1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 357 Revision of the Undergraduate Curriculum in Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Urban a The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a proposal to revise the undergraduate curriculum in Mechanical Engineering. The revision is intended to provide a more flexible curriculum while still maintaining a substantial core curriculum of required courses. The revision: (1) eliminates ME 220 (3 hours), ME 232 (2 hours), ME 304 (3 hours) and MATH 225 (2 hours) from the list of required courses; (2) increases the number of technical elective hours from 8 to 21 hours (to consist of 6 hours of core electives, 6 hours of electives in the major, 6 hours of general technical electives, and a 3-hour advanced mathematics elective); and (3) increases the total number of credit-hours required for graduation from 130 to 132 hours. Revision of the Undergraduate Curriculum in Industrial Engineering, College of Engineering, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a proposal to revise the undergraduate curriculum in Industrial Engineering. A major revision in the Industrial Engineering curriculum is required because of the rigidity and the lack of coverage of several important and emerging developments in industrial engineering theory and practice in the current curriculum. The proposed revision: (1) increases the number of technical elective hours from 9 to 17 hours; (2) replaces the six-hour IE 385-386 course sequence in Operations Research with a single four-hour course, IE 210, Introduction to Operations Research; (3) eliminates ME 209, Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer (3 hours) and IE 232, Methods-Time Analysis (3 hours) as required courses; (4) replaces IE 203, Engineering Economics (3 hours) with IE 337, Economic Foundations of Quality Systems (3 hours); (5) replaces MATH 225, Introductory Matrix Theory (2 hours) with MATH 315, Linear Transformations and Matrices (3 hours); (6) increases the total number of hours required for graduation from 130 to 132 hours; and (7) revises the course numbering system to reflect the level of the course and area of specialization within Industrial Engineering. Revision of the Undergraduate Curriculum in Nuclear Engineering, College of Engineering, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a proposal to revise the undergraduate curriculum in nuclear engineering. This revision reflects the need to provide undergraduate students with a solid background in nuclear engineering as well as the other standard degree requirements, and also to allow for sufficient flexibility at the junior and senior levels for students to prepare themselves for particular career paths. The revision: (1) increases the total number of hours required for graduation from 127 to 128 hours; (2) replaces the current 11-hour calculus sequence with a 10-hour sequence; (3) requires the new Computer Science 101-110 sequence; (4) eliminates the requirement for CHEM 102, MATH 225, GE 103 and ME 211; (5) changes the current requirement for a 300-level mathematics course to a requirement to take Mathematics 280; (6) requires TAM 235; and (7) eliminates the current requirement of NE 347 and requires several new and revised Nuclear Engineering courses. Increase in the Number of Hours Required for the Degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a proposal from the College of Veterinary Medicine to increase the number of hours required for the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
