8/28/2019: Course Change Form MECH 540
Kettering University is eliminating 500 course numbers due to HLC concerns about our 500 level courses. Since our 500 level courses are defined as mezzanine they are not considered to be graduate courses by HLC. The MSE program is being restructured to include 4xx/6xx courses and so some 500-level courses will be offered only at the 400-level and some will be offered as 4xx/6xx.
The Course Number is being changed to MECH-440
12/11/2019: Course Change Form IME 662
This course addition supports MSE programs and fits into the 4xx/6xx paradigm used across the university. In addition to the coursework undergraduates must complete, graduate students are expected to complete additional job simulations using Process Simulate /Jack software for their final project

Course title was changed to match the 4xx version, which was changed a couple years back
1/23/2019: Course Change Form - Business Program Name Change
This proposal includes a change in the name of the undergraduate business program from a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration to a Bachelor of Science in Management, and a realignment of the curriculum to better address the intent of the management program. The name change better reflects the intent of a focus on educating managers as opposed to a focus in specific business disciplines. In particular, the Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) will consist of a rigorous core of management knowledge with emphasis on application; integrating knowing and doing by targeting academic preparation to professional development through coordination with cooperative educational experiences. The BSM will also feature preparation in Systems Management as an approach to fostering integrative understanding of the work of managers in today’s increasingly complex business environment. Additionally, students will have four alternatives for concentration of elective courses from other undergraduate programs at Kettering, as well as resources within the School of Management. These concentrations leverage strengths at Kettering University while also allowing students to significantly personalize their educational experience.
