T. Calvert outlined the history of the development of the proposal
for a Faculty of Engineering which he stated was a conservative compromise
utilizing a number of existing courses and the semester system to produce
rather a different engineering program for a limited enrolment and various
constraints. He referred Senate to the documentation of S.81-16 which
outlines complete details.
D. George responded to a number of questions relating to availability
of faculty and market supply and demand, and cautioned that the success of
an innovative approach can be measured only by experience.
A number of Senators commended the committee on the presentation.
Question was called, and a vote taken.

The Chairman asked that proponents of the submission join the
assembly to respond to queries, and E. Banister and T. Smith took
their places at the table.
A paper prepared by A. G. Sherwood was distributed to Senate at the
request of Dean Cochran. The paper is now numbered S.81-29.
T. Calvert introduced the proposal which he said was the result of
fairly extensive planning of some two years and that the presentation is
complementary to the recently approved Environmental Toxicology programs.
M. Mackauer was not prepared to suggest that the programs are comple-
mentary but that the topics are, and he saw serious shortcomings in the
Occupational Health proposal. T. Smith defended the submission and quoted
from a publication of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare
which summarizes the credit course offerings of a number of American
universities for post graduate professional training in the same field.
E. Banister stated that the object of this proposal is to address an inter-
mediary
position
of monitoring the environment and analysis of its effect
on the human being.
K. Rieckhoff and T. Arrott spoke in opposition to the motion.on the
e
insufleien
eseuee . ...__tment to premate a new idea.
Moved by T. Arrott, seconded by R. Starcevich,
"That Paper S.81-17 - Extended Studies Diploma in
Occupational Health Science be referred back to the
Department for further consideration."
T Calvert noted that referral would cause. delay of possible imple-
mentation for at least a full year. It was suggested that entry require-
ments be more explicit and restrictive because of science background needs,
and that the program be more demanding than that of BCIT. Referral is to
the Department but for return to Senate it will be through the usual
Faculty, SCUS process.
Question was called on the motion to refer and a vote taken.

If approved, these changes to the admission require-
ments become effective immediately. They do not
include major changes, nor do they conflict with any
statement in the calendar."
In response to a question raised by K. Okuda, A. McMillan stated
that previously it was not practice to make entries for those granted
admission through Appeal Board processes on the basis of extenuating
circumstances, to show academic warning, probation, etc. Approval of
the present paper would allow admission on special entry, as in the
past, but with an entry on warning or probation. There is no proposed
lowering of standards but rather a stiffening of the academic nomenclature
and conditions to be made for the student to successfully proceed.
Question was called, and a vote taken.
