Highlands College Department: Trades & Technical Degree: AAS in Metals Fabrication

Program Educational Objectives: Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies.

1. Our primary goal is to continue to teach and develop curriculum that supports learning for students. Being a part of a rapidly changing profession that interfaces with the welding/manufacturing industry, teaches ever‐changing CAM software, keeps pace with evolving NCCER and NIMS standards, and is aware of emerging technologies, the primary goal is accomplished by: a. Delivering contemporary curriculum to meet degree outcomes of the program. b. Improving the quality of teaching and learning by refining methodologies, and enhancing the relationship between the instructor and student. c. Participating in continuing educational opportunities that enhance our relationship to both industry and the community.

2. Our secondary goal is to prepare and track our students as they enter into a competitive workforce. In collaboration with Tech Career Services, the program is the prime mover in preparing our Metals Fabrication students for entry into a highly‐competitive workforce. Issues surrounding this goal include: a. Utilizing the most highly‐advanced and sophisticated software, equipment and tools available, which provides the student with the Metals Fabrication knowledge base that employer’s desire. b. Working with current employers and potential firms that incorporate our graduates as full time and part time employees.

3. A third goal is to shape a curriculum that is sensitive to the sustainability issues that confront our world and local communities. Manufacturing and welding processes and products have changed significantly in the last 10 years. The Highlands Metals Fabrication Program needs to be critically aware and proactive regarding the changes currently taking place, which includes the following: a. Educate faculty regarding the latest technologies that drive our manufacturing economy into a portion of our Metals Fabrication curriculum.

Student Outcomes: Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.

1. At graduation, students earning an AAS in Metals Fabrication will have the necessary knowledge and skills to obtain placement within the discipline. 2. Students within the Metals Fabrication Program will demonstrate competency in the use of manual tools, equipment, and software typically used in industry. 3. Demonstrate problem solving, informational literacy, technological and communication skills in team and individual learning exercises. 4. Provide students with the skills that will promote occupational growth and life‐long learning.

Comments: The Metals Fabrication Program has been in a state of flux for the past few years. In order to increase retention and completions the Metals Fab program was split into a CAS in Machining Technology and a CAS in Welding Technology. Students now had the option to complete one option then enter the workforce or complete both one‐year programs and earn the AAS in Metals Fabrication. In addition, interest and enrollment numbers in the Metals Fabrication program has remained high and when coupled with better retention and completion rates – the Metals Fabrication program continues to be one of the strongest program on campus. CORE THEME 1: Education and Knowledge Program Evaluation

Objective 1, Indicator of Achievement C: Strengths:

1. The curriculum in the Metals Fabrication Program provides students with exposure to the main Metals Fabrication topics and has the potential to prepare students for a career as a machinist, fabricator, or welder.

2. Students of the CAS in Welding Technology learn the skills needed to earn the NCCER Certification. These industry specific certifications demonstrate to employers that students have a particular aptitude and breadth of knowledge in Welding. The student applies the knowledge of various machines, engineering practices, mathematics, and building materials to complete a set of drawings.

3. The Metals Fabrication Program curriculum allows students opportunities to participate in research, creative & scholarly activities.

Objective 1, Indicator of Achievement D: How will the program maintain the strengths?

1. To maintain the strength of the program, the faculty continually assesses the Metals Fabrication curriculum. This is done through department meetings, review of textbook selections, and discussion with industry partners and vendors.

2. Continue to provide and fund students and faculty opportunities to participate in research, creative & scholarly activities.

Objective 1, Indicator of Achievement C: Weaknesses:

1. The program is “bottle‐necked” at the moment due to only having one dedicated instructor for 10 to 15 students (safety issue).

Objective 1, Indicator of Achievement D: How will the program address the weaknesses?

1. Another full‐time instructor will open more seats in the course with the possibility of a 2nd cohort at night or weekends to meet current demand.

2. To increase our graduation rate, the Metals Fabrication Program specifically and the Trades & Technical Department generally needs to develop a reputation as a 1st choice option for interested students.

Other actions leading to program improvement (e.g., develop a new course)

1. Highlands College needs to assist the program with more marketing efforts. 2. Highlands College has been without strong, consistent and effective recruiting for the past few years. A new recruiter, dedicated to Highlands College, will start soon and has the potential to help programs like the Metals Fabrication Program.
