PROFESSOR DALE MILLER, Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Computer Engineering is concerned with the analysis, design, and application of computer systems. It includes VLSI, logic circuit design, microprocessors, computer architectures, operating systems, programming languages, data bases, and various computer applications, including pattern recognition, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. Computers play a vital role in almost every branch of science, engineering, and business applications. Analysis and design of computer hardware, software, and their tradeoffs are important to the manufacturing of efficient and well-engineered computer systems for these applications.
The curriculum proceeds from a freshman year based on science and mathematics common to all engineering students to a core of computer engineering courses that extends through the senior year. The sophomore/junior core provides background and breadth in engineering science and design with the design experience beginning in a sophomore logic design course and laboratory and culminating in a senior-level project design course. A few elective courses are available during the senior year so that students may add depth in their area of specialization, although these electives must include a selection from each of the areas of hardware, software, and laboratory-intensive courses. Students with appropriate preparation in mathematics, science, and social-humanistic courses may enter the program at the junior year with minimal or no delay in completing the requirements for the B.S. in Computer Engineering. Graduates of the program enter professional careers as computer engineers or go on for advanced study at the graduate level.
For the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required.

27-04-021 Changes as follows: Add the quantification statement for the Movement Science minor; add C grades to Prescribed Courses in Common Requirements for the Major; change Athletic Training option by adding KINES 431(3) under Prescribed Courses.
Proposed effective date: Summer Session 1999
PROFESSOR KARL M. NEWELL, Head
Kinesiology offers a comprehensive program of study in the science of human movement and is designed for students who want to prepare for professions involving physicial activity and for graduate study in related areas. Three options are offered: (1) Athletic Training; (2) Movement Science; and (3) Teacher Preparation.
All options require a culminating practicum or research experience. Eligibility requirements for this are completion of prerequisites, seventh-semester standing with a minimum of 100 credits, demonstrated computer competency, and a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average. First aid and CPR certification are highly recommended for the Teacher Preparation option and the Applied Fitness emphasis in the Movement Science option. (See additional requirements for student teaching under General Information, Special Academic Programs.) Relocation away from the University Park Campus is generally necessary for student teaching and may be necessary for practicums in other options.
Students who have completed a minimum of 28 credits with passing grades and have attained third-semester classification with a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average are eligible for entrance into the major after (1) filing a written application; (2) participating in an entrance conference; and (3) meeting the following requirements: Complete, with a grade of C or higher, two of the following three courses: KINES 141(3), 150(3), and 171(3).
For the B.S. degree in Kinesiology with an option in Athletic Training, a minimum of 130 credits is required; with an option in Movement Science, a minimum of 130 credits is required; with an option in Teacher Preparation, a minimum of 146.5 credits is required. (To satisfy graduation requirements, students must have completed 6 credits from courses offered in the College of Health and Human Development but outside of Kinesiology.)
ATHLETIC TRAINING OPTION: This option provides a concentrated program of courses designed to prepare students for a career in the profession of athletic training. The courses have been designed to meet the minimum standards necessary for certification by the National Athletic Trainers Association and licensure by the Pennsylvania Physical Therapy Board as an athletic trainer. It is possible to combine either the Teacher Preparation or Movement Science option with the Athletic Training option. It should be noted, however, that such a program may require additional time.
The following requirements for admission to the Athletic Training option are in addition to those for entrance to the Kinesiology major:
1. A cumulative grade-point average of 2.50
2. A 3.00 grade-point average in BIOL 129(4), KINES 303 GHS(3), 135(3), 295F(2)
3. A written application
4. Participate in an entrance interview with the Athletic Training program director or designee
5. A minimum of 100 clock hours of clinical experience in one or more of the training rooms under supervision of a certified athletic trainer. This opportunity is part of KINES 295F(3)
It is recommended that students apply for admission prior to the fourth semester in order to meet the sequence of course requirements, as there is often a waiting list.
MOVEMENT SCIENCE OPTION: This option consists of three areas that provide an opportunity for the concentrated study of physical activity in relation to science and medical emphasis; human behavior and humanities emphasis; and applied fitness emphasis. Upon graduation, students enter a variety of careers in relation to physical activity, be they professional, business oriented, or private agencies, and also may enter graduate school.
TEACHER PREPARATION OPTION: This option helps prepare teachers for K-12 Health and Physical Education. It includes all the academic requirements for the Instructional I Certificate in these fields issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. There are entrance requirements for all University teacher preparation programs:
1. A minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.50
2. An assessment of reading, writing, and computation skills
3. Completion of an Education Core: EDPSY 014(3) and EDTHP 115(3)
4. An early field experience, preferably in a diverse setting (one with at least 25 percent minority students): for KINES majors, KINES 295A(1)
5. Nine credits of required course work in the teaching field: for KINES majors, KINES 154(3) and two of the following: KINES 141(3), 150(3), 171(3)
6. Documented evidence showing completion of at least 80 hours of paid or volunteer work in a setting with an age-appropriate population, including a minimum of 40 hours of work in each of two settings, one of which should involve students from an underrepresented group, or who are from rural or urban areas, but different from the candidate's own background
7. Approval by the Teacher Preparation option coordinator
MOVEMENT SCIENCE MINOR: Students must take two of the following: KINES 141(3), 150(3), and 171(3); and select additional courses (at least 6 credits at the 400 level) in Kinesiology for a total of 18 credits. Only courses in which the students earns a grade of C or better may be counted toward the fulfillment of the requirements for the minor.
