EDLEED Scheduled Program Review Date NA 2022-2023
EDLEED Program Goals and Objectives NA To graduate educational leaders that have shown their ability to:\\n1. become stewards of the profession;\\n2. identify critical problems of practice; and,\\n3. use methodological skills to be capable consumers of research and serve as scholar-practitioners.\\n
EDLEED Learning Outcomes NA 1. A doctoral candidate critically evaluates the existing research to understand the state of the literature as it applies to problems of practice.\\n2. A doctoral candidate brings together leadership teams and scholars to identify and define a problem of practice that are directly observable, actionable, connects
to broader strategies and is high leverage.\\n3. A doctoral candidate constructs a method of inquiry that is sound and appropriate to the problem of practice.\\n
EDLEED Description and justification of the request Admin update for courses not found. | Admin update for courses not found. 1. Updating admissions and degree requirements.\\n2. Correcting formatting and improving clarity. These changes only affect 15 credit hours of coursework. Two
course tables were combined into one course table. In addition the course sequencing was edited (which gives the impression of more substantive changes than actually occurred).
\\n3. Adding goals and objectives. | The previous admissions information in the catalog pointed towards the website for information.
This catalog update reflects what the program has been requiring and simply provides that detail here in the catalog. \\nThe changes are reflective of a longterm program self study conducted in collaboration with the University Council for Educational Administration
(the primary EDLE professional association of which the University of Arkansas is an
institutional member) and CPED (The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate). They
are designed to improve the student cohort's exposure to experiences that help them navigate rigorous research experiences with site-based problems of practice.

MATEMS Description and justification of the request Reconfiguration of the Microelectronics- Photonics MS program into the MS in Materials Engineering (MATEMS) programs and MS in Materials Science (MATSMS).\\n\
\nA separate CIM block will need to be created for the MS in Material Science curriculum.
Also, each concentration listed above will need to be created for both the MATEMS and the MATSMS as well. | Program has developed with a clear focus on materials science and engineering which is a nationally recognized degree. Given a world-class materials research building and facilities, faculty trained in materials and research on materials, the marketability of our graduates can be improved by granting them degrees in Materials Science and Materials Engineering. With an established track record (grants, MS graduates produced, publications, facilities, etc.), the program should soon be recognized as a top national program. This will further attract top students and faculty, result in more research funding, and garner increased interest from industry		 Replacing a MATEMS core course (MEEG 591V Special Topics - Introduction to Manufacturing) with an option to take one of four courses (MSEN 5733L, ELEG 5243L, ELEG 5293L,
MEEG 5633).\\n\\nAdd Washington Accord as clarification of ABET equivalency for admission to MATEMS program. | MEEG 591V (Special Topics - Introduction to Manufacturing) is
no longer offered; believe it is important to keep a "make" course as part of the MS core. Approved by faculty at August 31, 2020 faculty meeting.

Faculty are exploring other potential screening exams and will consider the addition of another screening exam if it is determined that it would add value to the admission process.
