B.Sc. Degree Proposal

On March 8 1993 the Faculty of Science approved the proposal for

the establishment of a University College of the Fraser Valley/SFU B.Sc.

degree programme (double minors degree). I am now forwarding this

proposal to SCUS for your consideration.

This proposal follows on from the agreement arrived at between

UCFV and SFU for the University College to offer SFU B.A. and B.Sc.

degree programmes. The B.Sc. degree proposal has been developed

by Dr. E.J. Wells (Department of Chemistry) as Director of Science

Programme Liaison with the University College, in collaboration with the

Science faculty at UCFV. Dr. Wells has also worked closely with the

Science Departments here at SFU and in particular with Dr. R.W.

Mathewes (Biosciences), B. Alspach (Mathematics & Statistics) and R.F.

Frindt (Physics), who were assigned by their departments to coordinate

the programme development in each of their disciplines.

Each component of the B.Sc. (double minors) proposal has been

approved by the appropriate Departmental Undergraduate Curriculum

Committee and those considerations included the approval of each of the

specific, new 300 and 400 level courses proposed by UCFV.

The B.Sc. degree programme comprises two minors (and their

lower-level pre-requisites) to be selected from:

Biology

Chemistry

Physics

Mathematics or Mathematics with Statistics.

The Faculty of science Curriculum Committee Committee has

considered and approved the full proposal as has the faculty of Science

as a whole.

A PROPOSAL FOR THE

.

?

UNWERS1TY COLLEGE OF THE FRASER VALLEY

TO OFFER A

B.Sc.: DOUBLE MINORS

1. INTRODUCTION

The University College of the Fraser Valley (UCFV) B.Sc. program aims to provide a broad

general education with specialization in two areas selected from the natural sciences and

mathematics. The specific requirements of the degree include courses to the level of minors in

a minimum of two disciplines. Initially the list of discipline options will include: Biology,

Chemistry, Mathematics, Mathematics with Statistics and Physics. Over the course of the next

decade it is anticipated that the list of minors areas will expand to include additional options.

Similarly, plans to create major options will be given serious consideration as the program

becomes more established. Future plans also include the mixing of Arts and Science minors

options so that students could complete a B.A. or B.Sc. with double minor in an arts

discipline and a science discipline (i.e., a B.A. in Chemistry and Economics or a B.Sc. in

Psychology and Biology).

The requirements for a minor will include a prescribed set of core and prerequisite courses at

the lower level and a minimum of five courses in each minor at the upper level. An additional

requirement at the upper level will include a fourth year course in the history and philosophy

of science (Science 400). This course is considered as a capstone experience for the students

and will help to establish the unique nature of the UCFV program.

2.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

0

?

a. Student Learning Objectives: After completing the four year science degree, the successful

students should be able to:

1.

think critically;

2.

demonstrate a scientific literacy by discussing the unique nature of science - its

development, history and philosophy;

3.

better understand theimportant role science has played and will continue to play in

the development of a healthy, free and vibrant economy;

4.

enumerate the contributions science has made to our society;

5.

make more informed decisions about the important role science will play in the future

of Canada;

6.

use their acquired scientific skills in a manner which makes them successful and

valuable employees;

7.

attain admission to graduate schools by demonstrating the requisite knowledge and

skills needed by these schools.

b. Instructor Objectives: The science instructors of the University College of the Fraser

Valley will strive to:

•

?

1. provide the highest quality of instruction possible;

2. treat all students, regardless of their gender, race, religion, colour, or creed, with

attention and dedication;

---

-2-

3.

develop techniques which will permit student participation in the decisions which

affect their learning environment;

4.

provide an enriched scientific learning environment through extra curricular and

science related activities, i.e., seminars, films, social gatherings, field trips, etc.;

5.

search out and experiment with alternate

forms

of instructional styles;

6.

provide the students with examples of academic courage and intellectual leadership;

7.

ensure that the educational services being provided to the student are current,

germane, and of the highest calibre.

PROGRAM NAME AND DEGREE TO BE AWARDED

Bachelor of Science: Double Minors

4.

PROSPECTIVE AREAS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR STUDENTS COMPLETING

THE PROGRAM

On completion of the B.Sc. double minors degree students will have a high quality foundation

in science allowing them to pursue a wide variety of careers in business and industry or to

pursue further educational opportunities. Students holding a B.Sc. degree are well placed to

compete for entry level positions such as lab technicians or managerial trainees in firms

requiring a background knowledge in the sciences. The B.Sc. double minors degree in two

teachable subjects is considered excellent preparation for students who intend to pursue

professional qualifications for elementary and secondary teaching. It is also very useful

background for students seeking entry into one or other of the professional schools that

require a good grounding in science as a prerequisite. Students wishing to continue their

studies through to the graduate level with a double minor would, in most cases, be required to

complete additional courses at the undergraduate level as part of a qualifying year or as part of

their graduate program.

5.

IMPLEMENTATION

The program will be implemented over the next three academic years (93/94 -

94/95 - 95/96).

It is anticipated that during the initial stages of implementation the demand for third and fourth

year courses will be low, therefore all of the planned third and fourth year courses will not be

offered until such time as enrolments warrant, possibly by the

95,96

academic year. The

minimum number of required third year courses for each minor will be offered in the 93/94

academic year. The same will be the case for fourth year course offerings in the

94/95

academic year.

Predicted Full Time Student Equivalents and Instructors:

In order to establish a viable and successful degree program, the enrolments in first year

courses must be allowed to increase in the preliminary year 1992/93. The transformation from

a two year college to a four year university college will create an increase in the demand for

our first year courses, and when the 17.7% Grade 12 growth in the UCFV catchment area is

also considered a significant growth in our first year program seems likely. Also, there will be

an increased demand for second year courses, necessitating offering additional sections of

second year, especially in biology and chemistry.

ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAM

Students are not officially admitted to the B.Sc. program until they have accumulated

45

credits

which are transferable to SF0, and have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 on the

transferable courses. The

45

credits of courses need not be in courses required for the B.Sc.

degree.

All of the lower levels courses offered as part of the B.Sc. program are transferable to all B.C.

universities. Upper levels courses may in some cases be transferred to a university. Students

should consult with the university of their choice concerning possible transfer credit of UCFV

upper levels courses.

7.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

To qualify for the B.Sc. degree a student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of

2.0. In addition, a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 must be maintained in the upper

levels in each minor subject.

9. ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT

In the next few years the following Department of Natural Sciences changes are likely to be

needed:

a. The growth of the enrolments in the individual disciplines will necessitate the appointment

of Department Heads in biology, chemistry, and physics.

b.

A Dean (or Associate Dean) of Science will be required to coordinate the Science

Department.

c.

A lab supervisor will be required or maybe a lab coordinator for each of the disciplines.

d. A Program Advisor and Coordinator will be required to counsel and advise students as to

the requirements for graduation.

10. UCFV FACULTY MEMBERS AND SUPPORT STAFF

Facult y

qualifications:

The minimum academic qualification will remain a M.Sc. degree, but a Ph.D. degree is

preferred. However, a M.Sc. degree should qualify any faculty member to teach any of the

courses offered, first to fourth year inclusive, that are within their area of expertise. New

faculty will be selected in consultation with SFIJ; demonstrated superior teaching skills will be

preferred over degrees and research experience.

The minimum qualifications for the Faculty Assistants (lab assistants) will be a B.Sc. degree

in their speciality, or comparable training from an institution such as B.C.LT. It is anticipated

that some of the fourth year labs will require lab assistants with advanced degrees, or

comparable training and experience.

The following is a list of the current faculty and their qualifications:

Biolog y instructors:

Ernest Kroeker, Ph.D., Queens University

Barbara Moon, B.Sc., UBC, PhD (education) in progress SF0.

OBJECTIVES: Students will understand currents theories on the

behaviour of substance is aqueous solutions, this will include

experimental determination of activities, applications of the

Gibbs-Duhem equation and Debye-HUckel theory.

In the second (and longer) section of the course students will

come to understand the postulates of quantum mechanics and how

they are applied to electrons, atom and molecules, by the end of

the course students should understand the basics of molecular

orbital theory. Students will be able to relate the information

obtained in the laboratory experimentation to the theorectical

presentations in lectures.

Lecture; Laboratory sessions will be used partly for

experimentation and party for work and for mid-term

examinations.
