Letter of Intent for New Degree Institution: Georgia Institute of Technology Date: May 2, 2005 School/Division: School of Civil & Environmental Engineering Name of Proposed Program: Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (BSEnvE) Starting Date: Spring 2006 Institutional Mission 1. Does this program further the mission of your institution? The program will provide Georgia residents (and all other students) the opportunity to earn an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Engineering (BSEnvE). An ABET-accredited environmental engineering undergraduate degree program is not offered by the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) or any other University System institution. 2. Will the proposed program require a significant alteration of the institutional mission? No alternation of the institutional mission is anticipated. 3. Will the program require the addition of a new organizational unit to the institution (e.g. college, school, division or department)? The program will be offered within an existing unit, the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE). Therefore, no new organizational unit will be added to the institution. The BSEnvE curriculum will serve as the second ABET-accredited degree program offered by CEE, in addition to the existing Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE). This approach is similar to that employed in the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering, which offers ABET-accredited undergraduate degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. An ABET-accredited Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (MSEnvE) degree is currently offered by CEE. As part of the development plan for the proposed BSEnvE, ABET accreditation will be dropped for the MSEnvE degree. Hence, accreditation of the environmental engineering degree program will be at the undergraduate level, consistent with all other ABET-accredited degrees offered by Georgia Tech. 4. Is it likely that a SACS visit for substantive change will be necessary? An additional SACS visit is not anticipated. 5. How does the proposed program help meet the priorities/goals of your strategic plan? One of the key tenants of the College of Engineering (COE) strategic plan is to prepare engineering graduates that are capable of adapting to changing societal needs. The

BSEnvE degree program addresses this critical issue by providing an educational experience that is based on a fundamental knowledge of scientific disciplines, which can be used to solve emerging environmental engineering issues (e.g., sustainable water resources, human health, and environmental toxicology). We anticipate that this program will increase undergraduate enrollment in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, and will serve to further bridge the gap between science and engineering disciplines. 6. Will this proposal require an addition or change in your institution strategic plan? No change to the strategic plan anticipated. 7. Will the program require an increase in state appropriation within the next five years? No increase in state appropriation will be required. 8. If this is a baccalaureate program, will you be asking for an exception to the 120 hour expectation or to the core curriculum? The core curriculum requirements will be satisfied. The proposed BSEnvE degree will have 127 semester hours plus 2 hours of Health/Physical Education. The existing BSCE requires 126 hours plus 2 hours of Health/Physical Education. 9. Are there program delivery formats that will be new or different for your institution? Delivery formats already in use at the Georgia Institute of Technology will be employed for the program. Need Provide a brief justification for why the state needs graduates from this program and for why the University System needs this program. Give a brief justification for why your institution should offer the program. The State of Georgia needs graduates of the BSEnvE program to address current and emerging environmental engineering issues related to water supply and reuse, environmental toxicology and human health, air pollution control and management, and sustainable growth and development. Currently, an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degree in the field of environmental engineering is not offered by any institution within the University System. Currently, the University of Georgia offers a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences (BSES) in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The Georgia College & State University offers a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, and the University of West Georgia offers a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. However, the program proposed herein will represent the only ABET-accredited environmental engineering degree offered within the University System, which Georgia Tech is uniquely positioned to offer. Existing degree programs offered by the Georgia Institute of Technology (e.g., Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences) do not provide adequate

training in the fundamentals and application of chemical, biological, and engineering principles to environmental systems, nor do the existing programs realize opportunities in emerging fields relevant to environmental engineering, such as human health and nanotechnology. The proposed curriculum has been designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge in sciences, particularly in chemistry and biology, and expanded laboratory training and exposure to analytical methods, which are essential to environmental monitoring. The curriculum also contains a flexible set of technical electives geared toward student-selected specific areas of interest and/or career objectives (e.g., water resources, bioremediation, air pollution). The curriculum addresses limitations inherent to the BSCE degree with regard to environmental engineering education, while maintaining engineering fundamentals (e.g., statics, dynamics, deformable bodies, fluid mechanics) and providing both technical and culminating engineering design experiences. We intend the program to provide a “home” for students with interest and aptitude in science and engineering, and a desire to apply these combined skills to environmental systems. In addition, the proposed degree will serve as the academic training for Georgia engineering graduates who wish to become licensed Professional Engineers in Environmental Engineering (i.e., PE Exam in Environmental Engineering). If the program is applied or professional in nature, describe the kind of data you will use to support the need for the program. Assessment of need for a BSEnvE program will be based on; (a) direct survey of potential employers (e.g., consulting firms, corporations, government agencies), (b) published job market trends in environmental engineering, (c) survey graduates of CEE/GT working in the field of environmental engineering to assess potential value of new BSEnvE degree program. Recently, both the visiting ABET-accreditation review team and the CEE Academic Program Review (APR) panel recommended development of an undergraduate degree in environmental engineering, to be offered in addition to the existing BSCE degree. Provide a brief description of whether and why students will enroll in the program. What kinds of data do you intend to use to show student demand for the program? The BSEnvE degree program will attract students for a number of reasons, including: (a) the unique combination of science (biology, chemistry, physics), mathematics, and applied engineering skills, (b) importance of environmental resources (e.g., water, air) for sustainable growth and development, (c) opportunities to restore and prevent human impacts on the environment, and (d) the increasing role of environmental factors in human health. Data will be collected during internal and external student recruitment activities. Based on interactions between CEE undergraduate coordinator and prospective students, questions related to the availability and content of the undergraduate environmental engineering program in CEE rank in the top 3. For example, at a recent Georgia Tech majors fair, more than half of the students asked about the environmental engineering program. Students

Estimate the number of students who will graduate annually from the program in the steady state. What percentage will likely be from other existing programs? Which programs will the students come from? A steady-state graduation rate (e.g. 5 years from establishment) of approximately 75 students per academic year is anticipated, although this number could be larger depending on popularity of the program and ability to attract new students into the program. Based on current specialization within the existing BSCE curriculum, we expect that 50% will come from BSCE pool, and 25% will come from College of Sciences, and 25% will come from undecided engineering majors and within-system transfers such as the Regent’s Engineering Transfer Program (RTEP). Budget 1. Estimate the steady-state cost of the program (in current dollars) and indicate the percentages from reallocation, student fees, grants, and outside dollars. The proposed curriculum has been developed with recognition of the need to minimize additional resource requirements above those currently allocated to CEE. Student course and degree requirement approvals will be handled by existing staff members in the CEE student services office. Overall administration of the program will be overseen by Dr. Joseph Hughes (CEE Chair) and Dr. Larry Jacobs (CEE Associate Chair of Undergraduate Programs). Additional oversight with respect to technical content and student advisement will be provided by Dr. Kurt Pennell (Environmental Engineering), Dr. Don Webster (Environmental Fluid Mechanics & Water Resources), Dr. Mike Saunders (Environ. Eng. Group Coordinator), and an Advisory Panel consisting of faculty representatives from relevant College of Sciences and College of Engineering units. 2. Estimate start-up costs for the program and indicate possible fund sources. The program will be administered through an existing unit and the majority of courses are already offered at Georgia Institute of Technology, thus the start-up cost will be modest. The proposed program will involve the development of two new courses, CEE 3340: Environmental Science and Engineering Laboratory and CEE 4395: Environmental Systems Design Project, which will be taught by existing CEE faculty. The primary start-up costs for the program will be instrumentation for the proposed new undergraduate laboratory course (CEE 3340), estimated to be on the order of $25,000. These funds will be used to purchase balances, air-pollution collection units, glassware, chemicals and reagents, personal safety items, filtration stations, and analytical supplies (e.g., cuvets). Possible sources for these funds include the College of Engineering Dean’s Office and CEE. Facilities If additional facilities are needed, how they will be acquired. The new undergraduate laboratory course, CEE 3340 “Environmental Science and Engineering Laboratory”, will be offered in existing laboratory space on the Georgia Tech campus, specifically, either Room 109/110 in the Daniel Laboratory or Room 3371 in the Ford Environmental Science & Technology Building.

Curriculum and Delivery 1. Are there special characteristics of the curriculum (as compared to similar programs)? The proposed BSEnvE curriculum is distinct from the BSCE in that six science courses are required in the freshman and sophomore years (i.e., 2 Chemistry, 2 Physics, 1 Biology, 1 Earth & Atmospheric Sciences), and three upper-level laboratory courses are required (i.e., Civil Engineering Materials, Environmental Science and Engineering Laboratory, Hydraulic Engineering). The additional science courses provide for a greater foundation for upper-level electives and required courses, and for a broader spectrum of professional applications. The additional laboratory courses will provide students with hands-on training needed to perform environmental monitoring and testing activities central to professional activities. The upper-level technical and design electives for the BSEnvE emphasize several important environmental engineering areas of focus, including bioremediation, sustainability, air pollution, groundwater, and water resources. 2. Will the program require new or special student services? Student services will be handled through the existing CEE Office of Student Services and the Georgia Institute of Technology Dean of Students Office. 3. Will the program be attractive to underserved populations? The existing BSCE program and other engineering degree programs at Georgia Institute of Technology have been among the best in the country at attracting underserved populations. The proposed program will be consistent with these examples. Collaboration It should be noted here that efficient use of state resources is an essential ingredient in new program approval. If there is any doubt about how you will address the questions below, a conference is recommended. 1. If there are similar programs in your service area, how will the proposed program affect them? The BSEnvE was developed with substantial input from units in the College of Sciences (e.g., the Schools of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Biology, and Chemistry & Biochemistry), and with approval from College of Sciences Dean Schuster and other units in the College of Engineering that could potentially be impacted (e.g., Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering). Based on this universal support and interest in contributing to the degree program, we do not anticipate any negative impacts on other programs in our service area. 2. Do you plan a collaborative arrangement with another institution or entity? We plan to collaborate with College of Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, specifically the Schools of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Biology, and Chemistry & Biochemistry, in the sequence of course offerings, recruitment and publicity for the program, and oversight through an Internal Advisory Panel that includes representatives from these units.

In addition to the Atlanta campus, the BSEnvE degree will be offered at Georgia Tech Regional Engineering Program (GTREP). The BSCE degree is currently offered at GTREP and four current faculty members at the Georgia Tech Savannah campus have expertise in coastal/environmental engineering systems. Courses required for the proposed BSEnvE degree are already offered at the GTREP campuses or are projected from the Atlanta campus. Other Are there other elements of the proposed program that might give the staff greater insight into the overall value of this program to the University System strategic plan? The undergraduate environmental engineering program at Georgia Institute of Technology has been ranked 7th by U.S. News and World Report, even though an undergraduate degree is not currently offered in this area. We believe the creation of a distinct BSEnvE degree will bring further recognition to the Institute, and provide a “home” for students with interests in science and engineering, and a desire to preserve and improve our natural resources and meet the needs of a global economy in a sustainable manner.

Section 1: Program Description and Objectives The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) proposes to establish a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Engineering (B.S.Env.E.) that will be offered through the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE). The B.S.Env.E. curriculum will serve as the second ABET-accredited degree program offered by CEE, in addition to the existing Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.). This approach is similar to that employed in the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering, which offers two distinct ABET-accredited undergraduate degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. An ABET-accredited Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (M.S.Env.E.) degree is currently offered by CEE (original accredited in 1962). As part of the development plan for the proposed B.S.Env.E., ABET accreditation will be dropped for the M.S.Env.E. degree. Hence, accreditation of the Environmental Engineering degree program will be at the undergraduate level, consistent with all other ABET-accredited degrees offered by Georgia Tech. This change reflects the maturation of Environmental Engineering as a unique engineering discipline with a separate Professional Engineering (PE) licensing exam, and the need to provide residents of the State of Georgia with an ABET-accredited undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering. Program Mission and Objectives: The mission is to create a quality education, research and service program designed to achieve five major program goals: 1. Educate a new generation of Environmental Engineers to meet the challenges of the

future; 2. Promote a sense of scholarship, leadership and service among our graduates; 3. Create, develop and disseminate new knowledge; 4. Play a leadership role in fostering interdisciplinary education and research programs

fundamental to solving the problems facing a complex society; 5. Provide national leadership to the Environmental Engineering profession that is

increasingly being driven by advances in technology. The B.S.Env.E. curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all students within the context of this mission statement. The Program Educational Objectives associated with this mission are to: 1. Provide an educational experience that prepares students for the challenges of the

Environmental Engineering profession that they will face during their professional careers;

2. Promote scholarship and problem-solving skills; 3. Provide opportunities for our students to exhibit leadership and team-building skills; 4. Promote service to the profession and to society; 5. Incorporate interdisciplinary concepts and problem-solving exercises into the

educational program; 6. Provide exposure to the environmental technologies of today and those likely of

tomorrow.

Program Content The Environmental Engineering profession seeks to manage natural resources and minimize anthropogenic impacts to achieve sustainable growth and development. Environmental Engineers utilize scientific and engineering principles to assess, design and implement environmental systems over a wide range of scales to ensure continued human and ecological health. The proposed undergraduate program in Environmental Engineering recognizes these needs by providing fundamental knowledge of chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering principles which is complemented with the development of communication, team-building, and problem solving skills realized through a combination of hands-on laboratory courses, technical and design electives, and a culminating capstone design experience. Within this context, the following objectives were defined during the development of the Environmental Engineering curriculum: 1. Develop a B.S. degree program that integrates scientific (chemistry, biology, and

physics) and engineering principles to provide students with a fundamental understanding of Environmental Engineering over a range of scales and media types.

2. Provide B.S.Env.E. students with skill sets and engineering tools to address problems encountered in both natural and engineered environmental systems in a sustainable and responsible manner.

3. Foster joint instruction and program guidance between the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering and allied Schools in the College of Sciences and College of Engineering.

4. Develop a comprehensive advisement program to guide students through the core B.S.Env.E. curriculum and assist in the selection of an upper-level elective concentration that provides advanced knowledge in a particular focus area (e.g., bioremediation, water resources, air pollution, sustainability).

To achieve the objectives stated above, the proposed B.S.Env.E. degree will combine existing strengths of CEE and the College of Engineering (COE) with expertise from the College of Sciences (COS), specifically the Schools of Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Earth & Atmospheric Sciences (EAS), to create a comprehensive and highly competitive undergraduate program in Environmental Engineering that will contribute to the strategic plans and missions of Georgia Tech. The proposed B.S.Env.E. curriculum is distinct from the B.S.C.E. in that six science courses are required in the freshman and sophomore years (i.e., 2 Chemistry, 2 Physics, 1 Biology, and 1 Earth & Atmospheric Sciences), and three upper-level laboratory courses are required (i.e., Civil Engineering Materials, Environmental Engineering Laboratory, and Hydraulic Engineering). The additional science courses provide for a greater foundation for upper-level electives and required courses and for a broader spectrum of professional applications. The additional laboratory courses provide students with hands-on training needed to perform environmental monitoring and testing activities central to professional activities. The upper-level technical and design electives for the B.S.Env.E. emphasize

5

several important environmental engineering areas of focus, including bioremediation, sustainability, air pollution, groundwater, and water resources. The proposed program will involve the development of two new courses, CEE 3340: Environmental Engineering Laboratory, and CEE 4395: Environmental Systems Design Project, both of which will be taught by existing CEE faculty. The laboratory course (CEE 3340) will be offered in existing laboratory space, Room 3371 in the Ford Environmental Science and Technology (ES&T) Building. Program Administration and Resource Requirements The proposed B.S.Env.E. curriculum has been developed with recognition of the need to minimize additional resource requirements above those currently allocated to CEE. Overall administration of the program will be overseen by Dr. Joseph Hughes (CEE Chair) and Dr. Laurence Jacobs (CEE Associate Chair of Undergraduate Programs). Additional oversight will be provided by the existing CEE Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, chaired by Dr. Don Webster, and a proposed B.S.Env.E. Curriculum Sub-committee, chaired by Dr. Kurt Pennell. Student services will be handled through the existing CEE Office of Student Services and the Georgia Tech Dean of Students Office. Anticipated Enrollments A steady-state graduation rate (e.g., 5 years from establishment) of approximately 75 students per academic year is anticipated, although this number could be larger depending on popularity of the program and ability to attract new students into the program. Based on current specialization within the existing B.S.C.E. curriculum, we expect that 50% will come from B.S.C.E. pool, and 25% will come from College of Sciences, and 25% will come from undecided engineering majors and within-system transfers such as the Regent’s Engineering Transfer Program (RTEP). Collaborations We intend to collaborate with the Georgia Tech College of Sciences, specifically the Schools of Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Earth & Atmospheric Sciences in the sequence of course offerings, recruitment and publicity for the program, and oversight through an Internal Advisory Panel that will include representatives from each of these units. In addition to the Atlanta campus, the B.S.Env.E. degree will be offered at Georgia Tech Savannah through the Regional Engineering Program (GTREP). The B.S.C.E. degree is currently offered at GTREP, and four current faculty members at the Georgia Tech Savannah campus have expertise in coastal/environmental engineering systems. Courses required for the proposed B.S.Env.E. degree are already offered at the GTREP campuses or will be delivered via distance learning from the Atlanta campus.

Section 2: Justification and Need for the Program a. Environmental Engineering was initially recognized as a sub-specialty within Civil

Engineering in the late 1950’s to early 1960’s. At that time, Environmental Engineering focused primarily on engineered systems for water and wastewater treatment, and thus, was commonly referred to as Sanitary Engineering. Beginning in the late 1970’s, the discipline expanded to address toxic wastes sites that had been contaminated with anthropogenic compounds, such as gasoline, chlorinated organic solvents, and metals. The emphasis was not only on the design of remediation systems to treat these waste sites, but also on understanding the fate, transport and distribution of inorganic and organic contaminants in natural systems. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, the discipline of Environmental Engineering went through a period of rapid growth. In recognition of this increased prominence and the corresponding demand for jobs in environmental consulting, government and industry, many Civil Engineering departments changed their names to Civil & Environmental Engineering, or alternatively, separate Environmental Engineering programs were established. Initially, the educational approach followed by many Environmental Engineering programs in the United States assumed an entry-level degree at the Master’s level. This paradigm has shifted dramatically over the past 10 years, with the establishment of 31 new ABET-accredited undergraduate programs during this period (41 total), and only 8 ABET-accredited programs at the Master’s level. Prominent peer institutions, including Stanford University (2004) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1993), now have ABET-accredited undergraduate programs in Environmental Engineering. One of the key tenets of the College of Engineering (COE) strategic plan is to prepare engineering graduates that are capable of adapting to changing societal needs. The proposed B.S.Env.E. degree program addresses this critical need by providing an educational experience that is based on a fundamental knowledge of scientific disciplines coupled with engineering principles to address emerging environmental engineering issues including sustainable water resources, human health, and environmental toxicology. Existing engineering degree programs offered at Georgia Tech (e.g., B.S.C.E.) do not provide sufficient training in the sciences and application of engineering principles to environmental systems, nor do the existing programs realize opportunities in emerging fields relevant to environmental engineering, such as human health and nanotechnology. The proposed curriculum has been designed to provide students with advanced knowledge in sciences, particularly chemistry and biology, and expanded laboratory training in environmental analytical methods, which are essential to environmental professionals. The curriculum also incorporates technical electives focused on student-selected areas of interest and career objectives (e.g., water resources, bioremediation, air pollution). In summary, the curriculum addresses several limitations inherent to the B.S.C.E. degree with regard to chemistry and biology, while maintaining engineering fundamentals (e.g., statics, dynamics, deformable bodies, fluid mechanics), and providing both technical and culminating engineering design experiences.

7

b. The B.S.Env.E. degree program will attract students for a number of reasons, including: (a) the unique combination of science (biology, chemistry, physics), mathematics, and applied engineering skills, (b) importance of environmental resources (e.g., water, air) for sustainable growth and development, (c) opportunities to restore and prevent human impacts on the environment, and (d) the increasing role of environmental factors in human health. The program will provide a “home” for students with interest and aptitude in science and engineering, and a desire to apply these skills to environmental systems. In addition, the degree will serve as the academic training for Georgia engineering graduates who wish to become licensed Professional Engineers in Environmental Engineering (i.e., PE Exam in Environmental Engineering). There is a growing demand for Professional Engineers in the Environmental Engineering area in the State of Georgia and around the country. We anticipate that this program will not only increase undergraduate enrollment in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, but will also foster interactions between science and engineering disciplines at Georgia Tech.

c. The undergraduate Environmental Engineering program at Georgia Tech is currently

ranked 7th by U.S. News and World Report, even though an undergraduate degree is not currently offered. We believe the creation of a distinct B.S.Env.E. degree will bring further recognition to the Institute, and provide a “home” for students with interests in science and engineering, a desire to preserve and improve our natural resources, and a desire to meet the needs of a global economy in a sustainable manner.

d. In developing this new degree program we have consulted with the External Advisory

Board (EAB) of the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering during regularly scheduled meetings. The Board is in favor of the proposed degree and provided input to the development of the curriculum. Both the visiting ABET-accreditation review team and the CEE Academic Program Review (APR) panel recommended development of an undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering to be offered in addition to the existing B.S.C.E. degree.

e. No ABET-accredited undergraduate degree program in the discipline of

Environmental Engineering is offered in the State of Georgia (see http://www.abet.org/). The University of Georgia, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, offers two ABET-accredited degree programs under the discipline of Agricultural Engineering; Agricultural Engineering (established in 1961) and Biological Engineering (established in 1997). In the Agricultural Engineering (B.S.A.E.) program students select one of five “Areas of Emphasis” (i.e., 15 hours of upper level electives); Electrical and Electrical Systems, Mechanical Systems, Natural Resources Management, Process Operations, or Structural Systems. Similarly, in the Biological Engineering (B.S.B.E.) program students select one of three “Areas of Emphasis” (i.e., 15 hours of upper level electives); Biochemical, Biomedical, or Environmental. The University of Georgia, College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences also offers an undergraduate program in Environmental Science (B.S.E.S.), with specialization in Entomology, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Economics and Management, or Water and Soil Resources.

Additional details related to the University of Georgia programs can be found at http://bulletin.uga.edu/bulletin/ind/degrees.html. The Georgia College & State University and the University of West Georgia both offer a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science (B.S.E.S.). However, the proposed B.S.Env.E. program will represent the only ABET-accredited Environmental Engineering degree offered within the State of Georgia University System.

Section 3: Procedures Used to Develop the Program The undergraduate degree program in Environmental Engineering was developed over a two-year period (Fall 2003 – Fall 2005) and included extensive discussion and revisions at all levels within the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE), including the External Advisory Board (EAB). Considerable effort was made to involve and incorporate recommendations from external units in the College of Engineering (e.g., Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) and College of Sciences (e.g., Schools of Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Earth & Atmospheric Sciences). A chronological summary of the process used to develop the program is provided below. Initial development of the program began in Fall 2003, initiated by Dr. Kurt Pennell, following discussions with, and support from, Dr. Don Giddens (Dean, COE) and Dr. Joe Hughes (Chair, CEE). A preliminary curriculum was developed by Dr. Pennell with internal input provided by a committee of faculty from the Environmental Engineering group (Drs. Kurt Pennell, co-Chair, Mike Saunders, co-Chair, Mike Bergin, and Jim Mulholland), and external support from Dr. Larry Bottomley (School of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Director of Undergraduate Studies) with respect to required and elective chemistry courses. The tentative curriculum was then reviewed by faculty representatives from all CEE groups; Drs. Randy Guensler (Transportation Systems Engineering), Kimberly Kurtis (Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials), Glenn Rix (Geosystems Engineering), Jorge Vanegas (Construction Engineering and Management), and Don Webster (Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Water Resources), and Laurence Jacobs (CEE Associate Chair of Undergraduate Studies). The program justification, objectives, and preliminary curriculum were reviewed by Dr. Don Giddens (Chair, COE) in October 2003, and subsequently presented by Dr. Pennell to the CEE Undergraduate Committee (members at that date: Drs. Don Webster, Chair, Adjo Amekudzi, Leonid Germanovich, Kurt Pennell, Lisa Rosenstein, Don White, Jorge Venagas, and Lawrence Jacobs, ex-officio) for formal consideration in November 2003. The proposed program was reviewed in detail at monthly CEE Undergraduate Curriculum Committee meetings during Spring 2004. Topics discussed included the program name, required chemistry and biology courses, laboratory courses, technical electives, and the design sequence. During this period, meetings were held with representatives from the Schools of Biology (Dr. Marc Weissburg, Chair of Biology Undergraduate Committee), Earth & Atmospheric Sciences (Dr. Judith Curry, School Chair), and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (Dr. Joseph Schork, Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies) to solicit advice regarding specific courses and reach consensus on the program name. Input was also obtained from the CEE EAB (Fall 2004), which recommended that the curriculum contain core engineering fundamentals and a strong design experience. For this reason, a number of fundamental CEE engineering courses (e.g., CEE 3020, Civil Engineering Materials) were retained in the program, as well as a required design elective (e.g., CEE 4310, Water Quality Engineering) and capstone design experience (CEE 4090, Capstone Design). The curriculum was also presented to the CEE External Review Panel (Spring 2005), who strongly supported the

10

program. The External Review Panel specifically noted that program has the potential to increase enrollments and provide greater recognition and opportunities for the School. The program was formally introduced to the CEE faculty in July 2004, and discussed in detail at faculty meetings held in January 2005. A new course (CEE 3340: Environmental Engineering Laboratory) in the curriculum was approved by the CEE faculty. Based on feedback during the faculty meetings, a group of faculty met with the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee in March 2005 to discuss the design course sequence. At this meeting, it was proposed that the design sequence consist of one required design elective (selected from a list of four design courses) and the CEE capstone design course (CEE 4090: Capstone Design). Final modifications were made to the curriculum, which was unanimously approved by the CEE faculty in April 2005. The “Letter of Intent for New Degree” was prepared in May 2005 with assistance from Dr. Ray Vito (Associate Dean for Academic Affairs) in the College of Engineering. The Environmental Engineering curriculum was approved by the Institute Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (Month Day, 2005) and the Institute Academic Senate (Month Day, 2005).

Section 4: Curriculum 4.1 Course of Study The proposed Environmental Engineering curriculum incorporates all of the Board of Regent, Institute, and College of Engineering degree requirements, and is designed to meet ABET requirements under the Environmental Engineering discipline (see Appendix II). To provide students with a strong background in fundamental sciences, six science laboratory courses are required in the freshman and sophomore years (i.e., 2 Chemistry, 2 Physics, 1 Biology, 1 Earth & Atmospheric Sciences). Detailed knowledge of mathematical and engineering principles is achieved by requiring mathematics courses through differential equations (i.e., MATH 1501, 1502, 2401, 2403), and fundamental engineering courses through deformable bodies (i.e., COE 2001, CEE 2040, COE 3001). These engineering courses provide essential knowledge in statics, dynamics and mechanics that are prerequisites for upper-level required, elective, and design courses (e.g., CEE 3040: Fluid Mechanics, CEE 4200: Hydrologic Engineering; CEE 4400: Geotechnical Engineering). To provide hands-on learning experiments three upper-level laboratory courses are required (i.e., CEE 3020: Civil Engineering Materials, CEE 3340: Environmental Engineering Laboratory, CEE 4200: Hydraulic Engineering). The additional laboratory courses provide students with hands-on training needed to perform environmental monitoring and testing activities central to professional activities. The upper-level technical and design electives for the B.S.Env.E. emphasize several important environmental engineering areas of focus, including bioremediation, sustainability, air pollution, groundwater, and water resources. The proposed course of study consists of 127 semester hours (plus 2 hours of Wellness). Table 4.1 lists the courses used to satisfy the Institute’s core requirements. The general breadth courses are listed in Table 4.2. The Environmental Engineering breadth and depth courses are listed in Tables 4.3 (new courses are in bold italics). A sample Program of Study for a typical student is listed in Table 4.4.

Section 5: Inventory of Faculty Involved The faculty involved in the proposed Environmental Engineering undergraduate degree are primarily in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE). CEE currently offers three graduate degrees in Environmental Engineering (a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (M.S.Env.E.), an undesignated Master of Science (M.S.), and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)), and therefore has a strong core of faculty expertise. Additional faculty members that will be involved in the undergraduate program are located in several Schools in the College of Sciences and College of Engineering, as noted. No additional faculty members are needed to implement the proposed undergraduate degree program in Environmental Engineering.

Section 6: Outstanding Undergraduate Environmental Engineering Programs at Peer Institutions The top four undergraduate degree programs in Environmental Engineering, based on the U.S. News and World Report’s rankings, are summarized in this section. The information provided below was obtained from the respective school or department web sites. 1. Stanford University, Stanford, CA, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Degree Name: Environmental Engineering (B.S.), ABET accredited since 2004 (ranked #1 nationally among schools offering Ph.D.) Department website: http://cee.stanford.edu/; http://www.stanford.edu/group/ees/ “The Environmental Engineering profession works to protect and manage our air, water, and energy resources. Environmental engineers quantitatively analyze the environmental changes that inevitably result from human activities, designing strategies to remediate problems, minimize impacts, and measurably improve environmental quality. The Environmental Engineering field is refreshingly multi-disciplinary in nature, combining fundamental principles drawn from physics, chemistry, geology and biology with analytical methods. Practitioners focus on developing devices, techniques and solutions that can effectively address a variety of real-world environmental problems. The mission of the Civil and Environmental Engineering department is to educate the next generation of societal, industrial, and academic leaders and discover knowledge that advances the state of the profession.” The Stanford Environmental Engineering degree, ABET-accredited in 2004, is based on core engineering and water resources coursework, with expanded chemistry requirements (3 courses), similar to the program proposed herein. The most striking differences are in the upper-level electives, with Stanford requiring 3 breadth (selected from 10 courses) and up to 3 free electives. In contrast, we have developed groups of advanced electives in specific areas (e.g., bioremediation, air pollution, and water resources), as well as technical and design electives, which culminates in a capstone design experience. 2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Degree Name: Environmental Engineering Science (B.S.), ABET accredited since 1993 (ranked #2 nationally among schools offering Ph.D.) Undergraduate Program Contact: Prof. Ole Madsen, phone: 617-453-2721 Department website: http://cee.mit.edu/ “There is increasing demand for engineers who understand how to make best use of limited resources in the products and services they design. The department's new undergraduate program recognizes this by providing background in science and engineering fundamentals while also emphasizing hand-on design projects and case studies that provide context and motivation. Students are taught how to combine theory,

21

measurement, and modeling to develop a good understanding of the problem at hand and to point the way to desirable solutions. The Department offers ABET accredited undergraduate degrees in Civil Engineering (1C) and Environmental Engineering (1E) as well as a more flexible Civil and Environmental Engineering degree (1A) for students who do not need ABET accreditation (e.g. pre-meds or students interested in careers in research). All three degrees share a common core, usually taken in the sophomore year, which includes subjects in ecology, mechanics, mathematics, and design. In the junior and senior years students build on the core by taking more specialized subjects in the three degree tracks. There is ample room for individual choice since the departmental unit requirements are among the lowest in the MIT School of Engineering (180-183 units beyond GIRs). This also provides the flexibility needed for minors, study abroad and exploration of interests outside engineering.” Although the MIT core curriculum (freshman and sophomore years) is generally consistent with that of other programs, the number and breadth of upper-level Environmental Engineering courses is minimal, and there appears to be no attempt to offer upper level electives with a particular specialization. 3. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Degree Name: Civil Engineering (B.S.), ABET accredited since 1936, specific degree program in Environmental Engineering not offered, environmental technical electives taken in senior year. (ranked #3 nationally among schools offering Ph.D.) Undergraduate Program Contact: Prof. Radoslaw Michalowski, Phone: 734-764-4106 Department website: http://www.engin.umich.edu/dept/cee/ “Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan is an integrated discipline aimed at creating harmony between the natural and built environments and mitigating natural and man-made hazards. Our mission is to educate the leaders who will design the future infrastructure systems, protect the environment, and engineer a quality of life on a global scale. Our students learn how to fabricate new materials for infrastructure systems that improve security, reliability, and sustainability by engaging multidisciplinary groups, and encouraging technical and non-technical collaborations. Our students also learn how to develop microfluidics sensors and couple bioremediation with physicochemical processes for enhanced treatment of hazardous waste sites. Furthermore, our students learn how to deal with ambiguities in problem definition and contingencies in the process of problem solving. Upon graduation, our students are ready to lead an adaptive, rapidly changing organization, in which engineers of diverse specialties are brought together to act conjunctively and optimize their product by continuous improvement.” University of Michigan provides a traditional Civil Engineering curriculum, with students given the opportunity to select 3 electives from 5 Civil Engineering disciplines in their

22

senior year. There is not a separate degree program or concentration of courses in Environmental Engineering other than two senior-level electives. It is reasonable to conclude that the recognition and reputation of the undergraduate Environmental Engineering program is based, in large part, on the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering graduate program, which has been consistently ranked in the top 3-4 by U.S. News and World Report. 4. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Degree Name: Civil Engineering (B.S.), ABET accredited since 1936, offers a specific degree program in Environmental Engineering. (ranked #4 nationally among schools offering Ph.D.) Department website: http://cee.uiuc.edu/; http://cee.uiuc.edu/environmental/ “Environmental engineers have taken an increasingly important role in activities of the world in recent years, because of the problems related to air, land, and water contamination. Environmental engineers provide treatment facilities that render industrial and human wastes free from contaminants. They design, construct, and operate systems that purify water for drinking, industrial, and recreational uses. They also develop and implement air purification devices and models that describe the transport, transportation, and removal of contaminants in the atmosphere. Solid and hazardous waste management protocols are also developed and implemented by environmental engineers. Many environmental engineers develop plans and conduct research to solve problems related to our rapidly changing technological society and expanding human population. At the undergraduate level at the University of Illinois, Environmental Engineering is a specialization area for students seeking a B.S. degree in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The undergraduate Civil and Environmental Engineering program plan includes both primary and secondary areas of technical specialization. Students whose principal interest is Environmental Engineering take this area as their area of primary specialization. Environmental Engineering is also available as a secondary area to students whose primary area is some other field in Civil Engineering.” Although University of Illinois does not offer an ABET-accredited undergraduate degree in Environmental Engineering, a distinct undergraduate program is offered which is very similar to that proposed herein, in particular the inclusion of primary and secondary technical electives at the upper levels. One important distinction is that Illinois allows students to select 2 science/math/engineering courses from a list of 7 (e.g., Elementary Organic Chemistry, Geology for Engineers, Thermodynamics), whereas the curriculum proposed herein requires almost all of these courses to ensure essential background information necessary for advanced applications of chemical and biological principles in Environmental Engineering.

23

Section 7: Library Resources Students in the B.S.Env.E. program will have unrestricted access to the Georgia Tech library. Given the existing vibrant M.S., M.S.Env.E., and Ph.D. programs in Environmental Engineering, the library currently possesses an extensive collection of books and other materials and subscribes to the important research journals relevant to the Environmental Engineering field. The faculty of the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering will continue to provide advice to the library staff regarding future acquisition and development plans as the field evolves and matures. No significant holding acquisitions are anticipated specifically related to the proposed B.S.Env.E. degree program. The Georgia Institute of Technology Library Resources The Georgia Tech Library and Information Center (www.library.gatech.edu), located on Bobby Dodd Way on the Georgia Tech campus, houses collections of scientific and technical information. It includes over 3.5 million volumes, 2.6 million technical reports, and 700,000 government documents. It is an official depository of the U.S. Government Printing Office and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Library’s goals include increasing the amount and quality of information available on the desktop, increasing productivity, and creation of a rich learning environment for students. The catalog record of the library’s collections is part of the Georgia Tech Electronic Library (GTEL®) and is used by faculty, staff, and students through the campus network. GTEL® also contains abstracts and indexes to contents of journals and conference proceedings in general areas, as well as engineering, science, computing, business, and management. GTEL® is complimented by a campus-wide delivery service of library materials to faculty and staff. The library has access to over 200 databases of citations, abstracts, full text, and numeric data through Galileo, which is funded by the state. The library’s corporate and research services department offers fee-based services to teaching and research faculty on campus and to individuals and businesses outside Georgia Tech. These services include research services, database searching, and reports on specific subjects tailored to meet client needs. The Institute’s membership in the Atlanta Regional Consortium for Higher Education allows access to and delivery of materials from 13 other libraries in the area. Georgia Tech, Emory University, the University of Georgia, and Georgia State University participate in a reciprocal borrowing program to enhance access to information resources for the students and faculty. Georgia Tech students and faculty also may use the libraries of all other institutions in the University System. The Library is a member of the Association of Research Libraries, Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), Solinet, International Association of Technological University Libraries, and the International Federation for Information and Documentation.

Section 9: Facilities The School of Civil & Environmental Engineering has an extensive infrastructure in support of its research and teaching missions. School operations are spread among five buildings. The School hosts sixteen specialized research laboratories across all disciplines of Civil and Environmental Engineering. We are proud of our alumni and industrial support for our many classrooms and offices. The School operates and maintains unique equipment not available to other Schools. Buildings The School of Civil & Environmental Engineering conducts its business in several building on the Georgia Tech Campus. Mason Building - The Jesse W. Mason Building was completed in 1969 and is the main building of the School. The entire complex consists of a 5-story building with an appended 2-story high-bay building, totaling about 51,000 sqft. The building contains classrooms, offices, research laboratories, and the main administrative offices of the School. The Mason Building is named for Jesse Mason, Dean of the College of Engineering during the early 1950's. Lamar Allen Sustainable Education Building (SEB) - The Lamar Allen Sustainable Education Building (SEB) is a 30,000 sq. ft. building that is intended to serve as a “living laboratory” for the education, research, and application of sustainable technologies. SEB was constructed using some of the most up-to-date sustainable materials - products that are produced in a more environmentally sound way and will last longer - available in Georgia. The Sustainable Education Building was built from top to bottom with sustainability principles in mind, adhering to many of the ideas that are now taught inside Tech classrooms. From the networking capabilities to the concrete, the building was built through donations from about 40 businesses and individuals. Opened in 1998, the $4 million facility has a multimedia theater, research labs, computer centers and faculty offices for the School. The building is named for Mr. O. Lamar Allen. Mr. Allen was the visionary who conceived the idea of the SEB to educate future engineers who better understand the relationship between economic development, technology, and the environment. Mr. Allen had the vision of creating a building at Georgia Tech where the areas of environmentally-conscious design could come together with manufacturing and sustainable technologies. Mr. Allen's business leadership helped pull together the consortium of donors to fund the SEB. Mr. Allen died at the age of 49 together with his 16-year-old son, Ashton Lamar Allen, in the explosion of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island, New York on July 17, 1996. Daniel Laboratory Building - The Daniel Environmental Engineering Laboratory (DEEL) was constructed in 1942 and completely renovated in 1995. Originally housing the Chemistry Program at Georgia Tech, the building was reassigned to the Sanitary Engineering Program in 1972. DEEL is an excellent wet-lab facility in a three-story building with approximately 14,500 sq. ft. of usable floor space. The renovation of DEEL was completed with grants to the Environmental Engineering program from the

26

National Science Foundation and the Georgia Research Alliance and with funding from the Board of Regents. The laboratory has extensive analytical capabilities to support educational and research missions within the Environmental Engineering program. Ford Environmental Science and Technology Building - The Ford Environmental Science and Technology Building (Ford ES&T), the largest academic building at Tech with 287,000 sq. ft., is named for its principal donor, the Ford Motor Company. Dedicated in 2002, the Ford ES&T Building is the second of four to open in the Institutes interdisciplinary Life Sciences and Technology Complex. The building contains classrooms and research facilities for the Schools of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Earth & Atmospheric Sciences as well as the disciplines of environmental biology and chemistry. It also holds space for the Advanced Technology & Development Center. The $58 million Ford ES&T Building was built with a combination of state and private funding, with $38 million coming from the State of Georgia, $15 million from private donors and $5 million from the Georgia Research Alliance. The faculty, staff and students in Environmental Engineering have approximately 19,000 sq. ft. of space in the ES&T facility. Structures Laboratory - The Structural Engineering and Materials Laboratory supports experimental research, testing, and evaluation capabilities in separate building with a total area of approximately 18,000 sq. ft. The facility includes a strong floor 174 ft. long, with widths ranging from 41 ft. to 53.5 ft., for a total testing area of over 8,000 sq. ft. The facility is also used for laboratory instruction, specifically for CEE 3020: Civil Engineering Materials.

Section 10: Administration The proposed degree program will be administered by the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE). The School is one of nine schools within the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech. Overall administration of the program will be overseen by Dr. Joseph Hughes (CEE Chair) and Dr. Laurence Jacobs (CEE Associate Chair of Undergraduate Programs). Curriculum issues will be administered by the existing CEE Undergraduate Committee and a proposed sub-committee specific for the B.S.Env.E. A flow chart of the proposed administration hierarchy is shown in Figure 1. The CEE Chair appoints an Undergraduate Curriculum Committee within the School (current members: Drs. Don Webster, Chair, Adjo Amekudzi, Leonid Germanovich, Kurt Pennell, Lisa Rosenstein, Larry Kahn, Sotira Yiacoumi). The Associate Chair of Undergraduate Programs is an ex-officio member of the committee. The specific responsibilities for the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee include consideration of all proposed new courses, texts, curricula modification, and program activities. In addition, the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee is responsible for establishing guidelines for accepting transfer students and the continued development and monitoring of assessment measures for the undergraduate program. The committee presents all of its recommendations to the full faculty of the School for discussion and decision. The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee meets several times per semester. A B.S.EnvE. Curriculum Sub-committee will provide specific oversight of the proposed degree. The CEE Chair will appoint members to the sub-committee, which will be chaired by Dr. Kurt Pennell. Members will include CEE faculty and representatives of the Schools of Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Earth & Atmospheric Sciences. The Sub-committee will make recommendations to the CEE Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, which will consider all recommendations via existing procedures. The proposed B.S.EnvE. curriculum has been developed with recognition of the need to minimize additional resource requirements above those currently allocated to CEE. Student course and degree requirement approvals will be handled by existing staff members in the existing CEE Office of Student Services. Additional student services will be handled through the CEE Office of Student Services and the Georgia Tech Dean of Students Office.

Section 11: Assessment Assessment of the proposed degree program will occur on a systematic basis. First, at the most basic level, student evaluation of individual courses provides a basic benchmark on the degree to which courses in the curriculum are successfully conveying the desired knowledge. Second, at a more general level, measures such as the percentage of CEE students taking and passing the FE exam (the pass rate during the years 2003-2004 averaged 84%), the level of satisfaction expressed by employers and alumni with our graduates through surveys, and faculty assessment of student abilities in teamwork and communications provide an on-going assessment of the degree to which we are successfully meeting our objectives. Areas of importance to the industry, e.g., computer-aided engineering, sustainable development, new materials, and environmental impact assessment, are either incorporated into existing courses or offered in elective courses. Thus, we have the flexibility in the curriculum to incorporate new ideas and concepts that surface from our on-going assessment process. Our assessment strategy incorporates a regular and systematic review of information obtained from students, faculty, alumni, recruiters, employers, the School’s external advisory board, and universities that recruit our students for graduate school. The nature of this information varies from highly formal questionnaires completed by one or more of the sources to ad hoc communications, often oral, involving various aspects of the environmental engineering program. These serve as vehicles for communicating trends in enrollments, developing pedagogies, and student activities at the participating institutions. The following is a list of specific assessment elements evaluated by the School: Course Grades Course grades are the most direct measure of whether or not a student demonstrates the outcomes required for the graded courses. Grades are based, in large part, on a student’s ability to perform on exams, write lab reports, construct solutions to homework assignments and term projects, and meet other criteria defined for each course. Student Evaluations of Teaching Results of an institute-conducted student evaluation of teaching (Course-Instructor Opinion Survey) by the students in each section of each course each semester offers a measure of the quality of teaching and testing in each course. The School Chair uses the results in the annual evaluations of each faculty member. While the survey contains information about many facets of the course, emphasis is given to the item stating that the “instructor was an effective teacher.” Oral Presentations Students in CEE are given many opportunities to create and deliver individual and group presentations. The first opportunity comes in CEE 3000 – Engineering Systems, where students deliver a final group presentation analyzing an engineered system. Additionally, many junior and senior Civil & Environmental Engineering courses incorporate a final

32

presentation as part of the course requirements. The final opportunity comes in our Capstone Design course, CEE4090, where each design group presents its proposed design to the project sponsors and the course instructors. Exit Surveys Graduating seniors are required to complete an Exit Survey, in which they give their views on various aspects of their educational experience. The Exit Survey for the proposed B.S.Env.E. degree is presented in Appendix IV. The survey asks students to assess their preparation in the various areas of environmental engineering, the effectiveness of the faculty members, the students’ preparation in non-technical skills such as oral presentation, the quality of the learning environment, and the effectiveness of our advising program. Exit Interviews While the Exit Survey provides useful information on the views of the graduating seniors on their educational experience, some items cannot be addressed easily in a written survey. For this reason, the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Programs meets with members of each graduating class for exit interviews. The entire graduating class is invited to attend an informal group discussion. While there is a list of “talking points” to generate discussion, the interviews cover any items that the students feel are important. The results of the interviews are summarized by the Associate Chair and reported to the School Chair. In compiling the results, the Associate Chair focuses on common themes expressed by multiple students. In the past, the exit interviews are helpful in obtaining additional information on issues which arise on the exit survey. For instance, students expressed a desire to have a copying facility available for their use in the Mason Building, and a low-cost copying machine was installed on the second floor in October 2001. Alumni Surveys The perspective of the graduating seniors may change after a few years of practicing their profession; therefore, an Alumni Survey is completed every four years of students who have graduated three to five years previously. The longer-term perspective of the respondents provides us a broader view of the quality of our program. Data from these surveys are compiled and compared with previous surveys. They are then reported to the members of the faculty with recommendations for actions toward improvement in the program. Closing the Loop These assessment tools used to evaluate the level of achievement of the program outcomes are applied systematically and the results analyzed against performance criteria established to determine success by the School’s Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and the School Chair. When the data collected by one or more assessment tools indicate a program weakness, the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee formulates options to remedy the weakness or weaknesses. These options are then presented to the faculty for discussion, refinement, and implementation. The assessment tools and their acceptability criteria are periodically re-evaluated to ensure that they remain valid indicators of the achievement of program outcomes.

33

Section 12: Accreditation The accreditation agency for the degree program is the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). ABET’s most current general criteria (Criteria 1 –7) for basic level programs as well as program criteria (Criterion 8) for Environmental Engineering can be found in Appendix II. The following details how the proposed degree program meets these ABET criteria. The expected student outcomes (Section 4.2i) as well as the assessment of the program (Section 11) were formulated to specifically address ABET Criteria 1, 2, and 3. These outcomes and assessment measures were based on the existing ABET-approved degree program in Civil Engineering within the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering. The core curriculum requirements of the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech are designed to meet ABET Criterion 4. Criteria 5, which states the need for sufficient faculty size with a sufficiently broad range of expertise and proper facilities, is addressed in Section 5. Section 9 addresses the facilities available to the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, which are sufficient for the program to satisfy Criterion 6. Criterion 7 raises the issues of the availability of adequate institutional support and financial resources. Section 15 of this proposal specifically addresses these issues. Criterion 8 contains specific program criteria for the Environmental Engineering degree programs. We are confident that the required courses in the proposed curriculum, as shown in Tables 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3 of Section 4, will satisfy ABET’s curriculum requirements. Following Board or Regents approval, the proposed program will be implemented and students will be recruited. Upon completion of the degree requirements by the first graduating class, the program will be submitted to ABET for accreditation consideration. Coincidentally, we will work with ABET to remove accreditation of the M.S.Env.E. program.

34

Section 13: Affirmative Action Impact The School of Civil & Environmental Engineering operates in conformance to the affirmative action policies, procedures, and objectives of Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech has a diverse student body and is in compliance with all federally-mandated affirmative action requirements. Recruitment of undergraduate students for the B.S. degree will reflect a commitment to achieving a diverse and representative population. Faculty and staff recruitment and hiring has a similar commitment from Georgia Tech’s administration. It is anticipated that this B.S. program will attract a significant number of female and minority students. In Fall 2005, of the approximately 7026 students pursuing undergraduate engineering degrees at Georgia Tech, about 20.4% are female and 13.3% are under-represented minorities. It should be noted that Georgia Tech is one of the leaders in the nation in graduating minority engineers.

35

Section 14: Degree Inscription The degree will read: “Georgia Institute of Technology Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering” and will be signed by the President and Registrar of Georgia Tech, as will as the Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. The CIP Code will be 14.1401 (Environmental Engineering).

36

Section 15: Fiscal and Enrollment Impact and Estimated Budget The B.S. degree will be a part of the overall educational and research activities of the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Georgia Tech. Thus, in the tabulated enrollment and fiscal data, we focus on those aspects that are incremental to CEE as a result of the proposed B.S. degree, highlighting data specific to Georgia Tech.

CRITERIA FOR ACCREDITING ENGINEERING PROGRAMS ABET ENGINEERING ACCREDITATION COMMISSION

2005-2006 Accreditation Cycle

These criteria are intended to assure quality and to foster the systematic pursuit of improvement in the quality of engineering education that satisfies the needs of constituencies in a dynamic and competitive environment. It is the responsibility of the institution seeking accreditation of an engineering program to demonstrate clearly that the program meets the following criteria. I. GENERAL CRITERIA FOR BASIC LEVEL PROGRAMS Criterion 1. Students The quality and performance of the students and graduates are important considerations in the evaluation of an engineering program. The institution must evaluate student performance, advise students regarding curricular and career matters, and monitor student’s progress to foster their success in achieving program outcomes, thereby enabling them as graduates to attain program objectives. The institution must have and enforce policies for the acceptance of transfer students and for the validation of courses taken for credit elsewhere. The institution must also have and enforce procedures to assure that all students meet all program requirements. Criterion 2. Program Educational Objectives Although institutions may use different terminology, for purposes of Criterion 2, program educational objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve. Each engineering program for which an institution seeks accreditation or reaccreditation must have in place: (a) detailed published educational objectives that are consistent with the mission of the

institution and these criteria (b) a process based on the needs of the program's various constituencies in which the

objectives are determined and periodically evaluated (c) an educational program, including a curriculum that prepares students to attain

program outcomes and that fosters accomplishments of graduates that are consistent with these objectives

(d) a process of ongoing evaluation of the extent to which these objectives are attained, the result of which shall be used to develop and improve the program outcomes so that graduates are better prepared to attain the objectives.

Criterion 3. Program Outcomes and Assessment Although institutions may use different terminology, for purposes of Criterion 3, program outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that student acquire in their matriculation through the program.

48

Each program must formulate program outcomes that foster attainment of the program objectives articulated in satisfaction of Criterion 2 of these criteria. There must be processes to produce these outcomes and an assessment process, with documented results, that demonstrates that these program outcomes are being measured and indicates the degree to which the outcomes are achieved. There must be evidence that the results of this assessment process are applied to the further development of the program. Engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within

realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability

(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) an ability to communicate effectively (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a

global, economic, environmental, and societal context (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for

engineering practice. In addition, an engineering program must demonstrate that its students attain any additional outcomes articulated by the program to foster achievement of its education objectives. Criterion 4. Professional Component The professional component requirements specify subject areas appropriate to engineering but do not prescribe specific courses. The faculty must ensure that the program curriculum devotes adequate attention and time to each component, consistent with the outcomes and objectives of the program and institution. The professional component must include: (a) one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline (b) one and one-half years of engineering topics, consisting of engineering sciences and engineering design appropriate to the student's field of study. The engineering sciences have their roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward creative application. These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs. (c) a general education component that complements the technical content of the curriculum and is consistent with the program and institution objectives.

49

Students must be prepared for engineering practice through the curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints. Criterion 5. Faculty The faculty is the heart of any educational program. The faculty must be of sufficient number; and must have the competencies to cover all of the curricular areas of the program. There must be sufficient faculty to accommodate adequate levels of student-faculty interaction, student advising and counseling, university service activities, professional development, and interactions with industrial and professional practitioners, as well as employers of students. The program faculty must have appropriate qualifications and must have and demonstrate sufficient authority to ensure the proper guidance of the program and to develop and implement processes for the evaluation, assessment, and continuing improvement of the program, its educational objectives and outcomes. The overall competence of the faculty may be judged by such factors as education, diversity of backgrounds, engineering experience, teaching experience, ability to communicate, enthusiasm for developing more effective programs, level of scholarship, participation in professional societies, and licensure as Professional Engineers. Criterion 6. Facilities Classrooms, laboratories, and associated equipment must be adequate to accomplish the program objectives and provide an atmosphere conducive to learning. Appropriate facilities must be available to foster faculty-student interaction and to create a climate that encourages professional development and professional activities. Programs must provide opportunities for students to learn the use of modern engineering tools. Computing and information infrastructures must be in place to support the scholarly activities of the students and faculty and the educational objectives of the program and institution. Criterion 7. Institutional Support and Financial Resources Institutional support, financial resources, and constructive leadership must be adequate to assure the quality and continuity of the engineering program. Resources must be sufficient to attract, retain, and provide for the continued professional development of a well-qualified faculty. Resources also must be sufficient to acquire, maintain, and operate facilities and equipment appropriate for the engineering program. In addition, support personnel and institutional services must be adequate to meet program needs. Criterion 8. Program Criteria Each program must satisfy applicable Program Criteria (if any). Program Criteria provide the specificity needed for interpretation of the basic level criteria as applicable to a given discipline. Requirements stipulated in the Program Criteria are limited to the areas of curricular topics and faculty qualifications. If a program, by virtue of its title, becomes subject to two or more sets of Program Criteria, then that program must satisfy

50

each set of Program Criteria; however, overlapping requirements need to be satisfied only once.
