W&M to be US academic home of submarine production

[Anonymous]

And as a follow up to my last reply - the new dean of the computing and physics school just stepped down as director of operational test and evaluation at the DOD. Hmm probably no connection there.

Doesn't sound like they "turned it down" - sounds like there was a public outcry that it should be part of ODU. W&M's loss.

Faculty didn't think that it made sense to have a med school an hour away from main campus is what I heard. Even vims isn't that far.

You are incredibly obtuse and cannot be taken seriously.

If you have nothing to contribute besides insults, go somewhere else!!

And there it is. Do you mean DOT&E? The dot&e that hegseth demolished as his first order of business?

W&M is working on a new bioengineering program that is expected to be ABET accredited

That would be their first abet degree then I think?

I am a local to SE VA. WM faculty I know all say that WM generally (and they specifically) wanted EVMS and that over time EVMS would have moved classes north across the HRBT. EVMS folks wanted WM over ODU, because WM would boost the EVMS prestige.

Analogously, ODU wanted EVMS to boost ODU’s prestige as a public university with a medical school.

In the end, it was a political decision in Richmond, not a case of rejection by WM.

WM would be smart to take the simple easy step of adding an ABET accreditable BS Computer Engineering degree.

Within the world of ABET, BSCompE has a lot of course overlap with BSCompSci. WM already has a solid CS program, although it focuses more on software than on computing systems.

The main missing piece for the BS CompE would be logic programming (for an FPGA/ASIC using VHDL/Verilog), which could be handled by hiring maybe 1-2 junior tenure-track faculty members. Either Altera or Xilinx would happily provide needed FPGA development boards to a teaching lab — at a deep discount. The necessary basic electric circuits courses could be taught by Physics faculty, at least initially. Engineering Economics could be taught by Economics faculty. WM has most of the pieces to do this already in hand.

If they one major abet accredited I can't think of why they would stop there within the new school of computing and data and physics

Clearly the smart play on accreditation would be to add BS CompE degree program and then get both CS and CompE (and any other degrees within scope for ABET) accredited in a single pass. The work to accredit 2-3 programs is only slightly higher than to get one program accredited.

(NB: Not sure, but AFAIK, Physics would be outside ABET’s scope.)
