1. Number of new faculty requested in this discipline: __2___ [Please list staffing request(s) on your Resource Request
spreadsheet.]
2. Rationale for your proposal. Please use the enrollment management data from your attachments (see #4) to support
your rationale. Additional data that will strengthen your rationale include FTES trends over the last 5 years,
persistence, FT/PT faculty ratios, SLO assessment results and external accreditation demands.
Two adjunct automotive faculty are needed one is for replacement and one will be additional. To allow our students
access to needed classes during the evening hours we will need to replace one adjunct faculty member. The faculty
member left at the beginning of this semester (Spring 2011) and the cancellation of classes took place. This has
overloaded night classes and also forced student to stop attending college because of classes not being offered. If the
replacement of this adjunct instructor is not done soon we will be unable to serve our working community, that is trying
to work during the day and improve themselves and their life by attending Chabot College at night.
Another adjunct automotive faculty will be needed to cover the additional classes required by the industry. More
manufactures are turning to hybrid automobiles which requires both technicians in the industry and students wishing to
enter the need for this training. With the increase of hybrid class and the needed classes to support these courses one
adjunct faculty will be needed that has hybrid experience along with general automotive.

3. Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and program review are required. Indicate here any
information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal.
The movement of the automotive industry over the past few years has been to move away from fossil fuels and create
“Greener” vehicles. One of the ways to accomplish this has been the movement to Hybrid vehicles. It has be voiced
through our advisory committees and community that good hybrid training is hard to find, difficulty to afford and hard to
schedule. Chabot college has started to fill that void for our community and the industry that works in it. It has always
been part of our strategic plan to stay current with the industries trend and to provide needed training for our students so
they may enter an ever changing automotive industry.
