PROFESSOR WILLIAM KELLY, in charge, College of Arts and Architecture
PROFESSOR JOSEPH LAMBERT, in charge, School of Information Sciences and
Technology
Information management skills are becoming an integral part of our lives and practices, including those who practice in the arts. The arts are becoming increasingly dependent upon electronic technologies that enable greater interactivity, rapid experimentation and dissemination, and new possibilities for creative expression through such mediums as computer modeling, digital imaging, animation and digital audio and video. The College of Arts and Architecture/IST minor provides students with a basic introduction to the core curriculum of the School of Information Sciences and Technology combined with a selection of interdisciplinary digital media courses in the arts. The Digital Arts/IST minor will focus on the creative and critical uses of the new technologies to produce digital graphic images, two and three dimensional models and rendering and moving animation and audio processing. As a result, students in both the arts and information science will be better prepared for personal and professional advancement by learning to explore digital media as fine art tools that engage them in critical and creative ways beyond the technical mastery of software and hardware.
Students must apply to the minor no later than the beginning of their 5th semester. A one-time tuition surcharge will be applied to all students enrolled in the minor. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in this minor.

PROFESSOR ERNEST DISHNER, Program Coordinator, School of Behavioral Sciences and Education
The Elementary Education program is characterized by its humanistic approach to teaching. The program offers extensive field experiences in the junior year prior to student teaching and emphasizes the problems of urban teachers. An objective of the program is the development of self-awareness and independence in students, which can free them from the typical dependent relationships with instructors. Thus, a student is expected to exhibit initiative and self-direction toward professional goals and demonstrate professional behavior in contacts with school personnel.
Prior to the full-time student teaching experience in the senior year, students are expected to complete all other courses required for certification, including two part-time placements. On-campus courses are scheduled two or three days a week, while field experiences in nearby schools are scheduled part-time, two or four days per week.
For a B. ELED degree in Elementary Education a minimum of 127 credits are required.
For a B. ELED degree in Elementary Education with Early Childhood Education Certification a minimum of 140 credits are required.
Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Elementary Education major or the Elementary Education major with Early Childhood Certification requires the completion of 57 or more credits and the state's minimum GPA criteria (presently 2.50). Students thinking seriously about education should plan their freshmen and sophomore years carefully. Semesters 5 through 8 are very structured.
Change of Assignment Recommendation:
Students should generally have completed most of their General Education requirements. A limited number of 001-200 level courses are offered at Penn State Harrisburg for students who need lower division courses.
Students should request a change-of-assignment to Penn State Harrisburg during their fourth semester, to be effective for the next semester of enrollment.

PROFESSOR J. L. DUDA HENRY C. FOLEY, Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering
The undergraduate program in chemical engineering is designed to reflect the growing impact of chemical engineers in fields much broader than and extending beyond their past conventional roles in the chemical, petroleum and related industries. The program integrates learning of traditional chemical engineering topics with studies in the expanding areas of materials, environmental, biomedical and biotechnology fields. The program also imparts skills that will allow the chemical engineer to play an increasing role in government agencies, financial institutions, consulting firms, law, medicine and other areas of technical and professional training.
To create such a modern chemical engineer, the program focuses on the training of students to solve problems which involve the complex coupling of many factors with an emphasis on the analysis and design of processes and products. The program builds on its traditional foundation of applications in the chemical process industries while expanding student exposure to various new fields of activity. The scholarly and research activities of the faculty are integrated into the core program of courses and specialty elective courses. The program offers diverse opportunities for students to pursue inter-disciplinary studies through options in Polymer Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering, and Fuels and Energy Engineering, utilizing the faculty and the facilities in other engineering, physical and life sciences departments. The curriculum, while conveying specific factual information, is structured to train students as problem solvers rather than as specialists in a narrow field of study.
The educational program will enable the undergraduate students to:

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 student 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.
