Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 2:05 by committee chair Cindy Hicks. She introduced
Lupe Ortiz, the new representative from Social Sciences, and Wayne Phillips, faculty
member from Applied Technology and Business.
II.
Minutes of September 21, 2004
MSC (Chun/Immisch) that the minutes of September 21, 2004, be approved as
presented.
III.
Applied Technology Presentation
Cindy Hicks commented that throughout the packet, the Baccalaureate Course? column is
marked as “No” or “N/A.” Some of these courses already transfer to CSU as electives.
Unless the division wishes to remove that transferability, the courses should be marked as
“Yes.” If the division wishes to add CSU transfer to new courses, the column should be
marked “Yes” and Articulation Form #2 should be submitted.
Dan Raveica presented the Welding portion of the packet. He reported that response
from LPC is pending. Cindy requested that the information be updated on the rationale
form as response is received.

Curriculum Committee
10-5-04, page 3
a large portion of his materials budget. Many of the students are coming to Chabot to
take only this class.
It was suggested that WT 64B and WT 65B be added as prerequisites. Nolly Ruiz
feels this is an artificial prerequisite based only on cost. Further discussion focused
on a materials fee to help offset the cost of the course (this might be problematic
because students do not take their projects away with them) and the possibility of
offering the course under Community Education with a cost-covering fee.
Dan Raveica will make a decision and bring a revised proposal to the next
meeting.
Needed:
• Write Methods of Presentation as a list. I.e.,
1. Laboratory demonstrations
2. Individualized instruction
3. Etc.
• Add a typical textbook (including date).

Welding Technology 70, Introduction to Welding, 2 units
Catalog description change, including the statement “Combined credit for Welding
Technology 70 and Welding Technology 71 may not exceed 3 units.” Dan explained
that this limitation is because the lecture portion of the two classes is the same.

Catalog description change, including the statement “Combined credit for Welding
Technology 70 and Welding Technology 71 may not exceed 3 units” (see discussion

It was suggested that the Catalog Description indicate that the course is intended for
artists. There was discussion on where the art instruction for this course comes from,
Curriculum Committee
10-5-04, page 4
and whether it should be cross-listed with the Art discipline. The possibility of
changing the title to “Welding for Artists” was discussed. Patricia Shannon will
share the discussion with the Art faculty.
Discussion on the similarity of the Course Content for the two courses.
Needed:
• Add notation in the Catalog Description and the Abbreviated Course Outline that
the course is intended for artists or change the course title (see above).
