Please explain/justify the new proposal or change. 
We seek to add a credit/no-credit Senior Project as an official course. Presently, students are required to
complete a senior project for no credit. By adding this one credit-Senior Project class to the curriculum, the
faculty will have more control over the quality of the students’ final project.
