UTAH SYSTEM OF TECHNICAL COLLEGES AGENDA ITEM BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 23, 2020 ITEM: 6d TOPIC: Program Approvals BACKGROUND UTech Policy 200.5.2.3 directs and authorizes the Commissioner of Technical Education to approve college programs that are 900 hours or longer or seeking financial aid eligibility as well as substantive changes to existing programs that meet these criteria. The Commissioner’s approval is considered final and programs and substantive changes may be implemented immediately. Policy requires that documentation supporting new program requests be submitted to the UTech Board of Trustees as information items. Accordingly, the Commissioner of Technical Education has approved the following programs: Financial Institution New Program Length Aid Eligible Bridgerland Therapeutic Massage 810 Yes Brigham City Branch Campus Davis Building Construction 900 Yes Main Campus Dixie App Development 1000 Yes Main Campus Dixie Web Development 1000 Yes Main Campus Substantive Change in Former Institution Existing Program Length New Length Bridgerland Cybersecurity 450 600 Main Campus Bridgerland Machining Technology 1440 1050 Main Campus Davis Former: Digital Media Design 1200 900 Main Campus New: Web and Graphic Design Dixie Collision Repair 1400 1000 Main Campus Dixie Information Technology 1200 900 Main Campus Attachments: Program Approval Requests Davis Technical College New Program/Substantive Change Request Form Program Information College: Davis Technical College Program Title: Building Construction Technology Program Length: 900 Hours Current: 600 Hours - Requested: 900 Hours Campus Location(s): Davis Technical College – Main Campus - 260000 Program Credential: Certificate of Completion Program CIP Code: 46.0415 Financial Aid Eligibility: Yes VA Eligibility: Yes Program Description The Building Construction Technology program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills to residential and commercial building construction and remodeling. Includes instruction in construction equipment and safety; site preparation and layout; blueprint reading; building codes; framing; masonry; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; electrical and mechanical systems; interior and exterior finishing; and plumbing. Program Objectives Students will practice through hands-on experience, instructional videos, information sheets, and competency tests. Upon completion of this program or a given certificate, students will have received specialized training in building construction technology. Students will learn and apply the following while enrolled in the Building Construction Technology program: • Describe and practice proper safety techniques • Identify basic construction terms and phrases • Explain basic symbols and materials found in construction trades • Practice the safe operation of power tools, hands tools, and ladders • Recognize and interpret basic building code • Read construction drawings and interpret engineering details within them Revised: January 21, 2019 • Demonstrate professional work habits Program Resources The Building Construction Technology program is fully-funded in the College’s 2021 budget. Kinley Puzey is the program director, supported by Tara Terry, M.S., Building Construction Management (Purdue University). Students are taught at Davis Tech’s main campus using up-to-date equipment and construction resources. Market Demand/Need There is an unprecedented shortage of skilled construction workers in Davis County. The Building Construction Technology program is offered to address this need. It is being redesigned to 900 hours in cooperation with Weber State University. Students will be able to transfer coursework earned at Davis Technical College to Weber State’s Construction Management programs. Jobs for construction trade workers and carpenters is projected to grow faster than average (See DWS projections Attachment 1). Careers and salaries for employees in this field are also growing with a continued growth projection over the next seven years (See Jobs EQ Attachment 2). Comparable Programs Davis Tech offers the only Building and Construction Technology program in Davis County. Two programs outside our service area are offered at Ogden-Weber Tech and at Salt Lake Community College. • Ogden Weber Technical College, Ogden, Utah Construction Program/240 hours This program provides students win an introduction to the various disciplines and occupations in the construction industry and prepares them for entry-level positions. Students who complete the certificate and obtain related employment will have the option to continue training as apprentices in their chosen craft and receive state, national, and industry certifications. • Salt Lake Community College, Taylorsville, Utah Sustainable Building Construction Certificate of Completion/36 credits This program is dedicated to teaching light commercial and residential sustainable construction methods that address the green building & energy conservation demands of today. It is designed to provide students with a practical hands-on experience in the areas of building construction and interior finishes. It is designed to be a building block toward the Construction Management & Sustainable Building AAS degree. Educational Partnership Opportunities We have drafted an articulation agreement with Weber State University’s College of Engineering Applied Science program. Students who complete the Building Construction Technology program at Davis Tech Revised: January 21, 2019 will have the opportunity to receive up to 27 credits toward a Building Design, Construction and Architecture AAS/BS degree at WSU.
