Overview
Following the May 2012 vote by the Faculty Senate to establish a new Ways of Thinking/Ways of Doing breadth system for undergraduates, the Breadth Governance Board (BGB) began its work in 2013-14. Past Chair Chris Edwards, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy, led the Board’s first task in articulating the purpose and rationales for each of the eight Ways of Thinking/Ways of Doing. It has also established a process by which faculty and departments may certify their courses to fulfill the new general education electives.
Ways of Thinking/Ways of Doing
Eight Ways of Thinking/Ways of Doing were defined, developed, and refined by SUES and approved by the Faculty Senate.
