box)? ☐ Yes (if yes, provide the course information below) ☒ No

2.2. Will this be a unique or common course (place an “X” in the appropriate box)?

If the request is for a unique course, verify that you have reviewed the common course catalog via Colleague and the system Course Inventory Report to determine if a comparable common course already exists.

Course Description This course is designed to expose students to the field of Parasitology from the major impacts parasites have on health to identifying parasites and investigating life-cycles. Focus areas include parasites of the Great Plains and Black Hills region, the evolutionary and ecological roles of parasites, host-parasite interactions, and newly (re-)emerging and medically relevant parasites.

Parasitology 3

Provide explanation of differences between proposed course and existing system catalog courses below: The Diagnostic Parasitology (BIOL 487/587) and the Parasitology courses (467/567) in the existing system catalog differ both in content and structure. The proposed course content:

1) highlights parasites of the Great Plains and Black Hills region 2) focuses on the evolutionary and ecological roles of parasites 3) looks at host-parasite interactions—including changes in host behavior, 4) investigates newly (re-)emerged and medically relevant parasites and vectors 5) includes elements of Archaeoparasitology to provide students with a perspective on the

far-reaching impacts parasites have had on human health through time 6) emphasizes on how parasites are used in research (e.g., engineering, conservation,

medicine) and student research interests. 7) does not focus on the ecological effects of heavy metals, aquatic and terrestrial

ecotoxicity and other topics related to wildlife toxicology (topics covered in the existing Parasitology 567 course).

Structurally, the proposed course:

1) does not have a separate lab section that is required 2) does not have a co-requisite 3) includes more in-depth exams and projects for graduate students, that are an extension

of the undergraduate course topics. 4) Prerequisite of BIOL 151 or permission of instructor

1. Provide specific reasons for the proposal of this course and explain how the changes enhance

the curriculum. A course in Diagnostic Parasitology will enhance the upper level course offerings in the new Applied Biological Sciences BS Curriculum. This course will investigate the major impacts of parasites on health, teach students how to properly identify parasites of medical and veterinary importance, and parasite life-cycles and vector competence. Uniquely, this course highlights parasites of the Great Plains and Black Hills region, evolutionary and ecological roles of parasites, host-parasite interactions—including changes in host behavior, and newly (re-) emerged and medically relevant parasites. Parasites of medical and veterinary importance are the main focus of this course and will include elements of Archaeoparasitology to provide students with a perspective on the far-reaching impacts parasites have had on human health.

2. Student will be better, and uniquely, prepared for jobs and research opportunities in the medical, veterinary, engineering, and academic fields.

3. Note whether this course is: ☐ Required ☒ Elective 4. In addition to the major/program in which this course is offered, what other majors/programs

will be affected by this course? None, to my knowledge. 5. If this will be a dual listed course, indicate how the distinction between the two levels will be

made. Graduate Students will be required to complete, write-up (in a scientific peer-reviewed journal format), and formally present a semester project within the field of Parasitology, that is approved by the instructor. Additionally, they will be required to pass more rigorous evaluations than undergraduates (e.g., exams, lab practicals, and quizzes will be in more in-depth).

your achievement of course objectives. (3) Draw and explain the life cycles of the major parasites of humans (trypanosomes,

intestinal amoebas and flagellates, Plasmodium spp., schistosomes, tapeworms, Ascaris, hookworms.

(4) Explain the significance of parasite population structures, especially in terms of economic

impact, epidemiology, and health care delivery. (5) Explain the role of vectors in the transmission and maintenance of parasitic infections and

give at least one example.

(6) Demonstrate skill in use of the microscope by finding parasites in various kinds of preparations and explaining what those parasites are, including life cycle stages.

(7) Exhibit ability to solve a parasitological problem by demonstrating an understanding of the

problem, obtaining background knowledge about that problem, generating possible solutions for that problem, identifying and evaluating constraints of those solutions, and selecting a solution.

Provide explanation of differences between proposed course and existing system catalog courses below: ME 265/265L provides background in product development and culminates in students designing a simple physical product. ME 269/269L is a product development course focused on energy systems such as fossil, nuclear, and selected renewable sources. In contrast, CBE 467 is a course that focus specifically on design of processes and/or products, or the scale-up of such processes/products, that are not typically considered commodities. The CBE department teaches a capstone design course (CBE 466 Capstone Design for Chemical Engineering), which is traditionally concerned with commodity chemical process design. The proposed new course is dedicated to niche chemicals and/or products where the design of these are distinctly different from commodity or bulk chemicals. They are usually, produced in small quantities, can be high quality / high-value, can be produced through scale-up or batch process, and frequently they may have special or very specific properties. The focus on chemical-based products makes CBE 467 unique from ME 265/265L, and the scope of potential projects is broader than just energy systems products, which differentiates it from ME 269/269L.

the curriculum. The chemical and biological industries have grown increasingly complex, with not only large scale or bulk commodity chemical production, but many industries are seeing a shift toward higher value-added products. Part of the distinction of these products from commodity chemicals is in quantity produced, production methods, value, and sometimes the need for unique structures or properties (for examples carbon nano tubes or high-value, low-quantity pharmaceuticals). The design of these processes or specific products can be quite different from traditional commodity chemical process, and thus a dedicated course is needed to best instruct students in these newer areas and products.
