A. What Have We Accomplished?
Complete Appendices A (Budget History), B1 and B2 (CLO's), C (PLO's), and D (A few questions) prior to
writing your narrative. You should also review your most recent success, equity, course sequence, and
enrollment data at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2012.cfm.
In year one, you established goals and action plans for program improvement. This section asks
you to reflect on the progress you have made toward those goals. This analysis will be used by
the PRBC and Budget Committee to assess progress toward achievement of our Strategic Plan
and to inform future budget decisions. It will also be used by the SLOAC and Basic Skills
committees as input to their priority-setting process. In your narrative of two or less pages,
address the following questions:







What program improvement goals did you establish?
Did you achieve the goals you established for the three years? Specifically describe your
progress on goals you set for student learning, program learning, and Strategic Plan
achievement.
What best practices have you developed? Those could include pedagogical methods,
strategies to address Basic Skills needs of our students, methods of working within your
discipline, and more.
Are these best practices replicable in other disciplines or areas?
What were your greatest challenges?
Were there institutional barriers to success?
Cite relevant data in your narrative (e.g., efficiency, persistence, success, FT/PT faculty
ratios, CLO/PLO assessment results, external accreditation demands, etc.).
Since programs consolidated some of courses (classes offer concurrently) as a strategy, we were
able to successfully transfer students to their desired universities in budget crisis situation these
past years. As our goal, in ARCH and INTD programs, we successfully transferred more than 26
students to universities and 6 students obtained their AA in architecture and AS in Interior
Design in past years. Our students, in the program, have been admitted to San Francisco, UC
Davis and San Jose State in Interior design, urban design and civil engineering. As right now,
there are 9 students out of 12 applicants who applied to Calpoly San Luis Obispo have been
asked for portfolio review. We are expecting more students to transfer to Calpoly San Luis
Obispo (National ranked #3 architecture school) and UC Berkeley (national ranked #10) this
year.
In ARCH and INTD, we establish a strong student club, learning assistants and study groups.
Students are not afraid to ask questions. Students study together outside the classrooms. The
students club plays a nice bridge to help students’ success in different ways. As a program,
faculty takes students to visit universities, firm tours and participate in local organizations. We
visited CalPoly San Luis Obispo, UC Berkeley and California College of the Arts. We participated
in local Habitat for Humanity housing projects. We had professional firm tours such as HOK and
Huntsman Design group.
1
The challenge was the budget recession; ARCH and INTD adjusted some classes to remain the
best class sequence to students. We were able to make thru the financial crisis. After rearranged course offer sequences, ARCH and INTD programs are able to have better flow of
students with better learning outcome. There is only one full time and 4 adjunct faculties in the
entire ARCH and INTD programs. To be able to successfully offer classes and serve students with
better learning, these two programs will need at least two more adjunct faculties. I will address
this request in later appendices.
As far as the CLO and PLO, ARCH and INTD have successfully rates with 75% or more in student
learning assessments.
B. What’s Next?
This section may serve as the foundation for your next Program Review cycle, and will inform the
development of future strategic initiatives for the college. In your narrative of one page or less, address
the following questions. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-8 (Resources Requested)
to further detail your narrative and to request resources.




What goals do you have for future program improvement?
What ideas do you have to achieve those goals?
What must change about the institution to enable you to make greater progress in
improving student learning and overall student success?
What recommendations do you have to improve the Program Review process?
There are four things In ARCH and INTD programs future goals. There are summer classes
needed for ARCH/INTD, offering architecture internship class (ARCH 80), re-arrange INTD class
offering sequences for two years cycle and Certificate of Achievement in Architecture
Technology.
Due to Building Information Modeling computer lab and drafting studio classroom seats
availabilities, we can only serve limited students in regular semesters unlike large lecture
classes. There is only ONE session per course and some of classes are concurrently offered. It is
very important to offer additional basic ARCH/INTD classes in summer session. (Additional FTEF
will be addressed in later appendix.)
The curriculum committee has approved the architecture internship class (ARCH 80) but has not
offered this class due to the budget. It will need an additional 0,067 FTEF. As the budget
reduction reason, INTD was not able to offer classes in sequence; INTD faculties will re-arrange
the classes per course learning sequences and to meet the two years cycle.
2
ARCH faculties will coordinate necessary parties that will endorse architecture certificate and be
approved by the State. Once we have this certificate approved, ARCH will be able to serve more
students who need to enhance architecture knowledge.
Each discipline’s program review should be read and carefully considered. There are needs to
improve the program. It is also important to help small disciplines to grow by support their
basic needs.

1. How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When
you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated
positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.
The requested budget was received to upgrade Computer-aided Drafting Design software (AutoCAD).
Students have up to date drafting software. AutoCAD 2012 has more power and less memory required
from computer lab. Students are able to design and utilize all new commands.
Yes, this upgrade has a very positive result. This year, we have 9 students out of 12 applicants been
requested for portfolio review for CalPoly, San Luis Obispo (ranked #3 Nationwide architecture school).
Students are achieving the learning goals by successfully completed their portfolio and projects.
2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student
learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted?

Appendix E: Proposal for New Initiatives (Complete for each new initiative)
Audience: Deans/Unit Administrators, PRBC, Foundation, Grants Committee, College Budget Committee
Purpose: A “New Initiative” is a new project or expansion of a current project that supports our Strategic
Plan. The project will require the support of additional and/or outside funding. The information you
provide will facilitate and focus the research and development process for finding both internal and
external funding.
How does your initiative address the college's Strategic Plan goal, or significantly improve student
learning?
Summer classes for ARCH and INTD. Due to the computer lab software (AutoCAD licenses) and drafting
table limitations, these two programs are not able to meet “large lecture” qualification to offer classes
in Summer. These two programs become “pyramid” programs. We are not able to recruit more
students to reach to advanced classes. Some enhanced summer classes will be able to build up the basis
classes.
What is your specific goal and measurable outcome?
By offering Summer classes, we will be able to recruit in about 60 students more for the programs.
What is your action plan to achieve your goal?

Background: Following the completion of the 2012 Chabot College Facility Master Plan, the Facilities
Committee (FC) has begun the task of re-prioritizing Measure B Bond budgets to better align with current
needs. The FC has identified approximately $18M in budgets to be used to meet capital improvement
needs on the Chabot College campus. Discussion in the FC includes holding some funds for a year or two
to be used as match if and when the State again funds capital projects, and to fund smaller projects that
will directly assist our strategic goal. The FC has determined that although some of the college's greatest
needs involving new facilities cannot be met with this limited amount of funding, there are many smaller
pressing needs that could be addressed. The kinds of projects that can be legally funded with bond
dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities."
