1984] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 487 Revision of the Curriculum in Engineering Management, Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management, Chicago T h e University Center Senate has approved the following revisions in the Engineering Management curriculum: (1) addition of two industrial and systems engineering courses to the list of required courses; (2) deletion of ISE courses from the list of required courses, one of which is replaced by a management course; (3) deletion of two quantitative methods courses from the list of option required courses; (4) an increase in the total required hours from 152-153 to 156-157; and (5) a decrease in elective hours from 15-16 to 1-2. T h e changes are intended to strengthen the program by requiring of students course work which is very important for production management professionals. Revision of the Major in Industrial Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Chicago T h e University Center Senate has approved the following revisions to the Major in Industrial Engineering: (1) added two new courses to the list of required courses; (2) dropped an industrial engineering course from the list of required courses and replaced it with a management elective; (3) dropped a mechanical engineering course from the list of required courses and replaced it with a new industrial engineering course; (4) increased from 3 to 4 credit hours an industrial and systems engineering course; (5) increased the number of hours required for the major from 54 to 6 3 ; and (6) reduced the number of elective hours from 18 to 9. T h e proposed changes are intended to strengthen the program by offering new courses that are more practical and consistent with trends in the industrial engineering profession. Redesignation of the Master of Administrative Science Degree (Public Agency Administration Curriculum), Chicago The University Center Senate has approved a recommendation for the redesignation of the Master of Administrative Science degree (Public Agency Administration Curriculum) as the Master of Public Administration. With the redesignation of the Master of Administrative Science, Business Enterprise Administration track, as the Master of Business Administration (approved in 1981), the Public Agency Administration curriculum remains as the only existing specialization under the Master of Administrative Science. The proposed new title more accurately reflects the nature of the program and will eliminate the confusion which the current unconventional title creates for students, graduates, and prospective employers. T h e change in the name of the degree will conform with nationally accepted practice of awarding the Master of Public Administration (MPA) to graduates in public administration. Information from the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration, the major association for the field, indicates that the MPA is the standard degree most widely conferred by its members. Revision of Option I and Option II of the Physical Education Curriculum and the Supplement Program in Kinesiotherapy (Corrective Therapy), Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, Chicago T h e University Center Senate has approved the following revisions for Option I and Option I I majors of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Education: (1) increased by 2 hours the number of credits in the Physical Education section for each option (Option I from 26 to 28, Option II from 22 to 2 4 ) ; (2) increased the number of credit hours in the Education section by 1 hour (from 28 to 29).
