ural sites since 1987.  It was difficult to explain to students and others the differences between the two programs.  There was neither need nor resources to deliver two programs to train social service providers.  Therefore it was decided in 1987 that st

\par Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
\par 
\par Computer
 engineering is a relatively new discipline that merges the fields of electrical engineering and computer science.  The discipline of computer engineering (CompE) educates engineers in the theory, design, technology and application of computing devices.  
T
his discipline draws on hardware (electrical engineering) and software (computer science) concepts to design and implement computer hardware and software systems to solve problems.  The understanding of both software and hardware allows the computer engin
e
er to view the design and development of hardware and software as two intimately linked parts of one activity.  A computer engineer might be involved in fundamental research, hardware design and fabrication, software system design, or systems integration.
  Applications of computer engineering can be found in communication systems, the entertainment industry, mobile robot systems, motor vehicle systems, instrumentation, manufacturing processes, intelligent electronics, and many others.

\par Executive Summary
\par M.A.T., Secondary
\par 
\par 
\par In 1998, in conjunction with the development of new post-baccalaureate teacher education programs for elementary and secondary teachers, the School of Education developed a secondary program that allowed post-baccalaureate teache
r education students to earn an MAT degree in conjunction with the coursework and internship required for a teacher education license.  After three years, with ongoing review and reflection of the advantages and disadvantages of the MAT option (including 
the solicitation of a great deal of feedback from mentor teachers and administrators), the School of Education suspended admission to its MAT programs in 2000.  
\par 
\par In place of the MAT, the School of Education designed an option for post-baccalaureate teacher
 education students to pursue the more respected and more rigorous M.Ed.  This option allows post-baccalaureate students to use 15 of the required 30 credits from their licensure program to satisfy one-half of the 30 credits required for a M.Ed. degree in
 Curriculum and Instruction.
\par 
\par This new option has been in place for two years and the response from students, university faculty, and school district personnel has been very positive.  In contrast to the MAT degree, the M.Ed. provides the option for student
s who complete our post-baccalaureate teacher education programs to continue their graduate work with us, and it provides the opportunity for the School of Education to provide professional development and support for beginning teachers.  The M.Ed. can al
so be used as a foundation for a Ph.D. because of its requirement for research and the completion of a research project or a thesis.

\par M.A.T., Secondary Licensed Teachers
\par 
\par 
\par In 1999, in conjunction with the development of new post-baccalaureate teacher education programs for elementary and secondary teachers, the School of Education developed:  (1) a secondar
y MAT degree for teachers who held either BA/BS degrees and (2) B.Ed. degrees, and additionally were licensed K-12 teachers, to pursue a MAT degree to enhance their content knowledge and receive current educational philosophy and pedagogy courses.  After 
f
our years, with ongoing review and reflection of the advantages and disadvantages of the MAT option, during which only one student applied for either option and then choose to complete a different degree, the School of Education made a decision to delete 
both options of this degree.  
\par 
\par In place of the MAT, the School of Education offers the option to pursue the more respected and more rigorous M.Ed.
\par 
\par The M.Ed. provides the opportunity for the School of Education to provide professional development and suppo
