Global Learning Online Non-credit Courses
• Opportunities exist for departments to augment their budgets by offering non-credit online courses.
• Working professionals need to remain current in their
fields yet often can not return for advanced degrees. • Non-credit online courses provide an alternative way
for faculty to share their expertise by recording a course that is then archived for future student viewing.
• Two series in Paint Technology and Pipeline Technology have been produced resulting in the revenue on the following slide.
Global Learning Revenue From Online Non-Credit Courses
• November 15th – 2nd Annual Missouri Project Lead the Way Conference in Columbia, MO. Over 650 high school teachers coming together to improve teaching methods in STEM courses and foster engagement of students in engineering and science.

Strategic Planning: Theme 1 – Develop and Inspire Creative
Thinkers and Leaders and Life-long Success
Lever 1.1 : Require all undergraduate students to participate in a significant experiential learning activity before
graduation Cawlfield is Lever Leader
Action 1.1.1 and 1.1.2• Create a definition and begin building a comprehensive
list of activities that are supported by research as significant experiential activities (Target: completion by December 2013)
• Lever/Action 1.1.2 : Incorporate experiential/service learning into the core curriculum in all degree programs at any level beginning in the freshmen year [Target: Faculty Senate approval of each curriculum by completion of second year of strategic plan (complete by June 2015)]
Completed to date and future work remaining:• Research by UGS office: how do comparator institutions and TRU’s
define “experiential learning”?• First draft definition of “significant experiential learning activity”
developed and presented to Provost direct reports at the Academic Affairs retreat in August. Circulated to Student Affairs for input.
• Second draft circulated to faculty for input by department chairs. • Final definition and guidelines to be submitted to Provost by mid-
November. Faculty in each degree program will develop/regulate their own comprehensive list of activities that will count as “significant experiential learning” within the spirit of the definition and guidelines approved by the Provost.
• Office of Undergraduate Studies will work with degree programs to develop mechanisms for tracking and assessing completion by each student as part of Degree Audit.
From the Current Draft Document: Definition and Implementation Guidelines
Key Elements of Experiential Learning
Student centered rather than teacher centered Active learning rather than passive learning Application of learned principles to form realistic solutions to problems, issues and challenges Reflection upon the learning experience.
General Definition
Experiential learning at Missouri S&T is an opportunity for students to engage in applying what they are learning through structured activities that differ significantly from the traditional lecture format. By creating varied experiential learning activities, it allows students to learn in an environment that aligns with their aptitude. These are hands-on activities that involve collaboration and reflective learning requiring students to go beyond mastering basic skills and content to the application of that material and engaging in problem solving challenges.
Implementation Guidelines for Missouri S&TTo qualify:
1. The activity must be University sponsored or affiliated and the student must receive written approval of the activity from a faculty member or academic advisor in the student’s degree program. Approval of the initial activity does not automatically imply approval of the overall experience.
2. The faculty member or academic advisor will ensure that the activity is of significant duration, intensity and rigor to demonstrate successful application of learned principles appropriate to the expectations of the degree program faculty (it may be that more than one activity could be combined to create a suite of experiential learning activities for a single student that may be approved in satisfaction of this requirement).
3. The focus must be on “learning by doing” in a creative and innovative activity that generally falls outside the realm of the traditional structured classroom experience and contributes significantly to professional and personal development allowing students to reflect on contributions to the S&T or broader community in addition to the student’s development.
4. Finally, a significant experiential learning activity will include a written summary reflection piece that will document the experience from the student’s perspective; this written reflection piece should be of a quality suitable for inclusion as an attachment to a co-curricular transcript or in an e-portfolio that might be submitted by the student to potential employers or to graduate school admissions committees.

Partnership Institution Screening Committee
The Proposal
• Proposal by Dr. David Enke.• To include the phrase “in cooperation with
King Saud University” on the diploma earned by students who meet the degree requirements for the Master of Science in Engineering Management degree.
Procedure: Change to Issuing Diplomas
• CRR 220.020 Change to Issuing Diplomas1. Proposal reviewed by “Screening Committee for
Partnering Institutions for Collaborative Programs”– The vice provost for graduate studies or designee– A representative of the International Affairs office– Two faculty members chosen jointly by the Provost and the
President of the Graduate Faculty Council– One faculty member chosen jointly by the Provost and the
President of Faculty Senate2. If approved by the committee, forward the proposal for
Faculty Senate approval
The Committee• Frank Liou (Chair), S. N. Balakrishnan, Jeanie Hofer,
Suzanna Long, and Joseph Newkirk:1. The vice provost for graduate studies or designee2. A representative of the International Affairs office3. Two faculty members chosen jointly by the Provost and the
President of the Graduate Faculty Council4. One faculty member chosen jointly by the Provost and the
President of Faculty Senate• Committee reviewed the proposal by Dr. David Enke.• Committee agreed with the proposal request for Faculty
Senate consideration.
Background• S&T and King Saud University (KSU) signed a general agreement in
2008, and an educational alliance in 2009.• Since August 2010, S&T EMSE offers MS degrees in Engineering
Management to students located in Saudi Arabia in cooperation with KSU.
• Students are scheduled to take 7 courses through distance education capabilities with the courses taught by Missouri S&T faculty.
• Two 2 courses are taken at KSU, taught face-to-face by KSU faculty that are employed as adjuncts by S&T, teaching EMSE courses.
• The last course, taught during the summer, is scheduled to be taken on the Missouri S&T campus and to be taught face-to-face by Missouri S&T faculty.
Need for Accreditation of the Existing Program
• The Saudi Ministry of Higher Education does not currently grant accreditation to distance learning programs sponsored solely by foreign universities, but recognizing the cooperation of KSU on the Missouri S&T diploma will help show the cooperation between both universities, thereby facilitating accreditation.
King Saud University (KSU)
• Enrollment at KSU stands at 35,810 total students.• Number one rank in Saudi Arabia• Academic Ranking of World Universities: 101-150
category for Engineering/Technology and Computer Science
• Ranked 253 overall in the QS World University Rankings in 2013
• Undergraduate Engineering programs are ABET Accredited
Summary• The screening committee went through the joint diploma
screening process.• Agreed with the request to have “in cooperation with King
Saud University” added to the diploma earned by students who meet the degree requirements for the Master of Science in Engineering Management degree.
• With the condition that validation paperwork be provided as detailed in the CRR and that academic quality should be ensured by checking over the exams given by the adjunct faculty at KSU.
• For consideration by the Faculty Senate.

Common Exams
Student Academic Affairs Committee
Recommendations:1. The period from 5:00-6:00 pm daily is to be reserved for common exams.2. If a class or other required academic activity is scheduled during common exam time, the instructor of the class that conflicts with the common exam will provide accommodations for the students taking the common exam.
The next three slides contain background information presented at the October 24 Faculty Senate meeting.
Department Chairs Subcommittee
Summary of Recommendations:1. Keep common exams.2. One hour across the week should be reserved for common exams. Suggested times: 7:00 am, 12:00 pm (MWF), and 5:00 pm. Need at least three days a week. 3. If a class is scheduled during a common exam time, the instructor of the class that conflicts with the common exam should be prepared to accommodate the students taking the common exam. 4. Flagging the conflicts as prerequisites are flagged in order to send information to students and instructors is not feasible. This also would require that the instructors and students resolve the issue on a case-by-case basis.
