CHICAGO CIRCLE In response to questions, in particular with regard to the change in the grade point average required for work taken at the Chicago Circle and at other institutions, consideration of this item was deferred pending clarification. DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND BIOENGINEERING, CHICAGO CIRCLE (10) T h e Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the establishment of a P h . D . degree in Information Systems and Bioengineering at the Chicago Circle campus. This is a joint proposal of the Department of Information Engineering and the Bioengineering Program, with the collaboration of key supporting faculty of the Systems Engineering Department. T h e course of study covers information engineering subjects such as circuit and control system theory, electromagnetics, communication systems, computer science, and the application of information, communication, and control theory to living systems. ( T h e traditional field of electrical engineering would be included within this program.) In addition, the program is so designed as to form a basis for an interdepartmental cooperation aimed at relating more directly to technological problems of society. Its overriding concern in this direction is stimulation of a high level of research and scholarship directed at solving problems of social relevance with emphasis on the innovative and multidisciplinary aspects. More specifically reflecting the latter emphasis would be arrangements f o r : (a) interdisciplinary study, on an advanced level, of the nature of the interface between technology and society; (b) interaction with local industry and governm e n t ; (c) application to urban problems and opportunities; and (d) training of students for engineering careers who are scholarly, public-spirited, and problemoriented. T h e Dean of the Graduate College, the Chancellor, and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in the recommendation. T h e University Senates Conference has advised that no other Senate action is required. I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved.
