Designation of Civil Engineering Concentration, Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Chicago Circle (6) T h e Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the designation of a civil engineering area of concentration for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. The new designation is accomplished by minor changes in the requirements for an existing program and a redesignation of that program (structural engineering and materials area of concentration) as civil engineering. The specialization in civil engineering is not a new offering of the college, but a "reasonable and moderate extension" of an existing program. The new designation is in keeping with a recommendation made by the official accreditation body in engineering. T h e retitling is a change toward traditional nomenclature used in the engineering field. No additional resources are required by the new designation. T h e chancellor at Chicago Circle and the vice president for academic affairs have recommended approval. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. This change will be reported to the Illinois Board of Higher Education as a "reasonable and moderate extension" of an existing program. I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved.

Designation of Mechanical Engineering Concentration, Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Chicago Circle (7) The Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the designation of a mechanical engineering area of concentration for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. The new designation is a combination of three existing options which are currently offered within the college: (a) fluids engineering, (b) mechanical analysis and design, and (c) thermo-mechanical engineering and energy conversion. These three options will become options in the mechanical engineering area of concentration. Each of the options will be somewhat revised. The primary revisions change some of the courses required in each option In all cases, the number of hours required is increased by a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 quarter hours. T h e redesignation and revisions correspond to those recommended by the official accreditation body in engineering. The retitling is a change toward traditional nomenclature used in the engineering field. No additional resources are required by the new designation. The chancellor at Chicago Circle and the vice president for academic affairs have recommended approval. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. This change will be reported to the Illinois Board of Higher Education as a "reasonable and moderate extension" of existing programs. I recommend approval.
