New course proposals

The following new course proposals have been submitted to the Faculty Senate Office for review and approval and are listed here for faculty review and comment. Comments on any new course proposal should be submitted to Ernest May, secretary of the Faculty Senate, at senate@senate.umass.edu.

E&C-ENGIN 688Y, “Graduate Project,” 3 credits; Instructor: C. V. Hollot (or R. W. Jackson, R. Tessier); This is the first semester of a two-semester project where a student works with a faculty advisor on a project which is suitable for six graduate credits. The project can be a design, experimental, simulation, or theoretical. Although the overall project requires a proposal, a final report, and a final presentation, the first semester requires only a proposal and satisfactory progress toward final completion. The grade for 688Y will be either Y, P, or F. At the completion of E&C-ENGIN 688P, the Y grade will be changed to a letter grade.

E&C-ENGIN 688P, “Graduate Project,” 3 credits; Instructor: C.V. Hollot (or R. W. Jackson, R. Tessier); This course is the second semester continuation of a two-semester project that was started in E&C-ENGIN 688Y. During 688Y/688P, a student works with a faculty advisor on a project which is suitable for six graduate credits. The project can be design, experimental simulation, or theoretical. The overall project grade is based on the project proposal, a final report, and a final presentation.
