Academic Program Review

ACADEMIC YEAR	Fall 2014	Basic Skills Transfer Career Technical Education (CTE)
PROGRAM	ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY
DESCRIPTION/PURPOSE	Electricians install, test, repair and maintain electrical systems. Knowledge of electricity, understanding blueprints and other technical documents, manual dexterity, color vision, good sense of smell, physical stamina are all required for this career. Electricians are the people who wire homes, offices, and factories for electricity service. They route and connect electrical wires, install light fixtures and other electrical devices, and install and maintain all the electronic controls used for machines at both home and work. Some focus mainly on maintaining existing electrical systems. Others focus mainly on wiring new construction.

PRESENT – DATA ANALYSIS AND PROGRAM HEALTH – ACCREDITATION

Summarize and analyze all disaggregated data by day, evening, gender, ethnicity, and distance education. Narrative only. Submit electronic excel file with graphs or trend data.

Enrollment and Fill Rates On Electrical (EWIR) and Electronic (ELTR)

EWIR ELTR

EWIR ELTR

Discuss the trends in enrollment and fill rate for each program by day and evening at the program level.

Maintain facilities with all industry standards procure used new hand and power tools in equipment operation under safe and efficient environmental

Productivity

EWIR ELTR

What are the trends in productivity? The goal is 525 as per state guidelines. A low number means that we ar below target levels for productivity. For example, in a small class that has a mandated cap of 15 students, the fill rate may be100% but the productivity number (WSCH/FTEF) will be very low. A class with a cap of 40 students wita 100% fill rate will havea productivity number close to or above 525.The guidelines is not applicable because, in college our trades where the average cap is 15 is necessary to take a reference toreflect number more close to above 525. The minimum salary for electricians according to the U.S. Department of Labor was,$20.97 (2006-2012) and the median salary of $ 28.35 an hour or $ 58,970. Yearly .is very important area location because salary can reflect changes,also if the electrician change the status like Journeyman,Foreman,Engineer.Other occupations and job opportunities are the following ,a)Computer,ATM,Office Machine Repairers,Construction, ,Elevator Installers and Repairers Helpers,Electrical and Electronic Installers,CableLine Installers and Repairers, General Maintenance .

These numbers shown on the graph show changes due to the time of the crisis economic that affects the country, and the price

per unit increased in community colleges,this effect as no doubt will have to be corrected in the future

Discuss the success and retention rates by day, evening (extended day), and online classes in each program and identify gaps.

Our last review program show a tendency to used update text and workbook editions base on NEC 2014 and increase our tech labor more deep on search NEC code changes and reviews with questions relatives to the Ca certified exam, that can help to our students to have an environmental more real,when they will complete the apprentice program, and be ready to present the exam.The apprentice program with the local electrical companies help to our students to reach better experience on the job place In 2014 we are planning to increase the articulation with the different local electrical construction companies for to find a job placement for our students.

Success and Retention by Ethnicity

Discuss the success and retention rates by demographic diversity of students.

The population of the Ethnics groups in college have four variables and the the most popular are Hispanic and Whites, theCollege area location is the main reason of this phenomenon

Discuss the trends in the number of degrees or certificates awarded, if applicable. (You may be able to expand more about this in B.3 below

Certificate of achievement program designed for students with personal or occupational goals who wish early employment and

qualify for the certificate and satisfy the courses requirements.

Associate Degree, required Courses; BLDC 101,EWIR 11O,115,ELTR 120,140,WE201

This associate Degree if they want to have specialization in Electrical Wiring you must to take EWIR 125,135, and WE220

If you want to have specialization in Electronics you must to take,ELTR 220,240,and WE220.

Program Changes

What program changes, if any, do you expect to have a positive effect on students?

N/A

Summarize revisions, additions, deletions, and alternate delivery methods to courses and/or program based on the last program review.

Our last review program show a tendency to used update text and workbook editions base on NEC 2014 and increase our tech labor more deep on search NEC code changes and reviews with questions relatives to the Ca certified exam, that can help to our students to have an environmental more real,when they will complete the apprentice program, and be ready to present the exam.

The apprentice program with the local electrical and Electronic companies help to our students to reach better experience on the job place

In 2014 we are planning to increase the articulation with the different local electrical construction companies and local Electronic Facilities for to place our students In these firms to complement he or she work experience.

In fall 2014 the new building shops will increase our practices capability because we will have more resources and space for to do a better teach job with our students.

Evaluate the program’s viability by addressing program completion, size (FTES), projections (growing/stable/declining), and quality of outcomes.We need to improve in our program up-date information for to have better skills and competitiveness.

For CTE programs, also include labor market projections, placement, and performance on external testing/exams (i.e. ASE, NABCEP) and industry-recognized credentials, placement, and performance on external testing or exams (NCLEX, ASC, NAP).

Programs allows students to comply with the requirements for certificates up to grade level once the students becames a State Certified Operator he or she qualify to seek employment an Industrial technology discipline any where in the state.or reach the opportunity to present the NABCEP entry level exam for became to the Solar Energy technology.The State Certified can be like Electronic Technician ,Residential Electrician or a General Electrician.Labor market in the valley is not to easy and some of our students required to move out of town.

Job Opportunities

Electricians and Electronic can install and maintain systems in home ,business and Factories,work indoor and out in nearly every time of facility.almost all electrician work full time,which may include evenings and weekends.the median annual wage of electrician please see 1 b .

Job Outlook

The employment of electricians is projected to grow 20 % from 2014 faster than the average for all occupations.Home and Business require more wiring than ever before,and electricians and electronics will needed to install o repair the necessary equipment.

(WSCH/FTEF) The goal is 525 as per state guidelines. A low number means that we are below target levels for productivity. For example, in a small class that has a mandated cap of 15 students, the fill rate may be 100% but the productivity number (WSCH/FTEF) will be very low. A class with a cap of 40 students with a 100% fill rate will have a productivity number close to or above 525.
