ABSTRACTThis document contains 397 competencies, grouped into 58

units, for tech prep programs in the engineering technologies cluster. Thecompetencies were developed through collaboration of Ohio business, industry,and labor representatives and secondary and associate degree educators. Thecompetencies are rated either "essential" (necessary to ensure minimal levelsof employability by entry employees; must be included in all new tech prepprograms) or "recommended." Competency builders are included for eachcompetency. A matrix relates the units to five occupations within theengineering technologies occupational cluster. Some of the groups ofcompetencies covered in the units include the following: employabilityskills; professionalism; teamwork; professional practices; workplace safety;project management; problem analysis; general administrative functions;economic and business principles; basic computer concepts and applications;quality assurance; technical recording and reporting; supervision; draftingtechnology; visualization and design for function; computer-assisteddesign/drafting technology; electricity; fundamentals of electronicstechnology; analog circuits; digital logic circuitS; microcomputerelectronics technology; instrumentation control technology; electro-optictechnology; electronics troubleshooting and repair; electronic productservicing technology; industrial electricity; wiring methods; electronicassembly and repair; equipment maintenance; industrial manufacturing;electromechanical technology; hydraulics and pneumatics; computerizednumerical control; precision machining; metal stamping dies; presstechnology; sheet metal fabrication; material joining technology; and weldingbasics.

Engineering TechnologiesState Competency Profile

This document is the result of collaboration between a number of individuals and organizations.The Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Board of Regents provided financial and staffsupport for the development of the document. Dr. Richard Bailey, Tech Prep Consultant, draftedkey units and edited the initial document upon which the current document is based. Guidance indocument development was provided by a futuring panel composed of Ohio Business, Industryand Labor Representatives. (See attached list of Futuring Panel Members.)

The current document is a result of a review by a state-wide panel of business/industry/laborrepresentatives and secondary/associate degree educators on May 7, 1998. (The name andinstitutional affiliation of each panel member is provided on the following pages.) Jan Eley,Akron Area Tech Prep Consortium, Linda Fauber, Lakeland Tech Prep Consortium, JennieRoyer, Stark Tech Prep Consortium, and Julie Daugherty, Eastern Ohio Valley Tech PrepConsortium served as meeting facilitators.

As you review the document, keep in mind the following:

Essential CompetenciesThose competencies marked Essential in the State Competency Profile were determined by thestatewide business/industry/labor panel to be necessary to ensure minimal levels ofemployability. Entry level employees should be able to perform this competency withoutsupervision; therefore, students must be proficient in these competencies at least by the end ofthe Associate Degree.

Essential competencies must be included in all new Tech Prep programs. Tech Prep consortiawith current programs in this area will be expected to phase-in essential competencies into theirprograms as well.

Wording of essential competencies may not be altered. The leveling may only be changed todeliver the competency earlier during the educational process. For example, the leveling of anessential competency in the State Competency Profile may be altered locally from a P or

i

Proficiency leveling at the end of the Associate Degree to a P or Proficiency by the end of the12th grade. The reverse is not permissible. For example, a competency leveled P or Proficientby the end of the 12th grade in the State Competency Profile cannot be changed locally to a P orProficiency by the end of the Associate Degree. For additional information on leveling ofcompetencies, refer to the Leveling Code Sheet.

Competency builders are intended to help define each competency; therefore, the builders maybe modified as long as that modification does not change or dilute the intent of the State Panel.

Issues which arise regarding delivery of the essential competencies once the program isimplemented will be addressed by a State review panel of business/industry/labor and educationrepresentatives with possible revisions to the State Competency Profile at a later date. Anyissues identified during the local verification meeting should be conveyed to Tech PrepCurriculum Services by the meeting facilitator.

Recommended CompetenciesThe competencies marked Recommended are suggested additions to the State CompetencyProfile. Each of these competencies should be reviewed during a local competency profilemeeting; with a joint panel of business/industry/labor and education representatives decidingwhether to include each competency in the local curriculum. The decision should be based upona consideration of local business needs, as well as priorities and time constraints of theeducational process. Wording and leveling of all recommended competencies and builders maybe modified.

Additional Units/Competencies/BuildersCompetencies and/or builders may be added to any unit in the State Competency Profile.Additional units may also be added.

Occupation DefinitionsSkills may be added to the occupational definitions based on the modifications made during thecompetency review. Because the definition is based on the skills detailed in the competencyprofile, only minor modifications should be necessary.
