Computer-Aided Drafting andDesign Technology

Career Cluster—Architecture andConstruction

Every manufactured product in the worldmust be defined in the form of solid modelsand/or engineering drawings performed by adrafter or designer. In defining a product, anextensive process of design and evaluationmust take place before it is ready to be man-ufactured. The drafter, who is the key link inthe design engineering and manufacturingsteps, must possess a working knowledge ofdesign principles, material properties, andmanufacturing processes to bring togetherthe final product design using models andworking drawings. The drafter uses CAD(Computer-Aided Drafting) technology toproduce the necessary design models anddetail drawings. At KCC, CAD technology isintroduced at the very beginning of the cur-riculum and is used throughout the programfor the completion of drawings and models.The Computer-Aided Drafting and Designprogram uses two of the most popular CADpackages in industry, AutoCAD® andSolidWorks®, to produce all models anddrawings. As reflected in the curriculum,CAD majors are required to complete a vari-ety of technical subjects relating to designincluding materials science, manufacturingprocesses, mathematics, and physics. Thisprovides the student with the foundation ofknowledge needed to successfully functionin an engineering environment. The draftingand design curriculum leads to an Associatein Applied Science, and the recommendedhigh school units of study for the programare outlined at the end of the catalog.Students interested in transferring to a four-year institution should see a drafting anddesign advisor for information on the transferprograms.

Fire ScienceCareer Cluster—Law, Public Safety,Corrections, and Security

The Fire Science Program is designed to pre-pare students for career and promotionalopportunities. The courses are focused on theroles and responsibilities of municipal fire-fighters and fire officers.

Kellogg Community College is a member ofa five-college Fire Science Consortium thatserves students in southwest Michigan andnorthern Indiana. Glen Oaks CommunityCollege (GOCC), Kalamazoo ValleyCommunity College (KVCC), KelloggCommunity College (KCC), Lake MichiganCollege (LMC), and Southwestern MichiganCollege (SMC) are current consortium mem-bers. KVCC serves as the administrativehost for the program and confers all FireScience certificates and degrees.

The consortium agreement provides signifi-cant advantages to students in the FireScience Program. The ability to offer FireScience classes at multiple sites throughoutsouthwest Michigan enhances the accessibil-ity of the program and reduces travel require-ments. Financial advantages are achieved byallowing students to register and pay for FireScience classes at their in-district consortiumcollege at in-district rates, regardless ofwhere the classes are being held. Requiredgeneral education classes can be taken atKCC, transferred to KVCC, and appliedtoward graduation. Contact a counselor atKVCC for transferability of classes from col-leges other than GOCC, KVCC, KCC, LMC,and SMC. Students must apply for admis-sion to KVCC prior to transferring tran-scripts from other colleges. As you neargraduation, you are strongly encouraged tomeet with a counselor at KVCC.

NOTE: Students must accumulate a minimum of15 credit hours from at least one fire science con-sortium college to be eligible for graduation.

FIRE 102 - Firefighter I & II is offered oncea year in the winter semester. The eligibilityprocess for FIRE 102 is conducted during thefall semester. Students wishing to pursueFirefighter I & II certification are encouragedto contact the Fire Science Program Managerin early August.

The program can recognize a limited numberof training certifications issued by the state ofMichigan and the state of Indiana. Studentspossessing state certifications should contactthe Fire Science Program Manager at 269-488-4202 for transferability.

The Fire Science Program is not designed as atransfer program; however, it has transfer capa-bility into the Open-Learning Fire Science pro-gram of the National Fire Academy, SpringArbor College’s Management of HumanResources, and Lake Superior State University.

NOTE: The above sequence is academically chal-lenging. Many students elect to take their generaleducation and Biology 201, 202, and EMT 110prior to admission into the PTA courses in the pro-gram (physical therapy course work). The PTAcourses will still require two academic years tocomplete.

° The eight (8) week summer semester and the finalsixteen (16) week semester of clinical experiencesrequire the time commitment of a full-time student.

NOTE: Some of the clinical sites used for studentplacements during the second year of the PhysicalTherapist Assistant Program are located at consid-erable distance from the college. A car will defi-nitely be needed for transportation. In some casesstudents may need/choose to move (live) closer totheir assigned clinical sites for six-week periods,especially during the final spring semester of theprogram.

Grades of “C” or better are required in all gener-al education, and Physical Therapist AssistantMajor courses in the program to qualify a studentfor graduation.

NOTE: For students needing to complete a pro-gram on a part-time basis, the Physical TherapistAssistant Program offers a three-year PTA trackoption to a LIMITED number of students eachyear. For further information about this option,contact the program coordinator.
