PROFESSOR RICHARD C. BENSON, Head, Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is the science of understanding, and art of design of mechanisms and engines. Mechanisms are devices composed of solid, fluid, electrical, and optical components that perform specified tasks. Examples include: robots, tape drives, earth movers, clocks, sports equipment, energy-absorbing bumpers, acoustic sensors, low-friction bearings, high-friction brakes, automated inspection equipment, satellite positioners, and artificial hips. Engines are devices that convert (or conserve) thermal and mechanical energy to perform specified tasks. Examples include: internal combusion engines, jet engines, missile launchers, heat exchangers, refrigerators, ovens, ventilators, pumps, turbines, solar heaters, compressors, hydraulic actuators, insulation and explosively deployed air bags.
The Mechanical Engineering program prepares students for a rewarding career in one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Since the industrial revolution, mechanical engineers have found themselves at the forefront of technology development and applications. The curriculum has been designed to fulfill educational objectives consistent with both the theoretical underpinnings of the field and current industry practice. Specifically, upon graduation, our students will:
The program offers a balance of engineering applications and theory with an emphasis on design from the first year through the industry-based capstone design experience in the senior year. In addition, mechanical engineering students find it easy to incorporate co-operative educational experiences as well as many minors into their program.
For the B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, a minimum of 137 credits is required.

PROFESSOR RICHARD C. BENSON, Head, Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering
PROFESSOR JACK S. BRENIZER, JR., Program Chair, Nuclear Engineering Program
Nuclear engineering, the practical application of the principles of nuclear science for the benefit of humankind, provides the engineer or scientist with an opportunity to work on challenging problems that are vitally important to the modern world. The goal of the program is to provide students with a strong academic background that enables them to pursue professional careers in nuclear and radiation-based industries, or to pursue graduate study in nuclear engineering or related fields such as medical physics, health physics, or another field of engineering.
Upon graduation, our students will:
The first two years of the program stress fundamentals in mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer programming, and engineering sciences such as mechanics, materials, and thermodynamics. The last two years provide the breadth and depth in nuclear science, behavior of heat and fluids, reactor theory and engineering, and radiation measurement. The laboratory work includes experiments using the University's 1,000-kilowatt research reactor. Engineering design is incorporated in many courses from the freshman year to the senior year, but is particularly emphasized in the senior capstone design course, which integrates the critical elements of reactor theory, reactor engineering, safety considerations and economic optimization into a reactor design.
Many graduates are employed by electric power companies that use nuclear power plants, or by companies that help service and maintain those plants. They use their knowledge of engineering principles, radioactive decay, interactions of radiation with matter, and nuclear reactor behavior to help assure that the power plants meet the demand for reliable, economic electricity while ensuring a safe environment. To do this, graduates must be problem solvers who could develop and use complex computer models and sophisticated monitoring systems, design systems to handle radioactive waste, determine if the materials in the plant are becoming brittle or corroded, or manage the fuel in the reactor to get the maximum energy from it. Other graduates work in industries that use radioactivity or radiation to detect problems or monitor processes. Jobs are also found in branches of the government as designers of the next generation of reactors for submarines, aircraft carriers, or space probes, or to manage and clean up contaminated wastes. They could also be involved with regulation of nuclear power or radiation uses, or in research to develop advanced technologies that will be used in next-generation power plants. Graduates who want to further their education in the fields of health physics, radiation biology, or nuclear medical applications find this degree to be a useful preparation.
For the B.S. degree in Nuclear Engineering, a minimum of 129 credits is required.

UNDERGRADUATE
Eberly College of Science
31-01-123 Add Integrated B.S in Statistics and Master of Applied Statistics (M.A.S.) program.
Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2003
The Department of Statistics proposes to establish an Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree that would combine the BS in Statistics and Master in Applied Statistics (M.A.S.) to be completed in five years. This degree will enable a select number of highly qualified and career-oriented students to obtain trainings in statistics focused on developing data analysis skills and exploration of core areas of applied statistics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. M.A.S. degree is a professional master's degree that emphasizes application and does not provide deep training in the mathematical statistics foundation. The degree prepares students with interests in mathematics, computation, and the quantitative aspects of science for careers in industry and government as statistical analyst. Research divisions in the pharmaceutical industry, quality control and quality engineering divisions in manufacturing companies, clinical research units, corporate planning and research units, and other data-intensive positions require persons with training in mathematics, computation, database management, and statistical analysis, which this program will provide.
The Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) degree with B.S. in Statistics and Master of Applied Statistics (M.A.S.) is designed to be completed in five years. This integrated degree will enable a select number of highly qualified and career-oriented students to obtain training in statistics focused on developing data analysis skills and exploration of core areas of applied statistics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The M.A.S. degree is a professional master's degree that emphasizes applications and does not provide as much training in the mathematical and statistical theory. The degree prepares students with interests in mathematics, computation, and the quantitative aspects of science for careers in industry and government as statistical analyst. Research divisions in the pharmaceutical industry, quality control and quality engineering divisions in manufacturing companies, clinical research units, corporate planning and research units, and other data-intensive positions require persons with training in mathematics, computation, database management, and statistical analysis, which this program will provide.
Application Process
The number of openings in the integrated BS/M.A.S. Program is limited. Admission

GRADUATE
31-01-126 Change Agricultural, Environmental and Regional Economics (AEREC) M.S. and M.Agr. degree programs by adding an option in Watershed Stewardship.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2002
The graduate program emphasizes economic theory and quantitative methods as applied to the food and agricultural system, natural resources and the environment, and regional economics and economic development.
Graduate assistantships and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Watershed Stewardship Option
MS and M.Agr. students in this program may elect the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship. This option provides enhanced educational opportunities for students with an interest in water resources management. The Watershed Stewardship Option attracts students from several graduate programs and educates them to facilitate team-oriented, community-based watershed management planning directed at water resource problems. The Watershed Stewardship Option is coordinated with similar options in other graduate programs through the Center for Watershed Stewardship. The MS degree in Agricultural, Environmental and Regional Economics taken with the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship requires 40 credits of graduate course work: 19 credits of required ECON or AEREC courses and the following from the Watershed Stewardship Option: 6 credits of breadth courses, 3 credits of environmental economics, 1 credit of Watershed Stewardship Seminar (FOR 591A or FOR 591B or LArch 510.2), and 8 credits of Watershed Stewardship Practicum I and 11 (FOR 570 and FOR 571 or LARCH 540.2 and LARCH 550.2). Breadth courses consist of 3 credits of graduate course work from the water resources science list and 3 credits from either the humanities list or the communications/design list. For MS students, the 3 credits in Resource and Environmental Economics I (AEREC 519) are required.
The M.Agr. Degree in Agricultural, Environmental and Regional Economics taken with the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship requires 37 credits of graduate course work: 31 credits in the major and 18 credits in the option. Twelve credits may be counted in both the major and the option resulting in a total of 37 credits for the M.Agr. Degree with Option in Watershed Stewardship. For M.Agr. Students, the 3 credits in environmental economics must be selected from Economic Analysis of Environmental and Resource Policies (AG EC 401), Natural Resource Economics (AG EC 402) or Resource and Environmental Economics I (AEREC 519).
In both degree programs the watershed stewardship practicum courses provide students with experience working in multi-disciplinary teams with community, government, and business leaders to analyze and understand natural resource problems and creatively synthesize appropriate solutions in a written watershed management plan.
Lists of acceptable water resources science, humanities, and communication/design courses are maintained by the Center for Watershed Stewardship. Students may petition the Agricultural, Environmental and Regional Economics Graduate Program Committee and the Center for Watershed Stewardship to substitute higher level or equivalent courses to suit their specific backgrounds and goals. Courses taken for the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship may be used to satisfy other equivalent (400- or 500-level) degree requirements in the Agricultural, Environmental and Regional Economics graduate program with the concurrence of their adviser and the Agricultural, Environmental and Regional Economics Graduate Program Committee. The graduate committee for a student enrolled in the Option in Watershed Stewardship must include a faculty representative from the Center for Watershed Stewardship.
31-01-127 Add Master of Architecture program.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2002
Degree Conferred: M.Arch
The Master of Architecture program provides emphases in three areas central to the school: Architectural Theory and Design, Comniunity and Urban Design, and Digital Design. The program allows opportunities for graduate students to assist in undergraduate courses and work with the two endowed centers: the Hamer Center for Community Design Assistance and the Stuckeman Center for Design Computing. In addition, selected students can also participate in the Department's Rome Program. The Master of Architecture is an academic degree, and is currently not professionally accredited. It is intended for students with professional degrees in architecture, and in exceptional cases, for students with iionprofessional architectural degrees who seek to develop a better understanding of architecture. The Master of Architecture program is specially designed for students interested in advanced studies in Architectural Theory and/or Design. It is expected that such students have previously studied the technical and professional aspects of architectural practice and \are primarily interested in strengthening the intellectual underpinning of their work through intensive studio investigations, design applications, and rigorous theoretical inquiry.
In addition to the application to the University for admission to the Graduate School, all applicants must submit the following to the Department of Architecture:
A graduate student may be able to complete the requirements for the M.Arch degree in one year. Those students who are awarded an assistantship will require more than two semesters to complete the requirements for the M.Arch degree. Directed Electives include courses related to one of the three options from other disciplines, such as Landscape Architecture, Geography, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology, and Computer Science, as well as within the architecture department. Architectural Research (Arch 591) is specifically geared to one of the three options and counts toward the 12 credits necessary to satisfy the option within the major. The thesis requirement can be fulfilled in two ways: through a written thesis, which conforms to the scholarly standards of the graduate school, or through a design project that tests theoretical ideas. A written monograph will accompany all thesis design projects.
31-01-128 Drop M.S. in Architecture.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2004
The Master of Science is an academic degree; it is not a professionally accredited degree. It is intended for students with professional degrees in architecture and, in exceptional cases, for students with non-professional architectural degrees who seek to develop a better understanding of the principles and theory that underlie the profession of architecture. The program emphasizes the application of theory and inquiry to architectural and urban design. Advanced study is offered in selected areas defined by faculty expertise such as: architectural theory; computer application and representation; design/planning methods; urban design; environment-behavior theory; and the design of public spaces. The program is small and flexible and offers the opportunity to pursue individual goals, independent inquiry and research, and interdisciplinary study.
The Graduate School establishes specific requirements regarding the TOEFL exam for international students. In addition to those requirements, the Department of Architecture requires that international students whose first language is not English or who have not received baccalaureate or master's degrees from an institution in which the language of instruction is English must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and the Test of Spoken English (TSE). A score on the TOEFL of 580 or higher and on the TSE of 250 or higher is required for regular admission. Applicants with scores on the TOEFL below 580 but above 550 or on the TSE below 250 but higher than 215 may be admitted provisionally.
Students with a 3.00 junior/senior grade-point average (on a 4.00 scale) and with appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission. Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests.
All applicants must submit (1) a minimum of three statements of recommendation from faculty members acquainted with the applicant's academic history and/or recommendations by an undergraduate review committee; (2) a paper of no more than 500 words, consisting primarily of a description of the applicant's professional goals, his or her desired areas or subjects of study, and the area(s) of anticipated research or inquiry; and (3) a portfolio of design work (architecture and planning projects) executed at the undergraduate level or under professional guidance, or independently, provided that such work can be evidenced as executed by the applicant. A minimum portfolio representation of one project for each year of academic undergraduate study, or its equivalent, is required.
The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students.
31-01-129 Change M.A. in Art History as indicated with underlining.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2002
Graduate work is offered in the following areas: Ancient, Byzantine, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Modern, and American art and architectural history.

Special emphasis will be given to the verbal part of the GRE scores. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Candidates with a 3.00 junior/senior grade-point average and a minimum of 21 credits in art history will be considered for admission to the master's program. Lacking these, a promising candidate may be accepted on condition that deficiencies be remedied, but without graduate degree credit. Applicants to the Ph.D. program must have an M.A. in art history or a closely related field. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students.
Candidates for the M.A. degree are required to complete a minimum total of 36 credits, (including a Master's thesis or paper), divided as follows:
In addition, candidates must demonstrate a reading proficiency in two foreign languages. One of these languages must be German, and the other being French, Italian or Spanish. On the recommendation of the student's adviser, and with the approval of the graduate officer, a student may substitute one of the above named languages with another foreign language deemed appropriate for a specialized field. Proficiency in one language must be demonstrated before the end of one year of study. A reading knowledge of the second language must be demonstrated before the end of the second year. A master's examination must also be passed before completing the M.A. degree.
31-01-130 Add new minor. One new course was created for this program: SWENG 545.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2002
The interdisciplinary graduate minor in bioinformatics is administered by the Engineering Division at Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies. The minor offers an opportunity for students to pursue a focused set of graduate courses and gain core competency and experience in informatics, statistics, and ethics as they relate to the field of biotechnology. Students can then focus their attention on an appropriate elective track within the minor. For example, tracks exist in information, manufacturing, and business.
The minor requires 15 graduate credits, including a 9-credit core curriculum as constituted by STAT 509 Biostatistics, SWENG 552 Bioinformatics, and an appropriate Ethics class selected from BUSAD 534 Ethical Dimensions of Management in the Biotechnology and Health Industry, BUSAD 576 Ethical Dimensions in Information Technology, or STS 589 Ethics and Values in Science and Technology.
Students complete the minor by selecting 6 further credits according to their selected elective track as follows:
Information Track - select 2 courses from IN SC 521, IN SC 525, and SWENG 545
Manufacturing Track - select 2 courses from IE 550, IE 532, and IE 566
Business Track - requires BUSAD 530, plus 1 course selected from BUSAD 516, MKTG 516, or BUSAD 583
Students may apply only 9 credits from this minor towards their major program. As part of the application process to the minor, students may be required to schedule additional preparatory courses that are not applicable to either their major or minor programs of study.
More details and application materials may be found at www.gv.psu.edu/bioinformatics
31-01-131 Change name of program from Speech Communication to Communication Arts and Sciences. Change courses as listed below.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2002
Students may specialize in communication theory or rhetoric.
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required for admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
The minimum undergraduate preparation is 12 credits in speech. Students who cannot meet this requirement in full may be admitted but must make up their deficiencies without credit toward the graduate degree. Additionally, students with a 3.00 junior/senior grade-point average (on a 4.00 scale) and appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students. Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests. A student must have completed the master's degree before being admitted as a doctoral candidate.
Students pursuing the M.A. degree in Communication Arts and Sciences must take
one of two options: (1) a thesis track, or (2) a nonthesis track. In either
track, candidates must schedule a review of their program of courses during
the first year of residence and receive approval by a duly constituted advisory
committee.
For those taking the thesis option, a total of 30 credits, including 6 for
the thesis and 24 other 500-level credits, is required. Candidates in this track
must schedule a proposal meeting in which their research plan for their thesis
is approved by their committee. They are also required to present an oral defense
before their committee.
Students taking the second option must complete 36 credits of course work, of which 18 credits must be at the 500 level, a comprehensive examination, and a master's paper that entails original research. The candidate's advisory committee will determine whether the requirements for the comprehensive examination and M.A. paper have been successfully completed. These determinations ordinarily will not require an oral examination.

Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2002
This intercollege program emphasizes the properties of ecosystems by focusing
attention on interactions of single organisms, populations, and communities
with their environment. It is designed to give students a basic understanding
of ecological theory and hypothesis testing and is complementary to other environmental
programs that emphasize the human role in ecosystems.
The program is administered by a committee drawn from faculty members in several
departments and colleges of the University. This committee and its chair are
appointed by the dean of the Graduate School. The instructional staff is composed
of participating faculty in those departments offering graduate courses in fields
closely allied to ecology.
The advisory committee is selected by the candidate and his/her adviser and
approved by the Graduate School. The committee has the responsibility for determining
the course program and research acceptable in satisfying degree requirements.
Four options for specialization are offered: Quantitative Ecology, Microbial Ecology, Conservation Biology and Physiological Ecology. Students are not required to select an option. The quantitative ecology option includes mathematical and statistical modeling and applications of statistics to experimental design and data analysis. The microbial ecology option includes basic aquatic and soil microbial ecology and applications to recycling of materials and release of genetically engineered organisms. The conservation biology option is concerned with problems of maintaining the rapidly disappearing diversity of organisms and their habitats, and the global reservoir of genetic diversity that these organisms represent. The physiological ecology option is concerned primarily with the function and performance of organisms in their environment. Each option entails extra course requirements plus a thesis directed by an ecology faculty member in the option. Additional information can be obtained from the option coordinators.
Scores from the Grade Record Examination (GRE), including verbal, quantitative,
and advanced biology test, are required for admission. Requirements listed here
are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the General
Information section of the Graduate Bulletin. Candidates should have a strong
science background, including chemistry through organic chemistry, mathematics
through calculus, physics, and biology. A limited number of such courses can
be made up while the student is pursuing graduate student.
Students with a background in another discipline that has potential value to
original ecological work will be seriously considered. A junior/senior grade-point
average of 3.00 or better (on a 4.00 scale) is required.
Students are strongly urged to choose their research interests and initiate
communication with the relevant faculty member(s) before applying for admission.
A student will not be admitted without the commitment of a faculty member to
serve as the student's research adviser. Teaching and research assistantships
are available only through the student's faculty adviser.
The top sheet (white copy) of the application and application fee are to be sent to the Graduate School. The applicant should forward the following directly to the program chair: (1) pink copy of the application; (2) three or more letters of recommendation regarding the student's academic and professional promise; (3) a concise one-page statement describing the student's goals both within the program and in professional life; and (4) GRE scores (general test and the subject test in biology) Specific inquiries about the Ecology Program may be directed to the program chair. Applications should be submitted by February 1 for summer or fall semester admission.
In addition to Graduate School requirements, the instructional program includes three graduate core courses in ecology (one course in each of three core areas: population ecology, community/ecosystem ecology, and physiological ecology), two advanced 3-credit statistics course, four credits of colloquium, breadth courses selected by the student in consultation with the research adviser and research committee, a minimum of 15 thesis credits, and a thesis research project directed by the student's adviser.
The communication and foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. degree may be satisfied by strong performance in two semesters of one foreign language or the equivalent. Both the candidacy and comprehensive examinations will be written and oral.
The Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship is intended to provide enhanced educational opportunities for students with an interest in water resources management who are enrolled in the Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Ecology at the University Park campus. The objective of the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship is to educate students to facilitate team-oriented, community-based watershed management planning directed at natural resources conservation and environmental problems encountered in Pennsylvania communities, especially non-point source water pollution. The Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship requires 22 credits of graduate courseware: 12 credits of breadth courses, 2 credits of Watershed Stewardship Seminar (FOR 591A and FOR 591B or LARCH 510.2 [twice]), and 8 credits of Watershed Stewardship Practicum I and II courses (FOR 570 and FOR 571 or LARCH 540.2 and LARCH 550.2). Breadth courses will consist of three graduate credits of courseware from each of four subject matter areas: (1) water resources science; (2) social science, public policy, and economics; (3) humanities; and (4) communications and design. In the watershed stewardship practicum courses, students work in teams with community, government and business leaders to analyze and understand natural resources and ecological issues and creatively synthesize appropriate solutions in the form of a written watershed management plan.

The Department of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering provides a vertically integrated approach to research and education in all aspects of the energy and mineral industries, including scientific and engineering issues, health and safety and maintenance of high environmental standards. The department's mission is to forge an intellectual and scientific cohesiveness in energy and mineral resource technology. This objective is achieved by exploiting the natural synergy between the exploration, extraction, processing and utilization of energy and mineral resources so as to cater to the emerging needs of society.
The Department of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering offers advanced degrees in four programmatic areas (Fuel Science, Mineral Processing, Mining Engineering and Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering). Each academic degree program has specific faculty associated with it and a professor who serves as the graduate program officer. The Department of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering has overall requirements for the M.S., M.Eng., and Ph.D. degrees with specific requirements associated with each program.
Scores for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required for admission, though this may be waived at the discretion of the academic programs. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces available for new students. Students will be accepted by the academic programs and at the discretion of a graduate program, a student may be granted provisional admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Admission to the academic programs in the Department of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering is quite competitive. Entering students must hold a bachelor's degree in engineering or physical sciences. Students with 3.00 or better (out of 4.00) junior/senior cumulative grade-point averages and appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission. Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests. Entering graduate students in Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering for whom English is not the first language are required to have a score of at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination.

The graduate programs in Fuel Science provide instruction and research opportunities to acquire advanced professional knowledge in the characteristics and utilization of fuels, including their conversion to energy, to other fuels, or to other materials, and environmental protection through pollution prevention and abatement.
Well-equipped research facilities are available for investigation of the chemical and physical characteristics of fuels, petroleum and natural gas processing, and conversion, catalysis, fundamentals of gasification, liquefaction, and coprocessing of fuels, organic geochemistry of plant-derived sediments, physics and chemistry and physics of combustion phenomena, and pollutant formation and control. Students can plan a wide variety of programs of study to suit individual needs; coherent interdisciplinary programs are encouraged.
Mineral Processing is concerned with the extraction and purification of valuable
commodities from the earth. The raw materials produced by mining are highly
impure and must be upgraded before they are of use to society. For example,
the cleaning of coal to minimize pollution is an area of national and international
concern. Energy, raw materials, and the environment are some of the most serious
problem areas facing the world today. Mineral processing engineers play a key
role in reducing and solving these problems.
The refining of mineral commodities involves a broad
variety of problems, mostly associated with the production, handling, and separation
of solid particles. Particle systems are also critical to many of the processes
and products of modern industry: materials, chemicals, and electronics as well
as minerals. Mineral processing engineers are at the forefront of the science
and technology of particle systems, and many of the techniques and procedures
used in mineral processing find direct application in other areas. Training
of a mineral processing engineer involves interdisciplinary study of chemistry,
physics, the geological sciences, and engineering with special emphasis on concentration
by physical methods; surface chemistry of particles; particle processing; chemical
and thermal extraction processes, etc.
Pollution control and the preservation of environmental
quality are of major concern to the mineral processing profession. The mining
and processing industries produce large quantities of solid waste which must
be disposed of properly. Process water must be treated for reuse or disposal
and processing systems must be designed and operated to minimize air pollution.
At the same time, many air and water pollution control methods use equipment
and processes originally developed for the mineral industries. Mineral processing
methods are also involved in the recovery, recycling, and reuse of metals and
other materials. The mineral processing faculty also participate in all University
interdisciplinary programs leading to the Master of Science in environmental
pollution or the Master of Environmental Pollution Control degrees.
