Academic Senate Minutes 5-13-15 -- Attachment 3
1. Give the name of the department submitting the request, the full and exact title of the
proposed aggregate of courses, and whether it is an option, emphasis, or minor.
Chemical and Materials Engineering Department
Emphasis in Materials Engineering
2. Provide the full and exact title of the degree major program under which the aggregate of
courses will be offered, where applicable.
Master of Science in Engineering (MSE)
3. List options, or special emphases already existing under the degree major program for which
the new aggregate of courses is proposed.
Emphasis in Aerospace Engineering
4. Give the name of the department, or collection of departments, offering the aggregate of
courses.
Chemical and Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer
Engineering
5. State the aims of the proposed aggregate of courses.
Students graduating with this emphasis will obtain advanced skills in the areas of materials
processing, corrosion, physical and mechanical behavior and failure analysis. Graduates will
be able to find jobs in a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, defense,
biomedical, etc. The emphasis on the working, professional engineer will distinguish us from
most of the existing programs in the state.
6. Justify the need for the proposed aggregate of courses.
The US economy has suffered major setbacks in the area of materials processing and
manufacturing. There is a renewed attempt from the federal and state governments to
revitalize the manufacturing sector through initiatives such as the materials genome program,
the I-Corps program of the National Science Foundation, etc.
Materials engineering is the key to the realization of design ideas and to implement
processes. It is a top strategic area for the state and the nation. CPP will offer an opportunity
for engineers and science majors with diverse backgrounds a chance to supplement their
undergraduate degrees in fields such as materials, chemical, mechanical and aerospace
engineering.
Additionally, with the wave of retirements expected in key government and industrial
sectors, e.g., NASA, there is an unmet demand for engineers who understand materials
engineering in the context of processing and design.
