Simon Fraser University
Full Program Proposal: Industrial Mathematics
A. Executive Summary
There is a common perception that mathematics is of basic importance in a great many fields,
but a degree in mathematics is not that useful for the job market. Historically, mathematicians
themselves have done little to counter these perceptions. Recently, though, there has been a
growing movement on the part of the mathematical community to respond very positively.
Organizations such as SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) and the NSF
Institute for Applied Mathematics at the University of Minnesota have been strongly
emphasizing the kinds of directions mathematics must take in order to become a more
prominent source of personnel in industry.
There has been a recent surge of activity in Canada and we in the West can take great pride in
the fact the major impetus has come from Simon Fraser University and the University of
British Columbia. It is no accident this surge started with the creation of the Pacific Institute
for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS). Right from the start PIMS placed industrial interaction
• ?
at the forefront of its activities. In addition, PIMS was the driving force behind the recently
created National Centre of Excellence called M1TACS (the Mathematics of Information
Technology and Complex Systems). This will result in a great deal of funds going into the
interaction of mathematics and industry in the next two decades.
The intended degree program is a natural step towards the goal of producing mathematicians
who are better prepared to move into business and industry. They will be better prepared both
in terms of their backgrounds and their goals. The intended program parallels the SIAM
guidelines for an industrial mathematics program.
The goal of the program is to provide an education with a broad background in computing,
mathematics and basic science. Computing skills are necessary because in industry the
mathematics involved is realized in computer programs. Basic science is necessary because
people working in industry must be able to communicate with other scientists and engineers.
Students who complete this degree program will be capable of bringing strong quantitative
skills to problems arising in a wide range of business and industrial settings. They also will be
able to recognize the mathematical nature of many problems that are often misinterpreted by
people who have little background in mathematics.

This degree program reflects a recent movement within the North American mathematical
community to integrate mathematics and its applications into a much broader segment of
society. Western Canada has taken the leading role in Canada via the Pacific Institute for the
Mathematical Sciences' commitments to interactions with industry and with education. The
interaction with industry which will be brought about through the proposed industrial
mathematics degree program will promote Simon Fraser University's mandate to interact with
the community. Students receiving degrees through this program will be highly marketable
thereby promoting the University's mandate to improve employability of its graduates.
6.
Intended schedule for implementation of the degree program:
We wish to implement the program as soon as it is approved. This is feasible because only one
new course is being introduced.

C. Program Description
1.
What economic/industrial/social/cultural goals is this program intended to
serve?
This program will serve the goal of producing mathematics graduates who have strong
computational skills and an awareness of how mathematics can be used to solve diverse
industrial problems. Such individuals will be useful members of problem-solving teams in a
variety of industries.
How do these relate to identified market niches or societal needs?
There has been considerable publicity regarding the shortage of people with appropriate
technical skills. Engineering firms, oil companies, chemical companies, and consulting firms of
various kinds often have to solve problems which require a multidisiciplinary approach
involving mathematics and/or statistics. This is the context in which graduates from the
program can expect to find employment.
2.
What are the anticipated employment destinations for graduates?
Mathematical modeling, discrete optimization, and continuous optimization in industry.
What potential does this program provide for research and development or job
creation?
Some research/job opportunities may arise through students' co-op semesters. Contacts with
industry will be enhanced by asking outside experts to participate in the teaching of the new
course MATH 402.
3.
Intended learning outcomes of this program? (Skills, knowledge, attitudes or
other attributes). In what way do these outcomes warrant a program of degree
status?
Students will acquire a broad background in mathematics with a focus in one of industrial
statistics, continuous mathematics or discrete mathematics. There will be an emphasis on
mathematical modeling. All students will be required to develop considerable skill in
computing and the use of mathematical software such as Maple, Matlab, and Minitab. A minor
in a science or engineering will be required so students develop scientific breadth in their
approach to problem solving. Co-op work terms (strongly recommended) will develop skills
the student needs to flourish in a business or industrial setting.
An actual major entitled "industrial mathematics" is the first step in building an identifiable
professional industrial mathematician. There is a long history of mathematicians in industry
but it has occurred on a somewhat ad hoc basis, and many companies do not think in terms of
hiring mathematicians.

5.
By what means are these integrated so as to contribute to the intended goals
of the program? Which of these courses already exist at the institution? Which
are new?
The courses will be offered as part of the overall course offerings as determined by the various
departments and schools. Thus, there already is an existing method of offering courses which
attempts to coordinate course offerings so as to help students satisfy program requirements as
expeditiously as possible.
All of the courses in the program already exist except for the proposed new course MATH 402
Industrial Mathematics.
6.
The structure and expected class sizes of courses in this program:
The courses in the program which already exist at Simon Fraser University will not change.
The new modeling course will draw on expertise from the university as well as from industry.
Students will have three or four industrial projects to work on in a team setting during the
course. We will use people from industry to help with problem formulation and problem
solving techniques. The class size for MATH 402 is expected to be 15 initially.
7.
Specialties, majors, or minors to be offered:
There will be both a major and honors degree in Industrial Mathematics through the Faculty of
Science making them B.Sc. degrees. There will be no minor.
8.
What programs exist at other B. C. institutions which contain similar content
or have similar objectives, and, if similar, what is the rationale for duplication?
This program will be the first Industrial Mathematics degree program at the undergraduate
level in B.C. The University of Victoria has an M.Sc. program in Industrial Mathematics, and
the University of British Columbia is proposing an M.Sc. program in Industrial Mathematics.
There is some discussion about having the latter program jointly offered by the University of
British Columbia and Simon Fraser University.
9.
How does this program relate to other programs offered at this institution
(shared or related expertise, other resources, etc.)?
The Industrial Mathematics program will draw heavily on courses in Computing Science, and
also will use courses from other science departments and the School of Engineering Science.

10.
What, if any, other programs will be reduced or eliminated in order to initiate
the new program?
There is no intention to reduce offerings for other programs in the Department of Mathematics
and Statistics.
11.
What, if any, are the research expectations or implications of this program?
There are no research expectations or implications.
D. Admission and Transfer
1.
What are the admission requirements for direct entry students and transfer
students?
The standard requirements for admission into the Faculty of Science apply.
2. What institutional regulations apply to this program (residency requirements,
etc.)?
The usual institutional regulations apply.
3.
Who are the intended students?
Any students who have an interest in mathematics. We are particularly interested in those
students who are good at mathematics but do not see career opportunities in the field, and
therefore often major in other subjects thinking teaching is the only direction one can move
with a degree in mathematics.
What is the evidence that these students are not presently served reasonably
within existing B.C. offerings?
Part of the reason for starting this program is to begin the process of building a highly visible
career profile entitled "Industrial Mathematician". Since this presently does not exist at all, it is
not being served at all.
4. What initiatives, if any, address low participation groups (e.g. aboriginal
students)?
There are no specific initiatives. However, the department has been seeking to improve the
participation of women through measures to improve support for women undergraduate and
graduate students and to provide female role models.

5.
What enrolments are anticipated? How many of these are expected to
represent a new client group (to be additional (new) enrolments) for this
institution?
We anticipate small enrolments at the beginning of the program. If students see graduates
having success in employment, enrolments will increase. Since it will be one of the only
undergraduate programs of its type, some new students will be attracted to the university.
6.
What articulation arrangements with other programs and institutions now
exist and are planned?
There is a long-standing articulation organization, the BCCUPM, in British Columbia which
has led to a smooth transfer of information regarding mathematics programs between the post-
secondary organizations of British Columbia. It will function well for this program too.
7.
What provision is made to enable students to receive credit for learning
previously achieved outside the B.C. post-secondary system?
The University routinely assesses relevant learning from other jurisdictions and admits students
from other Canadian provinces (secondary schools, CEGEP, institutes of technology,
universities, and degree holders), as well as students from other countries. In addition, students
may obtain credit through course challenge procedures.
E. Learning Methodologies
1. What learning environment and methodologies will be developed so as to
achieve the intended outcome of the program?
Most of the courses in the program already exist at SFU so that the question does not pertain to
them outside of the influence success in the Industrial Mathematics modeling courses might
exert. The new modeling course will be taught differently from other mathematics courses.
The course will be team taught using faculty members from the Department of Mathematics
and Statistics and people from industry. There will be several projects during the semester and
students will work in teams.

2. What use will be made of:
?
S
experimental learning (cooperative education, clinical, etc.)?
Students in the Industrial Mathematics Program will be strongly advised to earn a co-op
designation for their degree by completing four co-op work terms while completing the
academic requirements for the degree. Also, students will be urged to take two of the four
work terms consecutively after completing
85
credit hours towards the major. This will
enable students to gain real working experience.
•
distance education?
None.
• independent study, computer-assisted instruction, etc.?
None
F. ?
Faculty
1.
How many faculty and other staff are required, and with what qualifications?
One third of a new faculty position is required in order to avoid having to reduce other course
offerings. This is accounted for by offering the new modeling course once a year.
In addition, one third of a new faculty position in the School of Computing Science is required.
Without new resources the School of Computing Science may not be able to continue offering
CMPT 305-3 (Computer Simulation and Modeling) which is important for the proposed major.
2.
Will there be any differentiation of faculty roles (instruction, curriculum,
research, innovation, etc.)?
No.
What are the percentages of time spent on teaching, research, and/or other
roles?
The normal breakdown in time between these areas of responsibilities is: teaching 40%;
research and scholarship 40%; and service/administration 20%. There is a
50%
reduction in
teaching responsibilities for new faculty during their first year of work.

G. Program resources
What resources will be required to assure a program of acceptable quality?
(a)
Operating Funds
One third of a faculty position for the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and one
third of a faculty position for the School of Computing Science.
(b)
Library/Media/Computing/Communications
We will need a software licence to allow Matlab to be used by the students in this course..
(c)
Facilities
Nothing additional.
(d)
Equipment
Nothing additional.
(e)
Special Resources (institutional, community, naturaYen vironmental, etc.)
People from industry will be used to assist in teaching the new course MATH 402
Industrial Mathematics.
(f)
Start-up or Development Needs
We will seek alternative funding to help support the use of industrial
scientists/engineers/mathematicians to assist in teaching of the mathematical modeling
course.
H. Program Consultations and Evaluation
1. What consultations have occurred with professional associations,
employers, educational institutions? Please attach any written endorsements or
comments.
We discussed the program with several industrial people in B.C. who represent small and large
companies (letters from several of these people are appended at the end of the proposal). We
also discussed the general outline of the program with Dr. Avner Friedman of the NSF Applied
Mathematics Institute in Minneapolis. We relied heavily on the publication
(How To Start
an
Industrial Mathematics Program)
published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
in Philadelphia.
Who else was involved, and how, in the collection and evaluation of information
leading to the development and submission of this proposal?
. ?
Drs. Brian Aispach and Michael Monagan jointly formulated this proposal after consulting with
colleagues at SFU and people from industry.

2.
What suggestions would your institution make to assist the DPRC in
evaluating this proposal (names of appropriate program experts, sources of
supplementary data or information, etc)
Dr. Avner Friedman at the Institute for Applied Mathematics at the University of Minnesota is
an expert in the area. He is also one of the authors of the booklet "How To Start an Industrial
Mathematics Program" mentioned above. Thus, this booklet is a good source of information.
3.
After the program is implemented, what procedures are planned for ensuring
adequate depth and breadth of ongoing review and evaluation?
Simon Fraser University has a cyclical procedure for reviewing programs and departments.
This program would be evaluated as part of the normal process. The department will monitor
the program very closely in its early stages.
4.
What provision is made for ongoing membership on advisory committees to
this program, or what other means are provided for maintaining extra-
institutional perspectives?
There will be an Industrial Mathematics Program Advisory Panel. The proposed membership
is: three members from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, one member from the
School of Computing Science, one member from Biological Sciences/Chemistry (alternating
terms of two years each), one member from Engineering/Physics (alternating terms of two
years each), and one member from industry.
5.
What is the nature of the ongoing involvement of professional or other
certifying or accrediting organizations?
There is no such organization at this time, but this brings up an interesting point. There is some
sentiment towards creating a certification process for an industrial mathematician designation.
If such action takes place, such an organization would have considerable effect on the program.
There is a good chance Simon Fraser University will play a leading role in the creation of any
certification procedure.

This program is an interdisciplinary one which combines a broad education in mathematics with courses in science
or engineering and strong computational skills. Industry is looking for mathematicians with a basic training in
science or engineering who can communicate effectively with scientists and engineers, and who can tackle industrial
problems whose solution requires substantial mathematics and/or statistics. The program aims to meet this need.
In addition to the program requirements set out below, general university and faculty of science regulations for a
major or honors degree, as the case may be, must be satisfied.
Major Program
The program requirements consist of core requirements and two area requirements.
The first area requirement is chosen from Group A:
Continuous Mathematics ?
Discrete Mathematics
?
Industrial Statistics
.
?
The second area requirement is chosen from Group B:
Biological Sciences
?
Chemistry
?
Computing Science
Earth Sciences
?
Engineering Science
?
Physics
Students should seek advice as to which options from Groups A and B fit well with their eventual career goals. The
following combinations are expected to be the more applicable ones for industry:
• Industrial Statistics and Biology
• Continuous Mathematics and Chemistry
• Discrete Mathematics and Computing Science
• Discrete Mathematics and Engineering Science
• Continuous Mathematics and Earth Sciences
• Continuous Mathematics and Engineering Science
• Continuous Mathematics and Physics
Similar care should be exercised in choosing the courses used to satisfy the Group B requirement.
Except in the case of Engineering Science, electing an option in Group B requires admission to the corresponding
minor which must be sought from the relevant department or school. Admission to the Computing Science minor
program is highly competitive; see the Admission section of the Computing Science entry to be found in the Faculty
of Applied Sciences part of the calendar.. For the Engineering Science option students must meet the same GPA
requirements as required of students in the BAR program by the the School of Engineering Science.
The core requirements and the details of the options in groups A and B, are listed below.

Co-operative Education Program
Students in the Industrial Mathematics Program are encouraged to enter co-operative education, a program which
integrates work experience with academic study --- the advantage of taking a co-op degree has been strongly
endorsed by representatives from industry. For further details students should refer to the
Co-operative Education
section of the calendar. To obtain a co-op designation for the degree students are required to complete four co-op
work terms while completing the academic requirements for the degree.
Students are strongly advised to complete two consecutive work terms after completing 85 credit hours towards the
major.
Second Bachelor's Degree
If the Industrial Mathematics Major is taken as part of a second bachelor's degree, then the Group B requirement
may be waived if the student's previous degree contains an approved major. Approvals will be given on an
individual basis and the majors approved will not be limited to the five disciplines listed in Group B.
