Associate in Applied Science in

Air Conditioning Technology

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College

A Proposal for Initiation of a New Degree Program

Mission, Influence, Organization The proposed Associate in Applied Science degree in Air Conditioning Technology is consistent with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) and institutional missions. The mission of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College is that of a comprehensive open access community and technical college that prepares people to live and work in a constantly changing world. The Associate in Applied Science in Air Conditioning Technology specifically relates to the college’s mission to prepare individuals to excel in a complex workforce. The purpose of the program is to prepare individuals for employment as technicians in residential and industrial settings.

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College takes pride in supporting the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) strategic agenda to improve the quality of life and employability of the citizens of the Commonwealth by offering postsecondary education programs, training, and services. Program Description The 60-66 credit hour Air Conditioning Technology program involves installing and servicing heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. Academic courses, theory courses, and laboratory experiences are designed to promote success in the air conditioning field. Graduates will be qualified for job titles such as Heating, Air Conditioning, Ventilation, and Refrigeration Maintenance Technician; Heating and Air Conditioning Mechanics and Installers; and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers. Supportive Data According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition, employment of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to increase 28 percent during the 2008-18 decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the population and stock of buildings grows, so does the demand for residential, commercial, and industrial climate-control systems. Concern for the environment has prompted the development of new energy-saving heating and air-conditioning systems. An emphasis on better energy management should lead to the replacement of older systems and the installation of newer, more efficient systems in existing homes and buildings. Also, demand for maintenance and service work should increase as businesses and homeowners strive to keep increasingly complex systems operating at peak efficiency. Regulations prohibiting the discharge and production of older

v

types of refrigerants that pollute the atmosphere should continue to result in the need to replace many existing air conditioning systems or to modify them to use new environmentally safe refrigerants. According to the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training, projected annual job vacancies in the Lincoln Trail area for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanics are seven; and for the Commonwealth of Kentucky 119. ECTC presently is approved for the diploma and certificates in Air Conditioning Technology. Approval of this credential will provide students with the opportunity for an associate degree which will increase the graduate’s marketability and advancement opportunities. Resources Elizabethtown Community and Technical College currently offers diploma and certificate credentials in Air Conditioning Technology. ECTC has the facility, resources, and qualified faculty. No additional funds will be sought. Conclusion This proposed program is consistent with the missions of KCTCS and Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, and there is an approved curriculum for the program. Local and state needs support the establishment of this program. ECTC has identified resources to support this program. The approval of this program will assist in meeting needs locally and nationally although it is expected that the majority of the program graduates will stay in the region and serve the needs of the local community.

1.02 Internal/External Influences

a. Briefly describe any identified institutional, local, and regional needs to which the proposed program would be responsive (do not include workforce data).

With the AAS degree ECTC will be able to serve a greater market in the workforce, making graduates more marketable to employers, increasing their competitiveness in the job market and in their careers. There are numerous companies requiring skilled workers that are becoming increasingly more technologically sophisticated, global in focus, and organizationally complex. Workers will need to possess a greater variety of skills and a comprehensive education. Within the trades, businesses are faced with increasing regulation and public performance-related pressures. This degree program will enable workers already employed to adapt to the needs of their changing workplaces and become leaders in their chosen occupational field. The degree will also prepare new workers in the field to become adaptable to workplace changes and give them a broader perspective of the industry’s role in local, regional, and national economy. This degree will be used by ECTC in the mission to develop brighter and well trained workplace employees.

See Letters of support.

b. Describe any exceptional circumstances that favor the development of this

program. For example, special facilities, grants, patrons, etc.

Based on the current economic and employment situation, workers must have higher credentials and become competitive in the market. The current GOTS degree does not carry the same weight as a program specific AAS degree. Our students need to be competitive on paper as well as in person.
