CATALOG 2003-2005 Stark State College Changing Lives .. . Building Futures

The College reserves the right to make changes in offerings, requirements and regulations subsequent to the publication of this Catalog. A student accepted into a specific technology, and who is completing the coursework on a part-time or full-time basis after a lapse of years, should seek periodic counseling from the appropriate department head because program requirements may change.

Open Door Policy Access to Ohio’s state-assisted colleges must be assured for every person who wants and can benefit from higher education. Stark State College of Technology maintains an “Open Door” policy and cordially welcomes anyone who wishes to receive a higher education. Section 3345.06 of the Ohio Revised Code states, “A graduate of the twelfth grade should be entitled to admission without examination to any college or university which is supported wholly or in part by the state.” Open admission carries with it the full weight of equal opportunity for all, which means the College must make every effort to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of prospective students. The open admission policy allows a student to enroll in the College, but not necessarily in a specific degree-granting program. Normal admission to the College is open to anyone who is a high school graduate or the equivalent, completes the enrollment procedures, and pays the fees for admission. This is exclusive of academic record or placement testing results. This open door policy does not deny specific technology departments the right to require preliminary training or talent. Students who do not meet specific program requirements upon admission to the College, may be required to satisfactorily complete such requirements before admission into a specific technology.

NOTICE TO STUDENTS: Due to the high cost of printing, the College can only provide students with one catalog free-of-charge. Please do not lose or destroy this catalog. It is to your benefit to make this Catalog your primary reference, retain it and make helpful notes in it.

Stark State College is committed to equal opportunity for all and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, age, disability or veteran’s status.

Students majoring in engineering technologies may pursue the associate of applied science degree in a variety of en g i n e e r i n g technology programs such as: applied industrial technology, civil technology, design technology, electrical technology, electronic technology, electric power utility technology, environmental health and safety technology, HVAC technology, and mechanical technology. Engineering tech- nology is a field in which scientific principles and techniques are applied toward solutions of problems in business and industry. The engineering technician typically works as a member of a professional team (technician/technologist), assisting the engineer and coordinating work performed by skilled workers. Areas of responsibility include: research, design, development, supervision, sales and production. Applied industrial technology technicians use similar abilities, with emphasis on areas of operations and maintenance in ma n u f a c t u r i n g . In addition to these programs, the engineering technologies division offers a number of career enhancement certificates designed to enhance specific sets of skills. Bachelor's degree: In most of the associate degree programs, all or nearly all courses may be applied toward a bachelor's degree in technology. Bachelor's degree requirements and course transferability are controlled by the institution to which the student plans to transfer. High school students: High school students graduating from a college tech prep program can get a head start on their engineering technology associate degrees.

75 76– BLANK General Studies

This area of Stark State College is interdisciplinary and its departments serve the basic educational needs of all technical degree and certificate programs throughout the College. The “core” curriculum courses of the College are administered through the general studies area of the College. Virtually all students take general studies courses. Most technical degree programs require 21 credit hours in general studies courses. The mission statement of Stark State College indicates that we are concerned with, among other things, preparing students for education beyond the associate degree; helping students acquire positive attitudes toward society, self and work; and fostering participative intelligent and informed citizenship. The general studies faculty support this mission by providing students with expanded learning and enhanced analytical skills. The transferable skills, which are a fundamental basis to successful work performance, future growth and education, have a high priority. Our goal is to provide a foundation for lifelong growth and development leading to higher levels of knowledge, skill and competency. Students are presented opportunities to develop skills for problem- solving and conflict resolution using language logically, critically and creatively. Through the general studies curriculum, Stark State College addresses the whole person in terms of values, self-awareness and understanding. Self-awareness includes helping students to understand, use and present technical information. It focuses upon techniques of self-analysis and the skills needed to find work that they can do well and enjoy. A high premium is placed upon developing effective interpersonal skills and the attitudes and abilities required to work purposefully and effectively with others. Associate of Science Degree (A.S.)

78 He a l t h Tec h n o l o gi e s

Health technologies are those areas in which all health personnel are working toward the common goal of providing the best possible service in patient care and health promotion. There is a large cluster of health care- related professions and personnel whose functions include assisting, facilitating or complementing the work of the physicians and other specialists in the health care system. Individuals in many health care fields work without direct supervision, while others can only work in a supervised setting. As machines and techniques change, the individual must be able to accept new innovations to ensure continued demand for their services. Health care personnel are highly regulated. After showing their proficiency in the classroom as practitioners of their art, they take certifying exams and are licensed by state or federal agencies, and their titles are protected by certification. To receive accreditation or certification in a technology, the faculty, college and curriculum must be reviewed and must meet the standards of professional health accreditation bodies. All of the degree granting technologies in the health technologies division have received multiple-year accreditation or certification. Health technologies students at Stark State College spend time in the classroom and laboratory, learning the techniques and skills of their profession.
