An introduction to the design and analysis of computer networks and their applications, including the basics of data communication, network topologies, protocols, routing and switching, naming and addressing. 

2.	Rationale

2.1	Reason for developing the proposed course:

The only current computer networks course in our department is offered at the 400-level; thus, most students take it in their final year. Consequently, they are often behind in the development of what has become core CS knowledge. It is desirable for students to have an introduction to data communication skills and applications as early as possible.

2.2	Projected enrollment in the proposed course:

The estimated demand for this course is one section of 20-40 students per year, based on current enrollment in CS 450. 

2.3	Relationship of the proposed course to courses now offered by the department:

The existing computer network course CS 450 covers many details of data communication, such as routing algorithms, connection management, address resolution, etc. CS 381 will focus more on elementary communication concepts and protocols and promote understanding of the connections between data, communication and applications. 

2.4	Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other departments:

CIT offers Telecommunication I (CIT 370) and Telecommunication II (CIT 372). They focus on applications for business use.

2.5	Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other institutions:

The Computer Science program at Western Kentucky University will follow the same accreditation standards and model curriculum guidelines as other Computer Science programs in the U.S.  Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne offers CS274 Data Communication.  Other schools that offer such courses include San José State University (CS 158A Computer Networks).

2.	Rationale:
2.1	Reason for developing the proposed major program:
Economics is a social science that is heavily dependent on mathematical tools.  In this program, students will become proficient in both mathematics and economics and gain a better understanding of the economic applications of mathematics.   Numerous economics graduates from WKU have expressed the fact that in hindsight they should have taken more mathematics courses in order to prepare themselves better for graduate studies in economics and for applied economics positions.  

The Journal of Economic Literature published a 1991 survey of the American Economics Association’s Commission on Graduate Education in Economics (Vol. 29, No. 3 (Sep., 1991), pp. 1054-1087).  This commission surveyed graduate students and graduate faculty concerning the requirements for and set-up of Economics PhD programs.  One section of this survey dealt solely with the mathematics requirements for a PhD in economics.  The commission found that “Graduate students reported that the level of mathematics used in various graduate courses was about what they believed it should be, which is slightly above level 3 (pg. 1073).”  Level 3 as defined by the commission consists of differential equations, linear programming, advanced probability theory, and applied math.  

One way in which other universities have met this need is by offering a major in mathematical economics.  Such a major not only prepares students better for graduate study in economics, public policy, or business, but it also allows them to obtain positions in applied economics and economic analysis.  Students with strong backgrounds in both mathematics and economics have found increased job opportunities in Kentucky doing economic forecasting, census analysis, applied mathematics, and banking.  Many of these jobs require strong quantitative skills, and a mathematical economics major would be ideal preparation for such positions.  

Furthermore, a major in mathematical economics is ideal for students wishing to pursue a career in actuarial science, especially if they combine this major with a minor in applied statistics or finance.  A mathematical economics major would also be ideal for mathematics students seeking ways in which to further apply their mathematical skills. 

2.2	Projected enrollment in the proposed major program:  15 – 20 students.  This projection is based on expressed interest by students over the last 3-5 years.

2.3	Relationship of the proposed major program to other programs now offered by the department:

The Economics Department currently offers a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Business Economics.  Students who choose the mathematical economics major cannot have economics or business economics as a second major (and vice-versa).  These students may not minor in economics.  The mathematical economics major would contain the core economics courses required in each of these existing majors but would also require a targeted group of mathematics courses to prepare students for graduate work in economics or applied positions in economics or actuarial science.  

The Mathematics Division of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science currently offers a B.A. in Mathematics.  Some of the courses required in this existing major would also be required by the mathematical economics major.  Students who choose the mathematical economics major cannot have Mathematics as a second major (and vice-versa) or minor.  However, they can pursue the minor in applied statistics offered by the Mathematics Division.  The Mathematics Division also offers a B.S. in Middle Grades Mathematics, to which the mathematical economics program would have essentially no relationship.  

2.4	Relationship of the proposed major program to other university programs:

There are no other programs that target specific mathematics and economics courses for their degree requirements.  However, this program will work quite well in conjunction with other majors or minors on campus.  Specifically, individuals interested in actuarial science might find that this major, in conjunction with minors in applied statistics and/or finance, will prepare them well for the actuarial career path.

2.5	Relationship of the proposed major program to similar programs offered elsewhere in Kentucky and in other states (including programs at benchmark institutions):

The only other mathematical economics program within the state is at the University of Kentucky.  UK lists a choice of B.A. or B.S. in Mathematical Economics offered jointly by the economics and mathematics departments.  Our program would differ in that our course selection in mathematics is less concentrated in calculus, and we require additional applied courses within economics.  The WKU program will accept transfer credits for courses taken through the public college and university system as long as the WKU requirements for transfer credit and transferability are met.

One WKU benchmark institution has a mathematical economics major:  Ball State University.  The program at Ball State differs in that it requires courses in finance in addition to mathematics and economics.  

Mathematical economics majors are also found at Columbia University, the University of California San Diego, New York University, the University of Pittsburgh, Emory University, Wake Forest University, Colgate University, Rice University, the University of Richmond, Tulane University, Hofstra University, and Furman University.

2.6	Relationship of the proposed major program to the university mission and objectives:

The proposed major program is consistent with the objectives of the university.  The program prepares students to be productive, engaged leaders in a global society by providing them with the skills and applied knowledge to become competitive in the job market.

3.	Objectives of the proposed major program:
The mathematical economics major seeks to give students broad exposure to both mathematics and economics and to demonstrate to students the widespread complementary applications of the two fields.  Government and industry jobs in economics such as forecasting, applied mathematics, banking or finance typically require extensive mathematical training.  Furthermore, graduate work in economics has become increasingly more mathematical.  In fact, in determining acceptance, graduate economics programs typically place more weight on the applicant’s Math GRE score than any other score or attribute.   

Thus, the primary objective of the mathematical economics major is to prepare students better for graduate studies in economics, public policy, and business and for careers in economics that require extensive mathematical backgrounds.  In this program, students will learn how to analyze economic data using formal statistical methods, to use econometrics in order make predictions and understand correlations, and to analyze optimization models and apply them to economic theory.  The program will also give mathematics students exposure to inherent economic applications of the skills learned in a typical mathematics program.
