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.
