Proposal Summary
Explain the purpose for this proposal:
The purpose of this proposal is to designate the course as fulfilling the experiential learning requirement for students in the
aeronautical systems engineering area of concentration in Aeronautics. As there was no "ELR" designation under the "course
attributes" drop down box, LER was chosen to highlight the prospective change.
Explain how this proposal affects program requirements and students in your unit:
The proposal will present an opportunity for students to fulfill their ELR when they apply previously gained knowledge and
experiences to their responses to real-world design problems in this capstone course.
Explain how this proposal affects courses, program requirements and student in other units:
None
Explain how this proposal affects enrollment and staffing:
