Graphics plans to use SolidWorks software. The civil engineering industry mostly uses AutoCAD. We desire to provide exposure of this powerful engineering tool to civil engineering students. Impact (i.e. if this impacts another unit): Civil engineering students will stop taking ME 212 offered by the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department. The MNE Dept. is fully supportive of this change. Effective Date: Fall

9 Engineering Management or Statistics as approved by the Program Director. Other Requirements: (maximum of 3 credit hours) in Engineering Management or Statistics as approved by the Program Director. Other Requirements: In addition to the course work requirements described above, students are further required to demonstrate advanced knowledge and competency in the area of transportation engineering by completing one of the following: 1. A research paper prepared as part of the requirements of one of the Core or Elective Courses described above. To satisfy this requirement, the research paper must have received a minimum letter grade of B. 2. Presentation of the results of a transportation engineering related study or project to the faculty of the Transportation Engineering Certificate Program. To satisfy this requirement, the study or project must have been completed under the supervision of the candidate for the Graduate Certificate in Transportation Engineering. The required evidence of advanced knowledge and competency should be presented to the Program Coordinator prior to the beginning of the candidate s final semester of course work.

The required evidence of advanced knowledge and competency should be presented to the Program Coordinator prior to the beginning of the candidate s final semester of course work. Rationale: CE 874 was developed by Dr. Hossain and was first taught under CE 816 Special Topics and then became its own permanent course (and is no longer offered under CE 816). This will add to the list of transportation electives students can select from. Impact (i.e. if this impacts another unit): ne Effective Date: Spring
