Changes
Professor Norton Reid retired from the department.
Professor Dizinno and Davis continue to work on a new AAS degree program in Energy Engineering Technology.
Two new courses are being proposed for the Design Drafting curriculum:
MT494 Introduction to Architectural CAD
and MT495 Building Energy and Environmental System Design.
Facilities/space changes
Facility modification
Purpose
Semester
Facility Evaluation
In room T03 the Thermofluids laboratory 5
new table top
thermofulid experiments were purchased
and installed.
a Gravlmetroc Hydraulics bench, a Flow
measurenment bench, a Vortex apparatus,
a Friction loss in a pipe bench and a
Rankine cycle steam turbine power system.
In S321 the Metallurgy lab two new PC
based metallurgical
microscopes were purchased and installed
to upgrade and
modernize the
material covered in the
courses MT514, MT125
where the equipment is
used
Fall 2010
The equipment upgrade has
incrreased the students interest
and understanding as well as their
technical skills.

Departmental procedures for conducting assessment
. The Department has entered its courses into the QCC course assessment database. The
database contains information on clearly stated student outcomes for each course entered.
.Rubrics are developed for selected courses. Data is gathered on a regular basis and evaluated based on the rubrics.
.A Department curriculum committee reviews the results of the data and makes recommendations to improve the results.
