The curriculum was developed according to National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation standards that prepare for National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) credentialing. Graduates will be eligible for Automotive Service Excellence certifications in heavy truck mechanics, Allison Transmissions, and hybrid technology. The College was also recently approved to offer two related certificate programs. The A.A.S. degree provides a further educational ladder opportunity for graduates of these certificates. Assessment of student learning will be achieved through evaluation of the student s performance on cumulative written and performance exams and a final project. Labor market information provided by the College supports the interest in and the need for a program in this field of study.

Costs to implement the program are approximately $4,266,000 during the first year, $279,000 the second year, and $347,000 the third year. Higher first year costs reflect equipment and resource material purchases, recruitment, and marketing efforts. The program will be supported fiscally through student tuition and fees. Staff Conclusion. Olive-Harvey College and its proposed program meet the criteria to implement the South Suburban College South State Street South Holland, Illinois President: Mr. Don Manning Proposed Program Title: Associate in General Studies Projected Enrollments: South Suburban College anticipates enrollment of students of diverse ages and backgrounds. The Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.) is designed for students earning a two-year degree for career advancement and personal growth. The A.G.S. is designed to serve a multitude of student populations, including but not limited to incumbent workers whose employers are requiring a degree for advancement, displaced workers fulfilling additional educational/career goals while seeking a degree for improved employment opportunities, or veterans seeking to return to the workforce by earning an associate degree that allows awarding of credit for military experience. South Suburban College (the College) is seeking approval to offer a 60-semester credit hour A.G.S. degree. The proposed degree is designed for students who want to complete an individualized associate degree that provides educational options beyond those available in other degree programs. To ensure that certain standards are met, the College will require students to establish a formal degree plan with an academic counselor and participate in the College assessment process for appropriate course placement in English and math. The 60 credits in the degree are comprised of a minimum of 21 credits in general education and 39 credits in electives. The Illinois Community College Board Rules for A.G.S. programs specify that proposals meet three degree intentions. The first is that the proposal must show that it is a liberal studies program. The College responds that the program requires 21 credit hours of coursework in humanities, social sciences, mathematics, sciences, and communication. The second intent is to meet needs of students that are not met by other programs. Through the A.G.S. degree, the College will provide a broad array of courses so that students are 20

4 allowed considerable freedom in designing and pursuing a course of study that meets their individualized learning goals. Students collaborate with an advisor or counselor to develop a master academic plan of study. Changes to this plan must be agreed upon by the student and the advisor/counselor. The third intent is to provide a capstone program for graduates of occupational certificate programs. The College s A.G.S. degree serves as a capstone for individuals currently working in settings where a degree is needed for career advancement and where tuition reimbursement is available for a degree but not available for certificate programs. Further, because some certificates do not naturally lead to an associate degree, the College s proposal allows students to utilize the A.G.S. to reach this threshold, meeting a key need with employers that are looking to hire employees with a two-year degree program. The proposed program will utilize existing faculty and staff resources. All facilities and resources are in place to adequately support the proposed degree. Staff Conclusion. South Suburban College and its proposed program meet the criteria to implement the Triton College 2000 Fifth Avenue River Grove, Illinois President: Ms. Patricia Granados Proposed Program Title: Associate in Applied Science in Engineering Technology/Mechatronics Projected Enrollments: Triton College anticipates an enrollment of ten full-time and five part-time students the first year, increasing to 20 full-time and 15 part-time by the third year. Triton College (the College) is seeking approval to offer a 66-credit hour Associate in Applied Science in Engineering Technology/Mechatronics. This program will prepare individuals for entry-level employment and advancement opportunities in the field automated manufacturing.

Labor market information provided by the College supports the interest in and the need for a two-year degree program in this field of study. The program was developed through the Illinois Network for Advanced Manufacturing (INAM) consortia of colleges, a coordinated effort between those colleges awarded a Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training

5 (TAACCCT) grant. The INAM consortium recommended the development of this degree program to help address local employer needs in this field and provide educational ladder opportunities for students in related programs at other INAM institutions. The program will require two existing full-time faculty, eight existing part-time faculty, and two new part-time faculty the first year. Qualified faculty teaching career and technical coursework must hold at least a Bachelor s degree in Engineering or closely related field, possess three years related occupational experience, and one year teaching experience. All facilities are currently in place to adequately support the program. The TAACCCT grant will cover all costs during the implementation phase of program operation.
