLUS Based upon the above projection of expenditures and revenue, the MSCE program is projected to generate a deficit of $9,272 in year one, and a deficit of $17,171 in year two. By year three, the MSCE program is projected to run a surplus of $3,148 in year 3, and $28,086 in year four.

c) For Expenditures: i. Provide a description of institutional resources that will be required for the

program (e.g., personnel, library, equipment, laboratories, supplies, and capital expenditures at program start-up and recurring).

No new, additional resources are required in the reorganization and re-titling of this degree. All necessary resources to offer the MSCE are available because of courses taught in the MSAE program or the BSME program. EXISTING institutional resources are summarized in Appendixes 2 and 3.

ii. If the program involves reassigning existing faculty and/or staff, include

the specific costs/expenses associated with reassigning faculty and staff to



support the program (e.g., cost of part-time faculty to cover courses currently being taught by faculty being reassigned to the new program, or portion of full-time faculty workload and salary allocated to the program).

Existing faculty are already teaching the required courses in the curriculum as part of the MSAE degree that the MSCE will be retitled and reorganized from. No change in existing work load assignments will result.

d) For Revenue:

i. If using existing funds, provide a specific and detailed plan indicating the following three items: source of existing funds being reallocated; how the existing resources will be reallocated to specific costs for the new program; and the impact the redirection will have on units that lose funding. The existing funds indicated in Year 1 are from the tuition of continuing students currently enrolled in the MSAE program who will transfer to the MSCE program. This is a zero sum loss/gain between programs. No new Civil Engineering students will enroll in the MSAE program, so there is no redirection of existing funds after year 1. If students should decide to remain in the Civil Engineering concentrations of the MSAE program, any needed course to complete their degree will be offered in the MSCE program, so there is no negative impact on the MSAE program as a result of redirection of funding to the MSCE.

ii. Explain how the new tuition amounts are calculated. Since the preponderance of students in the MSAE program have in-state tuition and are full-time, the 2016-17 Georgia Southern Tuition and Fees Rate of $3,539 (nine credit hours and in-state) is used for all revenue calculations. This translates to a per credit hour rate of $393.22. For budgeting purposes, this is a conservatively low number since in the future it is expected that some students will be out-of-state or international, and will pay a per credit hour rate of $10,991 per semester or $1221.22 per credit hour.

iii. Explain the nature of any student fees listed (course fees, lab fees, program fees, etc.). Exclude student mandatory fees (i.e., activity, health, athletic, etc.). There are no new student course (laboratory) fees involved with this proposal.

iv. If revenues from Other Grants are included, please identify each grant and indicate if it has been awarded.



N/A

v. If Other Revenue is included, identify the source(s) of this revenue and the amount of each source. N/A - While research funds (RA support, Materials, Equipment, F&A, etc) are expected to continue and grow, the nature of funding awards cannot be predicted or anticipated. Thus, grant funding was not included in these budget estimates, further erring on the conservative-side with these estimates.

e) When Grand Total Revenue is not equal to Grand Total Costs:

i. Explain how the institution will make up the shortfall. If reallocated funds are the primary tools being used to cover deficits, what is the plan to reduce the need for the program to rely on these funds to sustain the program?

Please note, the above deficits in Year 1 and Year 2 are artificially high, and are assuming the creation of new programs. Since administrative costs, support staff, and associate fringe would be accounted for by the BSCE/CM programs whether or not the graduate program is offered, these values could arguable be left out of these budget calculation. If that were the case then the MSCE program expenditures would decrease by at least $10,000 per year.

ii. If the projected enrollment is not realized, provide an explanation for

how the institution will cover the shortfall. The graduate program will rely more heavily on courses in other departments or at the 5000-level, that would result in a reduction in the FTE required to offer the program.

($9,272)* ($17,171)* $3,148 $28,086 *Note the deficit in the first and second year is not a new expense. The proposed program is a no-cost reorganization and retitling of a concentration that currently exists and is being offered with existing resource. Additionally, all courses in the program are either offered at the 5000G-level, so they are offered at no additional expense because of current scheduling with an undergraduate section that would be offered whether or not the graduate seats were made available. Those 7000-level courses needed to ensure the appropriate ratio of 5000 to 7000-level are either currently offered by CECM faculty or electives are available in other engineering MS programs (at no additional cost to the MSCE program since expenses are already accounted for in the other department and the course would be offered with or without MSCE student enrollment).

Provide the building name(s) and floor(s) that will house or support the program. Indicate the campus, if this is part of a multi‐campus institution and not physically located on the main campus. Please do not simply list all possible space that could be used for the program. We are interested in the actual space that will be used for the program and its availability for use.

Engineering Bldg Room 1130 is already dedicated space shared by the MSAE and BSCE programs that will continue to be used in this capacity. Engineering Building Room 1104 is computer laboratory space that will continue to be shared with the BSCE program. Engineering Building Rooms 1107, 1108, 1109 and 1110 are Civil Engineering teaching laboratories currently shared by MSAE‐CEC and BSCE and BSCM programs that will continue to be shared with the MSCE program. Since the MSAE program is currently being offered in existing spaces, there is capacity to continue to offer (and grow) the MSCE program. While the above resources are necessary to offer the required courses in the MSCE, many of the spaces used to offer elective courses are identified in the Appendix. Since these electives are offered in spaces that are shared with the BSCE program and already exist, they were not included in answer 18a which wanted the floor space required to offer the program.
