Idaho State University’s Undergraduate Curriculum Council

           Undergraduate Curriculum Council See MembersNovember 1, 2012 -- 3:00-5:30 p.m. in Rendezvous 301Volume XXIX, Meeting 18 (14-18) MINUTES – Approved November 8, 2012, by the Curriculum Council; accepted by Deans 13 November, 2012

A. PRELIMINARIES

1a. Attending: Bigelow, Blakeman (Chair), Fuger, Hertz, Hewett, Homan, Hunt, Kim, Nehr-Kanet, Nelson, Ruchti, Stuffle, Syme 1b. Pre-notified absences for this meeting: Hill (proxy not mentioned); Woodworth-Ney.1c. Guest: Cathy Cashmore, Associate Dean, College of Pharmacy

2. Hearing no objections, Blakeman declared the Minutes from the Council’s meeting on October 25, 2012 approved as presented. That meeting’s brief minutes will be sent to the Deans’ Council.

3. Current Committee Activities:

The College of Technology has sent the Bylaws for the Bachelor of Applied Science / Bachelor of Applied Technology Committee for this Council’s acceptance; these have been returned to the Committee for adjustments.

With no motions or discussion, Council unanimously voted to accept the Bachelor of University Studies Committee’s bylaws and minutes as listed. Members noted it seemed pointless to be reading about students’ degree plans now, after they have graduated.

November 1, 2012 -- Minutes for 18th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY13-14 catalog Page 1 of 37

The General Education Requirements Committee reports the following listed courses have been approved as General Education courses since the last several were divulged, and sent an updated complete list (it is unclear what information the asterisks and parentheses in the list are meant to convey; Blakeman says the courses preceded by asterisks are extant courses being newly added to the General Education list). The credits for LLIB 1115 are part of a proposal still ahead of this Council, as is the GEOL 1108 course. Blakeman will work with Committee Chair Susan Swetnam to get proposals approved there moving in the direction of the Council, and Young is concerned that a THEA course sent long ago to the Committee is not showing yet.

4. Blakeman reported having asked Woodworth-Ney about plans for transition following the secretary's retirement, and her response that a plan was in place and that the electronic catalog will streamline the process.

5. Stuffle reported that the Faculty Senate has not met since last week, but its members have received word that someone from outside the University intends to record the meetings (Bigelow noted this is not unusual).

B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS1. Remaining tabled is Proposal 39 – Health Occupations, to make several course changes. Last week, the Chairs

were believed to be talking.

2. Council unanimously approved a proposal from the College of Pharmacy (Appendix 1) to combine two courses. Cashmore answered questions: The credit change accommodates the different lengths of time that the students are working in community placements. We don’t name each “course” because of the “fluid” nature of locations, times involved, preceptors, and students; this is one instance in which the Office of the Registrar prefers to handle the results manually and on a case-by-case basis.

3. Council unanimously approved a proposal from the College of Pharmacy (Appendix 2) to mark the traditional pharmacy module courses as having variable credit.

4. Council unanimously approved a proposal from Paramedic Science (Appendix 3) to make course changes and corollary curriculum updates. Nehr-Kanet reported that the author responded that he was thinking of putting suggested General Education courses on the program’s advising sheets, leaving some [unspecified] wording saying that the students must meet all the required General Education objectives.

5. Council unanimously approved a proposal from Information Technology Systems COT 2012-21 (Appendix 4) to make description changes in four courses.

6. Remaining tabled is Proposal 58 – Computer Information Systems, to change the description of one course to make it more useful for General Education. Until the course has been approved (or permanently denied) by

GERC, the College of Business requests this proposal remain tabled. The course is on the updated list sent by the GERC, but that proposal has not returned here yet.

7. Council unanimously approved two proposals from ESTEC (Appendix 5) to add a course to the PostSecondary Technical Certificate: Instrumentation and Automation Assistant, and make other clean-up changes in the Instrumentation and Automation Engineering Technology program.

8. Council unanimously approved a proposal from ESTEC (Appendix 6) to discontinue both of the Advanced Technical Certificates in the Instrumentation and Automation Engineering Technology program.

9. Council unanimously approved a proposal from Proposal 62 – ESTEC (Appendix 7) to change two course titles and make corollary curriculum changes in the Energy Systems Mechanical Engineering Technology program.

10. Council unanimously approved a proposal from ESTEC (Appendix 8) to specify certain courses instead of Goal 3 in the Energy Systems Instrumentation and Controls Engineering Technology program.

11. Council unanimously approved a proposal from ESTEC (Appendix 9) to add a Technical Certificate in Energy Systems Technology.

12. Remaining tabled is Proposal 65 – Geomatics Technology, to add RCET course choices to its Bachelor of Science curriculum. Members expressed concern about RCET 0264 being an Objective 3 course without having been through the General Education Requirements Committee; Blakeman answered that one line was to have been removed from the proposal [not clear which one].

13. Remaining tabled is Proposal 66 – for housecleaning in the Industrial Controls program. Could a student get an AAS in Industrial Controls as a follow-on to ANY other AAS—or does it need to be a specific AAS?

14. Remaining tabled is Proposal 67 – School of Nursing, to add information about the Accelerated Nursing program to the catalog so Banner can use it.

15. Remaining tabled is Proposal 68 – ESTEC, to revive some eliminated ELTR courses as ESETs. Discussion, questions:

It is unclear what these courses will be used for.  They are not used in any curriculum, so even if they were taught to high school students, they would not be applicable to an ISU degree. 

If these Tech Prep courses are equivalent to courses at ISU, why are they not offered at the high school under the ISU numbers?

Need more information regarding what the articulation agreements are that are mentioned in the proposal.

The Tech Prep courses could be used as electives, but not toward any College of Technology degree.

How can a prereq be taken concurrently if a student needs to have gotten a C in it?

A capstone course is normally numbered toward the end of a sequence. Why is this one 0106?

16. Council unanimously approved a proposal from Respiratory Therapy (Appendix 10) to make a number of small course changes.

17. Remaining tabled is Proposal 70 – Emergency Management, to add a Bachelor of Science degree. The credits don’t appear to reach the total shown, or the credits shown don’t meet the 120 required by the state. Members

are to send comments and questions to the Moodle page so that author Mikitish can be briefed before answering questions next week.

18. Council unanimously approved a proposal from ESTEC Appendix 13), to create a 2nd AAS degree in Smart Grid power technology.

19. Remaining tabled is Proposal 72 – ESTEC, to create a 2nd AAS degree in Critical Infrastructure Security. Members asked for more clarification on what completers will be certified to be able to do after one semester of coursework.

20. Remaining tabled is Proposal 73 – Fire Services Administration, to reduce the B.S. to 120 credits. 7 credits from that total appear to be lost when upper division credits are reduced from 59 to 44, and it is unclear whether the lower division or the elective courses are being increased. Members are to send comments and questions to Moodle.

21. Remaining tabled is Proposal 74 – Computer Aided Design Drafting Technology, for substantial curriculum changes.

22. Council unanimously approved a proposal from Human Resource Training and Development (Appendix 12) to revise courses and curriculum.

23. Council unanimously approved a proposal from Electrical Engineering (Appendix 12) for housecleaning.

24. Remaining tabled is Proposal 77 – Languages and Literatures, for assorted changes

25. Remaining tabled is Proposal 78 – English and Philosophy, for two courses and an update to the BA in English Professional Writing option.

26. Proposals 79-90 remain un-discussed.

27. MS (Nelson, Stuffle) to approve, and automatically tabled, two newly-arrived proposals; Blakeman will post these on the Moodle forum for electronic discussion.

Proposal 91 – Anthropology, to change the title of one course. Proposal 92 – School of Engineering, to update many courses and curricula.

E. ADJOURNMENT – declared at 5:38 p.m. upon motion by Homan.

APPENDICES

1. College of PharmacyContact: Cathy Cashmore, Associate Dean, --3475

Proposal Summary: We are requesting the combination of PHAR 9980 (1 credit) and PHAR 9981 (6 credits) into a single 7 credit course (PHAR 9981) for the traditional pharmacy program. These two courses are taken concurrently by fourth professional year pharmacy students during their Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience year. These courses are repeated a total of seven times during the fourth year to allow students a wide variety of practice experiences. PHAR 9980 is a 1 credit “Case Studies in Pharmacy Practice” that is graded S/U. PHAR 9981 is a 4-6 credit “Advanced Community Pharmacy Practice Experience” course that receives letter grades. These

courses have always been taught together and grades submitted concurrently. Combining them will streamline the process, minimize confusion in the catalog copy and reduce duplication of grade submission.

Provision of experiential education in the fourth professional year of the pharmacy curriculum is an ACPE accreditation standard. Challenging students concurrently with case-based learning and allowing time for reflection on their experiential learning is also an accreditation standard. These two courses have always occurred simultaneously; this proposal allows for a streamlined approach to grading.

Faculty Vote: From the September 12, 2012 faculty meeting minutes: “Three changes are proposed today that will quickly implement beneficial changes without much adjustment:   2. Combine PHAR 9980 (1 cr) and PHAR 9981 (6 cr) into a single 7 credit course (PHAR 9981). A motion was made, seconded and carried unanimously by 27 of 27 faculty present to approve all three changes.”

Impacts College, Department, Facilities, Funding, etc.: None. ITS / ETS: The requested modifications involve existing courses and do not change any possible existing

ITS support requirements. The requested modifications involve existing courses and do not change any existing ETS support requirements. “OK with me.” --Randy Gaines

Library: The changes requested here don’t change any possible existing Library support requirements. “As this proposal entails a course combination, it presents no concerns for the Library.” --Sandra Shropshire

Registration: “No Banner issues.” --Beth Rhea Advising: Other Units: None – these courses are exclusively for Doctor of Pharmacy students.

2. College of PharmacyContact: Cathy Cashmore, Associate Dean, --3475

Proposal Summary: We are requesting approval of variable credit loads for all module courses in the traditional pharmacy program (PHAR 9961, 9962, 9963, 9964, 9965, 9966, 9967, 9968, 9969, and 9970). It is currently stated in the catalog that “A minimum of 225 semester credits is required for graduating with the Doctor of Pharmacy.” This remains unchanged.

We have a traditional PharmD program with ten pharmacotherapy "modules" that cover various organ-based therapeutics topics. Each module currently ranges from 2 to 5 credit hours.

We have discovered that some topics fit well into specific modules and others do not. For example, pain management could be taught alongside musculoskeletal topics, but may be presented even better in conjunction with the central nervous system module. Further, as medical information expands in some areas (such as HIV) and shrinks in others, some modules need to grow and others to shrink in order to keep current. Additionally, problems arise when there is a switch in instructors, switch in module order or change in content which can lead to a discrepancy in the relative amounts of pharmacology vs therapeutics that is taught in each module. It is important that the credit load accurately reflect the number of lecture hours the students are held accountable for.

Approval of variable credit loads for all module courses in the traditional program (PHAR 9961, 9962, 9963, 9964, 9965, 9966, 9967, 9968, 9969, and 9970) would solve many of these problems by allowing the program the flexibility to assign appropriate credit hours to each individual module. This will result in little to no change in overall credit hours required – it just gives the College of Pharmacy the flexibility to move content as needed.

Implementation of an integrated organ-system approach to pharmacy education is an accreditation standard and has proven to be a superior learning strategy. To engage this learning style within a distance learning-delivered curriculum is challenging, but achievable with careful oversight and the flexibility to update curricular content to ensure that students receive the most current and appropriate material. Adaptation of curricular content is essential to the College of Pharmacy program mission, and occasionally requires changes in course credit hours to reflect these changes.

Faculty Vote: From the September 12, 2012 faculty meeting minutes: “Three changes are proposed today that will quickly implement beneficial changes without much adjustment:   1. Variable credits (2-5) for modules PHAR 9961 – 9970. A motion was made, seconded and carried unanimously by 27 of 27 faculty present to approve all three changes.”

College, Department, Facilities, Funding, etc.: None. ITS / ETS: The requested modifications involve existing courses and do not change any possible existing

support requirements. “OK with me.” --Randy Gaines Library: The changes requested here don’t change any possible existing Library support requirements.

“The Library has no problems with this proposal.” --Sandra Shropshire Registration: “No Banner issues.” --Beth Rhea Advising: Other Units: None – these courses are exclusively for Doctor of Pharmacy students.

Discussion: “…each of the Progessional Years (P-1 through P-4) the Curriculum lists the total credits for each year. In this proposal only P-2, P-3, and P-4 are being updated; however, the total for each P year has been left out in the

proposal. To maintain consistency they should either remove the total for P-1 or add the totals for P-2, P-3, and P-4 with the varying totals of P-2 11 to 17, P-3 9 to 18, and P-4 (they have listed 16???) but it should be 11 - 17.”--Cashmore requested that the totals all be removed.

3. Paramedic ScienceContact: Michael Mikitish, -1763

Proposal Summary: The Paramedic Science program currently is in a traditionally taught EMS “modular” format with large, unwieldy courses whose content is often varied and unrelated, making it difficult to find qualified instructors. This has prompted the use of a variety of instructors within the same course, leading to challenges in course coordination, instructional inconsistency, and evaluation irregularities. The current program shall be divided into various courses that will promote a more direct educational focus for both instructors and students. Overall, the program’s curriculum will increase by 2 credits.

Secondly, the course subject code will change from EMTP to PARM – Currently, the term “Paramedic” is abbreviated from the title “Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic” (thus, the abbreviation EMTP). Effective January 1, 2013 the national nomenclature is changing and the term “Emergency Medical Technician” shall be dropped as part of the Paramedic title and only be used for the entry-level EMS position of “EMT.” Therefore, “Paramedic” shall be the only term recognized and used by advanced-level EMS practitioners. The change to the subject abbreviation PARM shall be representative of the degree and licensure achieved.

1. The proposed changes will: a. Facilitate a greater ability to identify and secure qualified instructors for program content by isolating content into related topics, thus making it easier to find qualified and consistent instructors.

b. Improve evaluation techniques to allow a greater focus on student and programmatic assessment of strengths and weaknesses. c. Meet nationally mandated requirements of the recently adopted EMS Educational Standards (approved January, 2009) which must be implemented in 2013 (CoAEMSP). These Standards place a greater emphasis on pathophysiology, pharmacology, advanced skills, understanding the role of medical research and an overall “greater depth and breadth” of medical information. d. Provide a greater opportunity to provide distributive educational opportunities to other Paramedic programs within the state of Idaho for challenging subject matter.

The proposed changes shall meet the mission and goals of the University and Program in the following ways:

1. Secure its place as the state’s leading health professions education institution 2. Goal 3: Advance medical and health care education throughout the state and region through increasing the quality of healthcare, the number of practicing health care professionals, and promotion of translational research.

Faculty Vote: We don’t have full time faculty, only adjuncts. So, we took a vote of the department heads from the KSHP.  The vote was unanimous to approve the changes. Impacts

College, Department, Staffing, Facilities, Funding, etc.: The greatest anticipated adjustment that will occur is the ease to find qualified instructors and have identified times and dates firmly established prior to the onset of the course. It is anticipated to greatly reduce the administration time of the program finding instructors.

ITS / ETS: This Meridian-based, Moodle-administered program, 24 students max, will be in Classroom #684, Tu-We-Th 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. In the future, distance education requiring video may be necessary. We expect weekly use of the simulation lab at ISU-Meridian, and addition of a document camera. A future goal of the program is to provide video feed to other Idaho colleges and campuses (including ISU-Pocatello) to support Paramedic programs in various parts of the state to teach subject matter that will be challenging for the periodic programs currently taught at places such as LCSC. Computer lab access, but no specific software, will be needed. The program will use a projector, computer, document camera, and internet connectivity in the room, with ITS support for maintenance of the current classroom computer. The program is open to using all forms of media to deliver its program, but for now, only what is already mentioned is being used. “o.k. with me.” --Randy Gaines

Library: The intent is to increase on-line research. The texts: Aehlert, B. (2010). Paramedic Practice Today: Above and Beyond. St. Louis, MO: MosbyJems Elsevier. Ma, J.O., Cline, D.M., Tintinalli, J.E., Kelen, G.D. & Stapczynski, J. S. (2004). Emergency Medicine Manual, 6th Ed. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill. “I need to state that the Library receives state appropriations to support academic programs, only.  Support for this program, as for any other PTE program, is made indirectly through existing Library resources made available for academic coursework and research.   All ISU students are entitled to use Library resources.” I explained that the A.S. was always academic, the B.S. will be academic, and the program is housed in the Division of Health Sciences. “Ok, I was not aware of that. Thank you for clarifying.  In that case, I guess I see no problem with this proposal.” --Sandi Shropshire

Registration: “I don't see any student information system issues.  However, new class fees need to be requested through Academic Affairs. We will need to know if any of the old courses should be considered equivalent to the new courses.” –Chris Hunt

Advising: “Besides the need to change the Goals section when the Objectives are finalized, and the suggestion to add HE 2210 Medical Terminology and Communication (see in curriculum changes below), no advising concerns.” –JoAnn Hertz

Other Units: No other programs will use these courses.

Discussion:

What are the exact program course requirements?  Only those courses need to be indicated in the catalog. -- The only course that are programmatically required are the Pre-Professional requirements – Anatomy and Physiology (both semesters) and Medical Terminology.

The General Education goals are now objectives. Do you want those "goals" to be absolutely required?  Or do you care what general education courses your students take? --We do have some objectives courses that are recommended. Do those get listed in the catalog? I’m thinking that we just make those [courses] part of the advising checklist.

--When ISU decided to go with the new objectives, that added an additional 10 credits to our program. Total number of credits for the Associate of Science in Paramedic Science is now 92. I’m not sure that the Curriculum Council really knows how these new objective are affecting current programs.

AS Paramedic Science breakdown:

Pre-Professional = 10 creditsGen Ed Objectives = 38 creditsProfessional Requirement = 44 creditsTotal = 92 credits.

I am attaching an advising checklist for the complete breakdown. I suppose the only courses you need to list as required are the Pre-Professional and the Professional. All students must complete all General Education Objectives.

Proposal Summary: We are requesting some minor updates to catalog descriptions for four courses. These changes will allow the program to evolve with the industry and continue to meet industry needs with graduates that possess up-to-date skills.

ITS 0120: Due to the evolution of the industry, the CDE graphical interface is no longer widely used and is no longer covered in the course. We are removing the reference to other specific graphical user interfaces.

ITS 0130: Computer technicians today replace entire modular components of computers such as motherboards, power supplies, and graphics cards. They do not troubleshoot to the electronic component level, which means they do not need to know how to solder new electronic components into the larger modular components. This skill is obsolete for ITS personnel and no longer covered in the course.

ITS 0160: The Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol is actually covered in ITS 0150 but fits into that course description under the larger umbrella of “IP routing.” It is not felt that it is necessary to change the description for ITS 0150.

ITS 0170: The reference to “xerography” is being removed because it is not covered by the CompTIA examination, and has been dropped from the course curriculum.

With the advent of Windows 7, which has moved to image based installations and requires signed drivers, industry has been moving to different systems of driver deployment and the program is proactively acting to stay current. Instruction on device driver management is crucial to understanding these systems. External storage devices such as USB drives and external hard drives

are becoming commonplace and the security of these devices has become a hot topic in the industry. The program is again moving in a proactive manner to include instruction on these devices and methods used to secure the data contained on these devices.

Faculty Vote: The faculty of the program voted unanimously in favor of the proposed changes on September 4, 2012.

Impacts College, Department, Staffing, Facilities, Funding, etc.: No adjustments will need to be made. ITS / ETS: The proposed changes will in no way affect campus IT or ET services. “OK with me.” -Randy

Gaines Library: Same. I am comfortable that the changes in this proposal will not affect the Library. Registration: Advising: “No Advising concerns.” JoAnn Hertz Other Units: No other programs use these courses.

5. ESTEC Instrumentation and Automation Engineering Technology COT 2012-09Lawrence Beaty, 221-2304 or Sherry Rindels-Larsen, 282-3224

Postsecondary Technical Certificate: Instrumentation and Automation Assistant

Proposal Summary: Add ESET 0106 Electronics Principles Capstone course to the Postsecondary Technical Certificate: Instrumentation and Automation Assistant. This class was inadvertently left off the list of required courses in catalog changes made last year. Course description is still included in catalog.

The Idaho Division of Professional-Technical Education is an integral part of the State Board of Education’s strategic plan that envisions an accessible and a seamless public education system that results in a highly educated citizenry.

The mission of Idaho Division of Professional-Technical Education is to provide youth and adults with the technical skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for successful performance in a highly effective workplace. Part of the strategic plan for PTE is to ensure funds designated for the professional-technical education system are efficiently managed to support the role and mission.

Faculty Vote: Unanimous affirmative vote of faculty present at the August 24 faculty meeting. Absent: Mike Fort and Don Shepherd.

Impacts College, Department, Facilities, Funding, etc.: None, the course being added to this curriculum list

already exists and is already taught. ITS / ETS: All changes involve existing Pocatello courses and do not change any existing support

requirements. “OK with me.” --Randy Gaines Library: No changes. “I don’t anticipate there being an effect on the Library from this proposed change.”

--Sandra Shropshire Registration: Advising: “No Advising concerns.” --JoAnn Hertz Other Units: No other programs will be affected by this change.

Discussion:“I have reviewed the total credits and although a bit difficult to determine if the 77 is correct due to the Gen Eds being added in in their curriulum section, there is a statement in the catalog which states (minimum 15 credits) for Gen Eds. For me this covers the issue.”

CURRICULUM CHANGE

14-18-57 To the Postsecondary Technical Certificate: Instrumentation and Automation Assistant, add: ESET 0106 Electronics Principles Capstone 2-8 cr

ESTEC, Instrumentation and Automation Engineering Technology COT 2012-11Lawrence Beaty 221-2304, or Sherry Rindels-Larsen 3224

Proposal Summary: We are requesting the following changes:

1. Require MATH 1153 Introduction to Statistics 3 cr or MATH 1170 Calculus 1 4 cr instead of Goal 3 of the General Education Requirements. These changes will create uniformity between the AAS programs offered under the ESTEC umbrella. These math courses fill industry requirements better than the other courses that satisfy the Objective that is replacing Goal 3. These courses satisfied Goal 3 of the former General Education requirements. All programs could use this course to satisfy the goal. In the past, students in ESIC have been encouraged to take either Statistics or Calculus. With this change, it will be required and now matches the requirements of the other ESTEC programs.

2. Return INST 0236 course description to catalog. Course description was inadvertently deleted from this year’s catalog and is still a required course for students. It is listed correctly in the required program curriculum.

3. In the Instrumentation and Automation Engineering Technology program, change CHEM course requirement to CHEM 1100 Architecture of Matter instead of CHEM 1111 and CHEM1111L (This is a catalog correction

from a previous proposal in 2011, and has already been done). These changes will create uniformity between the AAS programs offered under the ESTEC umbrella (this is a catalog correction).

1. RESP 2211 is only taught in the Fall, RESP 2232 is only taught in the Fall, RESP 3310 is only taught in the Spring.

2. In an approved curriculum proposal in 2010, HO 0105 was removed from RESP 2200 and HCA 1110 which is a similar course should have also been removed at that time.

3. In an approved curriculum proposal in 2010, HO 0209 was removed from RESP 2211 and PSCI 3315 which is a similar course should have also been removed at that time.

4. RESP 2230 is no longer available as a course and RESP 2280 is taught in the summer after RESP 3320 which is taught in the Spring. Adding RESP 2200, RESP 2200L, and RESP 2211 as PREREQs for RESP 2230 is more in sequence with the Respiratory Program course scheduling.

5. The BIOL courses listed as PREREQs for RESP 2214 are already program admission PREREQs so this is redundant and confusing for the students.

6. MATH 1108 or equivalent is a required course for CHEM 1101 and CHEM 1111 which are Respiratory Therapy program PREREQs so this was a redundant listing.

This proposal will support the University, College of Technology, and Health Occupations mission by eliminating redundant course listings from the program curriculum catalog copy, which will streamline the program admissions and graduation process thus supporting local, state, and national health care needs.

Faculty Vote: The Respiratory Therapy program had a unanimous vote on September 4, 2012. This proposed curriculum revision has been discussed in weekly program meetings and faculty members agree with the proposed changes.

Impacts College, Department, Facilities, Funding, etc.: No adjustments will need to be made. ITS / ETS: All changes involve existing courses and do not change any existing support requirements. “OK

with me.” --Randy Gaines Library: “As this proposal involves prerequisite and/or frequency changes, I expect there to be little or no

effect on the Library.” --Sandra Shropshire Registration: “No Banner issues.” --Beth Rhea “No issues for DegreeWorks.” --Sarah Mead Advising: “No Advising concerns.” Joann Hertz Other Units: The prerequisite courses that are being addressed were eliminated as requirements for the

Respiratory Therapy program several years ago. We foresee no impact to other departments.

CURRICULUM CHANGE

14-18-74 Update the Associate of Science in Respiratory Therapya) Remove MATH 1108

11. Human Resource Training and DevelopmentKaren Wilson Scott, 521-9793

Proposal Summary: (1) Degree Description Revision: We are requesting a revision of the catalog narrative description of the

Bachelor of Science Degree: Human Resource Training and Development to accurately represent the degree and the two options. We are revising to accurately represent the degree and the two options. This doesn’t require a proposal, so I will copy this part from below onto a separate page and do it separately.

(2) Course Change [Number, Title, Content]: We are unable to change course numbers, so this will turn into a drop, add. 4407 works because Banner never had it. We are updating HRD 2207, Technology in Human Resource Training and Development, by returning it to its former number and a slight name revision with current, highly relevant technology content: HRD 4407, Instructional Technology in HRD. The course is applicable to both Professional Technical educators in secondary and post-secondary institutions and to professional trainers teaching professional employees in industry and corporate organizations. The updated course teaches evidence-based multi-media e-learning strategies. We believe this update provides our teaching/training degree with foundational research to guide emerging e-learning practice. This course is taught Fall 2012 as HRD 4499, an experimental course. As HRD 4407, this course becomes a Core course in both options, Professional-Technical Teacher Education and Corporate Training. HRD 2207 (formerly HRD 4407) taught e-learning technology applicable in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, but outdated for today’s teachers and trainers. The updated course teaches evidence-based multi-media e-learning strategies. We believe this update provides our teaching/training degree with foundational research to guide emerging e-learning practice. This course is taught Fall 2012 as HRD 4499, an experimental course. As HRD 4407, this course becomes a Core course in both options, Professional Technical Teacher Education and Corporate Training.

(3) Course Change [Title, Content]: We are updating HRD 4410, Group Initiative and Change, and slightly revising its name with more relevant content: HRD 4410, Principles of Leadership and Change. The course is applicable to both Professional Technical educators in secondary and post-secondary institutions and to professional trainers teaching professional employees in industry and corporate organizations. The updated course teaches leading, managing, and facilitating change within organizations, improving relevancy. This course becomes elective for both options. Updating the course content and name bring more relevant leadership and change strategies both Professional Technical educators in secondary and post-secondary institutions and to professional trainers teaching professional employees in industry and corporate organizations.

(4) Curriculum Change: In the HRD Corporate Training Option Core, we are replacing HRD 4405, Learning Styles with HRD 4407, Instructional Technology in HRD. The course is applicable to professional trainers teaching professional employees; it teaches evidence-based multi-media e-learning strategies. We believe this is a better fit for this option. The course is applicable to professional trainers teaching professional employees; it teaches evidence-based multi-media e-learning strategies. We believe this is a better fit for this option.

(5) Curriculum Change: HRD 4464, Instructional Facilities Management should be moved from the Corporate Training Core to the Professional-Technical Teacher Education Core. HRD 4409, Professional Readings and Writing should be moved from the Professional-Technical Teacher Education Core to the Corporate Training Core. Remove HRD 4409 from the Electives: Corporate Training Option.

(6) Curriculum Change: In the HRD Professional-Technical Teacher Education Option Core, we are replacing HRD 4468, Teaching Cooperative Education and School to Work with HRD 4431, Workforce Leadership. HRD 4431 will be removed from the Professional-Technical Teacher Education Electives. HRD 4468 will be removed from the Corporate Training Electives. HRD 4431, Workforce Leadership is applicable to pre-service professional technical educators, as they prepare PTE students to be workforce leaders. We believe this is a better fit for this option. Further, the Teaching Cooperative Education and School to Work program is no longer part of the career and technical education curriculum nationally, while leadership is a thrust of the discipline. The course is applicable to pre-service professional technical educators, as they prepare PTE students to be workforce leaders. We believe this is a better fit for this option. Further, the Teaching Cooperative Education and School to Work program is no longer part of the career and technical education curriculum nationally, while leadership is a thrust of the discipline.

(1) Curriculum Change: In the Electives: Corporate Training Option and Professional-Technical Teacher Education Option, add HRD 4410, Principles of Leadership and Change.This course is applicable to the electives of both HRTD Options, as leadership and change is a major thrust for educators, both PTE and Corporate in the current workforce.

These 6 changes, updating catalog copy, and especially updating courses to increase the rigor and currency of the Human Resource Training and Development undergraduate degree program, will improve Idaho State University’s fulfillment of its mission to prepare “teachers, administrators, and other education professionals,” to provide “students high quality professional education and technical training in response to the needs of private industry,” and to achieve academic excellence in undergraduate education” (ISU Undergraduate Catalog, 2012-13, p. 6). The Catalog describes the program as follows, [The HRTD] “Department offers professional courses to prepare students for bachelor’s degrees in Human Resource Training and Development with options in Corporate Training or Professional-Technical Teacher Education…. The baccalaureate program in Human Resource Training and Development, aligned with State educational standards, provides the adult learner with opportunities to engage in the processes of inquiring, learning, and applying known competencies within the fields of Human Resource Development and Professional Technical Education” (p. 300).

Faculty Vote: During HRTD faculty meeting on August 21, 2012, the faculty vote was unanimously in favor of the catalog revisions described herein.

Impacts College, Department, Facilities, Funding, etc.: No adjustments will need to be made; HRD 4407, 4410,

and 4431 are already offered and supported. ITS / ETS: All changes involve existing courses and do not change any existing support requirements. “OK

with me.” --Randy Gaines Library: Same. “I do not anticipate that the Library will be affected by these changes.” --Sandra Shropshire Registration: “No Banner issues.” --Beth Rhea Advising: “No Advising concerns.” --JoAnn Hertz Other Units: No other departments or programs use either the courses replaced (HRD 4405, HRD 4499,

and HRD 4464), or the courses replacing them (HRD 4407 (moved from experimental course 4499), HRD 4410, or HRD 4431, respectively).

12. Electrical EngineeringDrs. Hossein Mousavinezhad, Gene Stuffle

Proposal Summary: The department wishes to reduce BSEE degree requirements from 129 credit hours to 120 credit hours. According to recent electrical engineering accreditation criteria, the electrical engineering programs do not require the inclusion of a course in discrete structures. This change will also reduce the time to graduation for our students. As part of our mission we provide a program in electrical engineering to prepare students for lifelong career in the field and produce graduates who demonstrate broad and in-depth knowledge in the practice of, or advanced study of, electrical engineering. The streamlined BSEE curriculum is designed to prepare our graduates for graduation with the minimum number of required courses while still keeping some flexibility by offering electives.

Faculty Vote: This proposal was prepared by the EE Department Curriculum Committee during Fall 2011 Semester, it was discussed during a Department retreat, October 27, 2011and EE Advisory Board meeting on December 1, 2011. The EE Curriculum Committee discussed the proposal on February 22, 2012; finally it was approved by majority faculty vote during an EE Department Meeting on August 22, 2012.

Impacts College, Department, Staffing, Facilities, Funding, etc.: We are deleting one course on Applied Discrete

Structures, 3 credit hours (topics already covered in other EE courses); dropping Engineering Economics, 2 credit hours; reducing EE 3325, Electromagnetics from 4 credit hours to 3 credit hours); and reducing the senior design project sequence from 6 credit hours to 3 credit hours (the senior seminar class will be utilized for student project selection and proposal presentation. Actual design will be completed in the EE 4496 class.) We are also replacing CS 4475 (This course, which is required for EE majors, is no longer offered at ISU.) with EE 4426, Computer Architecture and Organization, 3 credits for EE majors.

ITS / ETS: The changes proposed here will not require any additional support requirements, nor affect the number of students in the EE program (presently enrollment is about 100 students). As in the past we will continue offering most lecture courses via distance learning in both Pocatello and Idaho Falls campuses, using existing formats for course delivery. “ok with me.” --Randy Gaines

Library: No changes. “I see no Library-related issues associated with this proposal.” --Sandra Shropshire Registration: “No Banner issues.” --Beth Rhea Advising: One semester has a total; should all of them do likewise? Other Units: These changes will affect only the EE program’s time to graduation and will not change the

prerequisites or corequisites of other programs.

13. ESTEC – Smart Grid COT-2012-16; ISU 2012-19Lawrence Beaty, 221-2304, or Sherry Rindels-Larsen , 282-3224

Proposal Summary: This proposal requests the creation of a 2nd AAS degree in Smart Grid available to graduates of ESTEC programs on approval of the instructor. This 2nd AAS degree program provides students with the knowledge and tools to work in industrial and utility settings.

Currently no Smart Grid technical education is offered in Idaho PTE programs. ISU College of Technology is responding to the DOE identified needs. The Integrated Resource Plans of Idaho’s investor owned utilities, that have been approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, are based on Smart Grid system demand response technology being installed and implemented on a statewide basis. Industry will benefit by having Smart Grid certified technicians.

The Smart Grid program will provide an additional credential for ESTEC students. Smart Grid can be completed in one semester and will be taken following receipt of an ESTEC AAS degree or instructor approval.

The Idaho Division of Professional-Technical Education is an integral part of the State Board of Education’s strategic plan that envisions an accessible and a seamless public education system that results in a highly educated citizenry. The mission of Idaho Division of Professional-Technical Education is to provide youth and adults with the technical skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for successful performance in a highly effective workplace. Part of the strategic plan for PTE is to ensure funds designated for the professional-technical education system are efficiently managed to support the role and mission.

Faculty Vote: Unanimous affirmative vote of faculty present at the August 24 faculty meeting. Absent: Mike Fort and Don Shepherd.

Impacts College, Department, Facilities, Funding, etc.: Adjunct faculty will be hired to develop and teach

courses. This program will not be offered until funding for program has been identified and secured. No major changes will occur to existing programs, departments, or the college.

ITS / ETS: Moodle will be the only support required for this Pocatello program for 12-15 students per year. “OK with me.” --Randy Gaines

Library: No changes. “The Library does not provide support for PTE programs, so I have no concerns with this proposal.” --Sandra Shropshire

Registration: “I don't really see any issues for DW, just a question about how this certificate program will be entered in Banner and on a student’s SGASTDN record.” –Sarah Mead

Advising: Other Units: No other programs or departments are expected to use these courses. Students must have

an ESTEC AAS degree or instructor approval. Prospective students with other education or experience should contact the instructor prior to enrolling.

Total: 20 crI contacted Dr. Vera McCrink from the State Division to see if we could make the change from a Technical Certificate to a 2nd AAS degree since we originally submitted the new credentials as TCs rather than AAS degrees on the Five Year Plan.  After some discussion, and agreement that both credentials are advanced options

that would be better recognized by industry as AAS degrees, she authorized the change. – Debbie Ronneburg
