Rationale: Like other subject areas, ESL has been provincially articulated in order that courses have more institutional transferability. The revisions in course outlines reflect the articulated outcomes. The title change is a result of feedback from marketers who say that potential students have difficulty with the word “Essentials”. The prerequisite change reflects part of a solution to lessen the gap between ESL and academic programs that sometimes observe that ESL students still lack an adequate level of English.

Institute for Learning & Teaching Leading in a Learner-Centered Organization Certificate New Program Rationale: One of our Guiding Principles at Okanagan College is that we are a learning organization. A learning organization seeks to meet the needs of students, employeesandcommunities. Inherent in being a learning organization is developing a culture of being learner centred. When you look into a learner-centred culture it becomes apparent that the principles apply to all of us: students, instructors, professors, administrators, and support workers. Everyone is a learner. The Institute for Learning and Teaching has been making inroads in transferring the theory of learner centredness into practice at Okanagan College. The Learner-Centred Instructor Certificate program has been helping instructors adopt a learner-centred philosophy of instruction. Similarly, LLCO is designed to transfer learner-centred theory into actual practice for employees engaged in providing educational leadership at Okanagan College. According to RensisLikert, famous author, educator, and organizational psychologist, the most effective systems of management have supervisors who, being people-centred, focus on the human aspects of organizations and build effective work groups pursuing high achievement goals. The supervisors attempt to know employees as individuals. They give general rather than detailed supervision, with overall targets rather than prescribing methods. They accept maximum participation in decision making and see employees as capable of joining in the decision- making processes. The goal of LLCO is to help to engender a people-centred philosophy of educational leadership that leads to high productivity and improved human relations for all employees at Okanagan College. The target audience is anyone who is in a leadership role or is moving toward a leadership role at an educational institution. Leadership could mean a formal administrative position, a chair of a departmental committee or event, or any role that involves some element of leadership. Everyone will be a leader and a follower at some point in their career and this program will help all employees become better leaders. Calendar program description: The Leading in a Learner-Centred Organization Certificate (LLCO) is a 60-hour program. It is accessible to educational coordinators, program chairs, program administrators, managers, executives, and any employee in, or interested in, a leadership role in an educational institution. LLCO provides educational leaders the opportunity to increase their leadership skills while developing a people-centred philosophy of management. An integrated approach which merges practical training with theoretical learning will be used in the program to assist participants in developing practical leadership skills for use in an educational institution. By the end of the program participants will be able to engage in people- centred consultation and communication, develop effective work groups, engender trust and respect, and promote a culture of intrinsic motivation in an institutional setting, Successful graduates of LLCO will receive an Okanagan College Leadership in a Learner-Centred Organization Certificate. Admission requirements:

Applicants must be individuals who are currently working in a leadership role, or who are moving towards a leadership role in an educational institution.

BC secondary school graduation, or equivalent, or 19 years of age and out of secondary school for at least one year as of the first day of classes.

Applicants must submit a letter of introduction describing their background, their current role, and their leadership goals.

Graduation requirements: The Leading in a Learner-Centred Organization Certificate will be granted upon successful completion of the six courses in the program. Students must receive a minimum grade of 60% in each of the six courses. Program outline:

Service and Support in a Learner-Centered Organization Certificate New Program Rationale: One of our Guiding Principles at Okanagan College is that we are a learning organization. A learning organization seeks to meet the needs of students, employeesandcommunities. Inherent in being a learning organization is developing a culture of being learner-centred. When you look into a learner-centred culture it becomes apparent that the principles apply to all of us, students, instructors, administrators, and support workers. Everyone is a learner. The Institute for Learning and Teaching has been making inroads in transferring the theory of learner-centredness into practice at Okanagan College. The Learner-Centred Instructor Certificate program has been helping instructors adopt a learner-centred philosophy of instruction. Similarly the Service and Support in a Learner-Centred Organization Certificate program is designed to transfer learner-centred theory into actual practice for employees engaged in providing educational support and service at Okanagan College. The challenge for educational institutions is to balance a people first mentality and deal with a structure of complex rules at the same time. The SLCO program will provide support and service oriented staff with the skills that they need to understand and balance client needs with efficient completion of their work


load. This program will help to engender a learner-centred philosophy of service at Okanagan College that will benefit both students and employees. Calendar program description: The Service and Support in a Learner-Centred Organization Certificate (SLCO) is a 60-hour program. It is designed to be accessible for educational support and service workers, or any person who finds themselves working in a supporting role in an educational institution. The SLCO provides educational support and service employees with the opportunity to enhance their work skills while developing a people-centred philosophy of service. An integrated approach which merges practical training with theoretical learning will be used in the program to assist students in developing practical service skills for use in an educational institution. By the end of the program participants will be able to engage in people-centred communication and effectively see people first rather than labels. They will be adept in responding to people’s needs and will be experienced in using plain language to explain complex rules. Participants will be able to recognize conflict, its causes and resolutions, as well as find effective ways to deal with barriers and conflicting demands. Successful graduates will receive an Okanagan College Service and Support in a Learner-Centred Organization Certificate. Admission requirements:

Applicants must be individuals who are currently working as educational support or service workers, or any person working in a supporting role in an educational institution.

BC secondary school graduation, or equivalent, or 19 years of age and out of secondary school for at least one year as of the first day of classes.

Applicants must submit a letter of introduction describing their background, their current role, and their support and service goals.

Graduation requirements: The Service and Support in a Learner-Centred Organization Certificate will be granted upon successful completion of the six courses in the program. Students must receive a minimum grade of 60% in each of the six courses. Program outline:

Costs:No Instructional costs MECH 257 – 3 – 42 hours Solid Modeling Application New Course Rationale: Solid modeling is a tool that mechanical designers use to create new part designs and part assemblies. It is a method that uses three-dimensional computer generated models to simulate parts and assemblies. It is a comprehensive method of design that is readily verified and easily modified. Its output is used in a variety of downstream applications. This design tool is replacing the traditional industry method of two-dimensional detailed design drawings. Presently the Mechanical Engineering Technology program has only one course that instructs the students in the use of this technology. Employers are demanding graduates be fully functional with solid modeling, and give hiring preference to grads who have comprehensive skills in this area. Our current solid modeling course only gives the students fundamental knowledge and basic skills. The Mechanical Engineering Technology department recognizes the need to provide our students with additional skills in this area. The proposed course MECH 257 will take students who have completed the first solid modeling course MECH 237, and will further advance their knowledge and skills so they are better prepared to make use of this design technology. Course Calendar Description: This course advances knowledge and skillsin solid modeling. Topics include, but are not limited to: file management, working with sheet metal designs and analyzing the motion of mechanisms. A main component of the course will be a project creating a moderately sized assembly using solid modeling software.(21 hrs, 21 hrs, 0) Prerequisites:

MECH 233 – 3 – 5 Technology Management and Quality Course Revision

Course description Course content

Rationale: The calendar description requires updating to reflect current industry practices, particularly with lean production techniques. Topics in finance and economics of decisions have been moved to MECH 243, where it is better suited in this later course. Course Description: Current course calendar description: In this course students will study the time value of money, economics of decisions, depreciation methods, project management, and process improvement techniques. Current software is used for the application of statistical process control, problem solving, and quality control for production management. Current quality standards will be introduced including ISO 9000 (International Standards Organization). (3,2,0) Proposed course calendar description: In this course students study project management, lean production systems, process improvement techniques, and quality management systems. Current software is used for the application of project management, statistical process control, problem solving and continuous improvement of production processes. Current quality standards will be introduced including International Standards Organization (ISO). (3,2,0) Course Content: Addition of the latest practices in Lean production systems, and more emphasis on ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems. All topics in finance and economic decision making have been moved to MECH 243, under a separate course revision. Proposed date of implementation: January 2013 Costs: None MECH 240 – 3 – 5 Project Course Revision

Prerequisite(s) Rationale: The Mechanical Engineering Technology department is implementing a new solid modeling applications course, MECH 257. This course will improve the student’s knowledge of solid modeling. Solid modeling is a key component in the MECH 240 project design course. The students will be better prepared to undertake their design project. This new prerequisite will replace the current prerequisite of the introductory solid modeling course MECH 237 Computer Applications I. Prerequisites

Proposed date of implementation: September 2013 Costs: None MECH 243 – 3 – 4 Production, Planning and Operations Management Course Revision

Course title: New: Operations Management Course description


Course content Prerequisite(s)

Rationale: Changes are being made to this course in order to eliminate overlap and duplication between management courses in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program. The course title is being shortened and changed to better reflect the nature of the course. Topics in economic decision making are being moved to this course from MECH 233. With the streamlining of management courses in the program, there is room in this course to provide coverage of additional topics in contract law and legal matters that are relevant to students entering a professional role. MECH 233 is being added as a prerequisite since the remaining two management courses are sequenced in the coverage of subject material. MATH 145 prerequisiste can be dropped since it is a prerequisite for MECH 233. Course Description: Current course calendar description: Students apply operations management decisions and principles to a specific project. Topics include, but are not limited to, process design, work measurement methods, plant layout, inventory control, scheduling, and economics of production. (2,2,0) Proposed course calendar description: This course introduces students to a variety of operations and management issues with application to mechanical engineering. Topics include, but are not limited to, contract law, finance, economics and consequences of business decisions, cost estimating, capacity planning, constraint management, supply chain management, inventory control and material resource planning. (2,2,0) Course Content: Topics in finance and economic decision making have been moved into MECH 243, and removed from MECH 233 (under separate course revision). MECH 243 will provide coverage of additional topics in contract law and legal matters that are relevant to students entering a professional role. Prerequisites


MATH 145 MECH 233

Proposed date of implementation: September 2013 Costs: None MECH 253 – 3 – 45 Advanced Quality Course Deletion Rationale: At present there are three management courses in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program, two of which specifically cover Quality Management. As a result, there is too much overlap and duplication between the courses, in particular MECH 233 and MECH 253. Proposed date of implementation: September 2012 Mechanical Engineering Technology Program revision

Addition or deletion of courses Rationale: Solid modelling is a tool that mechanical designers use to create new part designs and part assemblies. It is a method that uses 3 dimensional computer generated models to simulate parts and assemblies. It is a comprehensive method of design that is readily verified and easily modified. Its output is used in a variety of downstream applications. This design tool is replacing the traditional industry method of 2 dimensional detailed design drawings.


Presently the Mechanical Engineering Technology program has only one course that instructs the students in the use of this technology. Employers are demanding graduates be fully functional with solid modelling, and give hiring preference to grads who have comprehensive skills in this area. Our current solid modelling course only gives the students fundamental knowledge and basic skills. The Mechanical Engineering Technology department recognizes the need to provide our students with additional skills in this area.

It is proposed to create a new course which the students will take after they have completed the 1st solid modelling course MECH 237. The purpose of this second solid modelling course is to further advance their knowledge and skills so they are better prepared to make use of this design technology.

Coupled with this new course addition, the Mechanical Engineering Technology department reviewed our program to ensure efficient content delivery of the required accreditation topics. Through this review it was identified that the program was overweighted in the time spent delivering it’s management courses.

Presently there are 3 management type courses: MECH 233, MECH 243 and MECH 253. A meeting was held with the professors who deliver these courses, and a plan was created to consolidate the material presented in these three courses into two. This was accomplished by eliminating duplication and overlap.

By eliminating the third management course it will enable us to add the new Solid Modelling course without impacting on the overall student program workload. Addition/deletion of courses: Remove MECH 253 Add MECH 257 Program outline:

Course code and number Prerequisites New course code – BUAD 376

Rationale: BUAD 245 is an elective course in three business programs: the BBA Human Resource Management (HRM) specialization, the Business diploma in HRM, and the Business studies certificate in HR. When the HRM option was developed in the diploma in the late 1990s, there was no degree program. Consequently, the courses all ended up in the diploma with 200 numbers. It was known then that BUAD 245: Compensation & Benefits, was a very demanding course and strategic in nature while the other 200-level courses (BUAD 246, 247, 248) were operational in nature. Over the last 12 years, several upper-level human resource courses have been added, namely BUAD 375, Strategic Human Resource Planning, BUAD 410, Organizational Change & Development, BUAD 412, Strategic Performance Management, and BUAD 379, Selected Topics (Employment Law). We now have sufficient courses to comply with the Department’s 8-course mandate for all specialties. The HRM Program Revision (under separate paperwork) is the first major redesign of the BBA HR specialty and thus the first time to reposition BUAD 245 from its diploma origins. The change is recommended by the professors who teach the course. The repositioning of BUAD 245 to BUAD 376 is an integral part of the program revision.


The purpose of BUAD 245 is to provide students with an opportunity to enrich their understanding of total compensation (direct pay and indirect benefits) issues, concepts, and processes through application of their conceptual knowledge of compensation to a full cycle of the compensation process. This course approaches total compensation strategically and involves textbook content, team work and appraisals as well as a complex indepth strategic simulation project. The simulation is a tool to help students grasp and apply the underlying conceptual material from the textbook. Because of its magnitude, and strategic nature, the simulation project requires students to work in teams, in which they write three reports and lead three presentations. It requires a high level of interpersonal communication and team work skills that students acquire in their first and second year of the program. It requires understanding the fundmentals of HRM and organizational behaviour. It requires indepth understanding of motivation theories, which requires completion of HRM courses and course work from a student's first two years of business study. The students find this project a lot of work but later on, most report it to be one ofthe most useful, and often the most marketable, learning experiences. It is one of our HRM capstone courses in which the HRM student actually experiences strategic management and the integration and the interrelatedness of the many HRM functions. Again, because of its strategic and comprehensive HRM focus and nature of this course it needs to be place at the 300 level. In looking at Bloom's taxonomy below, BUAD 245 has the students working at levels 3 through 6 where they are using their knowledge to apply, analyze, evaluate and create. COGNITIVE PROCESS DIMENSION 1. REMEMBER: Retrieving relevant knowledge from long-term memory • Recognizing; Recalling 2. UNDERSTAND: Determining the meaning of instructional messages, including oral, written, and graphic communications • Interpreting; Exemplifying; Classifying; Summarizing; Inferring; Comparing; Explaining 3. APPLY: Carrying out or using a procedure in a given situation • Executing; Implementing 4. ANALYZE: Breaking material into its constituent parts and detecting how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose • Differentiating; Organizing; Attributing 5. EVALUATE: Making judgments based on criteria and standards • Checking; Critiquing 6. CREATE: Putting elements together to form a novel, coherent whole or make an original product • Generating; Planning; Producing

Addition or deletion of courses Graduation requirements

Rationale: The department is proposing to change BUAD 245 to a third year course, BUAD 376. The course content, the required analysis and application skills required to conduct an applied business simulation,


and the advanced team work exceeds the expectations required of a certificate student. As a result it would no longer be appropriate for the business studies certificate and should be removed from the certificate in human resources management (HRM). BUAD 201, Conflict Resolution and Negotiation, should be added to the Business studies certificate in HRM to provide an additional elective to the program. Feedback from employers indicated that a human resources professional is expected to have conflict and negotiation skills especially in small and medium-sized businesses. This evolution of the role of the HR professional has provided the impetus for this course to be added as an elective to this program Calendar program description: The Business Studies Certificate allows students to focus on specific disciplines. These programs will be of interest to mature students who are already employed. The series will be available in the evening on a two- or three-year rotation depending on the discipline. Some courses are also available by distance education. All programs in the Business Studies Certificate require the use of computers. It is recommended that students without computer experience complete a beginner level computer course before beginning their program or at the beginning of their program. Addition/Deletion of courses: BUAD 245 has been removed from the program and BUAD 201 has been added as an elective in the program. Program outline and Graduation requirements: Current: BUAD 269 Human Resources Management Plus 5 of BUAD 245 Compensation & Benefits BUAD 246 Recruitment & Selection BUAD 247 Training & Development BUAD 248 Occupational Health & Safety BUAD 262 Organizational Behaviour BUAD 279 Industrial Relations

Proposed date of implementation: September 2012 Costs: none Business Administration Diploma – Human Resources Management Option Program Revision


Rationale: The department is proposing to change BUAD 245 to a third year course, BUAD 376. The course content, the required analysis and application skills required to conduct an applied business simulation, and the advanced team work exceeds the expectations required of a second year diploma student. As a result it would no longer be appropriate for the business administration diploma and should be removed from the BUAD Diploma - HR management option. BUAD 201, Conflict Resolution and Negotiation, should be added to provide an additional elective to the program. Feedback from employers indicated that human resources professionals are expected to have conflict and negotiation skills especially in small and medium-sized businesses. This evolution of the role of the HR professional has provided the impetus for this course to be added as an elective to this program BUAD 279 Industrial Relations has been changed from a required course to an elective to the business diploma in HR. The landscape of the workplace has changed and industrial relations is now a specialized, niche area rather than a required area of study for HR professionals. Calendar program description: The diploma program provides students with a broad understanding of business practices. With the experience and skills learned in the classroom, students will be able to progress to more responsible roles in accounting, marketing, operations, personnel or general administration. Year one of the program


provides a solid foundation in general business. Options are available in Accounting, Financial Services, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Human Resources Management, Management and Marketing. A General Studies option is also available to those who want to take elective courses from a variety of options. Addition/Deletion of courses: BUAD 245 has been removed from the program and BUAD 201 added as an elective. BUAD 279 has been changed from a required course to an elective in the program.

Proposed date of implementation: September 2012 Costs: none BBA – Human Resources Specialty Program Revision


Rationale: The Human Resources Management specialty has been loosely associated with the CHRP (Certified Human Resource Professional) professional designation. In the last few years, several upper-level Human Resource courses have been added, namely BUAD 410, Organizational Change & Development, BUAD 412, Strategic Performance Management, and BUAD 379, Selected Topics (Employment Law). The CHRP now requires that all who obtain the designation must have a degree. To meet industry requirements and the Department’s requirement to standardize all specialties to have 8 courses, a major revision to the specialty is proposed. The new required courses were determined to meet the required professional competencies (RPC) of an HR professional as determined by the CHRP. Calendar program description: This unique four-year degree program focuses on business in the Canadian and international context. Year one of the program provides a solid foundation in general business. In subsequent years, specializations are available in Accounting, Finance, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Human Resources Management, Management, and Marketing. A General Studies specialization is also available to those who want to take elective courses from a variety of specialties. Business and non-business electives are also part of the program.

International Development Diploma Program Revision

Program description / Correction of Language Rationale: Revision in the diploma program is related to the language used in POLI and ECON electives in the International Development Governance option in order to bring clarity to course selection for students in Women and Development emphasis. To prevent an over-lap in course selection, an explanation marked with an asterisk needed to be added to clarify that students in Women and Development Emphasis could not take ECON 202/WMST 211 or POLI /WMST 202 as their POLI and ECON electives. Program Revision: The only change to the existing calendar information is the language used in POLI and ECON electives in the international Development Governance option.
