GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Science and technology have been responsible for a profound transformation of the world in the twentieth century, and will drive the economy of the twenty-first century. The objectives of the undergraduate programs of the College of Science and Technology are to prepare students for careers in these important areas, and to graduate informed, responsible citizens.

The College presents science and technology as a body of knowledge that has an advancing frontier and a complex interface with society. The traditional mandate for a university is to introduce undergraduate students to what is known, and to give them the opportunity to focus closely on one particular area of study. The College of Science and Technology accepts this mandate, and offers undergraduate students additional opportunities as well. Students are encouraged to participate in faculty research investigations and thus to witness the advancement of the frontiers of knowledge. The Center for Student Professional Development will introduce undergraduate students to the interface between science and technology and society by offering work experience as interns in technology companies and agencies, and by helping them to prepare for careers in these areas.

All undergraduate students in the College must satisfy the requirements of the Core Curriculum. This curriculum is designed to prepare students to be fully engaged members of the University community and of the society to which they will commence, by ensuring that all have adequate skills in communication and quantitative reasoning, and a common background in the social sciences and humanities. In a world where information is becoming highly specialized, the ability to speak and write well -- to communicate and express ideas in language that is clear and precise -- is an essential asset of an educated person. The increasing reliance of society upon numerical data makes it essential for all educated citizens to understand how meaningful inferences can be obtained from data, and how to recognize fallacious inferences, intentional or unintentional. Informed judgment requires awareness of the diversity of cultures, and knowledge of our intellectual heritage and the major texts through which it is transmitted. Personal fulfillment rests upon the appreciation of truth and beauty manifested in works of religion, philosophy, and the arts.

Baccalaureate programs lead from the Core Curriculum toward mastery of the subject matter, methods, and values of a chosen field, and prepare the student for productive work or for graduate study. Bachelor of Science programs offer greater concentration in the major; Bachelor of Arts programs offer greater breadth of choice. All programs offer undergraduates the opportunity to work with distinguished faculty and a richly diverse and stimulating student body as they prepare for an active role in a future of change and challenge.

Awards and Student Associations

Awards

Many awards are granted to juniors and seniors for outstanding performance in many scholastic areas and for exceptional service to the College. Information is available in department offices or in the Office of Undergraduate Advising, Barton Hall.

Majors' Associations

Many of the departments within the College of Science and Technology support student interest organizations known as Majors' Associations. Each department organization provides an opportunity for students to interact with other students of similar interests as well as their faculty. It is here that the student can have the most influence on course offerings, faculty, and departmental functions.

College Council of Science and Technology (CCST)

The College Council of Science and Technology is the student government of the College of Science and Technology. This council is an effective and responsive student government that promotes the general welfare of the student body of the College of Science and Technology. This government is a medium for student opinion and expression concerning matters relevant to the student body and the College.

• All students, graduate and undergraduate, are welcome to become members of CCST.
• Major Associations within the College are eligible to receive funding from CCST.
• General Assembly (GA) meetings are held every month and GA is opened to all CST students.

For additional information, call (215) 204-8262, or come to our offices in Barton Classroom (BB) 108.

Policies and Regulations

University policies and regulations generally apply to all undergraduate students and provide a framework within which schools and colleges may specify further conditions or variations appropriate to students in their courses or programs.

Academic Residency Requirements

Students who transfer into CST must complete at least 30 semester hours of course work in the College, and at least half of the courses required in the major at Temple.

Course Eligibility

College of Science and Technology undergraduate courses are of three kinds:

1.Preparatory courses numbered 0001-0049: open to all students, full-time, part-time, matriculated, and non-matriculated.

2.Lower Level courses numbered 0050-0099: open to all students including non-matriculated students who are in the process of completing required remedial courses or who have completed them, and who have completed appropriate course prerequisites.

3.Upper Level courses numbered 0100-0399: open to all matriculated students who have completed all necessary remedial courses and appropriate course prerequisites. Open as well to all non-matriculated students who have achieved matriculation equivalency (see below) and have completed appropriate course prerequisites.

Courses Taken Elsewhere by CST Students

Matriculated Temple students are required to petition for the prior approval of their dean to take courses at another institution. Courses taken without such approval cannot be applied to graduation. Petition forms are available at the Office of Undergraduate Advising in Barton Hall.

Courses Inapplicable to Graduation

Semester hours earned in Mathematics 0015 (formerly Mathematics 0001), Military Science, RCC-Enhanced are excluded from the total minimum semester hours required for graduation.

Dean's List

Each semester, undergraduate students who achieve a grade point average of 3.5 or above for the semester with 12 or more graded credits toward the degree and with no grade of Incomplete or "R" are selected for the Dean's List. A letter of congratulation is sent to each of these students.

Grading

1.Major, Minor, and Core courses must be completed with a letter grade of C- or higher.
2.Credit/No Credit -- during the junior and senior years, any College of Science and Technology student in good standing, who is taking a minimum of 12 semester hours, may elect to take one course each semester on a Credit/No Credit basis. Courses taken for Credit/No Credit may not be used to satisfy major, minor, Core, or distribution requirements. Application must be made at the Office of Undergraduate Advising, Barton Hall, during the first two weeks of the semester in which the course is offered (the first three days for a summer session course).

Graduation Procedures

In the first semester of the senior year, all students are required to review, with advisers in the Office of Undergraduate Advising, a summary sheet indicating the requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degree which remain to be completed. The Advising Coordinator for the student's major department reviews the summary, and a copy is sent to the student to delineate the courses that remain to be completed in the final semester.

Appointments for this review will be scheduled in the Office of Undergraduate Advising, Barton Hall, in the fall semester for graduations anticipated the next May and in the spring semester for graduations anticipated the next August and January.

Notice of Anticipation of Graduation

Early in the semester in which students will complete their degree requirements, they must notify the Office of Undergraduate Advising, in writing. Forms for this purpose are available at the Office of Undergraduate Advising. The deadline for returning the form is:

October 6, 1999, for fall semester 1999;
February 3, 2000, for spring semester, 2000;
October 5, 2000, for fall semester, 2000;
February 2, 2001, for spring semester, 2001.

Matriculation Equivalency

Upon completion of all required remedial courses and at least four or more lower level courses accruing no fewer than 12 semester hours of credit, a student with an average of C or better will be granted matriculation equivalency. Students with such equivalency may register for any CST undergraduate course for which they have met the prerequisites. Full matriculation, however, including admission through the Admissions Office, is required for any student to enter a degree program. Admissions applications may be obtained at the Office of Admissions, Conwell Hall.

Plagiarism and Academic Cheating

Academic Advising

The Role of the Academic Advisor

Academic advising services are provided both by faculty and professional staff members. Advisors assist students in developing both short and long-term academic plans.

Students meet with professional advisors for their initial registration upon matriculation into the College of Science and Technology (either at New Student Orientation or after approved for Intra-University Transfer). Advising after that point is primarily offered by the faculty members in the student's major department; allowing for good career planning and recommendations for appropriate courses.

The Office of Undergraduate Advising

College of Science and Technology students' professional advising needs are served in our Office of Undergraduate Advising, located in Barton Hall. Specialized services offered by this office include:

New Student Orientation- Advising and Registration for new freshmen and transfer students.
Walk-In Advising and Registration Services- Students may want to meet with professional advisors at different times during their academic career to check on remaining graduation requirements. Terminal Registration (with a signed Registration/Schedule Revision form) is required for students with a GPA below 2.00 and for any students registering for 18 or more credits.
Transfer Credit Evaluations and Reviews- transfer credits are checked against collegiate and Core Curriculum requirements.
Academic Planning and Goal Setting gives students the opportunity to examine in depth their career options within a particular discipline and to explore other academic and personally fulfilling interests with the guidance of an advisor.
Graduation Reviews are a check at the end of the Junior year to help students understand and plan for their remaining graduation requirements. Students who have completed 75 credits should schedule an appointment with a professional advisor for this review.
Petitions for Exception to Policy are reviewed on a rolling basis by the Coordinator of Undergraduate Advising. Typical petition requests include those for overload approval, to attend another institution for a semester or summer session, curriculum exceptions and the like.

Departmental Advising

After their New Student Orientation advising and registration session, students' academic credentials are copied and forwarded to their major department for subsequent advising and registration. (An original file is always maintained at the collegiate level in the Office of Undergraduate Advising.) Faculty advising is very important in developing ties between a student's academic program and his or her professional goals. Faculty advisors may assist students in finding research opportunities and professional internships and will help students choose courses that will best prepare them for their field of interest within a particular discipline.

Academic Advising and Student's Responsibility

All academic advisors are trained to read and evaluate information carefully to give students the best possible advice. However, primary responsibility for curriculum completion rests with the student. The College cannot assume liability for errors in advising. Every student must be aware of the requirements of his or her degree, and should obtain advising on a regular basis to ensure timely completion of his or her program.

Student Advisors/Ombudspersons

Each department in the College of Science and Technology has a Student Advisor/Ombudsperson (SA/O) who is a qualified undergraduate major in that department. The SA/O is thoroughly familiar with requirements and curricula of the department, and can competently advise fellow students on the courses and faculty members of the department. He or she also has information about career options for the department’s graduates.

Student Grievance Procedure

The SA/O is familiar with the College of Science and Technology Grievance Procedure, and is the first person to consult in case of an academic grievance. The SA/O will serve as a student-faculty "go-between," and attempt to resolve the grievance. A student must initiate this first stage of the academic grievance procedure no later than 30 days after the beginning of the fall or spring semester immediately following the completion of the course in which the grievance occurred. A copy of the College of Science and Technology grievance procedure can be obtained from the SA/O. Each SA/O has an office in his or her department, and the SA/O program coordinator is located in the Office of Undergraduate Advising.

Continuing Student Registration

Continuing student registration is the period during the fall and spring semesters when currently enrolled students should register. Degree Audit Reports (DARS) provide a compact summary of a student’s progress toward a degree, including a list of requirements yet to be completed. Students obtain their DARS documents from the office of their major departments.

Prior to processing their registrations, freshmen meet with advisors in a group setting to review their DARS documents, discuss course selections for the upcoming semester and have their Personal Identification Numbers (PINS) activated. New transfer students and continuing students in good academic standing are encouraged to meet with their departmental advisors before processing their schedules via telephone registration. Students ineligible to use telephone registration are required to meet with an advisor.

Pre-professional Advising

Students planning a career in one of the health professions should consult the Health Professions Advising Center in Curtis Hall.

Early Admission to Professional Programs

Students in the College of Science and Technology who have been admitted to health-related professional schools at the end of their third year and have completed 90 semester hours, including all of the requirements of the College and of their majors with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5, may petition the Dean for the transfer of their first year in professional study toward the completion of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

Requirements for the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Degrees

Note: Students matriculated in the College of Science and Technology before fall 1988 and students transferring from another university or college with 15 or more credit hours into the College of Science and Technology before September 1990 are not obligated to complete the graduation requirements listed below. Such students may continue to follow the program described in the 1987-1988 Bulletin with the transition modifications specified in the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin Supplement. This special Supplement is available at the Office of Undergraduate Advising in Barton Hall as well as from departmental advisors.

The College of Science and Technology offers the student either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. The B.A. degree gives students a broad-based education, including the study of a foreign language. The B.S. degree, is for those students who wish more specialized professional training.

Credit Hour Requirements

The College of Science and Technology requires that students complete a total of 123 credits. Of that total, 90 credits must be in CST or College of Liberal Arts (CLA) courses. Of those 90 credits, 45 must be in upper level CST or CLA courses. Of those 45 credits, students receiving a Bachelor of Arts (as opposed to Bachelor of Science) degree must take two courses numbered 100 or above in the College of Liberal Arts.

Students must also satisfy the requirements of the University Core Curriculum program under which they entered.

The detailed explanations of the College of Science and Technology's credit hour requirements appear in the paragraphs that follow.

The B.A. and the B.S. degrees both require a minimum of 123 credit hours, distributed according to University and College policy outlined below, with at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum 2.0 GPA must also be maintained in CST and CLA courses and in the major department.

To earn a CST baccalaureate degree, a student must complete a minimum of 90 semester hours in CST or CLA courses (taken either at Temple University or in equivalent transfer credit).

A course shall be classified as a CST or CLA course if it is listed in the CST or CLA course description section of the Temple University Undergraduate Course Description or if it is in the department of Economics.

A student with an inter-collegial or interdisciplinary studies major can obtain information concerning the minimum number of semester hours in CST or CLA courses required for graduation from his or her major advisor and from the description of the major found in this Bulletin.

These credit hour requirements apply to students who matriculated during or after the fall semester 1995.

A maximum of nine semester hours in preparatory courses (courses numbered 0001-0049) may be applied to any baccalaureate degree. Semester hours earned in Mathematics 0015 (formerly Math 0001), military science, and RCC-Enhanced are not credited toward the minimum semester hours required for graduation.

Bachelor of Science Requirements

Core. In addition to the requirements above, Bachelor of Science candidates must complete the University Core Curriculum in effect at the time of their matriculation.

Major. They must also complete the requirements of a departmental major. B.S. majors are offered the following programs:

Biochemistry
Biology
Chemistry
Computer and Information Sciences
Geology
Mathematics
Mathematics and Physics
Physics

Special Major and Minor Requirements

Interdisciplinary Major. Rather than major in an existing department or program, students may apply for a major in Interdisciplinary Studies. The proposed major should consist of courses totaling at least 36 semester hours, and be justified in terms of some thematic unit of cohesive rationale. The program should not closely resemble any major currently available in the College of Science and Technology, or any other Temple University program.

The proposed major program may include courses outside of the Colleges of Science and Technology and Liberal Arts, but at least 24 semester hours must be in upper level Science and Technology or Liberal Arts courses. The student's proposal must be sponsored by two faculty members from different departments, at least one from the College of Science and Technology.
Approval for the program must be obtained from the Office of Undergraduate Advising prior to the initiation of the last 60 semester hours of the degree.

Honors Interdisciplinary Major. Students in the University Honors Program may apply for a College of Science and Technology Honors Interdisciplinary Major. They must complete the degree requirements of the B.A. in the College of Science and Technology and the requirements for the Interdisciplinary Major described above as well as the requirements for the University Honors Program. Approval for this program must also be obtained from the University Honors Committee prior to the initiation of the last 60 semester hours of the degree.

In addition, the proposed Major Program should include submission of an acceptable Honors Thesis to the University Honors Steering Committee.

Minor. Students may also choose to complete the requirements for a minor. The minimum acceptable grade in a course taken to fulfill minor requirements is C-. The minimum GPA for all CST minors is 2.0. This requirement is superseded in any specific minor program that requires some higher GPA. At least half of the courses taken by a student to fulfill the minor must be taken at Temple. Forms for declaring a minor are available in the following programs:

Biology
Cognitive Neuroscience (see Psychology)
Computer and Information Sciences
Mathematics
Mathematical Economics
Physics

Double Major. Students may complete a double major by fulfilling all requirements for both majors, including at least four discrete courses in each.

Geology

Gene C. Ulmer, Advisor
(215) 204-7171

The Department of Geology offers two different undergraduate programs, one leading to the B.S. in Geology and the other leading to the B.A. in Earth Science.

The B.S. program prepares students for immediate entry into a career in geology or for graduate studies. Career opportunities for geologists in industry and government include environmental planning, evaluation of waste disposal sites, groundwater monitoring, and exploration for natural resources. The B.S. program is excellent preparation for graduate study and ultimately for a career in research, teaching, industry, or government.

The B.A. program is not intended for prospective geologists, but for liberal arts students who wish to concentrate in geology. The B.A. program is suitable for pre-medicine or pre-law students, or for students planning to teach earth science in secondary school.

Note: A departmental field trip for undergraduates, graduates, and faculty will be conducted during the fall semester.

Students whose cumulative GPA is at least 3.25 at the end of the first semester of their junior year are eligible to undertake a senior research project. In the second semester of their junior year, students must select a faculty research advisor and, with the advisor, prepare a written research proposal. After approval of the proposal by the research advisor and the Chair of the Undergraduate Committee of the Department, the student may register for three hours of Geology 0293-0294 (Individual Study Program), in the summer and each semester of the senior year (up to a total of nine hours), to carry out the research project. Normally, the project will involve field or laboratory work in the summer between the junior and senior years and lead to presentation of the results at a departmental seminar at the end of the senior year.

Distinction in Major

To graduate with Distinction in Major, students are required to achieve a 3.5 GPA for the aggregate of courses required for the

B.S. in Geology or the B.A. in Earth Science.

Minors in Electrical and Mechanical Science

These minors are designed for physics majors considering graduate work in electrical or mechanical engineering, or exploring career opportunities in branches of engineering close to physics. The student must maintain a GPA of 2.5 or better in these minors. Students who are interested in engineering/applied physics but do not have time for a full minor should nevertheless review these minors and consult with the physics advisor about the possibility of taking courses in engineering. Since physics and engineering core curricula overlap significantly, often a physics major can learn an interesting engineering specialty by taking a relatively modest number of courses.

Requirements for the Electrical Science minor are: EE 0161, EE 0165, EE 0210, plus a minimum of nine semester hours of 0200 and 0300 level electives, chosen in consultation with an advisor in the Electrical Engineering Department. (The labs for Engineering 0163 and EE 0165 largely duplicate labs for Physics 0187 and Physics 0221 and are not required.) The following example elective sequence emphasizes solid state devices and might be of particular interest to a physics major: EE 0254/0255 and EE 0256/0257.

Requirements for the Mechanical Science minor are: Engineering 0134 or 0131, Engineering 0133, Engineering 0234, ME 0231, plus a minimum of nine semester hours of electives. The elective courses can follow one of three tracks. The thermodynamics and combustion track comprises ME 0154, 0371, 0381, and 0372. The electro-mechanical systems and control track comprises EE 0063 and 0066, ME 0221, and ME 0322 or Engineering 0382. The computer aided manufacturing track comprises Engineering 0310, ME 0375, and MET 0152.

Five-year Master's Program
