CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES

Share the challenges encountered in the past academic year and the actions taken to overcome

them. Also, indicate which of these challenges are ongoing for the coming year, or any new

challenges that are forthcoming. Describe the opportunities that may arise from the challenges

you have presented. (I provided for listing four challenges; please add more rows if you need

them.)

Challenges (2012‐2013)

of 82

1

Challenge encountered: Funding: The College of Arts and Sciences has the lowest per FTE student instructional funding at the University: CAS at A&T has less than half of the per FTE student funding compared to our UNC and BOG peers. The funding levels for English, sciences and mathematics in CAS compared to our UNC and BOG peers are particularly challenging. This chronic underfunding of CAS is the most serious obstacle for both CAS and the University to making progress on the University’s number one and number three goals, to improve the intellectual climate of the University and position A&T to be a national, premier research‐intensive, doctoral, science and technology focused‐learning institution.

Action taken to overcome it: The College’s management of this challenge relies largely on raising extramural funding for its programs and generating efficiencies created by increasing class sizes, high faculty teaching and advising loads, program discontinuations, and relying on lower‐cost adjunct faculty. Both strategies have been successful with CAS raising $3.7 million in extramural funding this year and CAS programs have the lowest average instructional costs at A&T. However, these efficiencies, which have tightened significantly over the last several years, are doubtlessly negatively impacting educational access, as well as retention and graduation rates both within CAS as well as across the University.

of 82

Is the challenge resolved or ongoing? Ongoing and, with the 13‐14 FY reductions, deteriorating.

2

Challenge encountered: CAS Faculty Salaries: CAS faculty salaries average 15% below the University’s average faculty salaries which is a serious impediment to CAS’s efforts to meet one of the University’s strategies for achieving A&T Preeminence 2020’s first goal, to recruit and retain top talent. It is also—since teacher quality is an important element in student success and because of CAS’ role in general, science and mathematics education for A&T—another threat to achieving progress on the University’s number one goal of improving the intellectual climate of the University.

Action taken to overcome it: CAS used a portion of the funds it received for raises in 2012‐2013 to address particularly glaring salary inequities.

Is the challenge resolved or ongoing? Ongoing.

3

Challenge encountered: Lack of a University wide plan for student success.

Action taken to overcome it: CAS and its departments have moved forward with their own efforts, primarily extramurally funded, to improve student success in gatekeeper science, mathematics, and writing courses. The College and chairs have sought funding to initiate efforts in student success. These efforts are more often than not thwarted due to a lack of university and assurance that student success is a major priority.


4

Challenge encountered: Low producing degree programs. Five of twelve departments with undergraduate programs graduate less than 21 students per year. Five of our seven graduate programs graduate fewer than 10 students per year.

Action taken to overcome it: (1) Discontinuation of low producing undergraduate degree programs and concentrations. (2) Increased and better focused recruitment efforts for undergraduate and graduate programs. (3) Increased availability of graduate assistantships and graduate tuition remission from both state and extramural sources.


Forthcoming challenges/opportunities

1 Very high use of part‐time adjuncts in freshmen and sophomore general education courses.

of 82

2 Inadequate support for faculty development.

3 Inadequate support for technology applications in the classroom and research.

4 Inadequate science and mathematics classroom and research facilities.

5. Difficulty in recruiting and retaining high quality chairpersons and research faculty.

d. Major curricula changes

In Biology, the Student Success course (BIOL 105) provided an opportunity for students to

enhance their study skills, learn about career options for the major, and have weekly contact

with their academic advisor who also served as the instructor for the class. This course ensured

that students interacted regularly with their advisors. As a result, advising was more effective

and efficient.

In Biology, BIOL 200 introduced students to their first research experience. As a result of this

exposure, at least 4 students sought additional research experience in faculty laboratories.

In Biology, the capstone course (BIOL 501) requires that each biology major to be mentored by

least one faculty member on a weekly basis to get advice on preparing their written and oral

presentation for the course.

of 82

In Chemistry, a math prerequisite was placed on the General Chemistry course, CHEM106, to

address some of the issues associated with high DFW rates in General Chemistry. The

prerequisite is as follows: SAT MATH score of 490 or SAT Subject MATH Level II score of 470 or

ACT MATH score of 19 or completion of CHEM103 with a grade of C or better.

In Chemistry, a new course, CHEM103 was developed to remove CHEM099 from the curriculum

offerings. The new course will emphasize the following: the fundamental concepts of inorganic

chemistry. Topics include matter, structure of the atom, nomenclature, chemical equations,

bonding and reactions. Mathematical topics include measurements, scientific notation, basic

algebraic calculations and stoichiometry. This course aims to improve the student’s problem

solving skills.

In Chemistry, the Department of Chemistry is developing research‐based laboratories

(CHEM190, CHEM290, CHEM291, CHEM390, CHEM391 and CHEM491) for its curricula to

enhance critical thinking skills and student success of its majors for future careers in the

chemical sciences.

In the fall of 2012, JOMC implemented three new sequences: Mass Media Production,

Multimedia Journalism and Public Relations. JOMC faculty restructured the old curriculum from

five sequences to three. The new sequences reflect an aggressive embrace of multimedia and

converged journalism as its principle focus.

Mathematics combined two BS degree programs in Applied Mathematics and Mathematics

into a single BS degree program in Mathematics with two concentrations in Pure Mathematics

and Applied Mathematics

The Speech Program revised curricula patterns for two concentrations: Communication Studies

and Speech‐Language Pathology & Audiology to include 1) the new general education courses,

and 2) an additional 6 credit hours of English and a Capstone course in both concentrations.

In February, 2013, The VPA Department/Dance Concentration and Theatre Program were

approved to offer the minor in dance and Theatre effective immediately. The approval of the

minor improved the recruiting and retention of potential minors.

e. New programs/certificate programs

Chemistry developed an Accelerated BS/MS (ABM) Program in Chemistry that has been approved by the Senate and is to be implemented in fall of 2013.

Physics received approval for a MS‐Physics concentration in Atmospheric Sciences from the Graduate Council. The package will be reviewed by the University senate in fall of 2013 for final approval. This concentration aims to attract students with interest in research in Atmospheric Sciences to the MS‐Physics program.

The Speech Program is seeking approval for a certificate program in Speech‐Language Pathology & Audiology.

f. Technology changes in classrooms, e.g. new labs

In Chemistry, Dr. Ginger Redd developed and implemented SoftChalk in her CHEM106 course.

SoftChalk is interactive content used to engage students in learning. A presentation, SoftChalk

of 82

in the Chemistry Classroom: 21st Century Pedagogy for Undergraduate STEM Students, was

given on April 16, 2013.

In JOMC, a fully‐functioning and fully‐equipped JOMC multimedia newsroom provided space for

advanced reporting classes and opportunities for students to produce content for the JOMC

Journal, an online multimedia blog that celebrated its one‐year anniversary during 2012‐2013.

In the summer of 2012, Mathematics reconfigured Rooms 216‐218 in Marteena Hall into a

SCALE‐UP classroom with six 9‐foot round tables, 45 rolling chairs, two overhead projectors,

two 16‐foot whiteboards, two 8‐foot whiteboards, and a smart podium.

During fall 2012, Mathematics configured Room 200 in Marteena Hall into a visualization lab

with 9 panels of high‐dimension vizwalls and a high‐end Linux/Windows server.

g. Teaching and program collaborations

The Department of Biology collaborated with the UNC‐Chapel Hill Seeding Post‐doctoral Innovators in Research and Education (SPIRE) program. This program is funded by NIH and it is designed to provide post‐doctoral students training in teaching. The Department of Biology hosted one SPIRE fellow, Justin Shaffer, who taught a section, Introduction to Biology for Non‐majors, under the mentorship of Dr. Checo Rorie. Dr. Shaffer also taught a new special topics course in the fall of 2012. The SPIRE fellows not only learn how to teach through their one year experience at NCA&T, but also take elective courses that cover new leading‐edge topics that are not in Biology’s current curriculum.

Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and English collaborated on a GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) proposal to establish a new student‐centered learning environment to enhance STEM teaching and learning and student success in STEM gatekeeper courses.

In Biology, Dr. Mary Smith is a member of the HHMI sponsored Genomics Education Partnership at Washington University. Faculty participants engage students in genomics research in their classroom. Dr. Dinitra White collaborates with faculty on the “Case It!” Project, a National Science Foundation‐sponsored project to promote collaborative case‐based learning in biology education, via free molecular biology computer simulations and Internet conferencing. Dr. Gregory Goins partners with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing group to build bioinformatics capacity at minority institutions and provides opportunities for students to participate in summer research internships in the summer.

The Department of Chemistry, in collaboration with the Greensboro Area Health Education Center, facilitated the 2012‐2013 Pharmacy Technician Training Initiative (PTTI) that supported area high schools, Bennett College and NCAT undergraduate students for pharmacy technician training.

As an interdisciplinary graduate program, Energy & Environmental Systems collaborated in the

offering of courses with multiple departments in CAS, SAES, COE, SBE, and SOT.

Liberal Studies is working collaboratively with the Office of International Programs by managing

the course offerings for its Global Studies Certificate Program.

Mathematics collaborated with the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) to configure the

Mathematics Emporium Classrooms in ACB 301 and 302, and piloted the Mathematics

Emporium model in MATH 099, 101 and 102 in the 2012‐2013 academic year.

Mathematics assisted the College of Engineering by reserving 20 seats in a section of MATH 131

for Engineering’s HOME program in the summers 2012 and 2013.

of 82

In Physics, Drs. Abebe Kebede, Samuel Danagoulian, Kenneth Flurchick , collaborated on the grant‐funded UNC‐NCAT Technology Infusion project. This is a partnership between North Carolina Agricultural and Technical (NC A&T) State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC‐CH). The goals of the partnership are two‐fold: (1) To incorporate UNC‐CH’s very successful introductory astronomy curriculum into NC A&T’s existing space science curriculum, and to provide NC A&T’s space science faculty with the training and the tools to carry out these lecture and laboratory courses successfully; and (2) To recruit talented and enthusiastic NC A&T undergraduate students as Research Fellows, who will work with telescopes at professional observatories, engage in astronomical research at both NC A&T and UNC‐CH, present their work at conferences, publish their findings in observing reports, conference proceedings, and journal articles, and in doing these things, be inspired to pursue graduate studies and/or careers in STEM disciplines.

Dr. James P. Mayes (Director, Criminal Justice program) participated, for the second year, as one of several instructors, in a collaborative teleconferenced course, GSCP 200, with Hunan Polytechnic University, China.

Sociology and Social Work participated in a film and panel program collaboration with the
