DEGREE REQUIREMENTS/OPTIONAL MINORS:

Optional Chemistry Minor UPDATEBSCHE students have always been able to earn an optional Chemistry minor fairly easily because we already require that you take the majority of the courses required for a Chemistry minor as part of the BSCHE degree and there is no problem "doubledipping" courses between your BSCHE degree and an optional minor. However, the Chemistry advisor has recently informed me that there are several preapproved substitutions for the CHEM 253L requirement for the CHEM minor. So, what does this mean? It's now even easier to earn the CHEM minor as a BSCHE student!! It has been preapproved for students to use the following courses or set of courses in place of CHEM 253L: (CHEM 311 & 312) OR CHEM 315 OR CHEM 425 OR BIOC 445 OR BIOC 423. This is great news for those of you that are working on PreMed requirements and/or are working on a concentration that already requires CHEM 311 and 312. Depending on your Technical Elective situation and your concentration, it is possible to earn the CHEM minor with just one extra credit hour (CHEM 304L)! If you're interested to see where you stand with earning a CHEM minor, send me an email or make an appointment in LoboAchieve to come in to see me! I'm the one that will add (or remove) your minor if you want to make that change. Although these subsitutions are preapproved, they are not automatically processed on your LoboTrax degree audit. You'll need to let me know if you plan to use one of the courses listed above to substitute for CHEM 253L.

CRP 181 Introduction to Environmental ProblemsDo you still need to fulfill your UNM Core: Social & Behavioral Sciences requirement? If so, you may be interested in taking the CRP 181: Intro to Environmental Problems as an online course this summer. A flyer is attached that gives more information about the section that's being offered this summer. If you have any questions about the course, please contact the instructor directly: Dr. Joni Palmer ([email protected]). If you're not sure if you still need to take a UNM Core: Social & Behavioral

15th GLOBAL STUDENT FORUM (GSF) Organized by the Student Platform for Engineering Education (SPEED), GSF draws academicians, representatives from government bodies, industry & non-profit organizations, and an increasing number of students from all around the world to discuss issues pertinent to the Engineering Education system.

1st GLOBAL CAREER FAIR (GCF) An opportunity for employers and institutions of higher education to access engineering students from around the world and participate in face-to-face and virtual interviews.

WEEF-GEDC 2018 also features a Global Entrepreneurship Challenge, an Innovation Pavilion, and a Technology Showcase.

ABOUT THE THEME

PEACE ENGINEERING

The application of science and engineering principles to promote

and support peace. Peace engineering envisions and

works towards a world where prosperity, sustainability, social

equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice

and engagement, and a culture of quality thrive. Engineers have the

power to play a vital role delivering creative solutions that

can radically transform and improve human and natural

wellbeing.

We invite you to be an integral part of WEEF-GEDC, Nov. 12 – 16, 2018 Attend, present and/or sponsor to meet engineering educators, academic, industry and government leaders, students, national laboratories, governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, multilateral organizations and

funding agencies from around the world.

The call for Workshops closes April 30, 2018. The call for abstracts closes May 25, 2018.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTSWEEF-GEDC-2018 - Albuquerque, NM USAhttp://weef-gedc2018.org

The University of New Mexico School of Engineering, in conjunction with the Ibero-American Science and Technology Education Consortium (ISTEC) and the Global Innovation Network for Entrepreneurship and Technology (GINET), will host the combined WEEF-GEDC 2018 event to be held 12-16 November 2018 in Albuquerque, NM. This prestigious event, held for the first time in the United States, is the joint annual summit of the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) and the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC). Also featured are the XV Global Student Forum and the first ever Global Career Fair.

The theme of the 2018 conference is Peace Engineering. Peace engineering envisions and works towards a world where prosperity, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice and engagement, and a culture of quality thrive. Engineers have the power to play a vital role in delivering creative solutions that can radically transform and improve human and natural wellbeing. As we educate future engineers, we must ensure that they embrace their role as engineers of peace. We must provide them with the skills, understanding, capacity for reflection, sense of social responsibility and ethics, and resources to successfully navigate the socio-political impacts of their projects, engage in transdisciplinary developments, and frankly, imagine, design, and create a better world for us all.

The conference features several highlights, such as In-Conversation and a Leaders Summit, which are exclusive, high-level plenary sessions that gather the world’s top leaders from public and private sectors, international organizations, and think-tanks to discuss global issues and develop impactful solutions that are sustainable socially, environmentally and economically.

We hope that you will accept our invitation to be part of the WEEF-GEDC 2018 event this coming November 2018. We are providing you the opportunity to submit an abstract for consideration in one of the thematic focus areas listed below. We strongly encourage case studies with practical applications and demonstrable results.

Please submit your proposal via the online portal at weef-gedc2018.org. Specify the Peace Engineering theme to be addressed, along with a 200-word abstract and a 50 word statement describing how this work addresses societal or community wellbeing, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community engagement, and/or the culture of quality. These statements will be used to attract additional participants and will be published on the website. Authors should indicate whether the paper is submitted for a poster session or an oral presentation. Reviewers may move submissions to the appropriate presentation format (poster or oral). The recommended outline for the paper and presentation will be provided upon acceptance. All titles, abstracts and presentations must be in English. Papers may be submitted in English or Spanish.

All accepted papers that are presented during WEEF-GEDC 2018 will be published in the WEEF-GEDC 2018 Proceedings and submitted for indexing in SCOPUS*. Best papers may also be selected for inclusion in a special publication.

*Note: To be considered for publication, at least one author must register and pay for the full conference by August 30, 2018.
