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.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA

The agenda was approved as distributed.

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.
