President's Report on Actions of the Senates Change in Name, Department of Electrical Engineering, Urbana (6) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a name change for the Department of Electrical Engineering in the College of Engineering to "Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering." This change in name will reflect more accurately the breadth of emphasis in the department. The name change recognizes the existing baccalaureate curricula in the department: Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. It is important that the breadth of the department be correctly represented to the University community and prospective faculty members and students, as well as to representatives of industry and government. Revision of the Option in General Home Economics for the Degree in Human Resources and Family Studies, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a revision of the Option in General Home Economics for the B.S. degree in Human Resources and Family Studies (HRFS), College of Agriculture. Specifically, the number of required credit hours in HRFS is increased from 28 to 45, and a core of specific HRFS courses will be implied in the degree. In addition, students will be encouraged to plan their electives in such a way that they can show a concentration of courses in a professional application area. The revised requirements provide for a minimum of 30 hours of open electives for that purpose with a corresponding increase in graduation requirements, from 120 to 126 hours, in order to accommodate that minimum in electives and the additional prescribed courses. Basic discipline requirements and other prescribed courses will remain unchanged. The proposed revision will strengthen the option and make the subject matter attainments more consistent among students who graduate from the program. Establishment of a N e w O p t i o n in Industrial Distribution Management, Department of Business Administration, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved the establishment of a new option within the Department of Business Administration in the College of Commerce and Business Administration entitled "Industrial Distribution Management." The new Option in Industrial Distribution Management consists of 63 semester hours of required and elective course work selected from courses already in existence.
