AUDIO/VIDEO PRODUCTION & ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY Plan for Assessment of Student Academic Achievement 2005-2006 From the Mission of Hocking College Hocking College is an innovative, experience-based technical college that nurtures learning and learner success. Mission of Academic Affairs Unit Nurtures learning and learner success. Mission of Audio Video Production & Engineering Technology To prepare individuals for careers in the broadcast industry and related fields in areas such as radio, television, audio, video production, and engineering, and to provide students with a background sufficient for growth and advancement. Central Objective Graduates of the Audio Video Production & Engineering Technology will be well prepared for entry-level employment IP0506Audio Video Production & Engineering /1

Demonstrates learning and critical thinking skills. 4. Maintains professional skills and attitudes. 5. Practices human relations skills. 6. Demonstrates knowledge of science and the environment. 7. Demonstrates community, cultural, and global awareness. 8. Maintains a code of ethics. Program Outcomes The following outcomes express additional, particular skills, behaviors, and attitudes cultivated in students seeking the Associate Degree in Audio Video Production & Engineering Technology. 1. Uses all common video production equipment (e.g., cameras, recorders, editing equipment, switchers, lights. 2. Uses all common audio production equipment (e.g., microphones, mixers, patch bay, compressor/limiter, multitracking console/tape deck). 3. Uses and interprets all common video test equipment (e.g., waveform monitor/vectorscope). 4. Uses and interprets all common audio test equipment. 5. Uses general-purpose electronic test equipment (e.g., dual trace oscilloscope, digital multimeter, function generator, power supply, breadboard). 6. Produces an audio and/or video production from script to final edit. 7. Draws and interprets electronic schematic diagrams. 8. Draws and interprets audio and video signal flow diagrams. 9. Troubleshoots and repairs minor electronic and mechanical failures. 10. Behaves reliably and responsibly, and has a professional attitude. Broadcast Production and Engineering (formerly Audio/Video Production & Engineering) met with stakeholders to ReVISION program outcomes using Ruth Stiehl s Outcomes Based Education (OBE) process (Nov. 4, 2005). The revised list follows: 1. Install, maintain, adjust and repair audio and video/broadcast equipment. 2. Safely and properly operate all equipment and systems to advance the creative process from conception to successful outcome in a broadcast facility (from pre production to post production). 3. Develop and employ a professional attitude in a diverse workplace. 4. Communicate effectively with industry specific terminology with supervisors, co-workers, Customers and clients. 5. Demonstrates flexibility in application of a diverse skill set and knowledge in multiple roles/positions. The Success Skills and Program Outcomes combine to form a single set of skills, behaviors, and attitudes determined desirable for entry-level practitioners in Audio Video Production & Engineering, for graduates transferring to four-year institutions, and for educated citizens.
