Resolution to Approve the Title/Number Change
For the Program Titled
Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating (30-401-1)
Background Information:
The existing Diploma program in Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating is a one-semester
program. This program has 16 credits, and is very basic training in the HVAC/R career area. The
current curriculum does not lead into other educational or training programs, thus is very limited.
The program change will modify the curriculum for the Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating
Diploma program so that it ladders into the curriculum for the Associate Degree program. This will
give students a truly viable option for furthering their education after completing the Diploma. The
modification will also provide instructors more time to incorporate new technologies, as well as make
the curriculum more compatible with the newer sustainability curriculum.
This proposed program change is supported by the program advisory committee. At the spring
meeting last year, there was discussion on expanding the 1-semester program, with a
recommendation that faculty further investigate this. At the meeting on 10/25/11, the advisory
committee approved the proposed modification.
Resolution
BE IT RESOLVED, that the District Board of the Milwaukee Area Technical College submit a request
to the Wisconsin Technical College System for consideration and approval of the title/number change
for the program titled Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating.

CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order by Gary Stramowski in Room A102, South Campus at
7:39 a.m. Introductions were made around table.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The minutes of the May 3, 2011 meeting were approved by the committee as
presented.
OLD BUSINESS/REPORTS:
Election of Chair: Tabled until next advisory committee meeting.
Enrollment / Retention: Al Brotton, MATC counselor reported that we started a new
group of diploma students in August that will be finishing this December and a group
that began in January taking the last 8 credits will also finish this December.
Applications for diploma program are down quite a bit from last couple of years.
Orientation is planned immediately after registration for new students is available which
is November 21. In regard to the associate degree, classes filled up fast and we are
running 2 sections during the day and one section at night. Retention for diploma
program has been steady. Gordy mentioned that some students experience financial
aid issues. Al Brotton explained the financial process and availability. Steve inquired on
cost of our programs and grant and/or scholarship availability. All agreed our programs
are a very wise and cost effective investment.
Curriculum: Following suggestion of the committee, a proposed change to the diploma
program from a 1 semester to a 2 semester technical diploma program which will ladder
into the associate degree program was presented. This change will take effect for Fall
2012/13 term. Handouts detailing changes and SOA template for 401 were distributed
for review. (See attached) Lengthy discussion followed with examination of proposed
changes/additions. Steve inquired if this program uses ECAM and was told currently
not. However, going forward to a 2 semester program time would allow for this. Steve
moved we adopt the change of diploma program from one semester to two semesters
with modifications as presented, Gary seconded and motion was approved. (Approval
of motion by excused committee members will be conducted via e-mail.)

Minutes of October 25, 2011

Geothermal/Solar: Dave Singer presented approved Heat Pump course for SP2012 as
an elective for associate degree and eventually including it in the one year program.
We need to obtain additional heat pump equipment through capital dollars. Once
equipment is up and running, geothermal/solar will integrate. Faculty explained type of
equipment needed. This is the first HVAC elective offered. Heat reclaim will be offered
next as elective. Gary moved to secure heat pump equipment funding, Steve seconded
and motion was approved. (Approval of motion by excused committee members will be
conducted via e-mail.)
HVAC Excellence Accreditation: Nationwide accreditation which we will continue to
work toward. They will now review two semester program.
Recruitment: Doni explained flyers he posted throughout the community last summer.
He will continue promoting and include new programs. Faculty will be at open house on
November 5th. Doni will keep printed media current. Steve N. suggested we stay
proactive in regard to offering apps for I Phone and I Pads and electronic access.
Discussion held on how to promote new 2 semester offering.
Tools and Equipment Update: Walk in cooler in process of justification for capital.
Computer tied in to metasys. Johnson Controls working on sensors for geothermal.
Equipment is much improved as we have updated and replaced needed tools. Deb
reviewed last capital list with committee and discussed status.
NEW BUSINESS:
Industry needs / Program feedback: Addressing I apps is forefront. Supermarket
rack system training, however we are limited due to space. Steve will be presenting the
“Future of Refrigerants” in Feb. 2012. He offered to present to HVAC faculty as well.
Suggested we research laptops in the field and CAD as a viable course within associate
degree program. Students must apply themselves to digital world. Basics are needed
as base but then must target technology. In future technicians – mechanics – installers,
job skills will be specialized.
Capital wish list: Will tie into new programs (2 semester and heat pump) and submit
list before November. A few items desired are 5-Copeland diagnostic trainers, Lennox
roof top and central air split condensing unit with sensors, 3 ton chiller air handler. Deb
will create a list to submit to members of committee. Steve noted absolute need for list
on paper.

RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
MILWAUKEE AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE AND MPTV FRIENDS, INC.
Background
Over the last several months Milwaukee Area Technical College (“MATC”) and MPTV
Friends, Inc. (“the Friends”) have been in negotiations to combine the fundraising operations
of the Friends under the management of Milwaukee Public Television (“MPTV”), a division of
MATC. The terms of the agreement that has been negotiated accomplishes what
amounts to the integration of the Friends as an internal fundraising structure within MPTV.
This includes obtaining all Friends funds, assets, obligations, and liabilities. The most
significant value conferred on the Friends is that its employees and Board members will
have the right to indemnification in connection with claims brought against them if the
Friends would have been obligated to provide for indemnification in the same
circumstances.
The agreement also provides for aspects of the mechanics of transition and for clarity in
public statements about it. In addition, the agreement contemplates that certain Friends’
employees will be offered comparable positions with MATC, and those not hired by MATC
will be given agreed upon severance allowances by the Friends.
RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Milwaukee Area Technical College District Board approves
the terms of the agreement between MATC and MPTV Friends, Inc. to combine the
fundraising operations of the Friends under the management of MPTV.
