TO:                 Engineering Faculty

FROM:           The Faculty of the School of Civil Engineering

RE:                 Changes in Undergraduate Level Course CE 352 Prerequisites

The faculty of the School of Civil Engineering has approved the following changes in the prerequisites of an undergraduate level course.  This action is now submitted to the Engineering Faculty with a recommendation for approval.

From:             CE 352 Biological Principles of Environmental Engineering

                        Sem. 1 and 2. Class 2, lab.2, cr. 3

Prerequisites: CHM 257; Completion of freshman engineering requirements. Authorized equivalent courses or consent of instructor may be used in satisfying course pre- and co-requisites

Introduction and application of environmental microbiological concepts to the solution of problems of water pollution and its control.

To:                  CE 352 Biological Principles of Environmental Engineering

                         Sem. 1 and 2. Class 2, lab.2, cr. 3

Prerequisites:  Completion of First Year Engineering requirements.

Introduction and application of environmental microbiological concepts to the solution of problems of water pollution and its control.

Reason:          

The basic science requirements in the First-Year Engineering Program provide sufficient technical background for students to take CE 352.  This modification will enable more civil engineering undergraduates to include this class in their technical elective program of study.
