The Chairman welcomed R. E. Henderson, recently appointed to Senate
by Order-in-Council, to his first meeting. J. B. Toor has requested that
a temporary replacement be elected to fill his position for the period
from January 1982 to February 1983, and this election is scheduled to be
conducted at the March meeting of Senate. Three student Senators are
ineligible to continue to hold office as representatives of students on
Senate, and a by-election will be conducted to seek replacements for
•
W. S. Barden, J. M. Crawley, and R.D.I. Starcevich for balance terms of
office to May 31, 1982.
1.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA
The agenda was approved as distributed.
2.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
C. Jones referred to p.3 of the minutes of the Open Session of January
11, 1982 and a statement attributed to C. Strate that the five year plan of
the Centre for the Arts had been approved in principle by Senate. T. Calvert
confirmed that the statement had been made, but that itwas inaccurate as the
proposal for further development had been circulated for information only.
With the deletion of the sentence, "G. Strate added that the plan had been
approved in principle by Senate in the Spring of 1981," the minutes of the
Open
Session of January 11, 1982 were approved.
.
3. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
There was no business arising from the minutes.

D. George, Director of the Program, was invited to participate in the
discussion.
T. Calvert introduced the presentation and provided a brief history of
its development which he considered to be an extremely exciting program and
unique in Canada. D. George outlined details of the academically demanding
program requiring a B average for continuation. He described the practical
experience feature and the requirements for a breadth of studies in the
development of accredited professional engineer graduates.
In response to a question raised by L. Hale, T. Calvert apologized for
the oversight in not mentioning the intention to include student representation
on the various committees proposed for a Faculty of Engineering Science.
F. Einstein questioned the recommendation for a new Faculty, and J. Munro
stated that it was the decision of SCAP that there is a need for the program
to be seen to be under the control of academic engineers and making its own
way, although committee representation of six Faculties will cause some concern
and interim, adjustments to normal committee representation quotas will likely
be required. K. Rieckhoff wanted it to be known that he did not concur with
the SCAP decision.
There was some concern expressed with regard to flexibility of what
appeared to be
.
a rigid structure of course offerings, and D. George stated
the intention was not to give any impression of inflexibility, that numerous
details will require consultation and when the program is put into operation
requirements for revision will become apparent.
J. Munro noted that the proposal would be forwarded to UCBC for Category 2
funding, which means implementation only when specific funding is available.
Question was called, and a vote taken.
MOTION CARRIED
The Chairman expressed Senate's appreciation of the work which had been
done. by the Director and for his attendance during the Senate deliberations.
