Course Code/Title Credit Format ECOL 505 ECOL 505: Foundations of Ecology 32 FACE-TO-FACE Reason for Request:

To enable inclusion of additional and more in-depth lecture content and permit the addition of recitation/discussion sections that have reasonable numbers of students (<20) so that the student experience can be enhanced. Breadth of content and specific topics will not change. But the depth of material covered will increase as will the time for student discussion of topics.

INST 301 INST 301: Global Commodities Across the Disciplines 3 FACE-TO-FACE AUCC 4B Reason for Request:

This course builds on the content and methodology of INST 200 and prepares students for the Capstone Seminar and Senior Thesis requirement while enriching students’ knowledge of key issues within the field of International Studies.

OLD BUSINESS

University Curriculum Committee Agenda February 12, 2016 Page 2 IU 172 IU 172: New Student Seminar 1 FACE-TO-FACE Reason for Request:

This course is a traditional first-year academic course and students will be expected to perform accordingly, while they are learning about what is expected of them in college level courses. Additionally, it is not advisable for first-year students to take pass/fail courses.

NRRT 401 NRRT 401: Collaborative Conservation 3 FACE-TO-FACE/

ONLINE

Reason for Request:

Both professional conservationists outside of CSU and students across campus have requested an on-line course in collaborative conservation. Practitioners from state and federal agencies and non-profit organizations are seeking skills in collaborative conservation, and an on-line course allows them to gain these skills while working around their own schedules. This accessibility also creates a diverse audience of practitioners and students which is crucial for enriching class discussions and involving various world views on collaborative conservation. The graduate level collaborative conservation class (NR543B) is only offered to students enrolled in the M.S. Conservation Leadership Through Learning program. The online version of this course will provide the crucial space and capacity for both undergraduate and graduate students from within HDNR and in other departments, who cannot enroll in the face-to-face class, to learn about the principles of collaborative conservation.

College of Agricultural Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Animal Sciences Major in Animal Science Link to CIM Reason for Request:

CSU Animal Science graduates entering careers in technical fields currently are at a competitive disadvantage because our curriculum lacks the scientific rigor of similar programs at several other universities. The proposed change adds a “Science Electives” category, which would require 2 courses (chosen from organic/analytical chemistry, biochemistry, metabolism, or microbiology/food safety). To accommodate this change, the “Business Electives” category would be reduced from 15 credits to 9 credits. In addition, the proposed program replaces AGRI 192/292 with ANEQ 293 (Animal Sciences Career Preparation Seminar) and modifies the Applied, Experience, and Advanced Elective course lists to facilitate more focused use of elective credits. STAT 201 is added so the statistics course requirement is consistent with the prerequisite for ANEQ 330.

A maximum of five credits is allowed for the following: ANEQ 352, ANEQ 353, ANEQ 354, ANEQ 355, ANEQ 356, ANEQ 357, ANEQ 361, ANEQ 362, ANEQ 363, and ANEQ 364. A maximum of 12 credits is allowed for any combination of the following: ANEQ 352, ANEQ 353, ANEQ 354, ANEQ 355, ANEQ 356, ANEQ 357, ANEQ 361, ANEQ 362, ANEQ 363, ANEQ 364, ANEQ 384, ANEQ 487A, ANEQ 495, and ANEQ 496. A minimum grade of ‘C’ (2.0) is required for each of the ANEQ courses which are required to complete the major. FRESHMAN

University Curriculum Committee Agenda February 12, 2016 Page 9 5 4 Students with specific career goals are strongly encouraged to consult with their advisor regarding selection of

elective credits. Select enough elective credits to bring the program total to a minimum of 120 credits with a minimum of 42 upper-division credits, of which at least 42 must be upper-division (300- to 400-level).

College of Agricultural Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Animal Sciences Undergraduate Certificate in Animal Nutrition Link to CIM Reason for Request:

The Program of Study for the BS degree in Animal Science is being modified to provide majors with greater flexibility in use of upper division electives, allowing them to prepare for career paths that require specialized knowledge in particular disciplines of Animal Science or other related areas of study. Two new elective categories (Science Electives and Advanced Electives) have been created and the new program is designed to interface with a series of undergraduate certificates that will guide students in selective use of upper division elective credits. The proposed Animal Nutrition Certificate allows students to gain in-depth knowledge of principles of feeding and nutritional management of animals.

College of Engineering Effective Fall 2016 Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering Practice Link to CIM Reason for Request:

For those students who do not wish to pursue a degree, it is in the student's best interest to have these courses transcript-ed as an official certificate. This potentially untapped population increases CSU's market of students; while maintaining an appropriate rigor and quality in the educational program. Officially recognizing these 4 courses as a "Systems Engineering Certificate" lends greater credibility to the student who only needs/wants to learn the basic tools of Systems Engineering and strengthens CSU's credibility outside academia. CSU's certificates are held to a rigorous standard and this is evidenced by the criteria required to be admitted into the program and the standards held to officially complete a certificate here at CSU.

College of Engineering Effective Fall 2016 Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Major in Electrical Engineering, Lasers and Optical Engineering Concentration Link to CIM Reason for Request:

The request is to increase all undergraduate programs in ECE to 129 credits. This requirement will not be a disincentive for students to enroll in our program, and will not place an additional burden on existing students. In addition, all other engineering programs at CSU are 129 or 130 credits. There are a number of advantages to students including; 1) Allowing the application of coursework when a student changes their major to Electrical and Computer Engineering. For example, students who come to ECE from the Undeclared Engineering program take a 100-level Grand Challenges course. Currently, those credits do not count toward the ECE degree. With these additional free elective credits available students may choose to apply the Grand Challenges course to those credits; 2) Many students start the program with AP credits. which they can now apply for credit toward the degree; 3) Similarly, transfer students may have courses that do not directly apply toward required ECE courses, so they can transfer credits to the free elective credits which

University Curriculum Committee Agenda February 12, 2016 Page 11

recognizes the value of the transfer credit; 4) Students can now take an additional course outside the department if they wish, to satisfy an interest area (e.g. music). This will allow us to encourage students to explore interests outside ECE, creating more well-rounded engineers; and 5) Student can apply prerequisites for Technical and Science/Math/Engineering electives to the major which increases their likelihood to take courses outside of the general curriculum. There are also a number of advantages to the ECE curriculum and engineering education. Based on the finding in the Engineering 2020 project conducted by the National Academy of Engineering Committee on Engineering Education in 2004. "It is appropriate that engineers are educated to understand and appreciate history, philosophy, culture and the arts, along with the creative elements of all of the disciplines. This supports the case to make appropriately designed engineering curriculum that offers education that is more well-rounded." In addition, this curricular addition helps shape the curriculum for 2020 to be responsive to disparate learning styles of different populations and attractive for all those seeking a full and well-rounded education." Although the AUCC requirements provide 12-15 credits in arts, humanities, behavioral and social sciences, courses in art, geography, music, speech and theaters can be used only with prior approval of the advisor and they must be chosen in a way to also meet the All-University Core Curriculum requirements. This places a significant limitation for students to take courses that do not meet the AUCC requirements but do contribute to a well-rounded educational experience. This provides an opportunity to promote the value of curiosity and a lifelong desire to learn. Finally, this provides further multidisciplinary education within and beyond engineering. It expands the curriculum well beyond regular engineering coursework in science, math, engineering fundamentals, analytical and design skills, and problem solving skills.

College of Natural Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Statistics Graduate Certificate in Modern Statistical Methods Link to CIM Reason for Request:

This certificate was previously offered as a Certificate of Completion. This certificate of completion and the Data Analysis certificate of completion had been one credential, but were recently broken into two. 122 certificates of completion have been awarded in the past five years for the combined and separate credentials, so there is high interest. This certificate will allow the department to serve the needs of adult education professionals in numerous disciplines.

Distinctive Requirements for Certificate: GSLL 3095 and GSLL 3096 (or STAT 500) are required skills courses and should be taken first. GSLL 3095 is intended not only as a review, but also as instruction in using the math skills in a statistical context. It does not replace the math prerequisites indicated. GSLL 3096 covers use of SAS and R programming. STAT 500 is a 1-credit version of GSLL 3096. Additional coursework may be required due to prerequisites. Code Title Credits

College of Natural Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Computer Science BS in Applied Computing Technology, Computing Education Concentration Link to CIM Reason for Request:

The CS department has made substantial improvements in the first three courses in the computer science sequence, replacing, in particular, CS160, CS161, and CS200 with three new courses, CS163/164, CS165, CS220. The goal of these changes is to present students with a sustained intensive programming experience while undergoing mathematics preparation for more theoretical courses. Presently, this theoretical content is mixed with programming instruction throughout the first three courses. It has been found that students are mathematically unprepared for this material this early in the program, and find the courses difficult with continual context switches between programming and theory within each course. This request also shores up the math requirement for this program, allowing only MATH160 as a required math course. MATH141 has been found to be inadequate preparation for more advanced CS classes, in particular, the theoretical aspects of computer science.

College of Natural Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Physics Major in Physics, Applied Physics Concentration Link to CIM Reason for Request:

Department lists were never approved through the curriculum process, so the main purpose of this request is to bring longstanding practice as encoded in DARS and our department checksheets (which are not entirely consistent!) into the light. Some minor changes are made to account for the existence of a new course, Analytical Techniques for Physics.

Intra-University Effective Spring 2016 Interdisciplinary Minor in Sports Management Link to CIM Reason for Request:

The fields surrounding sports management represent a large and growing opportunity for students in careers from public relations and events planning to facilities management and social science research. This minor will provide students with an overview of the skill sets and challenges surrounding the sports industry, which is currently lacking in the curriculum at Colorado State University, including leadership, planning and critical analysis. While many of the courses involved already exist, there is no curricular product to guide students through the complement needed to explore the field of sports management.

New Courses Course Code/Title Credit Format College of Health and Human Sciences HES 303 HES 303: Biomechanics and Neurophysiology 3 Face-to-face Reason for Request:

Based on a departmental curriculum committee evaluation of the Health Promotion Concentration within the HES degree, it was determined that these students would benefit with the biomechanics and neurophysiology proposed within this new course. This material does not exist within any other of their required courses. Credit hours within the concentration would not allow them to take the stand alone HES 307 and HES 319 courses on these topics and still stay within the 120 required credits. It was also determined that Health Promotion Concentration students do not need a full course on each topic.

HES 354 HES 354: Theory of Health Behavior 3 Face-to-face Reason for Request:

HES is extending and enhancing both Health Promotion and Exercise Science Concentrations. The Theory of Health Behavior course will provide a firm theoretical foundation in topics that are relevant for health and wellness at both individual and population levels. Having an understanding of the objectives of these courses and mastering knowledge and skills in applying the theories will allow students to be more successful at learning, serving, and creating health promotion programs aiming to

Online AUCC 4A

Reason for Request:

HDFS 334, Families and Parenthood Across the Life Cycle, has been designated as AUCC 4A since 2000. However, through our recent curriculum mapping process, we determined that this course, HDFS 350 (effective 2011), would be more appropriate for the AUCC 4A designation. We have revised the Assessment Components to more accurately reflect the AUCC 4A requirements of writing, speaking, and problem solving. In addition, we are submitting course content and learning objectives that were approved on paper forms during spring 2015 but did not transfer to the new electronic system. No changes have been made to content or learning objectives. Proposed AUCC 4A course for the following programs: Major in Early Childhood Education Major in Human Development and Family Studies, Early Childhood Professions Concentration Major in Human Development and Family Studies, Human Development and Family Studies Concentration Major in Human Development and Family Studies, Leadership and Entrepreneurial Professions Concentration Major in Human Development and Family Studies, Pre-Health Professions Concentration Major in Human Development and Family Studies, Prevention and Intervention Sciences Concentration

However, through our recent curriculum mapping process, we determined that HDFS 434 (a mastery level course that will be effective fall 2016), would be more appropriate for the AUCC 4B designation. We have also made minor changes to the course content to more accurately reflect the lifespan focus of this course: We reworded the content of Weeks 13, 14, and 15 and moved Weeks 12 and 13 earlier in the weekly schedule.

New Concentration in an Undergraduate Program College of Natural Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Psychology Major in Psychology, Clinical/Counseling Psychology Concentration Link to CIM Reason for Request:

Psychology now has over 1000 undergraduate majors, and the majority of majors indicate that their primary interests pertain to mental health and well being--working with, supervising, helping, counseling, or treating others. Among those students who wish to pursue a graduate degree, Clinical and Counseling Psychology are the most popular options. Thus, since the inception of undergraduate concentrations here at CSU, there has been high demand for a concentration that focuses on clinical/counseling psychology. The current proposal seeks to meet that demand, and resources in the Department will be adjusted to accommodate the teaching requirements, advising, and supervision that is necessary. The proposed concentration requires that students complete a set of four core courses in clinical/counseling, plus an internship experience, on top of the requirements of the General Psychology Concentration. The four core courses are already offered by the Department, but would be offered more frequently and/or with more sections. A faculty member (previous Director of the Counseling Center) would work in conjunction with an Academic Support Coordinator in helping students to secure the required internship.

Students must have a C or better in each of the following: PSY 100; PSY 210; PSY 250; PSY 252; PSY 330; and the three lecture-lab pairings in psychology. FRESHMAN

Warner College of Natural Resources Effective Fall 2016 Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability Master of Greenhouse Gas Management and Accounting, Plan C Link to CIM Reason for Request:

Two program changes are requested, with the related ESS 542 course changes submitted separately under CIM-Courses. The program changes are: ESS 542 - increased to 2 credits ESS 692 - deleted from the program requirements. ESS 542 was first taught in SP15 as a 1 credit course, and it was clear the topics covered in the course warranted more time for exploration than was allotted for a 1 credit format. Hosting guest lecturers from industry, government, and nonprofits, for example, presented practical knowledge and experience with policies; however, the 1 credit format left little room for discussion of policies and opportunity for in-depth exploration. The 2 credit format will allow for more in-depth discussion and active student participation. ESS 692 is less essential to the MGMA curriculum and is being deleted to allow for requested changes to keep the total program credits at 37 for MGMA

College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences Ph.D. in Toxicology Link to CIM Reason for Request:

Making the Toxicology Research Seminar (ERHS 693C) part of the core will ensure that students have at least one research seminar experience directed by a Toxicology Program faculty member. The faculty is of the opinion that it is more appropriate for ERHS 566 to be an elective instead of a required core course. An elective course list has been added. Though most students will be advised to take a course in another department, this is no longer seen by the faculty as a mandatory requirement; this change will allow students the flexibility to take additional credits in toxicology-related ERHS courses.

College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences Effective Fall 2016 Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences Master of Science in Toxicology, Plan A Link to CIM Reason for Request:

New courses available for the curriculum are being added to increase elective options for student. Making the Toxicology Research Seminar (ERHS 693C) part of the core will ensure that students have a research seminar experience directed by a Toxicology Program faculty member. The structure of the elective list is being altered to allow students more flexibility in choosing elective courses to suit their needs and goals. Because one of the credits of ERHS 566 has been changed from lecture to lab the availability of this course has become limited and it is no longer feasible to include in a short selection list. Though most students will be advised to take a course in another department, this is no longer seen by the faculty as a mandatory requirement; this change will allow students the flexibility to take additional credits in toxicology-related ERHS courses.

Intra-University Effective Fall 2016 Graduate Degree Program in Ecology Ph.D. in Ecology Link to CIM Reason for Request:

The proposed changes to the GDPE curriculum are based on the philosophy of reducing the prescriptiveness of the GDPE curriculum, while maintaining a core requirement of including fundamental ecological courses as part of the pedagogical goal of GDPE. The reduction in prescriptiveness puts GDPE in line with other graduate programs in ecology around the country (as determined by a comparative analysis conducted by the GDPE Curriculum Committee). However, there is the risk that with decreased prescriptiveness students will graduate from GDPE with less breadth in ecology, particularly given that GDPE includes students from a broad range of disciplines. The expansion of Foundations of Ecology (ECOL 505) and the nine credit hours of required courses from a list of GDPE-sanctioned ecology courses should counter this, as well as continued vigilance by committee members to ensure that breath and integration are maintained in students’ programs of studies. The GDPE Executive Committee has reviewed and approved the list of GDPE-sanctioned ecology courses to ensure that students have access to the courses required for their programs of study. The proposed changes has replaced the 6-credit requirement for “Research Tools” courses with a 3-credit requirement for "Ecology Tools". However, the curriculum committee believes that students will still choose to take these quantitative courses (as has been consistently the case in the past) given the near-universal recognition by graduate committees and students that such tools are crucial to the successful training of ecology graduate students. Finally, the proposed changes should alleviate the over-subscription of the “core” GDPE courses and improve our students’ abilities to complete their program of study in a timely manner. Overall, the benefits from the proposed change to the GDPE curriculum are deemed to outweigh the potential costs. The GDPE faculty and student body were afforded the opportunity to comment on these changes, and all received comments were supportive.

Conflicts have long surrounded people and their relationship to their environments. Whether problems arise from natural disasters or competition for natural resources, the values and skills of peace building can help prevent violence and heal the wounds that fester. Refugees, for example, can destabilize entire regions. What is taught in schools, colleges and universities, however, can make a difference. Having P&RS within SoGES allows us the opportunity to align ourselves with the focus on global environmental sustainability while simultaneously developing new connections. Mention water and energy, for example, the other two interdisciplinary programs proposed for the new Special Academic Unit (SAU) within SoGES and the complimentary value of a program that addresses conflicts and their aftermath is clear and compelling.
