  1. BE Curriculum Update • Curriculum Review and Update for • Impediments • Relevance • Opportunity

  2. Impediment – 1 • BAE 202 – Introduction to Biological and Agricultural Engineering Methods • “Introduction to experimental design methodology, basic engineering design and problem solving methodology for Biological Engineering. Visualization skills, computer-aided 3-D solid modeling of parts, 3-D assembly of solid part geometries, computation of mass properties, 2-D engineering drawings, engineering design process, safety, tools and fabrication processes and design, and hands-on shop fabrication of semester project.” • Can it be scaled up?

  3. Solution • Start a new version for environmental engineering students • BAE 203 – Intro. to AutoCAD & ArcMap • BAE 204 – Intro. to Eco. & Env. Eng.

  4. Impediment 2 • ECE 331 – Principles of Electrical Engineering • Concepts, units and methods of analysis in electrical engineering. Analysis of d-c and a-c circuits, characteristics of linear and non-linear electrical devices; principles of operational amplifiers; transformers; motors; and filters. • Taught from a theoretical viewpoint

  5. Solution • BAE 305 – Circuits for Biological Engineers • Theoretical and practical • Hands-on lab • Biological Engineering examples

  6. Relevance • BAE 315 – Properties of Biological Engineering Materials • “Physical properties of biological and non-biological engineering materials, their uniqueness and variability within systems. Relationships between plant, animal, and human tissues, property measurement, and evaluation of dimensional, mechanical, rheological, thermal, electrical, and optical properties.” • Important material that is covered in other courses.

  7. Concentration Changes - Ag • No Advanced Biological Engineering Elective • BAE 463 – Postharvest Engineering

  8. Concentration Changes - Biop • No Introductory Course • BAE 321 – Bioprocess Engineering Fundamentals – An introduction to the interdisciplinary approach and engineering concepts behind useful food, chemical, energy, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. Topics cover include fundamentals behind units, dimensions and engineering properties, stoichiometry, mass and energy balances, rheology, mixing, reaction kinetics and unit operations.

  9. Concentration Changes - Env • A unique opportunity was identified.
