TTU General Education Credit for Courses Transferred from UT System - Information Only

Dr. Stephens, speaking on Dean Armistead's behalf, presented the following for information purposes only:

TTU General Education Credit for Courses Transferred from the UT system (UT-Knoxville, UT-Chattanooga, and UT-Martin)

1. Students who have completed all General Education requirements on a UT-System campus will be considered to have completed all General Education Requirements at TTU, with two exceptions:

a. Any of these students (except those majoring in Engineering) who have not completed two semesters of college-level U.S. History will, by state law, be required to complete that requirement before graduation from TTU.

b. These students must take any TTU General Education courses that are required for progression in their major programs.

2. Students who have not completed all General Education requirements on a UT-system campus, but who have taken one or more courses in the General Education program there, will be given TTU General Education credit as follows:

a. Courses and General Education categories that are clearly equivalent* to

their TTU counterparts will be treated by Records as TTU courses and categories, and given the appropriate credit.

b. Courses that are clearly equivalent* to TTU General Education courses, but whose General Education categories are not matched at TTU, will be assigned appropriate TTU categories by Records, after consultation with the TTU General Education Committee chairperson, and given the appropriate credit.

c. Courses that are not clearly equivalent* to TTU General Education courses, but which fulfill General Education requirements on the UT campus, will be assigned the appropriate TTU category by Records, after consultation with the TTU General Education Committee chairperson, and given the appropriate credit.

2. Courses that are not taken for General Education credit on a UT-system campus can be given TTU General Education credit only through use of the established “Undergraduate Course Substitution Form.” See http://www.tntech.edu/gened/substitution%20req_gen.html.

* As indicated by course title and/or description.

Approval of Course Additions, Deletion and Curriculum Changes from the Department of Biology

Dr. Roberts took over the chair for Dr. Combs to present the Biology proposals.

Memorandum dated March 28, 2007

Course Additions:

BIOL (WFS) 2991-2992-2993-2994. Topics. Credit 1-2-3-4. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and departmental chairperson. Focused study equivalent to one, two, three, or four credit hours on a special topic in the life sciences or wildlife/fisheries sciences under faculty supervision and approval of the department chairperson. Course may be repeated until a maximum of 12 hours of combined credit in BIOL (WFS) 299- Topics or BIOL (WFS) 499- (599-) Advanced Topics courses are earned.

BIOL (WFS) 4991-4992-4993-4994 (5991-5992-5993-5994). Advanced Topics. Credit 1-2-3-4. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and departmental chairperson. Focused study equivalent to one, two, three, or four credit hours on an advanced topic in the life sciences or wildlife/fisheries sciences under faculty supervision and approval of the department chairperson. Course may be repeated until a maximum of 12 hours of combined credit in BIOL (WFS) 299- Topics or BIOL (WFS) 499- (599-) Advanced Topics courses are earned.

Course Deletion:

BIOL (WFS) 4990 (5990). Topics. Credit 1-4. Prerequisite: Consent of the departmental chairperson. Special study in an approved field under the supervision of a member of the biology faculty as approved by the department chairperson.

Motion. Dr. Combs moved to approve the additions and deletion effective Fall 2007. The motion was seconded by Dr. Mills and carried.


Course Addition: BIOL 1050. Principles of Biology. Lec. 3, Credit 3. A basic foundation in biological principles common to all organisms, with an emphasis on molecules, cells, metabolism, genetics, reproduction, evolution, and speciation.

Curriculum Changes: The proposed approach to adding the new course, BIOL 1050, to all Biology and WFS curricula as a requirement is to remove an equivalent amount (3 hrs) of general elective credit from each curriculum. This approach is justified because the current curricula have anywhere from 6 to 21 general elective credit hours, leaving sufficient room to remove 3 hours from each. (Curricula tables on file in Office of Assoc. Vice President for Academic Affairs)

Motion. Dr. Combs moved to approve the addition and changes effective Fall 2007. The motion was seconded by Ms. Mannle and carried.

The chair position was returned to Dr. Combs.

Approval of Course Addition and Curriculum Changes from the Department of Chemistry

In a memorandum dated February 27, 2007, approval was requested for the following:

Course Addition: CHEM 4410 (5440). Forensic Chemistry. Lec. 3. Lab. 1. Credit 4. Prerequisites: CHEM 1110, 1120, 3010, 3020, 3410. This course will

examine the application of chemical concepts and methods to the analysis of crime scene evidence.

Curriculum Changes - Applied Chemistry (CHMN) concentration: MATH requirement FROM: MATH 1130 College Algebra Cr. 3 and MATH 1830 Concepts of Calculus Cr. 3

TO: MATH 1530 Elementary Probability and Statistics Cr. 3 and MATH 1910 Calculus I Cr. 4

BIOL requirement FROM: BIOL 1110 General Zoology Cr. 4 and BIOL 2140 Cell Biology Cr. 4

TO: BIOL 1110 General Zoology Cr. 4 and BIOL 1120 General Botany Cr. 4

Creation of new options under the Applied Chemistry concentration We propose the formation of six options within the Applied Chemistry (CHMN) concentration that would entail the changes in "chemistry electives" and "directed technical requirements" listed below:

The proposed options are: Business Chemistry Environmental Chemistry Forensic Chemistry Health Sciences Industrial Chemistry Chemistry

1. Change in advanced chemistry courses: From: 9 hours of chemistry electives as approved by the chemistry advisor To: The following option-dependent requirements:

Business Chemistry – 9 hours of advanced chemistry approved by the chemistry advisor

Environmental Chemistry – CHEM 4710 and 4720 plus 3 hrs of advanced chemistry approved by the chemistry advisor

Forensic Chemistry – CHEM 4410, 4610 and 4650. Health Sciences – CHEM 4610 and 4620 plus 3 hrs of advanced

chemistry approved by the chemistry advisor Industrial Chemistry – CHEM 4210, 4520, and 4710.

Chemistry - 9 hours of advanced chemistry approved by the chemistry advisor

2. Change in directed technical requirements:

From: For pre-Health Science students Technical Requirements should include courses recommended or required by the intended professional school. Current requirements include courses from the following list: BIOL 2010, 2020, 3230, 3810, 4040, ECON 2010, MATH 1530, but specific requirements for each school vary. The student should consult the Pre-Professional Health Sciences advisors for current information. Students pursuing a career outside the health sciences should work out a program of supporting

coursework with the approval of the chemistry advisor. To: The following option-dependent requirements:

Business Chemistry – ACCT 3720, BMGT 3510, FIN 3210, MKT 3400 plus 3 hours chosen from DS 3620 or LAW 3810

Environmental Chemistry – BIOL 3130 plus 12 hours chosen from AGRN 3230, 4220, BIOL 4130, 4840, GEOL 4100, 4650, 4711.

Forensic Chemistry – CJ 2660, 4250, BIOL 3330, 3810, 4150.

Students pursuing a career outside the defined options should work out a program of at least 14 hours of complementary coursework with the approval of the chemistry advisor.

3. Social Science General Education restrictions

Within certain options, students should use the following general education courses to satisfy prerequisites for technical requirements.

Business Chemistry – Social Science requirement must be ECON 2010 and 2020

Forensic Chemistry – Social Science requirement must include SOC 1010

The options and a brief description of their intent follows:

Business Chemistry – This option is intended for those who are more interested in the business side of the chemical industry or in a management career in a technical industry. The non-chemistry component of this option includes most, if not all, of the coursework necessary to enter the +1 MBA program offered by the TTU College of Business.

Environmental Chemistry – Chemistry plays a central role in all environmental issues. No student can be considered prepared to contribute to this field without a solid background in chemistry. However, most students interested in the study of environmental science typically do not possess the mathematics and “hard science” interest needed to pursue the Environmental Chemistry option found under the more rigorous ACS Chemistry concentration. This option incorporates a significant amount of supporting coursework in contributing sciences, such as biology, agriculture, and geology, but with a more approachable contribution from mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Forensic Chemistry– Forensic science is an interdisciplinary field incorporating aspects of chemistry, biology, and physics. While it is certainly an area of current

popular interest, it has long been a career pathway for chemistry graduates, whose curricula fit these demands particularly well. This option combines the essential elements of chemistry with supporting coursework in biology and criminal justice. It also includes a new advanced chemistry course in forensic chemistry.

Health Sciences - This option provides a four-year content degree in chemistry for students who have pursued non-degree curricula in pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-pharmacy, pre-optometry and other related pre-health programs. Supporting coursework in biology is chosen from those courses required or encouraged by professional schools.

Industrial Chemistry – This option is intended for students who wish to pursue a technical career in a chemistry-related industry. Many companies seek employees with a chemical background but do not need the rigorous training found in the ACS Chemistry concentration. An integral part of this program is a minimum of one year of cooperative employment experience.

Chemistry – This option maintains the flexibility of the current program, allowing adaptation to new areas of interest as they develop.

Motion. Dr. Crouse, representing Dr. Boles, moved to approve the changes effective Fall 2007. The motion was seconded by Dr. Eisen and carried.
