Approval of Minutes: Boyd Lanier made a motion to accept the minutes of the last meeting. Lula Henry seconded the motion, and it carried.

 

  • Chemical Engineering Degree Plan
    • The plan is missing history 1301. It has both a fine arts elective and a creative arts elective—taking out the fine arts elective allows space for history.
    • Use the standard degree plan format (group the core, major and elective classes together).
    • Move the 1000 and 2000 classes into the first two years.
    • Boyd Lanier made a motion to approve the plan with corrections, especially adding the history and removing the fine arts elective. Stefan Andrei seconded the motion, and it carried.
