Professor Herbert Rebhun (College of Business)

The FACIS department in the College of Business at UHD recommends Professor Herbert Rebhun for emeriti status. Professor Rebhun was intimately involved with UHD’s growth from just over 3,000 students and a few undergraduate programs to the current almost 12,000 student institution with many majors at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Professor Rebhun arrived at UHD in the fall of 1977 as the first computer-oriented faculty member hired in any part of the university. He investigated, with the Houston business computing community, the opportunity for a degree in the business computing field. He assembled the original degree program in 1979 and employed the first of other business-computer oriented faculty and coordinated the program from its original name of Business Data Processing to Business Computer Information Systems to its current name of Computer Information Systems.

Professor Rebhun was totally involved in university life; as Degree Coordinator, Department Chairman (three times), Assistant Dean (two years), Associate Dean and Acting Dean (one year). Additionally, he was elected twice as the Faculty Senate President and honored to have received the Outstanding Teaching Award. Twice he was honored with the Outstanding Service Award from the University for his university and community involvement.

A&SS—2.14 University of Houston-Downtown

Dr. Carl Ruthstrom (College of Business)

The MMBA Depart of the College of Business at the University of Houston Downtown recommends Dr. Carl Ruthstrom, Associate Professor in the College of Business, for faculty emeriti status. Dr. Ruthstrom has had an illustrious career in two professions. He served in the U.S. Air Force for 27 years earning the top enlisted person rank, a rank that is awarded to only about 1% of enlisted person in all branches of the military service.

Upon leaving the U.S. Air Force Carl Ruthstrom earned a Ph.D. from The University of Texas. After joining Stephen F. Austin for three years he came to UHD in 1990. His career at UHD has been as illustrious as was his military career. From 1992-1 996 Carl was Coordinator of the Materials Management Program. From 1996 to 2001 he was Chair of the MMBA Department. In 2001 he became assistant dean and in 2003 he became an Associate Dean. This chronological listing of Carl’s career does not do justice to the many contributions that he has made in terms of student relations, student advising, academic standards and program development, not to mention his service as co-dean of the College of Business, it is difficult to find a purchasing professional that has not attended one of Carl’s professional development seminars to stay on the cuffing edge. In addition to numerous cases that facilitate effective teaching Carl has also been active in research in the purchasing area with papers, conferences proceedings and publications.

Carl has garnered many awards for his work in purchasing management. Perhaps, the highest was being granted Lifetime Certified Purchasing Manager in 1991. Carl was very active in local chapters of NAPM making various presentations. In addition, he was a frequent contributor of cases in purchasing management to various case associations and case books.

SUMMARY

The University of Houston proposes the establishment of a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Architecture, to be administered by the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture, The degree requirements for this program will meet the standards for licensure as an Interior Designer as set forth by the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners. There is great demand for licensed interior designers, and Houston is the only one among the four largest cities in Texas without a program in this discipline at a public university. The curriculum will draw upon the currently existing course offerings in both architecture and industrial design as well as nine new courses in the specific area of interior architecture. Sixty-five students are projected by the fifth year. Three new faculty members will be added as enrollments grow over time. Totai costs approximate $1.1 million for the first five years, covered primarily by new formula funding and internal reallocation.

SUMMARY The University of Houston proposes the establishment of a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, to be administered by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. Students wishing to pursue this interdisciplinary program must complete all requirements for an approved set of minors in three different areas. This rather unique approach to an undergraduate liberal arts degree will be attractive to students who have not chosen a specific major or who seek a broad- based yet rigorous curriculum in preparation for a wide array of professional pursuits. Similar programs are offered at many other including the University of Texas, University of Arizona, University of Central Florida, and the University of Oklahoma. The program could potentially attract up to 1000 students by the fiflh year; given that the curriculum is essentially already in place, the incremental costs for the first five years are projected to be below $500,000.

SUMMARY:

LIE-Clear Lake proposes the establishment of a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, to be administered by the Division of Natural Science in the School of Science and Computer Engineering. For many years, LJ}{-Ciear Lake has offered a heavily subscribed Master of Science degree in Physics, and more recently, has collaborated with the University of Houston in the deliveiy of its PhD in Physics. The B.S. in Physics would therefore provide an important foundation for students who wish to pursue advanced study in this discipline. Furthermore, it would allow the university to more fully respond to the technical manpower requirements of both NASAIJohnson Space Center and the related aerospace industry that has developed in this region over the past four decades It is estimated that 30 students would enroll in this program by the fifth year, with total estimated costs for five years approximating $735,000, to be derived primarily from internal reallocation from related programs.

ITEM: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degree in Biomedical Engineering

DATE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED:

SUMMARY: The University of Houston proposes the establishment ofa Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Biomedical Engineering, to be administered by the Department of Biomedical Engineering within the Cullen College of Engineering. The program will provide doctoral level education that will allow graduates to successfully embark upon an academic, medical, national laboratory, or industrial research career in biomedical engineering. Tlwee areas of concentration will be offered, reflecting current significant research activity in the college: 1) biomedical imaging and signal processing, 2) biomolecular engineering, and 3) bioanalysis and design. Only within the last several decades has biomedical engineering become recognized as a separate academic discipline, and it continues to rapidly evolve and expand. The discipline addresses issues that include: 1) development of biological materials and implants, 2) study of processes for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, and 3) development of new methods and techniques for patient rehabilitation and health monitoring. Local demand for biomedical engineers is driven by the ever-expanding Texas Medical Center and by a growing number of biomedical and biotechnology firms in Houston. The program is viewed as central to the university’s tier-one aspirations, given the great potential for increased research activity with the establishment of this doctoral degree. It is anticipated that thirty students will be enrolled by the fifth year. The College of Engineering’s hiring plan for the next five years includes a heavy emphasis in Biomedical Engineering; as such, ten new faculty are projected over this time period. The total costs for the five year period approximate $10 million, most of which consists of faculty lines and equipment requirements; the primary sources of finding include fonnula reimbursement and nationally competitive research awards.
