Forest Science

University Park, College of Agricultural Sciences (FORSC)

PROFESSOR PAUL R. BLANKENHORN, Program Coordinator

The mission of the B.S. program in Forest Science is to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and professional ethics for understanding and managing forest ecosystems and living as responsible members of society.

The Forest Science major provides for the education necessary for students to pursue professional careers in one of the following options: (1) Forest Biology, (2) Forest Management, (3) Urban Forestry, and (4) Watershed Management. These options also will help prepare students for graduate studies in continuing professional education.

FOREST BIOLOGY OPTION: This option provides a strong background in the biological and ecological aspects of contemporary forestry and establishes a sound foundation for professional employment and graduate-level study in forest and environmental sciences.

FOREST MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option provides professional training in the management of forest lands consistent with the needs of ownership objectives. Employment opportunities include forest management positions with public agencies, industry, and private consulting.

URBAN FORESTRY OPTION: This option helps prepare students to manage community trees and green spaces. It emphasizes technical expertise, communication abilities, and skills for working with diverse people. Employment opportunities include municipalities, arboricultural companies, utilities, and government agencies.

WATERSHED MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option focuses on water resources and the integrated management of natural resources with emphasis on water. Graduates qualify for federal employment as hydrologists and for water-related careers in municipal watershed management, state and local government, and environmental/engineering consulting.

For the B.S. degree in Forest Science, a minimum of 129 credits is required for the Forest Biology, Forest Management, and Urban Forestry options, and a minimum of 121 credits for the Watershed Management option. Students should be aware that completion of the Forest Science degree in four years requires enrollment at the University Park Campus beginning the fall semester of the sophomore year.

35-02-072 Add new Integrated B.S./M.S. Program in Meteorology.

Proposed effective date: Spring Semester 2007

Integrated B.S./M.S. Program in Meteorology

The Department of Meteorology offers an integrated B.S./M.S. (IUG) Program that is designed to allow academically superior students to obtain both the B.S. and the M.S. degree in Meteorology in five years of study. In order to complete the program in five years, students interested in the Integrated B.S./M.S. Program in Meteorology must apply for admission to the Graduate School and the Integrated B.S./M.S. Program by the end of their junior year.

During the first three years, the student will follow the course scheduling of one of the options in the B.S. degree, normally the Atmospheric Sciences or the General option (see the Undergraduate Bulletin). Students who intend to enter the Integrated B.S./M.S. program are encouraged to take upper level classes during their first three years whenever appropriate. By the end of the junior year, students normally apply for admission to both the IUG program and to the Graduate School. Acceptance decisions will be made prior to the beginning of the senior year and M.S. advising committees appointed for successful applicants. During the senior year, IUG students follow the scheduling of the selected B.S. Meteorology option, with an emphasis on completing 500-level course work as appropriate. During the senior year, IUG students will start work on their theses or papers that are designed to meet the requirements of the M.S. degree in Meteorology. During the fifth year, IUG students take courses fulfilling the departmental M.S. degree requirements and complete their M.S. theses or papers. Typical scheduling plans for students pursuing the General or Atmospheric Sciences options are given on the departmental Web site http://www.met.psu.edu. Undergraduate tuition rates will apply as long as the student is an undergraduate, unless the student receives financial support, for example, via an assistantship requiring the payment of graduate tuition.

Admission Requirements

Students who wish to complete the Integrated B.S./M.S. Program in Meteorology should apply for admission to both the Graduate School and the Integrated B.S./M.S. Program by no later than the end of their junior year. In this case, successful students will be admitted formally into the graduate program in Meteorology just prior to their senior year, if their progress has been satisfactory. Admission prior to the senior year is also possible in some unusual circumstances. In all cases, admission to the program will be at the discretion of the Graduate Admissions Officer for the Department of Meteorology, who will determine the necessary criteria for all applicants. These criteria include the setting of the minimum required scores on the GRE and the minimum cumulative GPA for consideration, the receipt of sufficiently strong recommendation letters from three faculty and a strong letter of support from the department head, and the writing of an excellent proposal for a workable research project with a specific adviser; normally, evidence of significant research progress must be provided in the application as well.

The details of the program requirements can be found in the Graduate Degree Programs Bulletin.

The medical community has grown to depend on medical devices and systems to diagnose, treat and monitor patients in health care. These medical devices have become very complex systems, as they are becoming microprocessor controlled, PC based, and networked to share information. Biomedical Equipment Technicians (BETs) are specialized individuals who are educated and trained on the methods of: physiological measurement; equipment application and operation; safety, performance and preventive maintenance testing; calibration; problem solving; and troubleshooting. In addition, BETs may be involved in equipment and technology management programs, selection and installation of medical equipment, manufacturer and FDA recalls of medical devices, quality improvement programs, and training programs for hospital personnel in the safe and proper use of medical equipment. The classroom and laboratory portions of this major focus on electronically and PC based medical devices for patient monitoring and life-support equipment. The student is exposed to a much broader spectrum of medical equipment through a 400-hour (ten-week) practical internship in an approved health care facility.

The major prepares graduates who, during the first few years of professional practice, will be able to:

• Perform preventive maintenance, performance assurance and safety inspections (PMs) on a wide range of medical devices.
• Understand use, application, and operation on a wide range of medical equipment and systems, with normal/abnormal outcomes/measurements.
• Demonstrate a broad knowledge of electrical and electronic engineering technology fundamentals, components and circuits.
• Apply basic mathematical and scientific principals to identify, analyze, and solve technical problems on a wide range of medical equipment and systems.
• Understand use and application of applicable test equipment, simulators and tools required to PM and service medical equipment and systems.
• Awareness, understanding and application of applicable codes, standards, and regulations regarding medical equipment support.
• Perform and assist application design, installation and acceptance testing for medical equipment and systems.
• Work with fellow technicians, clinical professionals, and other related professionals by functioning effectively on committees, teams, and by independent work.
• Properly document actions and follow required procedures, policies, and regulatory requirements.
• Communicate effectively with fellow technicians, clinical professionals, and other related professionals.
• Continue professional development by participating in education and training on medical equipment and systems.
• Participate in quality improvement programs that support medical equipment and systems.
• Participate in recognizing, reporting, and monitoring improvements to medical equipment and the related profession, as required by regulation and on a professional voluntary basis.

This program also articulates with Pennsylvania Department of Education approved Tech Prep programs. Secondary school Tech Prep students who have graduated from a program covered by a signed Penn State Tech Prep Articulation Agreement may be eligible for special admission procedures and/or advanced placement. Students completing the 2 BET degree need only complete several additional courses to obtain the Associate in Engineering Technology degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. Graduates of the program may qualify for admission to the baccalaureate degree major in Electrical Engineering Technology offered at Penn State Harrisburg and at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College and the baccalaureate degree major in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology offered at Penn State New Kensington, Altoona, York, and Berks.

For the Associate in Engineering Technology degree in Biomedical Engineering Technology, a minimum of 71 credits is required. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: 410-347-7700, or www.abet.org.

Calling upon the expertise of more than 200 faculty members representing thirty-eight different departments among seven different colleges between two different campuses, the Integrative Biosciences (IBIOS) Graduate Program offers a unique opportunity to learn about and work in multiple disciplines. This graduate education component of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences is supported by modern telecommunications facilities and equipment. Doctoral students not only explore new conceptual connections, but also engage in active group learning experiences and explore a variety of potential career opportunities before graduation. Two unique aspects are (1) dual mentors who will expose students to complementary viewpoints and encourage students to pursue problems at the interface between traditional disciplines, and (2) an optional internship that provides a mechanism for students to obtain “real world” experience in future professional settings.

The program offers the following areas of research emphasis (called options): Biomolecular Transport Dynamics; Cell and Developmental Biology; Chemical Biology; Immunobiology; Neuroscience; and Nutrition Sciences.

meteograd@ems.psu.edu

Degrees Conferred: Ph.D., M.S.

The graduate program embraces topics that span atmospheric processes from those of the planetary boundary layer to those of the upper atmosphere, that encompass phenomena with molecular to planetary dimensions, and that range from practical to theoretical significance. The program develops and integrates approaches based on observational, computational and analytical techniques.
The major interests of the faculty and graduate students center on (1) analysis, modeling, and prediction of the evolution of synoptic-scale, or mesoscale weather systems, particularly those of significant impact on human activities; (2) observation and theoretical study of processes related to transmission of radiation through the atmosphere, including remote sensing through use of electromagnetic or acoustic systems; (3) observations, laboratory, and theoretical study of trace gases, particulates, and clouds and their consequences for air quality and climate; and (4) observation and theoretical study of atmospheric physics on a variety of scales, including phenomena of weather and climate, boundary layer physics, turbulence, convective systems, and severe storms.

The department encourages interdisciplinary studies and is expanding its programs in biometeorology, climate dynamics, atmospheric pollution prediction, atmospheric carbon cycling, forecast reliability and verification, mathematical study of fluid dynamical systems, and integrated atmosphere–ocean studies. The department is affiliated with the Earth and Environmental Sciences Institute, which conducts studies in Earth system science, including climate, large-scale dynamics, oceanography, and regional assessments.

For the M.S. program, a minimum of 30 credits is required. For the Ph.D. program, a minimum of 4 credits is required, plus 6 elective credits per academic year in consultation with the adviser until the comprehensive examination is passed.

Admission Requirements

The Meteorology program is open to all students with a baccalaureate degree and a strong interest in the atmospheric sciences. A degree in meteorology, science, mathematics, or engineering provides a particularly good background, although the department has had some students with arts and humanities degrees (such as Art History) who have done well. The minimum course requirements for admission are mathematics at least through differential equations and at least one year of physics. Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for the evaluation of all applicants. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
