1 Pima Community College Transportation Technologies Study Benchmarking Analysis Umpqua Community College, Roseburg Campus December 2015

2 Pima Community College Transportation Technologies 2 Benchmarking Study - December 2015 INTRODUCTION As part of the Campus Master Plan, Paulien & Associates used benchmarking techniques to develop a preliminary program for a Transportation Technologies Training Center. The goal was to benchmark twoyear institutions that offered multiple certifications in the transportation industry. This study reviewed two relevant programs: Automotive Technologies Diesel Technologies Automotive Technology The program study considered, at a minimum, institutions with at least three of the following programs: Ford ASSET Chrysler/MOPAR CAP GM ASEP Toyota T-Ten Honda PACT These programs allow students to receive a two-year Associate s degree while completing an internship with a local dealership. Each program is certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). As an example, GM ASEP instructors are factory trained and certified by GM to meet both ASEP and ASE/NATEF requirements. This ensures that the curriculum meets or exceeds industry standards. Instructors are required to update their skills annually and meet challenging and constantly evolving standards. As part of the program, GM provides new vehicles, training components, training aids, and factory special tools for students to work with and learn from in a closely supervised and structured environment. Students and GM dealers receive credit for a majority of the GM Service college curriculum upon successful graduation. The consultant compiled data from the selected institutions with multiple industry programs, reviewing the total assignable square feet (ASF) and the various types of spaces needed for this program. Institutions represented in the comparative analysis included: Solano Community College De Anza College Tidewater Community College Broward College Stark State College Glendale Community College (Maricopa CCD) Sinclair Community College Umpqua Community College (OR) Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology (OSUIT) Northeast Community College (NE) A large majority of automotive programs at these institutions were housed in separate facilities dedicated to the automotive program. The largest in terms of facilities was OSUIT, with a total of 86,000 ASF and six industry sponsored programs. De Anza College in Cupertino, California dedicated 15,000 ASF with a focus on smog and hybrid electric cars. The remainder of the colleges averaged 28,000 to 35,000 ASF for their automotive technologies programs. Of note, Glendale Community College s (GCC) new automotive technologies building called T3 is scheduled to open in November 2015 in Glendale, Arizona. The GCC

3 Pima Community College Transportation Technologies 3 Benchmarking Study - December 2015 program has all three sponsors, Ford, Chrysler, and GM, in approximately 35,000 gross square feet of space. As future student enrollment data for the Pima Community College (PCC) automotive technologies program was not available, the benchmarking data was compiled at the facility or building level. Additional space was added for a possible stackable credential in Alternative Fuels. The ASF noted in the automotive technologies preliminary program plan includes indoor space only. Secure outdoor vehicle and some cold storage space will also be needed depending on the number of industry-sponsored programs offered by PCC.

4 Pima Community College Transportation Technologies 4 Benchmarking Study - December 2015 The two alternative fuels labs could be used for National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) training. Alternate fuels technology is strongly emphasized in the state with research conducted at Arizona State University. The curriculum in the Alternate Fuels Program could include hands-on training in the following areas: Diagnosis and System Maintenance; Conversion kits and installation; Alternate fuels like: M85 and E85, electric, propane, compressed natural gas, ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen and many more;, An extensive understanding of key components, such as: regulators, converters, lock-offs, mixers, and injection. The preliminary program does not account for mechanical, janitorial, or student circulation space within the building. Space to maneuver vehicles to-and-from instructional bays has been accounted for in the program but may need to be altered during design. The program includes 18 instructional vehicle bays; 12 with hydraulic lifts. Classroom/demonstration rooms were developed for each of the three industrysponsored programs and a general service technician program that could be tied to a developmental pathway of I-BEST program. The number of faculty offices was based on benchmark averages. The six instructional laboratories could be stand-alone or integrated in the shop floor area. A total of 28,586 ASF was estimated based on comparative data. As most of the building would be open floor space, a reduced net-to-gross ratio may be warranted. Diesel Technologies Diesel programs vary by type of award and area of focus. Listed are three focuses: 1) Diesel Technology a. Heavy-duty truck technician b. Field service and sales representative c. Service and warranty writer 2) On-Site Power Generation a. Power generation technician b. Industrial maintenance c. sales representative 3) Diesel Technician a. Heavy duty truck technician for dealership b. Field service technician c. Assistant service manager The consultant benchmarked six institutions offering various certificates and two-year degrees in related diesel programs. As this would be a new program for PCC, it was difficult to predict the number of students or demand for the program. On average, a total of 22,821 ASF was allocated to these programs at benchmarked institutions. The majority of this space was classified as teaching laboratories. For example at Portland Community College, laboratory space houses: More than 50 diesel engines, 12 of which are computer controlled. Fifty heavy-duty transmissions and several differentials. Eleven trucks, one equipped with computer-controlled engines, with a world-class Allison, computer-controlled transmission. Three backhoes. Two Bobcat skid steers.

5 Pima Community College Transportation Technologies 5 Benchmarking Study - December 2015 Three forklifts. Hundreds of individual components. Five shop PCs loaded with the latest diagnostic software. Portland Community College s diesel shop is a 17,000-square-foot facility with state-of-the-art equipment and tooling. The shop is surrounded by four classrooms to easily accommodate the lecture/lab format of instruction which allows students to learn "hands on" how to diagnose and repair complex systems. Laboratory service space also includes a staffed tool room with the latest specialty equipment.

The actual ASF needed for Pima Community College will depend on the number of stackable credentials offered, available guided pathways, and enrollment demand, as determined by industry needs. ASSUMPTIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USE The information used for this comparative analysis is taken from Paulien & Associates, Inc. s project databases and industry published information. The selected institutions may have classified their space differently in their identification of space within the various space categories, slightly altering the space amounts at the room level. This data was developed to determine an order-of-magnitude ASF for the purposes of selecting a viable site for PCC s transportation technologies program. It is not intended to replace a detailed programming exercise that will require significant input from faculty, industry sponsors, and dealership representatives.
