AIT, CONS and DRA program revitalization

Revitalization of the Ag. & Industrial Technology, Construction Technology and Drafting Technology programs

BACKGROUND In the Spring 2016, the Academic Senate approved the request of the faculty in Ag. & Industrial Technology (AIT), Construction Technology (CONS) and Drafting Technology (DRA) to undergo a revitalization of the respective programs, in accordance with AP 4021. This revitalization was spurred by, some or all, the following causes:

Low enrollment Curriculum not meeting current employment needs Lack of associate degree No transfer options for students Lack of alignment with market demands and employer needs

The abovementioned reasons are due to a combination of factors, such as the economic depression, or changing employment trends. The courses have seen low enrollment and interest from students. Table 1 shows the enrollment in CONS courses between Fall 2013 and Spring 2016, and exemplifies the low enrollment (or student interest) in the three programs. In parallel, counselors have been unable to explain the AIT and CONS programs to students or to link students to jobs and careers after the end of the program. And this is solely due to the inherent nature of the current programs, their lack of focus and their relative irrelevance to the job market and student interests.

DATA SOURCES AND FINDINGS OF THE PROGRAM EVALUATION COMMITTEE

1. LABOR MARKET Data mining was performed using the labor market information obtained from Federal (US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics), California (CA Economic Development Department, Labor Market Information Division), and private databases. Table 2 shows that among the top 100 growing occupations in California are 28 occupations that AIT, DRA and CONS train future employees. Moreover, Table 3 shows that between 2012 and 2022, employers in the Salinas Metropolitan area will require an additional 2,500 new employees in construction and manufacturing occupations.Given the diversity of occupations and that they range from entry level to mid level, the wages differ greatly from 1.5 times the current minimum wage to over $40 per hour. Local and regional employers have such great needs for employees that they routinely advertise for position, and have shared a keen interest in participating in job fairs at Hartnell and accepting students as interns. Therefore, prospects are guaranteed jobs with potential for growth in local companies, across a variety of sectors, including heavy construction and manufacturing; precision design and fabrication; maintenance, repair, refurbishing and remodel, etc.

2. QUANTITATIVE REVIEW OF STUDENT ENROLLMENT DATA

August 2016 1


Table 1 shows enrollments in CONS, which is representative of enrollments in AIT (Table 4) and DRA (Table 5) courses. Between Fall 2011 and the Spring 2013 we used a grant from the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grant to enroll 16-24 year old youth into CONS and AIT courses. These youth included students from Rancho Cielo (who were taught on their campus) as well as youth identified by America’s Job Center, or who responded to advertisements. However, after the financial support of the WIA grant ended, enrollment dipped, despite extensive field trips, workshops, school presentations, etc. One of the complaints of high school students and teachers is that courses do not transfer to universities, and that careers are not clear nor are they life-changing. Therefore, despite school visits, hands-on workshops, field trips, open houses, and other activities for students and counselors, enrollments have not risen because of the aforementioned reasons. The curriculum was not developed to address the changing nature of employment and interest in our district population or labor market trends.In addition to low enrollments, program completion has also been low. This trend is not uncommon among CTE programs because many individuals are skill seekers and not particularly interested in CCCCO approved credentials. Table 6 shows the number of students who have completed a Certificate of Achievement (CA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree in AIT, CONS or DRA from Spring 2013 to Spring 2016.

3. QUALITATIVE REVIEW a- Proposed solutions

There are no specific educational requirements for any of the three programs being revitalized, nor are there state or national tests. However, we are proposing curricula that lead to improved employment status, increased income, transfer to universities, open doors to trade apprenticeships (union and non-union JATCs), and/or ability to apply for a contractor license. We are also proposing a reconfiguration of our programs to achieve the most synergy for the benefit of students and allied industry:

DRA and CONS would be merged into a new program named Sustainable Construction Management and Architecture (SCMA). This proposed program will develop the spectrum of workforce for the construction industry, including: entry-level positions, construction managers (after transfer), architects, designers, general contractors, etc. Our proposal will create a single entry track that leads to two emphases:

o Construction Managemento Architecture

And the Construction Management track is developed in a single ladder approach to allow the sequential upward mobility of students

The AIT program will morph into Manufacturing Technology (MFGT) program. This program will shed itself of the ag mechanic past, and focus on the employment needs of manufacturing, fabrication, maintenance and facilities engineers. The proposed MFGT program will combine several of the

August 2016 2


current DRA courses that are aimed toward the mechanical design and drafting.

b- Existing and new curricula (Appendices A through E) New proposed curricula in Appendices A and B Existing curricula in Appendices C, D and E

c- Advisory committeesBoth advisory committees have met and both committees agree with the proposal. It is worth nothing that the construction advisory committee voiced concern about the need for low-level introductory trade knowledge. We are working toward simple fixes for this request, namely the creation of a variable unit cooperative work experience course, and not-for-credit courses.

4. CONCLUSIONSGiven the evidenced high demand for a workforce in construction and manufacturing locally and nationally, it is critical that Hartnell College continues its investment in the future success of our employers and students. Therefore, we recommend that the proposed changes to the programs and curriculum be unequivocally supported by the institution. Our proposals are not a whim; rather they are the fruits of serious research of the labor market information, knowledge of student interests and conversations with industry partners. Opportunities abound at the current time for the establishment/reinvigoration of these programs based on our proposals. Working as a team the three subject-matter faculty, the CTE counselor and the dean are confident that the proposals submitted in this document are “game changers” and if marketed effectively are likely to lead to success. With that said, and although the enrollment information shows low numbers, our programs have definitively changed the lives of many students. It is not uncommon to see our students in fabrication shops around the area, or driving a company vehicle to a job site, or working with the crew in the field. The CTE Outcome Survey clearly highlights the significance of our programs in the lives and livelihoods of our students and our community. Finally, we all live in houses, drive on roads, eat or drink or wear something manufactured in a plant, and we all want to do that for perpetuity. So, let us offer our community, employers and students a shot at success!

The Drafting and Design Engineering Technology is a two-year program that combines drafting, engineering, and computer skills. Drafting and design engineering technologists prepare detailed drawings based on information, rough sketches, specifications, calculations and estimates prepared by other individuals or teams. A graduate of this program would qualify for employment in most drafting positions. Because the program is easily adapted to a number of specialized areas, it offers the opportunity for employment in architectural, construction, mechanical, electrical, and other related industries. This program also makes it possible for graduates to advance to a supervisory position in the drafting and design field. Completion of this program also enables the graduates to transfer to Engineering Technology or Industrial Technology programs at the baccalaureate level.

As a result of ongoing changes in technology, the need to expand competencies, and changing transfer requirements, certificate and degree requirements may also change. If you note changes in degrees or certificate requirements, or if courses are not offered in a particular semester, please consult with a counselor or faculty on how best to complete the program in which you are enrolled.
