4. Justification for new course or course revision or renumbering:
This curriculum change is a part of a revision of the engineering program to achieve several goals: 1) more closely align content with general engineering programs; 2) adjust the timing and coverage of materials to support success in the fundamentals of engineering exam; 3) adjust the sequence of science, mathematics, and engineering courses to better integrate the content. These changes have been developed and approved by the department faculty and have been endorsed by the Engineering Advisory Board.
5. Course description exactly as it should appear in the next catalog:
2070 Materials and Processes (3) (S) 3 lecture hours per week P: CHEM 1510, 11. Study of the materials used in engineering and related manufacturing processes. Materials topics include the atomic structure of materials, alloys, phase diagrams, and heat treatment. Manufacturing processes include casting, forming, machining, and joining processes.

8. The Writing Across the Curriculum Committee must approve Writing Intensive
(WI) credit for all courses prior to their consideration by the UCC. If WI credit is

requested, has this course been approved for Writing Intensive (WI) credit?
If Yes, will all sections be Writing Intensive (yes/no)?
9. Any course requesting Foundations Curriculum credit must be reviewed by Academic Standards Committee prior to their consideration by the UCC. If FC credit has been approved by the ASC, then check the appropriate box (check at most one), otherwise leave all boxes blank.
