The existing equipment was old and
New equipment was purchased and
inadequate for modern drafting practices. installed in S-319, S-321, S-416
Upgrade CAD equipment in S318
The existing hardware and software
needed to be replaced by the latest
versions.
New hardware and software as
installed in S-318
Replace existing couse MT-488
with new course MT-293
Parametric CAD is more relevent for MT
students than is AutoCAD
New course MT-293 was passed by
the Academic Senate.
Develop new AAS Degeree
program in Energy Engineering
Technology
A new curriculum which treats the latest
forms of energy generation and
management needs to be developed.
LEED Certification should be part of the
program.
An AAS Degree Program was
devloped in conjuction with the ET
and PH Departments. An NSF Grant
was witten in support of the project
entitled: Enhanced Experiences in
