'Attending CCRI was the best decision Iever made. My life has improved and Ienjoyed doing what I was trained for fromCCRI."

John OjihManville, RI

Each year, the Community College of Rhode Island conducts a study on theemployment and continuing status of the previous year's graduates.

This year, a survey for the class of 1999 was distributed to 1421 graduates. Amailing and a follow-up telephone survey produced a total response rate of 82.3 per-cent. A sample questionnaire is provided in Appendix B.

Results from the survey indicate that, with small exception, 1999 graduates areemployed and/or continuing their professional studies. The statistical breakdown re-veals that 80.4 percent of the 1999 graduates are employed (48.7 percent full-time),33.4 percent are continuing their education (11.9 percent full-time) and 4.8 percentcontinue to seek employment. Information comparing responses of graduates fromthe classes of 1997, 1998, and 1999 can be found in Appendix C.

Since the Report on Career Placement and Transfer of 1999 Graduates is basedon a self-report survey, some caution in interpretation is suggested. The following infor-mation should provide further clarification of the data. Average salaries, based on a40-hour week, are reported only for education-related employment and may show anunexpected broad range due to data collected from both graduates in entry-levelpositions and professionally employed graduates who attended CCRI for further profes-sional development.

The overall results from this year's Placement and Transfer Report again validate,as did all reports since 1985, CCRI's success in preparing students for careers and forfurther education.

CCRI has two Engineering Technology Programs. The Electronic Engineering Technology Program educatesstudents as technicians in the design, development and testing of engineering models and systems. Graduatesof this program pursue careers as engineering associates, engineering aides in research and development,field engineers, sales engineers, engineering technicians, technical writers or assistant production managers inthe electronics industry. Due to the increasing complexity of electrical and electronic equipment, many studentsdecide to expand their knowledge by pursuing a four-year degree in engineering technology. The MechanicalEngineering Technology Program trains students to convert engineering theory into working plans in order tosolve real world problems. The students study traditional engineering subjects such as physics, math, statics,materials and mechanisms as well as taking courses in the areas of robotics, tool design, quality control, CAD,production planning and cost estimating. Graduates are qualified to seek employment in the design as well asthe manufacturing or industrial engineering areas.

The Computer Engineering Technology Program offers studentsa chance to acquire heavier concentrationin computer education. Computer engineering technicians are needed to assist engineers in the design,development and testing of hew devices, and they are needed to install, operate and maintain computerequipment. In industry they may be found in design, in sales, in research and development, or in the fieldproviding technical information and service to the users of computer engineering technology.

The Telecommunications Engineering Technology Certificate is designed for individuals who already have abasic knowledge of mathematics and circuit theory. Telecommunications technologies are needed to plan,install and maintain state-of-the-art telephone systems, cable TV and computer networks. Although technologieshave knowledge of theoretical topics, they tend to focus on solving practical design and application problems.
