Associate of Applied Science, Technology AAST Degree Revision

Kodiak College, University of Alaska, Anchorage

In response to changing economic, educational, and workforce needs identified within the Kodiak Archipelago, Kodiak College is proposing a revision of the Associate of Applied Science, Technology Degree. The original degree program, as written and approved, is insufficient in meeting identified needs of prospective students and local industries. Proposed changes include: General Education Requirements, Technology Core, and (3) new concentrations in the following disciplines: Welding; Construction; Occupational Safety and Health, all of which articulate into a variety of degree programs within the UAA System. Revisions to the program content will offer students multiple educational and career opportunities in a variety of technical fields locally and statewide. The proposed revisions are as follows: General Education Requirements

• Increase General Education Requirements to 16CR • Specify Written Communication Requirements • Add Physical Science Requirement • Change Math Requirement

Technology Core Requirements

• Reduce Technology Core to 23CR • Add Human Relations Course Options

Technology Concentrations

• Add (3) New Concentration Options in Welding (25cr), Construction (27cr) and Occupational Safety and Health (23cr)

• Suspend Seafood Technology Concentration • Delete Space Maintenance and Technology Specialty Concentration

In recognition of Board of Regents Program Guidelines, the AAST Degree, as revised, will prepare Alaskans to meet future workforce opportunities throughout the state of Alaska. Additionally, the AAST program, as revised, will allow the opportunity to build a strong partnership between Kodiak College, Kodiak Island Borough School District and Industry Representatives which is instrumental in keeping young Alaskans within the UA System to prepare for future leadership positions.

R:\CURRICULUM\Kodiak\Op Plan for AAS Tech @ Kodiak_03-06.doc

Operational plan for AAS in Technology at Kodiak College The plan to offer the AAS in Technology at Kodiak College reflects the college’s interest in providing a high quality, relevant program that prepares Kodiak students for career opportunities in their location and throughout the state. The program recognized the realities of the community in its plan to provide core instruction in general education and technology areas, and to rotate the offering of emphasis areas that are in high demand nationwide. Regular faculty at Kodiak are available to teach general education and core subjects, but the college does not intend to hire regular faculty in the emphasis areas unless there is a strong and continuous demand. Careful consideration has been given to the distribution of responsibilities for course and program delivery. The plan described here accounts for all of the functions that are essential for program success. Kodiak College intends to offer the AAS degree and associated certificate programs with the support and collaboration of the following:

1. Kodiak College Director 2. Technology Coordinator (staff) 3. Kodiak College regular faculty and Instructional Council. 4. Kodiak College adjunct faculty. 5. UAA visiting faculty. 6. Kodiak industry advisory council. 7. Kodiak Technology Council 8. UAA Office of Academic Affairs

These individuals and groups will attend to activities and decisions that ensure the quality and relevance of the program and promote a successful educational experience for enrolled students. Brief descriptions of those activities appear below. Kodiak College Director The director assigns and directs faculty and staff, provides resources, and has responsibility for approval of curriculum actions and for regular faculty, course and program evaluations. The director also is the final authority on student petitions, disputes and exceptions to policy. Technology Coordinator A staff coordinator has been assigned to the Technology certificate and degree programs. She coordinates community and industry needs with the educational programs and arranges for appropriate faculty and facilities for course delivery. She connects instructional faculty with content experts at UAA and assists them in obtaining advice, direction and materials for their courses. She also assists adjunct faculty with compliance with college standards and with the use of available technology. She is trained in student advising and assists in student recruiting in the high schools, and at the local and statewide levels. She coordinates with the existing student evaluation and placement processes to ensure appropriate student admissions and course placements. She gathers and compiles assessment data from internal and external sources and arranges for outcomes assessments and program reviews by the Technology Council. Kodiak Faculty and Instructional Council Besides teaching in the technology core, the Kodiak regular faculty, who make up the Instructional Council, oversee the creation and modification of courses and programs for the college. They link the Kodiak curricula to the faculty governance process, recommend policies and initiate curriculum. They also provide direction and support to adjunct faculty, advising and assisting them in course organization and recordkeeping and in the creation of course materials. Kodiak Adjunct Faculty Kodiak College employs well-qualified adjunct faculty in the technology discipline areas. Adjuncts with acceptable skills and qualifications will teach both core and emphasis courses in the AAS and Certificate programs. They comply with standard college practices for instruction, student evaluation, course assessment, and recordkeeping. The College Director evaluates adjunct faculty performance.

16

R:\CURRICULUM\Kodiak\Op Plan for AAS Tech @ Kodiak_03-06.doc

Visiting Faculty Kodiak College is committed to the use of visiting faculty members to provide instruction in areas where properly qualified faculty members are not available locally. Visiting faculty with content expertise in the degree and certificate emphasis areas (construction, welding and occupational safety and health) will serve on the Technology Council and will advise the director and the Instructional Council on curriculum, assessment and faculty selection criteria. Kodiak College Advisory Council Representatives from the community (normally 8 to 12 members) regularly meet to discuss local issues in higher education and to advise the college director regarding program needs and student performance. Their input was a powerful incentive behind the modification of the AAS degree in Technology. Their input will continue to be sought to help define program impacts and beneficial changes and to assist in student recruitments and internship placements. Technology Council This council will be convened by the College Director and will consist of (1) community members, (2) regular Kodiak faculty and (3) UAA faculty with content expertise in the emphasis areas. They will ensure program quality as they help determine course and program requirements, establish faculty qualifications and performance criteria in content areas, regularly review the curriculum, analyze assessment data, and contribute to program reviews. They will meet at least annually and report to the College Director and Kodiak Instructional Council. UAA Office of Academic Affairs Since support is sought from faculty with content expertise who reside at several UAA campus locations, the Office of Academic Affairs will assist with the communication and coordination that must occur among the deans who direct and assign those faculty members and among the departments where they serve. The accompanying table illustrates the contributions of each to the essential components of the program.
