Curriculum is up-to-date and reviewed regularly for opportunities for quality improvement
Courses are offered in a staggered rotation
Instruction in the programPart 6: Personnel Summary
Part 7: Faculty/Staff Development
Automotive Technology faculty members:Bring years of practical experience to the classroomStrive to provide optimal instruction in the disciplineParticipate in continual professional development
Program stabilityPart 8: Enrollment Trends
Part 9: Student Performance and Completion
High school student enrollment is high and stable in day classes
All classes have a relatively low attrition rate and a relatively high success rate (Fall 2001)
Facilities and financesPart 10: Facilities and Equipment
Part 11: Financial Resources
Because of the College’s continued support of the Program, equipment is up-to-date
Scheduled Phase 2 construction will provide industry-standard dedicated facilities
The Program consistently generates revenue for the College through apportionment dollars
Opportunities for improvementPart 12: Department Weakness
Recommendations for remediation include:
Providing instruction for working technicians seeking preparation for certification
Continuing with scheduled Phase 2 construction
Continuing to support vocational students via the scholarship fund
StrengthsPart 13: Department Strengths
Participating students are prepared for certification and entry-level employment in the tradeFaculty have a record of carefully sequencing courses to insure program completionThe Program supports students wishing to continue with technical education, giving almost $7000 in scholarships last year
