3.1. Proposal to Offer BA (Psychology) in Collaboration with UNBCollege Singapore (circulated with agenda)

Jim Murray, Dean of Arts, and Sandra Byers, Chair of Psychology,presented the proposal to offer the Bachelor of Arts with a Major inPsychology degree program in collaboration with UNB College Singapore. J. Murray confirmed that the program is comprised of courses already beingoffered at UNB Fredericton. He explained that the Stansfield Group andSingapore Institute of Commerce had approached the Faculty of Arts, via theFaculty of Business Administration, regarding the possibility of offering theBA (Psychology) program in a manner analogous with other programsalready offered at UNB College Singapore. He indicated that the Registrarhad been asked to review the proposal and provide advice and that, in theshort term, the Faculty of Business Administration has agreed to allow theFaculty of Arts to use its existing administrative structure while the programis ramping up. After two years, the BA (Psychology) program in Singaporewill be reviewed and consideration given to putting someone in place toprovide administrative support for the Arts program. He noted that, as earlyas this fall, there will be students who have completed the first two years ofcourses with the partner institution and who would be ready to enter theUNB program.

D. Hinton confirmed that, while working with a partner always haschallenges, fitting into the existing model for the BBA offered at UNBCollege Singapore will facilitate administration for the BA (Psychology).

In response to questions, S. Byers explained that the program Arts isplanning to offer will be the Major in Psychology. A number of Psychologygraduate students who have been trained to teach have expressed interest ingoing to Singapore to assist with delivery of the program.

When asked about instruction for Arts elective courses, J. Murrayindicated that all courses would be taught face-to-face. He explained thatsome would be taught by instructors from UNB, while others would betaught by local instructors in Singapore with the guidance of a UNB mentor. As has been done by the Faculty of Business Administration, Arts is hopingto develop a pool of local instructors. The course outline used in Singaporewill be the same as that used at UNB and the mentor will review theexaminations for the students in Singapore.

3.1. Proposal to Offer BA (Psychology) in Collaboration with UNBCollege Singapore (cont’d)

When asked about library resources for the program, J. Murray notedthat the collection of schools in Singapore are affiliated with a number ofuniversities which offer other Humanities programs in Singapore. Studentswill have access to these library resources. In addition, S. Byers noted thatmost students will use on-line journals which are available through UNB.

G. Kealey asked why UNB would offer Arts electives if the groupalready has agreements with other institutions to offer humanities courses. J.Murray explained that there are four sites for the collection of collegesinvolved in the group. At this time, Business Administration is the onlyprogram offered at UNB College Singapore.

4.1. Proposal to Offer the BISys in Collaboration with UNB CollegeSingapore (circulated with agenda)

The Committee reviewed the proposal to offer the Bachelor ofInformation Systems (BISys) in collaboration with UNB College Singapore. It was noted that the Faculty has an existing agreement to offer the Bachelorof Computer Science program with another partner in Singapore, Fei YangInternational Technology, Singapore (FYITS). The intention is to executethe exit agreement on the existing partnership if no students have registeredin the program by October 2009. Although the existing agreement withFYITS does not have an exclusivity clause, members of the Committeeindicated that the previous agreement should be brought to a close beforethis new agreement is made active to avoid possible damage to the UNB

4.1. Proposal to Offer the BISys in Collaboration with UNB CollegeSingapore (cont’d)

The Committee reviewed the program structure as outlined on page 5of the proposal. It was noted that students would transfer into the BISysprogram after their first year of study. The proposal calls for many of thecourses taken in the second, third and fourth year to be monitored ordelivered by the Faculty of Computer Science. Some concerns were notedregarding administration of the non-Computer Science and non-InformationSystems courses to be offered in the upper years. The proposal indicatesthese courses will be offered by UNB College Singapore, however; some areUNB courses offered at the site. It is not clear how these courses will appearon the student transcript.

MOTION 4, 1 Kealey/Kubien “That the Committee recommend toSenate approval of the proposal to offer the Bachelor ofInformation Systems degree in collaboration with UNBCollege Singapore, as recommended by the Faculty ofComputer Science, subject to the termination of theexisting agreement with Fei Yang InternationalTechnology, Singapore to offer the Bachelor of ComputerScience.”

Academic Planning Committee 23 June 2009 Agenda Item # 3.1

2. Overall structure and duration of the program (provide justification)

The Bachelor of Electrical and Computer Engineering degree is a five year program that includes a first year of primarily pre-engineering courses. The first three years of the program (designated as Year-0, Year-1 and Year-2) consist of existing courses delivered by AEYA and augmented with three additional UNB courses.

The final two years consist of courses identical to the final two years of the UNB Electrical Engineering degree program, with specialization in electronics and communication. Courses in the final two years will be delivered by UNB Faculty or designates approved by UNB. UNB will monitor the delivery of the courses in Year-2 to ensure students are adequately prepared for the UNB courses delivered in Year-3 and Year-4. Course monitoring will consist of i) overseeing and approving curricula and textbooks, ii) reviewing and approving exam papers and iii) reviewing grading of exams and final course grades.

In total the five year program will consist of 67 courses including a broad coverage of mathematics, basic science, humanities and complementary studies, engineering science and engineering design, similar to the BScE program in EE. The program adheres to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board’s definition of a substantially equivalent engineering degree program. A substantially equivalent program is one which satisfies the CEAB curriculum requirements but does not satisfy the requirement that all engineering science and engineering design courses be delivered by professional engineers registered in Canada. UNB ECE will work with the Academy, providing guidance and documentation, to help ensure that the BECE program will be designed to be substantially equivalent to the existing accredited UNB Electrical Engineering degree program.

Students will have the option of switching back to the AEYA degree program, under terms and conditions set jointly by UNB and AEYA. They will also be allowed to finish their program at UNBF, if they meet UNB requirements for transfer.

3. Anticipated student outcomes and their relevance

• Students will develop strong analytical and critical thinking skills throughout the program that will culminate in a capstone design project.

• Students will develop good English language communication skills.• Students will have a sound knowledge of the field of electronics and

communications engineering and the capability to apply this knowledge.• Students will have the opportunity to acquire the background necessary to pursue

graduate studies and research in a field of applied science and other related fields.• Students will be adequately prepared to enter the work force as professional

engineers. An important aspect of the program is that the credential will be substantially equivalent to an engineering degree program that is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).

• Students will also fulfill the requirements of the Supreme Council of Egyptian Universities, the country's highest education authority.

• The program will create an awareness of professional ethics and social responsibility and the value of a professional code of conduct.

• Courses with team-based projects will help to develop personal interaction skills and the opportunity to develop leadership skills.

4. Admission requirements - standards to join Year-0 of the joint program

• 2 years of High School English• 2 years of High School Chemistry• 2 years of High School Physics• 2 years of Advanced math, trigonometry and calculus• Minimum admission grade of 75%• Students must achieve a score of at least 550 TOEFL

Each student will be required to take four technical elective courses from (but not limited to) the list above. All courses above have their prerequisites satisfied by the core courses of this curriculum (Table 5 a)). Elective courses EE xxxx delivered each term will be selected by UNB ECE, based on availability of instructors/designates, with little or no choice given to students.

6. Other special requirements such as thesis, practicum, internship, etc

None.

7. Method of program delivery; e.g., traditional classroom, distance education, cooperative education, or a combination.

• All required courses will de delivered using a traditional classroom approach.• The capstone project course will be done in teams.• Most courses will have a lab, with a hands-on component, modelled on UNB labs

in content and delivery.• AEYA courses core to this program will be monitored by UNB ECE faculty,

wherein 10 AEYA courses in Terms 5 and 6 will be selected for monitoring of content, text, examinations, home work, laboratory work, and marking.

8 Exit Strategy

We recognize the need for a fair and honourable exit plan should the program need to be terminated in the first few years, due to unsustainable enrolments, difficult or impossible logistics (e.g., course monitoring) or any other impediment(s) to the delivery of a program of acceptable standards.

• If it is determined that the program should be terminated during or at the end of the first year, 2009-10, we will refund half of the students' fees, and they will return to the AEYA program with no loss of standing.

• If it is determined that the program should be terminated during or at the end of the second year, 2010-11, we will refund half of the students' fees for the second year only, and they will return to the AEYA program with no loss of standing.

• If it is determined that the program should be terminated during or at the end of the third year, 2011-12, we will refund half of the students' fees for the third year only, and they will return to the AEYA program with no loss of standing.

• If it is determined that the program should be terminated during or at the end of the fourth year, 2012-13, we will refund half of the students' fees for the fourth year only, and they will return to the AEYA program with no loss of standing.

• If it is determined that the program should be terminated at the end of the fifth year, 2013-14, we will grant successful Year-4 students the stipulated UNB degree and refund half of the Year-0 – Year-3 students' fees for the fifth year only, and they will return to the AEYA program with no loss of standing.

We believe that the possibility of termination will decrease quickly as the program gains recognition and difficulties are worked out; an exit strategy beyond the above five years seems unnecessary.

III. HUMAN AND PHYSICAL RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

1. Utilization of existing resources in the first five years of the new program:

All of the courses are either i) existing courses delivered by Akhbar Elyom Academy or ii) existing UNB courses (except for CS 1009 in Year-0), also delivered at AEYA.

The program will be limited to 100 students in each cohort. During start-up a minimum of 70 new students per year will be necessary to start and sustain the program. UNB courses will be delivered by existing UNB Faculty, new instructors hired by AEYA (but selected by UNB) for this program, or UNB designates. Stipends will be used to pay UNB designates and to make up the teaching requirements at UNBF when UNBF faculty deliver courses at Akhbar Elyom Academy.

a) Academic staff - one or two UNB ECE faculty member(s) (working or retired) teaching in Egypt each year; up to 10 UNB ECE faculty members monitoring courses given at AEYA (some UNB ECE faculty members may monitor more than one course; a monitoring stipend of $1,000 will be given for each course monitored)

b) Support staff – part-time secretary, UNB ECE

c) Library – no existing UNB physical or staff resources (AEYA-supplied); access to UNB electronic media will not be provided.

d) Space (classrooms, offices, laboratory) – no existing UNB resources

e) Equipment – no existing UNB resources

f) Other – not applicable

2. Additional resource requirements during first five years:

a) Academic staff – we propose to hire four Egyptian professors (through AEYA but selected by UNB ECE), starting in 2012-13 (the first year UNB delivers our Year-3 courses); a small number of courses will be delivered by designates (stipend instructors), also to be hired in Egypt – specifically, we will need zero designates in years 2009-10 through 2011-12, five designates in 2012-13, ten designates in 2013-14, four designates in 2014-15, then one designate per year thereafter. We propose to have AEYA hire “Egyptian Adjunct Professors” on term appointments at an attractive salary (in Egyptian terms), to ensure that teaching meets our requirements and to demonstrate to the students that this is in fact a Canadian program. We will also set up a rotation scheme when the fourth professor is hired, so one Egyptian Adjunct Professor will be a visiting scholar in ECE for two terms (Winter-Summer or Summer-Fall) after each three and a half years of service at AEYA. This will help instill UNB values in our professors, give them a sense of ownership, and give the ECE faculty some relief to compensate for course monitoring and course delivery at AEYA.

b) Support Staff – 1 UNB Program Coordinator (who will also deliver courses at AEYA) and 1 Lab Administrator / Technician at AEYA, half-time

c) Library – UNB course textbooks, on reserve at AEYA, to be purchased from the program revenue stream; AEYA Year-2 course textbooks, on reserve at UNB ECE for course monitoring, to be purchased from the revenue stream

d) Space (classroom, office, laboratory) – none (all classroom, laboratory and faculty office space for this program will use existing space at AEYA)

e) Equipment – Laboratory setups will be supplied by AEYA.

f) Other - none

3. Impact on other programs (including elimination or reduction in scope) due to the use of these resources (as described in Sections III.1, 2 above) for this program.

No impact is expected on existing programs at UNB.

4. Estimate of resource needs and allocation beyond first five years of the new program.

• No additional teaching resources (professor hiring) will be required beyond the first five years; specifically, we plan to hire professors in 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 at which time the program will have four dedicated professors. Enrolment in the Electronics and Communications Engineering degree program will be limited to 80 students in UNB Year-3 and UNB Year-4, so unless we raise the enrolment limits (requiring multiple sections per course) we do not anticipate needing more than these four professors and one designate hired on a term-by-term basis. These professors will be paid by AEYA.

• There is a requirement to renew office equipment on a periodic basis; we have budgeted for continuing to replace office equipment at $2,000 per year.

IV. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

1. Projection of the incremental costs for the program for its first five years:

2. Proposed cost recovery/revenue strategy (as per UNB policy)

A substantial investment in start-up funding has already been made, by the UNB VP Academic ($30,000), ACOA ($102,375) and UNB Faculty of Engineering ($100,000); the starting enrolment target for 2009-10 (80 students minimum) will result in breaking even for the first two years and positive cash flow thereafter, viz. $35,200 (2011-12), $128,090 (2012-13), $179,350 (2013-14), and approaching $270,000 in steady-state.

3. Expectations in terms of additional capital or operating funding.

No additional funding should be required.

V. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROGRAMS AND INSTITUTIONS

1. Relationship to existing programs at the University of New Brunswick

The proposed degree program is substantially equivalent to the UNBF Electrical Engineering degree program. By design, the proposed program will not compete or conflict with the existing UNBF Electrical Engineering degree program.

2. Similar programs offered at other Maritime post-secondary institutions, the differences between these programs and the proposed program, and the rational for the introduction of an additional program if a similar one is offered in the region.

There are accredited Electrical Engineering degree programs delivered at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Dalhousie University. Neither school delivers an offshore degree program. The proposed program will not compete or conflict with the existing Electrical Engineering degree programs in the Maritimes.

3. Similar programs offered at other Canadian post-secondary institutions outside the Maritimes and the differences between these programs and the proposed program.

We believe that Ottawa University and McMaster University are discussing the delivery of

engineering degree programs in Egypt; we are not privy to the details.

4. Collaboration possibilities with other institutions in the region or elsewhere in Canada in the delivery of the program, and steps taken to that effect.

Both Ain Shams University (ASU) and the Future University in Egypt (FUE) have expressed interest in joint engineering degree programs with Egypt; we are currently in discussions with ASU (they do not compete with AEYA for student enrolment) but have discussions with FUE on hold.

5. Evidence of consultation with post-secondary institutions noted above.

Not applicable

VI. NEED FOR THE PROGRAM 1. Evidence of regional (Maritime) need Not applicable 2. Evidence of national need Not applicable 3. Evidence of student demand Informal market studies were conducted, both at AEYA (April, 2006) and in Cairo generally (an UNB/AEYA open-house, March, 2007) – a sufficient number of Egyptian students expressed strong interest in joining such a program, even after being provided with fee information that was substantially higher than that in the current agreement. The strong interest of AEYA, ASU and FUE are a good indicator of good demand. 4. Priority within UNB ’s program structure and development. Relationship to

Faculty plans and objectives. The ECE Department is vitally interested in this initiative, to achieve:

• Internationalization of the UNB ECE curriculum,• A new, significant revenue stream,• A new source for recruiting qualified graduate students to UNB Fredericton,• A new source for recruiting undergraduate students to UNB Fredericton,• Potential for attracting highly qualified personnel to New Brunswick.

program proposal. Each internal and external expert should be identified and their written assessment or comments on the proposed program appended to the proposal.

Dr. David Coleman and Dr. James Taylor have been working on this project on a sustained basis since January 2005, when a preliminary plan and a grant application to ACOA were developed. The ACOA grant plus UNB funding covered development activities up to May, 2009. In the process, we met with the VP Academic (Dr. Angelo Belcastro, then Dr. Anthony Secco), the VP of Finance & Corporate services (Mr. Daniel Murray), the Registrar (Mr. David Hinton), Resource Planning and Budgeting (Mr. Tim Walker), Business Administration (Dr. Dan Coleman, Mssrs. Misra Devashis and Assad David, International Program Office), and the International Relations Office (Mr. Ted Robak). There were four official visits to Egypt by Dr. David Coleman and Dr. James Taylor in that period, and one official visit by Dr. Chris Diduch and Dr. James Taylor in March 2009; also, one course was delivered at AYEA by Dr. James Taylor, Winter 2006. Finally, the proposed progran has been discussed in ECE meetings a number of times, most recently 10 April 2009, and each time the department decided, in principle, to proceed with development. They are satisfied with the financial plan (as contained in this proposal), and a large majority of ECE faculty are willing to take their turn teaching in Egypt (one faculty member per year, to teach one or two courses in one term). It has also been discussed in Engineering Faculty Council several times, most recently 25 May 2009 when conditional approval was passed; conditions are met in this proposal.

A preliminary program proposal was submitted to Academic Planning in April 2007, and it was discussed by them and passed on for Senate deliberation on 2 May 2007. The proposal was then presented to the Senate on 15 May, and a motion allowing us to proceed was passed.

A draft agreement has been submitted to the AEYA President and Board, and we have received notice that they desire to proceed in the Fall 2009 term. Based on this, our program has been scrupulously developed, thoroughly vetted and ready for implementation. We note in closing that the program has been delayed by several years, due to a number of changes in AEYA personnel, including President and the Department Chair. Drs. Diduch and Taylor made a visit to AEYA in March 2009, to ensure that the new personnel are fully briefed and supportive; we believe they are.

2. Description of any accreditation requirements; when and how program will achieve accreditation.

The program will be accredited by the Supreme Council of Egyptian Universities, upon application by AEYA.

UNB will apply to have the program judged to be substantially equivalent to the accredited UNB EE degree program by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).

X. ENROLMENT AND TUITION REVENUE 1. Proposed tuition fees in the initial years of program operation: Program fee $950 per student for each of the 5 program years This fee is based on informal market study, including consideration of fees by other international-based institutions (American University Cairo, British University in Egypt, German University in Cairo and the Arab Academy for Science and Tech. & Maritime Transport) and negotiation with AEYA. In Egyptian pounds (LE) our fee is specifically 4,900 LE at the current rate (1 LE = CAD 0.19) which, when added to AEYA's fees is competitive.

2. Refer back to Section VI.5 a) regarding anticipated enrolment. Describe the basis for the enrolment estimates, including attrition assumptions.

Our enrolment assumptions and attrition rates are based on detailed discussions with ourcounterparts at AEYA and double-checked by Dr. Taylor with colleagues at Cairo University and Ain Shams University who know the market well. In fact, the professor at ASU said ``the 25 number is so humble expectation. You have about 200,000 high school graduates!'' The attrition rates were also discussed and, we were told that in their experience student losses are generally balanced by students transferring in. 3. Estimated annual tuition revenue
