UCO Background • 1919 – Name change to Central State Teacher’s College – expanded to offer four year degrees. • 1939 – Name change to Central State College – also could offer B.A. and B.S. • 1941 – Became part of System overseen by Oklahoma Regents for Higher Ed. (still is)
UCO Background • ???? - Name change to Central State University (offered some Master’s Degrees) • 1991 – Name change to University of Central Oklahoma • 3rd largest university in the state (~ 15,000) • Five Colleges - CAMD, CBA, COE, COLA, CMS • Still train large number of future teachers • Now educate students in very diverse and unique areas • Funeral Service, Forensic Science, and Biomedical Engineering (all in CMS)
OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION (OSRHE) • Subdivisions • BOR for the Oklahoma A&M Colleges • Connors State, Langston, NEO, Panhandle State, all OSU campuses • BOR of Oklahoma Colleges • UCO, NSU, ECU, SWOSU, NWOSU, SEOSU • BOR of University of Oklahoma • All campuses (Cameron Univ., Med. School)

Dept. of Physics and Engineering • Originally part of Physical Science Dept. (Physics and Chemistry) • Standalone Physics Dept. in 1950’s (Dr. Marks) • 1960s – mid 1970’s build up (physics jobs abound) • 1980’s – physics majors, but take engineering science courses • Late 1980’s – Master’s Program • 1990’s – More Engineering – • 2000 Engr. Phys. // 2001 BME // 2002 M.S. in EP • EP (three options) – • EP – Engineering Physics (Standard) • EPS – Engineering Physics Sciences • EP – Engineering Physics Technology
EP Curriculum Changes • See new UCO Course Catalog - http://www.busn.ucok.edu/academicaffairs/Catalogs/2003-2004undergraduatecatalog.htm • If you have any questions see • General = Me (Dr. Lemley) 221L elemley@ucok.edu • General = Dr. Miller // 221A // rmiller@ucok.edu • BME = Dr. Chen // 221G // wchen@ucok.edu • Web-site needs to be updated. • Course Flow-Charts help see everything • EP (done); EPS and BME (not finished) • Significant Near Future Changes – EPT, BME
