Proposal Subject: (One sentence overview of the proposal. Examples: change in title, prerequisite and description of
NUR XYZ. Create new plan of study in XYZ department, etc.)
Revise the existing Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering to:
1. Require a minimum grade of C instead of C- in MA 16300, MA16400, MA 26100, MA 26400,
PHYS 15200, PHYS 26100, ENGR 15100, CE 27101/ME 27100, and CE/ME 27500
2. Require 2.0 Average GPA in all ECE, ME, and CE courses
Justification: (Explain the rationale for the proposed change.)
Change one will better ensure that students have sufficiently mastered material required for future courses.
Change two ensures that students have sufficiently mastered the material in their ECE, ME, and CE courses.

Please see attached Plan of Study labeled
Revised Program
Impact on Students: (Explain how students will be affected by the proposal. Benefits to students should be listed.)
By pushing the students to better learn the course material, overall performance should improve in the
follow-up courses. This would result in better student success.
Impact On Other Departments: (Explain how other academic departments may be affected by the proposal, and
summarize any discussions with other departments about the proposal. If adding or deleting a course, explain how other
departments may be affected.)
There may be a small increase in course enrollments with more students repeating a course.
Impact on University Resources: (Curriculum changes affect university resources. Explain here how instructional,
lab, computer or library resources may be affected by the proposal. It is especially important to address the possible need
for additional faculty.)
