Subject: FW: Call for Proposals: New Academic Programs in Indianapolis

Dear Engineering Heads,

The College of Engineering is soliciting ideas from faculty for new academic programs in Indianapolis that would thrive in the Indy ecosystem in the next 5 years.

As the first step, we invite ideas for

(a) new undergraduate degrees, or

(b) new Professional MS degrees, and

(c) new training/certificate programs (non-credit or non-degree granting, e.g. industry training)

Programs should address the following:
*             Market responsive to central Indiana needs and opportunities and differentiate Purdue from competitors, and
*             Involve a critical collaborative core of faculty from WL and Indy, and
*             Align with current or future proposed research centers/institutes and likely to attract PUWL faculty to conduct research primarily in Indy based on unique advantages of Indiana's capital urban environment.

To propose new programs ideas, please develop a 2-3 page proposal due February 21st, 2025, including the following info:

*             Curricula type (degree, major, certificate, concentration)
*             Level (undergraduate or graduate)
*             Rationale. Why is the program needed? How does the program take advantage of opportunities in Indianapolis? What is unique and distinctive about the program?
*             Evidence of student interest in the program
*             Anticipated careers and first positions
*             Description of similar programs at other institutions
*             Projected AY start
*             Projected instructional needs including classroom space, equipment, and technology
*             Projected faculty/instructor needs to support the program
*             Draft plan of study/requirements list

Proposals should be send to Sherrie Tucker, tucker76 at purdue.edu<mailto:tucker76 at purdue.edu> with cc to Nik Chawla (nikc at purdue.edu<mailto:nikc at purdue.edu>). Questions can be addressed to me, Associate Dean Tamara Kinzer-Ursem (tursem at purdue.edu<mailto:tursem at purdue.edu>), and/or Associate Dean Bill Oakes (oakes at purdue.edu<mailto:oakes at purdue.edu>).

Regards,

Nik
