The Psychology major emphasizes the scientific study of human behavior in areas such as cognition, development, learning, physiology, personality, and social processes. The curriculum is designed to provide students with the analytical and critical thinking skills necessary to be good consumers of scientific information. Experiential and applied courses allow students to develop their research and counseling skills.

The Psychology Program prepares students for careers in local, state, and federal government, and human service, applied behavior, human resources, and related fields. The Psychology Program also provides the background for graduate education at both the master's and the doctoral level.

The Psychology major offers two options. The option in Experimental Psychology is a traditional psychology program and provides a strong background for students who intend to pursue graduate study in any area of psychology. This option is strongly recommended for students who plan to undertake doctoral work. Students who want a traditional education in psychology but who do not plan on graduate study might also choose this option, in which case applied experience can be obtained by using elective credits to take internship and other applied courses. Assisting faculty members with their research is strongly encouraged for students who choose the Experimental Psychology option.

The option in Psychological Services provides training and experience in entry-level psychological services in order to facilitate the transition into the workforce following graduation. This option is recommended for students who do not intend to pursue doctoral work and who plan to work directly with people in the areas noted above. Students who choose the Psychological Services option can enhance their scientific and research expertise by using elective credits to take experimental psychology courses and by assisting faculty members with their research.

Both options are available to daytime students at the Harrisburg campus. Due to limited opportunities for evening internships, only the Experimental Psychology option is available to evening students at the Harrisburg campus. 'I'he Psychological Services option is available to students at the Schuylkill campus in a primarily daytime program.

For a B.S. degree in Psychology, a minimum of 122 credits is required.

30-04-017 Change. Add two new options: Citizenship Education Option and Social Sciences Option. Increase minimum number of credits required by 1 credit.

Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2002

Secondary Education Social Studies (SESST)

PROFESSOR CLEMMIE GILPIN, Coordinator, School of Behavioral Sciences and Education

The Secondary Education Social Studies major prepares students to meet the requirements to be certified for either the Citizenship Education or Social Science Instructional I Certificate as established by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Media Studies (MEDIA)

DENNIS K. DAVIS, Head, Department of Film/Video and Media Studies

This major is designed for students who want to pursue an academic rather than professional program of media studies. Students are exposed first to the breadth of approaches to understanding the mass media (e.g., aesthetic, humanistic, social-behavioral, legal policy) and then, by selecting one of several options, go into depth in a specialized area of media studies. All options within the major are closely intertwined with the liberal arts and sciences. Therefore, students who successfully complete this major must have a strong foundation in the liberal arts and well-developed language and analytical skills. That foundation should include courses such as ART H 100 GA(3), ECON 002 GS(3), HIST 002 GH(3), PSY 002 GS(3), and SOC 001 GS(3). Students must select at least 90 credits in non-COMM courses, including at least 65 credits in the liberal arts and sciences.

The following three options are offered:

FILM AND TELEVISION STUDIES OPTION: This option is designed for students interested in studying the art, history, and criticism of film and television. Electives offer students the opportunity to pursue a related field, such as art, art history, creative writing, speech communication, or theatre arts. This option merges aesthetics and social sciences and is appropriate for those seeking a more theoretical/critical approach to the study of film and video.

GENERAL OPTION: In this option, a student and faculty advisor work together to tailor a program of courses to meet the student's individual interest in a coherent theme in media studies. Examples of themes include, but are not limited to, communication law and policy, communication and the environment, communication and health campaigns, media effects and society, minorities and the media, and gender and the media. The General Option consists of three sets of courses totaling 18 credits, including: 1) a set of pre-defined College of Communications courses in communications theory from which students must take two courses for six credits; 2) a set of pre-defined courses in research methods relating to any of the traditions of communications research (communication science, cultural studies, critical studies, etc.) from which students must take two courses for six credits; and 3) a student-and-advisor selected cluster of any two courses worth a combined six credits -- courses either from inside or outside the College of Communications -- that the student and faculty advisor determine, after consultation and agreement between the two, best serve the student's area of interest.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS OPTION: This option is designed for students who want to study the mass media systems of the world and their role in international affairs. The option offers students an opportunity to enhance their occupational opportunities in international business, organizations, or government and to be better prepared to participate in the world community.

For the B.A. degree in Media Studies, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

Geosciences (GSCBS)

PROFESSOR TANYA FURMAN, Associate Head for Undergraduate Programs

The geosciences are concerned with understanding earth processes and the evolutionary history of the Earth. Geoscientists work to discover and develop natural resources such as groundwater, metals, and energy sources; to solve technology-generated environmental problems such as acid mine drainage and waste disposal; to predict geological events, such as the occurrence of earthquakes and volcanism; and to solve fundamental questions concerning the origin and evolution of Earth and life. Our degree programs stress data collection; investigation, analysis and synthesis of information related to complex natural problems; and rigor of thought and clarity of oral and written expression. The Bachelor of Science provides a broad foundation in the physical and natural sciences for students who seek immediate employment or post-graduate education in several areas of the geosciences. Examples of careers include the petroleum and mining industries; local or federal resource management; water resources, treatment and management; energy and environmental industries; and academia. A senior thesis involving independent research is required of all students.

For the B.S. degree in Geosciences, a minimum of 121 credits is required.

GENERAL OPTION: This option is designed to provide sufficient flexibility so that the student has the opportunity to prepare for graduate school by focusing on specialized areas in the geosciences. The option's flexibility also permits students to develop a broad background in the geosciences in preparation for post-graduate majors that require breadth, such as environmental law.

HYDROGEOLOGY OPTION: This option helps prepare the student for entry-level positions in environmental agencies and firms where a specialized knowledge of groundwater and related areas is required. The option is also appropriate for students wishing to pursue and advanced degree in the area of hydrogeology.

Materials Science and Engineering (MATSE)

PROFESSOR GARY L. MESSING, Head, Department of Materials Science
and Engineering

PROFESSOR JOHN R. HELLMANN, Associate Head of Undergraduate Studies, Materials Science and Engineering

The future can be appropriately termed the age of materials. In addition to the traditional engineering applications of metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and polymers, new materials and composites must be developed by materials scientists to aid progress in the exploration of the oceans and space and to encourage our efficient utilization of energy. These new materials will help meet the demands of society for improved efficiencies and reliable performance at high temperatures and in severe environments.

Students in materials sciences and engineering begin with a background in basic chemistry, mathematics, and physics, the foundation for broad-based materials properties, processing, and applications courses. Commencing with their junior year, students take courses in Materials Science and Engineering and specialized courses in one of four options: Ceramic Science and Engineering, Electronic and Photonic Materials, Metals Science and Engineering, or Polymer Science.

POLYMER SCIENCE MINOR: Students must take MATSE 443(3), select 12 credits from MATSE 441(3), MATSE 442(3), MATSE 444(3), MATSE 445(3), and MATSE 446(3); and select 3 credits from MATSE 473(1), MATSE 474(1), MATSE 417(3), MATSE 447(3), MATSE 494W(3), MATSE 496(1-3), CHEM 455(3), CH E 441(3), E MCH 446(3), or B M B 474(2), for a minimum of 18 credits.

For the B.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering with an option in Electronic and Photonic Materials, a minimum of 127 credits is required.

METALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OPTION:

PROFESSOR DIGBY D. MACDONALD, Option Counselor

The metals option provides an opportunity to explore a broad range of both scientific and engineering principles as applied to metals and alloys. A graduate of this option will thus typically apply basic concepts of chemistry, physics, or engineering science to problems concerning the processing or properties of metals. Although metallurgists are often employed by metals-producing industries, an increasingly large fraction are finding employment in a diverse group of industries that use metals, such as those in the electronics or aerospace fields. Many graduates pursue advanced studies. The B.S. degree in this option is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET).

For the B.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering with an option in Metals Science and Engineering, a minimum of 127 credits is required.

POLYMER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OPTION:

PROFESSOR JAMES P. RUNT, Program Chair

This option allows the student to establish a firm foundation in the basic sciences and to apply this knowledge to a study of the synthl and mechanical properties of synthetic and natural polymers.

Polymers are a major class of materials consisting of macromolecules of very high molecular weight. Polymers are pervasive in today's technological society and find numerous applications in such diverse fields as plastics, elastomers (rubber), adhesives, surface coatings (paints), textiles, paper, packaging, and composite materials.

This option helps prepare graduates for research, development, and technical sales positions in numerous materials and chemical industries that either produce or utilize polymers; or to proceed to advanced studies in polymer science or related technical fields.

For the B.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering with an option in Polymer Science and Engineering, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

Mining Engineering (MNG E)

PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER J. BISE, Undergraduate Program Officer

The program in Mining Engineering consists of two options: Mining and Mineral Processing. Each is pointed at a specific aspect of the mineral industries. The Mining Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

For the B.S. degree in Mining Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required.

MINING OPTION: The undergraduate curriculum in mining engineering has been designed to enable students to apply the fundamentals necessary to achieve lifelong professional growth. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to pursue employment opportunities in both the private and public sectors as mining engineers, or will be able to pursue advanced education.

The courses are sequenced so that an appropriate blend of theory, applications and project design is achieved. This enables the mining-engineering student to appreciate and comprehend that a successful engineering design project requires a sound theoretical foundation, supported by experimentation and good engineering judgment. The program is designed such that the fundamentals of mathematics, earth, and engineering sciences are integrated into traditional mining-engineering topics. Design projects, culminating in the capstone design project, are required throughout the curriculum. The proper execution of these projects requires an awareness of acceptable problem-formulation strategies, the testing of alternative design methodologies, feasibility studies, environmental impacts, and overall economic considerations.

Graduates of the program will be prepared to perform in the various steps of mineral extraction, including exploration, evaluation, development, recovery, and processing. The mining engineering faculty is committed to an interactive teaching and learning environment to ensure that the student plays an active role in the learning process. The general education opportunities are sufficiently broad and diverse in nature and scope to enable the student to tailor the educational experience to particular interests, backgrounds, and expected roles in society.

The integration of knowledge and skills acquired during the course of study enables the student and, ultimately, the graduates of this program to do the following:

• To deliver curriculum material that is of sufficient science and engineering rigor to ensure that students have the basis for entering the private or public sectors as mining engineers, or higher education, if they so choose.
• To enable students to comprehend the interrelationships among geology, exploration, valuation, development, exploitation, and processing of mineral deposits in a coordinated manner, from the introductory mining course to the capstone mine-design course.
• To encourage student use of computer and information technology, in a comprehensive manner, as it relates to engineering applications for mineral resources.
• To stimulate student awareness, appreciation, and communication capabilities to address societal concerns with regard to the total environment, health and safety, sustainable development, lifelong learning and the conservation of our natural resources.

MINERAL PROCESSING OPTION: Mineral Processing deals with the characterization of particulate materials and the design and evaluation of mineral/particle processing systems. Students in this program proceed through a logical progression of courses, which allows them to develop an understanding of basic concepts through engineering applications. Laboratory courses enforce the basic principles acquired during these courses. They apply this information to the design of specific operations and complete processing systems. Students enrolled in the program acquire:

• a strong foundation in mathematics and the physical and engineering sciences.
• a fundamental background in mineral and particle process engineering with emphasis on particle processing, applied surface and solution chemistry, and systems engineering that is of sufficient scientific and engineering rigor to ensure a strong basis for lifelong learning and graduate study, if so desired.
• the ability to conduct experiments, interpret data, and apply the results to the design and operation of engineering systems.
• an understanding of the human, societal, economic, and ethical issues involved in industrial activity and environmental protection.
• the skills to communicate effectively to technical and non-technical audiences.

STUDENT-TRAINEE PROGRAM: A five-year work-study plan is available to incoming students in Mining Engineering. Alternating periods of employment in industry and schooling at Penn State, the student-trainee obtains the BS degree in five years instead of four, following a rearranged major. Numerous mining and manufacturing companies as well as governmental agencies are cooperating with the University in providing employment during work periods. In addition to earning sufficient funds to finance their education, student-trainees acquire two years of valuable, practical, and professional experience. Additional information can be obtained from the department.

MINING ENGINEERING MINOR: Students must take MNG 030(2), MNG 404(2), MNG 410(2), MNG 412(3), MNG 422(3), MNG 431(3) , and MNG 441(3), for a total of 18 credits. A grade-point average of 2.0 for all courses is required.

Engineering Entrepreneurship Minor (E-SHIP)

WAYNE HAGER, Professor and Head, School of Engineering Technology and Commonwealth Engineering (SETCE)

This interdisciplinary minor supports technology entrepreneurship development for all students, especially those majoring in engineering, business, and IST (Information Sciences and Technology). All segments of the U.S. and world economy are integrated with technology. The Engineering Entrepreneurship Minor addresses this new reality. Engineering graduates should have more business finance, marketing, and intellectual property knowledge, and business and IST students interested in technology enterprises should have a working knowledge of the engineering design process, basic engineering principles, graphics, and computer-aided design. All students should have solid skills in teamwork, leadership, and innovation in order to conceive, produce and promote creative product designs and solutions. Courses in the minor use problem-based learning, including business case studies and new product concept prototyping. Core courses include business plan presentations and competitions and open-ended design problems. The minor consists of 18 semester hours. A grade of C or better is required in all classes used to meet the requirements of the minor. For admission to the minor, students must have completed ENGR 310(3) Entrepreneurial Leadership.

After taking an introductory survey course which exposes students to the basics of Biology, including the chemistry of life, cell structure, genetics, mechanisms of evolution and evolutionary history of biological diversity, plant and animal form and function, and ecology, students select additional courses based on their biological emphasis to account for a total of 18-20 credits. In conjunction with the student's major, the minor prepares students for entry to graduate school or professional school programs, as well as for technical or research careers with governmental agencies or industry. Majors complemented by this minor would include but not be limited to other life and physical sciences, engineering, and business.

A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.
