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.

expression; that T. Calvert, D. Zarn, E. Shoemaker, M. Plischke, J. D'Auria,

B. Schoner had done a marvelous job and the University Is indebted to them

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

"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.
