Advisory Committees

Curriculum advisory committees advise Natural and Applied Sciences faculty regarding instructional programs in occupational and technical areas. Committees meet at least annually, or as needed to review curricula and community needs. The Natural and Applied Sciences programs advisory committees includes employers, practitioners, recent graduates, and faculty in the following programs: Biology, Biological Chemistry, Chemistry, Computer Information Systems, Computer Sciences, Environmental Science, Healthcare-Nursing, and Mathematics.

Assessment Data

National Standardized Test Scores

In 2012, ETS subject area exam scores of Senior Department of Natural and Applied Sciences of four program areas were compared to other colleges and universities (2011 data). The biology exam data came from 281 schools, the chemistry date from 90 schools, the math exam data came from 320 schools, and the computer science data from 107 schools.

Sixteen EU students took the biology exam, one student took the Chemistry exam, six students participated in the Computer Science exam and seven students took the Math exam. For all of the areas, more data will be required to obtain meaningful assessment information. We will continue to add tested students in subsequent years.

Fall 2012 SciTech ETS Scores for Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Math

Biology National averages Difference between EU averages averages Students tested 16 ------Overall mean score 157 152.6 +4.4 Subscore 1 = 58 52.5 +5.5 Cell biology Subscore 2 = Molecular 53 52.4 +0.6 biology and genetics Subscore 3 = Organismal 55 53.1 +1.9 biology Subscore 4 = Population 57 52.1 +4.9 biology and ecology

Math Difference between EU averages National averages averages Students tested 7 ------Overall mean score 150 153.8 -3.8 Indicator 1 = Calculus 28 34.5 -6.5 Indicator 2 = Algebra 41 37.7 + 3.3 Indicator 3 = Routine 32 36.3 -4.3 Indicator 4 = Non-routine 26 26.5 -0.5 Indicator 5 = Applied 31 34.5 -3.5

Computer Science Difference between EU averages National averages averages Students tested 6 ------Overall mean score 144 149.4 -5.4 Indicator 1 = 42 49.7 -7.7 Programming Indicator 2 = Discrete 36 40.2 -4.2 structures Indicator 3 = Systems 34 39.7 -5.7

All biology scores were above the national averages. The chemistry scores were considerably above the national averages; however, with only one outstanding student taking the test, the data are likely skewed. In math, one indicator score was above the national average; all other scores were below the national averages. All computer science scores were below the national averages. The ETS scores show good performance in biology. The math and computer science scores show room for improvement. Our department’s goal is to be above the national average in every score. Thus, we need to identify causes of lower averages and take steps to improve results. Analysis of test content in both the math and computer science areas reveal that some questions covered material that students had not yet covered in specific courses. Math and computer science faculty are already in the process of redesigning the order of courses in the curriculum to be sure that students are well prepared for each area before the test is administered again. These data will only provide meaningful results if the department is able to administer these tests regularly and increase the size of the dataset. This schedule will require additional funding.

Professional Graduate Admissions (Medicine, Nursing)

Evangel applicants to medical school have been very successful. Since the early 1990’s 92%+ of EU medical school applicants were admitted if their GPA was 3.5 or higher and they scored average or better on the MCAT. This success rate can be attributed to our curriculum, student involvement, research experience, and shadowing. The premed courses have been meticulously tailored to provide the knowledge students need for the MCAT and medical school. Evangel University’s Premedical Society is a very active student-led group that provides information and support to premed students. They visit medical schools, sponsor the bi-annual campus- wide blood drive, and meet for social activities. Many medical schools want applicants to have research experience. EU’s premed curriculum integrates research at several levels, culminating in a mentored research project either on or off-campus. Many of our premed students have taken advantage of these research opportunities. We assist our 18

students in arranging for physician shadowing and medical internships to gain valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of a career in healthcare. Medical schools encourage their applicants to have these experiences. Our students have also been very successful at gaining admission to Cox College’s (collaboration between Cox College and Evangel University) nursing program (mid-90%). EU students this program have a 100% pass rate on the NCLEX exam, required for the RN licensure.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats

SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analyses have been initiated for department programs in Biological Chemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Information Systems, Computer Sciences, Environmental Science, Healthcare-Nursing, and Mathematics.

Strengths are advantages over our competitors. Weaknesses help identify areas in which our competitors are at a competitive advantage over us. Opportunities give insight into untapped markets or programs. Threats help to acknowledge the external environment that could affect the our programs, including technological and regulatory factors.

Chemistry

Reviewers: Dr. Amanda Glass – Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Johnson County Community College, Overland Park, KS Dr. Dave Arnett – Professor of Chemistry, Northwest College Iowa, Orange City, Iowa. Findings are compiled from questionnaires and teleconferences

Finding Recommendation Resources Needed Strengths: Strong Course Work More Interdisciplinary course work More Chemistry Faculty (see and research would be a great below) “T “[classes] are nearly what addition. the ACS recommends as well, which is phenomenal More chemistry faculty are given your small faculty necessary to continue this level of size. I see no superfluous coursework. (see below) classes (I can’t speak to the general ed/religious curriculum) – would love a research methods course, but likely not possible for the already thinly spread faculty.” –Dr. Amanda Glass

Dr. Arnett stated that the course work required for our Chemistry major is high, and it is a strength of

the program.

Strength: The major is preparing None None students for a career in Chemistry but could certainly be improved.

Both Dr. Glass and Dr. Arnett agree that the major is preparing students for a future in chemistry.

Strength: Quality Faculty and Small Class Size

“I absolutely think your students will be well prepared. Your curriculum is comprehensive, and knowing your faculty personally (and professionally), I can speak to their brilliance, kindness, and excellence in communicating science. All major fields of chemistry are covered well, with sufficient laboratory and lecture balance,” – Dr. Glass

“Evangel offers quality faculty and small classes. This leads to personal attention and a “mentoring” approach to teaching that will serve students well.” – Dr. Arnett Weakness: Not enough chemistry Either reduce the major Nothing is needed to reduce the faculty requirements or hire more major coursework, however, this chemistry faculty. will hurt the strength of our “The only glaring weakness I see is program. the two faculty; this puts a lot of “Even increasing faculty by one burden on them.” –Dr. Amanda might allow for more research Funding is needed to hire a new Glass opportunities for the faculty and faculty member. students. This will enhance “It’s my opinion that the major professional development for requirements are too high. Or at faculty and the chemistry least too high for the size of the experience for students. This will chemistry faculty. The list of also likely make students more courses is admirable but I’m prepared for post-graduate life, skeptical that the professors have including getting jobs and time to teach all those courses well, preparedness for graduate school.” remain active scholars, and live – Dr. Glass balanced lives.” – Dr. Arnett “Reducing the load of the faculty by adding a member of the department is really the only

suggestion I can offer for how to help the Drs. DeVore better serve your students.” – Dr. Glass

Weakness: Not enough Dr. Arnett recommends purchasing Funds will be needed to purchase instrumentation the following instrumentation to this instrumentation bring Evangel closer to the ACS “The instrumentation offered to recommended instrumentation: students needs to be increased. NMR You might want to look at the ACS GC-MS accredited program requirements Confocal Microscopy System for some suggestions and strategies regarding instrumentation.” – Dr. Dave Arnett Opportunities: Interdisciplinary Dr. Dave Arnett would like to see coursework would help the more multidisciplinary course work program. within the major, particularly in the analytical chemistry sequence.

Opportunities: New Learning Add a new outcome to the major None outcome integrating faith and science.

“This isn’t a course, but I would consider adding some language to your learning objectives that have to do with the relationship between science and religion. What can be done to help students connect different aspects of their education?”

Weakness: Diversity among New Hires should not be Evangel N/A faculty Alumni when possible

Dr. Glass in concerned with the number of Faculty that are Evangel University Alumni. She feels a more diverse faculty will enhance student exposure and increase their learning.

Strength: Special problems and Hire more chemistry faculty to Funds research CHEM 493 increase the amount of undergraduate research performed “That 493 course seems to be able in chemistry at the University. to be tailored toward student interest. I would imagine this could be geared toward helping students interested in industry get an internship or students wanting to go to medical or professional school shadow a doctor or work in a

pharmacy. It also seems that it could be designed to let students work on a research project that is interesting to them. We keep chemistry majors by exciting and engaging them. This is most easily done in the classroom! Again, this option is great! (Also, I want to repeat that I worry that with the two faculty, the flexibility of this course is limited simply by faculty availability … BUT it also could mean it helps students learn independence, which is also incredibly important. As long as safety standards can still be upheld.)” – Dr. Amanda Glass

Computer Information Systems and Computer Science

A Computer Science (CPSC) Curriculum Advisory Committee of former graduates has been formed to provide program feedback for the purposes of this report and future program analyses. Three graduates comprise the committee and represent a new graduate beginning his first job in the industry, a graduate who did post-graduate studies for an advanced degree and then entered his first job in the industry, and a former graduate who has worked for multiple companies and in multiple environments in the industry. These graduates are the following individuals: - Devon Andreasen A 2016 CPSC graduate who graduated summa cum laude with a 3.939 gpa. He has recently accepted a position as Logistics Administrative Specialist for Aegis Strategies in Swansea, IL.

- Victor Bushong A 2014 graduate with a double major of CPSC and Computer Information Systems (CIS) who graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 gpa. He received the Outstanding Graduate award for both CPSC and CIS and received his MS in Computer Science from the University of Florida in December 2015. He is currently employed as a Software Engineer for Garmin in Olathe, KS.

- Tasheena Morris A 2009 CPSC graduate who graduated with a 3.424 gpa. She has worked for multiple employers, gaining experience in multiple computing environments. She is currently employed as a Software Analyst for

AmeriSource Bergen in Springfield, MO. She received a MS in Organizational Leadership from Evangel University in 2011.

Based on feedback from these individuals and also internal meetings with Evangel personnel, the following strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats can be reported at this time:

Strengths Each Advisory Committee member said that Evangel’s CPSC program adequately prepared them for immediate employment in the industry (and also post-graduate studies). The diversity of subjects covered as well as the help and practical explanations given by the Instructors were mentioned as strengths. The basic core courses were mentioned as being the same as required by larger Universities and specific core courses specifically mentioned as being especially helpful and relevant were Intro to Computer Science, Data Structures, Assembly language Programming, Computer Hardware Organization, Database Management Systems, and Discrete Math. Over the years, the Database Management class has been cited many times by our graduates as being most helpful. In addition, the structure of the senior project was cited by one individual as being a strength. Although, due to Evangel’s smaller size, not as many elective courses are offered as can be taught at a larger University, specific electives mentioned as being enjoyable and/or helpful were Artificial Intelligence and the recently added Java Programming course. One individual mentioned that the program equipped him with a desire to learn (lifelong learning is one of the principles covered in the Software Engineering Code of Ethics). The importance of communication skills was mentioned by each Advisory Committee member. Each CPSC student is required to take Business Communication (as part of the CPSC core) and Effective Communication (as part of the general education requirements). These courses, along with written and oral assignments contribute to the development of communications skills required for industry.

Weaknesses Although somewhat limited due to Evangel’s smaller size, the lack of more elective courses was cited as a weakness. This can be coupled with the desire to have various ‘tracks’ within the CPSC program in which the students can focus on and gain more knowledge in. Possible areas mentioned by the Committee members include cybersecurity, networking, and mobile apps. Internal discussions have been had regarding eventually offering various tracks of study when enrollment increases enough to make that viable. To begin to move toward this, electives in cybersecurity and mobile apps are currently being planned. Incorporating more hands-on training in some of the courses was suggested by the committee members. One specific item mentioned was hands-on (and more) SQL (Structured Query language) training in the Database Management course. This course is being completely redone (and being taught in the FA16 semester) to incorporate the hands-on training requested. It was suggested that coding assignments be done in some of the upper division courses (e.g., Operating Systems) to more effectively teach the concepts covered. The assignments will be examined and modified, as necessary, to incorporate this suggestion. One individual mentioned updating the Visual Basic programming class to a more relevant language (e.g., C#, Android development with Java). Visual Basic meets the visual language requirement for CIS majors and is a ‘second higher order language’ elective for CSPC majors. No discussions have taken place to date with regard to updating this course. A weakness mentioned by the most recent graduate was that CPSC and CIS majors did not seem to be that involved in the department (Department of Natural and Applied Sciences). He felt that getting the majors more involved in the department could lead to more interest in the major(s). This seems to be something that could easily be remedied but discussions have yet to take place on this.

Opportunities Opportunities external to Evangel exist that could be exploited to enhance the CPSC and CIS programs. One of the committee members mentioned exploiting the variety of jobs comprising the computer science field. This would involve visits to local companies as well as seminars/talks by personnel in those fields. A specific company mentioned was the McLane Automation Distribution Center in Republic, MO. This would allow majors to see the variety of jobs available and would increase interest in the field. CIS majors currently have taken field trips in the Intro to Information Systems class but CPSC majors have not had such trips or seminars to date. Contact has been made with the Springfield Better Business Bureau and Evangel’s Career Services Dept. to connect

students with local companies for internships. These relationships are being cultivated to enhance the student’s experience here. Current technologies and methodologies exist that could be tied into the program. Specific items mentioned by committee members were Android or iPhone development, game development with Unreal or Unity, virtual reality technologies (Oculus/Vive). Teaching the Agile development methodology was suggested since many software development teams are using Agile/Scrum now and look for people with experience/familiarity with it. One individual mentioned the use of GitHub. GitHub is a collaborative site for developers and could be very beneficial for team projects, etc.

Threats The primary external threat to the program would seem to be the cost of private universities versus public state universities. Public institutions, like Evangel are much more expensive than the state universities. When we fail to retain a computer science major, most often the reason is lack of finances. It may be that the cost may also be a deterrent to students attending Evangel at all.

Based on the SWOT analysis, tables specifying recommendations and action items determined to date are attached.

Finding Recommendation Resources Needed Need more CPSC electives Add interesting electives (which Possible need for adjunct eventually may lead to ‘tracks’ instructors who are content experts within CPSC) Need to incorporate ‘hands- on’ Add coding assignments to No additional resources needed training/exercises in some of the implement concepts in the OS courses course and do SQL training in the DBMS course Although meeting the 2nd HOL and Migrate from VB to a more relevant To be determined (depending on visual language requirement, VB visual language the language).

Mathematics

This SWOT analysis includes analysis of the Math courses for the Mathematics, Mathematics Education, and Applied Mathematics majors at Evangel. Education courses are covered in the SWOT analysis from the Education Department. For various applied math majors (applied math-chemistry, applied math-physics, and applied math- environmental science), content from the other subject area will be covered in the SWOT analysis from that specific area.

This report was generated with the help of the Evangel University Curriculum Review Committee for Mathematics. Members of this committee are: Dr. Joseph Bohanon (Mathematician – NSA), Mrs. Jill Fink (High School Math Teacher), Mrs. Kate Rodrigues (Data Scientist), and Mr. Nic Thompson (Senior Biostatistician). All are former graduates of Evangel University.

Strengths of the Program:

1. Faculty. Faculty at Evangel not only have invested a large amount of time into their students, but have built relationships that last beyond their years at Evangel. Past students, including those serving on the committee, have expressed gratitude for the time and energy that was invested in their success. 2. Quality of courses. Committee members mentioned that the quality of upper division courses (specifically linear algebra and advanced calculus, as well as foundations of geometry and abstract algebra) were a great help in both their professions and graduate work. Development of critical thinking skills in these courses has been beneficial as students have progressed to advanced degrees.

Weaknesses of the Program:

1. Technology. Three of the four committee members mentioned that a lack of programming methods and use of current technology in their field is a weakness of our current program. Programs that could be helpful

include Matlab, Mathematica, and R. Dependence on the Voyage calculator also can cause students to be slightly underprepared when entering graduate work. 2. Limited Elective Courses. Students could benefit from some more advanced electives that would pertain to their particular area of mathematics, or that could be used for qualifiers. Courses such as Complex Analysis, Point-Set Topology, Combinatorics, and Advanced Statistical Techniques could all be useful.

Opportunities for the Program:

1. Exposure. Evangel has a unique opportunity in spring 2017 to host the national Kappa Mu Epsilon conference. This conference will bring two and a half days of undergraduate research and workshops to campus. This will allow not only all of our current students to be exposed to a variety of undergraduate research, but is a great marketing moment for prospective students.

Threats for the Program:

1. Funding. Current, limited funding will prevent the mathematics program from addressing the weaknesses mentioned above. While R is a free object-oriented program, it is useful mostly in statistics and numerical analysis. Matlab and Mathematica are quite expensive, and would require a significant amount of the Department of Natural and Applied Science’s budget each year (more than the entire current mathematics budget, on a yearly basis). 2. Limited Faculty. The two mathematics faculty members are currently teaching an extensive amount of hours above a normal faculty load. These faculty are also currently teaching courses outside of the content area, which draws resources away from the mathematics program. Current load and teaching responsibilities negatively affect the program in the following ways: a. Limited Electives. Current loads prevent the ability to explore new courses as well as rotations that would allow for these courses to occur. Students that had requested special topics courses have been turned down due to current load levels. b. Research. Opportunities for undergraduate research are also being limited by lack of availability of faculty. c. Inability to integrate current examples and problems into courses. Lack of time prevents faculty from keeping up with current research that could lead to examples that could be addressed in courses.

Finding Recommendation Resources Needed Students lack programming skills Include more current mathematical None and exposure to mathematical programs in courses. software.

GRANTS

Summer, 1992: I was awarded a National Science Foundation grant for $40,000 toward the equipping of a computer classroom at Evangel University for teaching elementary statistics. I presented a paper reporting the experience with the classroom in a mathematical conference in January of 1994.

Summer, 1992: I received National Science Foundation funding to attend a workshop on implementing technology in Linear Algebra, and in the summer of 1994 1 received additional NSF funding to attend a follow-up workshop.

1981, 1984, and 1987: I received 3 year operating research grants from the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

KAPPA MU EPSILON

I am club sponsor and corresponding secretary for the local chapter of Kappa Mu Epsilon. KME is a national mathematics honor society. I usually host at least one club social per year at my home as well as having monthly meetings at Evangel. I have attended most of the national and regional conventions since returning to Evangel in 1987.

I was elected and served as the National Historian of KME for four years from 1997 – 2001. In 2001 I was elected as National President-Elect and served from 2001 – 2005. In April of 2005 I was installed as the National President of KME, and that term ran from 2005 until 2009.

KME is primarily focused on undergraduate research. Both at Evangel University and through KME I have helped and encouraged students to submit papers for presentation at KME meetings. Several such papers have been presented by Evangel students and subsequently published in the national magazine of KME, The Pentagon. I have had a paper and a problem published in The Pentagon as well.

OTHER PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES

I have refereed papers for the Journal of the American Statistical Association, the Canadian Journal of Statistics, The Pentagon, and SIAM Reviews. I have also contributed papers and solved problems which have been published in The Pentagon.

CLASSROOM EFFECTIVENESS

I have consistently endeavored to maintain a good rapport with my students. This is not a difficult task in the congenial atmosphere at Evangel. I have had many long-term contacts with my former students and I get consistently positive feedback on my classroom methods and effectiveness, and my course evaluation scores are consistently high. I believe that God has given me teaching ability that I intend to continue to use for His glory. I do not consider my position at Evangel a vocation so much as a ministry. It took me several years to come to terms with the fact that God gave me ability in a subject area that is not considered important to most Christians. To learn to appreciate and develop that ability for God’s glory is what Evangel is all about, and I am thankful that I have the opportunity to teach at an institution that integrates faith and learning and does not consider any ability, even mathematics, a second class gift of God.

I feel I am very well prepared professionally for teaching mathematics. My MS degree was in pure mathematics (Algebra), and my PhD was in an entirely different, more applied area (Statistics). I am enthusiastic about my subject, and I try to instill some of my appreciation for mathematics in my students. I have taught all of the math courses in our curriculum and I have introduced several new courses as well. 63

I have introduced technology into several of our math courses. Adding computer usage and assignments to appropriate courses is time consuming but is necessary if our math graduates are going to remain competitive.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Committees: I have served on various committees over the years I have been at Evangel. I have also chaired several committees. I have also helped several committees and faculty with the statistical aspects of their research. I have been especially active in determining results in several of the assessment subcommittees. I presently serve on the Assessment Team.

Spiritual matters: I have a deep burden for the spiritual development of the students and have spoken in chapel several times. I was in charge of faculty prayers for one year. I try to be a Christian example for both the students and other faculty. I start each of my classes with scripture reading and prayer. I have had opportunity to be a spiritual counselor to several of my students who have told me that they admire the way I have integrated my faith with my career and education.

CHURCH ACTIVITIES

I have been an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God since 1988. Prior to that I was ordained with the Pentecostal Holiness Church of Canada where I served as a pastor (for 4 years), a district superintendent (for 6 years), and an assistant general superintendent (for 4 years). Locally I attend Evangel Temple Christian Center. I am involved in the local church program and have spoken several times, both on Sundays and Wednesdays. I also go on church mission trips on a regular basis, usually once or twice a year.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

I donate platelets at the Red Cross on a regular basis. In 2003 I was awarded an engraved watch in recognition of my 200th apheresis donation. Since then I have surpassed the 400 donation level.

I have been a faithful contributor to the United Way campaign for several years.
