Where We’ve Been– Since the launch of the ESYS program, we have developed and delivered 18 new courses through the 13-14 academic year. Two of the courses replaced two of the original offerings, as part of the effort to align our courses with skills required by industry and sought by students. The ESYS program has developed an innovative approach to delivering multiple courses with minimal FTEF requirements. This approach enables the ESYS program to maintain respectable productivity, multiple Fall and Spring entry points for new students, and multiple certificate and degree pathways with minimal department size. The key to this approach is to offer every course as a hybrid, online lecture and in-class lab. The trending terminology for this is the “flipped” classroom. In-class instructor time is spent supporting lab activities, answering questions, and providing “mini-lectures.” All of the traditional lecture content is delivered online. The “flipped” classroom model permits us to schedule two classes meeting concurrently in the same lab. The instructor “shifts gears” to support two different groups of lab activities. The major benefits are providing greater access for students by doubling the course offerings for the given FTEF and higher productivity by producing WSCH for both courses. Overall productivity, from the startup phase 2009-2010 up to 2013-2014, was 389. We are continuing to refine our scheduling, and productivity has shown continuous improvement yearto-year. Success rates are excellent, with overall success over 80% for the last three semesters. Our intro sections have the lowest success, which is to be expected, and our advanced sections are typically in the 90-100% success range. FT/PT faculty ratios are 67%/33%, but will shift as the Cisco Networking courses are moved from CAS to ESYS, most likely resulting in an 81%/19% ratio. Upon completion of our CLO assessments, we determined that we should continue to refine our online curriculum and, to a lesser extent, our in-class lab activities. 2. Where We Are Now - Review success, equity, course sequence, and enrollment data from the past three years at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2014.asp Please complete Appendices B1 and B2 (CLO's), C (PLO's), and D (A few questions)before writing your narrative. Limit your narrative to twopages. After review of your success and retention data, your enrollment trends, your curriculum, and your CLO and PLO results, provide an overall reflection on your program. Consider the following questions in your narrative, and cite relevant data (e.g., efficiency,persistence, success, CLO/PLO assessment results, external accreditation demands, etc.): 1 • What are the trends in course success and retention rates (based on overall results and CLO assessments) in your program? Compared to overall college averages, our course success and retention rates are in line with these averages. However, our CLO results from the last year show a decline in success in some courses. This may be an anomaly for only this year, but we are aware of the change and are looking for factors that may be impacting student success. Since we are a small program, with many courses having only one section offered each year, the gender and ethnicity data do not have sufficient numbers to draw generalized conclusions for these groupings. All of our classes are offered as hybrid delivery, online lecture, in-class lab “flipped” design, so we have no comparisons with other delivery methods. Specific course and program recommendations and plans are listed in the CLO and PLO assessments in the Appendix. As noted in last year’s program review, we have expanded our Computer Networking Technology courses and established two new Certificates of Proficiency in ICT Cloud Services and ICT Cloud Infrastructure. We added eleven new courses to the schedule, two courses replacing the retired CCNA curriculum, and nine new courses. By partnering with LPC to concurrently schedule linked courses at both colleges, we were able to expand our course offerings within the existing FTEF allotment. 3. The Difference We Hope to Make - Review the Strategic Plan goal and key strategies at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/prbc/StrategicPlan/SP forPR.pdf prior to completing your narrative. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-8 (Resource Requests) to further detail your narrative. Limit your narrative to three pages, and be very specific about what you hope to achieve, why, and how. Note: Chabot is in the process of creating our next Educational Master Plan, to last six years. Educational Master Plans are generally large enough in scope to be flexible. They are used in particular at the District Level to guide in facility and community planning. Please take this moment to reflect on your program’s larger term vision(s) and goals (6 years), and to incorporate them into Program Review under the section below as a separate paragraph or otherwise. The drafters of the Educational Master Plan will be mining Program Review for contributions to the plan, with a commitment to read what programs have submitted. IR has offered to work with programs to determine future market trends to be incorporated into this year’s program review in relation to long-term goals. Please contact Carolyn Arnold for support. We will have other avenues to communicate with the Educational Master Plan Consultants. This is simply one avenue. 2 • What initiatives are underway in your discipline or program, or could you begin,that would support the achievement of our Strategic Plan goal? By reorganizing and renaming the Computer Networking Technology courses, we are highlighting our offerings for students to find career pathways in this industry. Our team approach with LPC allows us to leverage the talents of senior faculty at both colleges to the benefit of both programs. • Over the next three years, what improvements would you like to make to your program(s) to improve student learning? We would like to expand our CNT program, possibly teaming with the Computer Applications Systems program, to offer an A.S. Degree and Certificate of Achievement program in Information and Communication Technology. Our ESYS program provides a well-rounded experience to prepare students for positions in a wide range of positions. As we identify target industry areas, such as the proposed BART electronic technician training, we would like to create additional courses to support additional Certificates of Achievement for these targeted skill sets. • Over the next 6 years, what are your longer term vision(s) and goals? (Ed Master Plan) The ESYS, CNT, and CAS programs all have unique characteristics that justify maintaining them as independent program. However, there is a great potential for cooperation among the programs. This has already started with ESYS and CNT cross-listing courses. Our plan is to continue to explore areas of synergy and cooperation, while maintaining the individual programs and the career paths supported by each of them. • What areyour specific, measurable goals? How will you achieve them? We would like to complete the development of the A.S. degree in Information and Communication Technology. This will require our continued collaboration with the CNT program at LPC, and most likely the Chabot CAS program, in order to implement the plan with reasonable costs and FTEF allocation. As we see where the three-year plan of expanding ESYS and CNT lead, we will determine the • Would any of these require collaboration with other disciplines or areas of the college? How will that collaboration occur? Collaboration with the CNT program at LPC will continue. We have started discussion with the Chabot CAS program for areas of cooperation and joint development. 3 Appendix A: Budget History and Impact Audience: Budget Committee, PRBC,and Administrators Purpose: This analysis describes your history of budget requests from the previous two years and the impacts of funds received and needs that were not met. This history of documented need can both support your narrative in Section A and provide additional information for Budget Committee recommendations. Instructions: Please provide the requested information, and fully explain the impact of the budget decisions. Category Classified Staffing (# of positions) Supplies & Services Technology/Equipment Other TOTAL 2013-14 Budget Requested 1 student $ 20,694 $27,000 2013-14 Budget Received 1 student $13,866 $27,000 2014-15 Budget Requested 1 student $33,945 $8,500 2014-15 Budget Received 1 student $33,945 $ 13,000 $ 47,694 $ 40,866 $ 42,445 $ 46,945 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 continuation of funds allows the program to provide the necessary materials and equipment for the students. This is critical for the student to learn hands-on skills required in the electronics industry. The new funds allocated this year were used to launch the Netlab+ remote-access lab system, a joint project between the Chabot and Las Positas Computer Networking Technology disciplines. This is proving to be a valuable tool for students at Chabot and Las Positas, enabling online delivery of courses that could not otherwise provide the critical hands-on activities. 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? Funding has been adequate for program continuity. 4 Appendix B1: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Reporting Schedule I.

For any questions answered "no", please provide an explanation. No explanation is required for "yes" answers :-) 1. Have all of your course outlines been updated within the past five years? YES 2. Have you deactivated all inactive courses? (courses that haven’t been taught in five years or won’t be taught in three years should be deactivated)ESYS 72ABCD and CNT ABCD are at endof-life this semester and will be deactivated in the next curriculum cycle. 3. Have all of your courses been offered within the past five years? If no, why should those courses remain in our college catalog?YES 4. Do all of your courses have the required number of CLOs completed, with corresponding rubrics? If no, identify the CLO work you still need to complete, and your timeline for completing that work this semester. The new CNT courses require CLOs, and they will be completed by Dec. 19, 2014. 5. Have you assessed all of your courses and completed "closing the loop" forms for all of your courses within the past three years? If no, identify which courses still require this work, and your timeline for completing that work this semester.YES 6. Have you developed and assessed PLOs for all of your programs? If no, identify programs which still require this work, and your timeline to complete that work this semester.PLOs for the CNT certificate program require PLOs, and will be completed by Dec. 19, 2014. 7. If you have course sequences, is success in the first course a good predictor of success in the subsequent course(s)?Success in subsequent courses is typically above 80%, but the trend has been downward over the last two years, possibly reflecting a greater percentage of younger students. This is likely related to the improving economy, as older working adults find employment instead of taking our courses. 8. Does successful completion of College-level Math and/or English correlate positively with success in your courses? If not, explain why you think this may be.Insufficient data to draw conclusions. Working adult students typically are on the Certificate path, and will not take Math or English courses, so we cannot evaluate the effect of taking these courses. 72 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? Note: This is an update of the initiative submitted last year. Changes are shown in bold italics. This initiative will provide additional pathways for students seeking careers in the computer networking field. We enhance student learning by leveraging the expertise of senior faculty at Chabot and Las Positas. What is your specific goal and measurable outcome? Offer courses for certificates of proficiency in ICT Cloud Infrastructure and ICT Cloud Services at Chabot and Las Positas by cooperatively providing online courses and on-campus support. We will leverage our resources by cross-listing online courses at both colleges, sharing load between faculties at CC and LPC. This will generate WSCH for both colleges while effectively only requiring half of the FTEF at each college. The NetLab+ online lab environment, started as a joint project last year, will provide online lab activities accessible from both colleges. The online experience will be supported by existing on-campus CC and LPC lab facilities. A side benefit of this cooperative project will be that students at both campuses will have greater exposure to the advanced certificate and degree offerings at CC and LPC, which may result in students pursuing additional certificates and/or degrees. What is your action plan to achieve your goal? Activity (brief description) Submit new course(s) and certificate proposal to curriculum committees and both colleges Schedule courses for Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 Target Completion Date Fall 2013 DONE Spring 2014 DONE 73 Required Budget (Split out personnel, supplies, other categories) None 0 to 0.2 FTEF for Fa14-Sp15 and Fa15-Sp16 Deliver courses Report on enrollments and certificates awarded Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 Fall 2016 Five new or revised courses running this Fall, and five scheduled for Spring ‘15 How will you manage the personnel needs?

No Yes, explain: Will the proposed project involve subcontractors, collaborative partners, or cooperative agreements? No Yes, explain: This project requires collaboration, coordination, and continued cooperation with LPC Computer Networking Technology department. Do you know of any grant funding sources that would meet the needs of the proposed project? No Yes, list potential funding sources: 74 Appendix F1: Full-Time Faculty/Adjunct Staffing Request(s) [Acct.

Please use the enrollment management data. Data that will strengthen your rationale include FTES trends over the last 5 years,FT/PT faculty ratios,recent retirements in your division, total number of full time and part-time faculty in the division, total number of students served by your division, FTEF in your division, CLO and PLO assessment results and external accreditation demands. Additional part-time instructorsare required to cover sections for sabbatical leave in ‘15-’16 and to support additional course sections for proposed BART technician training grant. No additional FTEF allocation is needed (if awarded, grant will cover costs of additional sections). 2. Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and your student learning goals are required. Indicate here any information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal. 75 BART is proposing to fund a cohort of 25 students through a 33-unit program, starting Fall ’15. This cohort will come from non-technical BART employees and from Oakland Workforce Development, and will feed directly into technician positions at BART, a direct pathway to employment. 76 Appendix F2: Classified Staffing Request(s) including Student Assistants [Acct. Category 2000] Audience: Administrators, PRBC Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for new and replacement positions for full-time and part-time regular (permanent) classified professional positions(new, augmented and replacement positions).Remember, student assistants are not to replace Classified Professional staff. Instructions: Please justify the need for your request. Discuss anticipated improvements in student learning and contribution to the Strategic Plan goal, safety, mandates, and accreditation issues. Please cite any evidence or data to support your request. If this position is categorically funded, include and designate the funding source of new categorically-funded position where continuation is contingent upon available funding. 1. Number of positions requested: __2___ STAFFING REQUESTS (2000) CLASSIFIED PROFESSIONALS Position ESYS Lab Technician, halftime or full-time (pending BART grant funding) Classified Professional Staff (2000) Description Program/Unit ESYS Lab Technician Electronic Systems Technology STAFFING REQUESTS (2000) STUDENT ASSISTANTS Postion ESYS student lab assistant Student Assistants (2000) Description Program/Unit 12-20 hrs/wk lab support for Electronic Systems evening classes Technology 77 PLEASE LIST IN RANK ORDER Division/Area App Tech & Business PLEASE LIST IN RANK ORDER Division/Area App Tech & Business ESYS lab student assistant 12-20 hrs/wk lab support for evening classes Electronic Systems Technology App Tech & Business 2. Rationale for your proposal. The set-up, maintenance, and organization of the lab equipment and supplies places a large burden on faculty, and reduces the time the instructor has to interact directly with the students during their lab activities. The student lab assistant maintains an organized lab, which results in a safer and more productive environment for students and faculty. As the utilization of the Netlab+ remote-access system increases, so does the administrator workload. A permanent lab assistant could be trained to perform these administrator tasks. If the proposed BART training grant is funded, we will need lab support in the afternoon, in addition to the current evening support. Although it may be possible to find two qualified student lab assistants to fill this need, a permanent employee would add stability and continuity to the program, and the grant will provide partial funding for the lab assistant. 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. Hands-on skills training is a central element of the ESYS program, and the ESYS industry advisory committee has stressed the importance of these skills. The additional support of a lab assistant provides a better organized, more efficient environment and directly results in improved student learning and enhanced safety. 78 Appendix F3: FTEF Requests Audience: Administrators, CEMC, PRBC Purpose: To recommend changes in FTEF allocations for subsequent academic year and guide Deans and CEMC in the allocation of FTEF to disciplines.

Background: Following the completion of the 2012 Chabot College Facility Master Plan, the Facilities Committee (FC) has begun the task of reprioritizing 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." Do NOT use this form for equipment or supply requests. Instructions: Please fill in the following as needed to justify your requests.If requesting more than one facilities project, please rank order your requests. Priority #1 Brief Title of Request (Project Name): ESYS Lab Chairs and Stools Building/Location: Bldg. 1600, rooms 1602 and 1616 Description of the facility project. Please be as specific as possible. Replace chairs and stools in lab classrooms 1602 and 1616 with adjustable-height stools and . 28 stools and 25 chairs in 1602 24 stools and 9 chairs in 1616 What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support? This supports the Electronics Systems Technology, Computer Networking Technology, and Engineering programs. Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Strategic Plan Goal and to enhancing student learning? The current chairs and stools are a mix of leftovers from other rooms. Most of the bench stools are solid metal, with a flat wooden seat. Most of the chairs are very uncomfortable, and many have broken height adjustment, adding to an uncomfortable work posture. Several chairs and stools are broken or have been removed for safety concerns. ESYS labs are fours hours long, ENGR labs are three hours, which makes it difficult to sit and concentrate for that length of time. The discomfort of the students distracts them from making the most effective use of their lab time. 87 Priority #2 Brief Title of Request (Project Name): ESYS Electric Power and Network Upgrade Building/Location: Bldg. 1600, room 1614 Description of the facility project. Please be as specific as possible. Add two dedicated-circuit 120 volt, 20-Amp outlets and a 1 Gbit fiber network drop to support the Netlab+ system What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support? This supports the Electronics Systems Technology, Computer Networking Technology, and Computer Science programs at Chabot and Las Positas. Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Strategic Plan Goal and to enhancing student learning? The Netlab+ remote-access lab system presently draws approximately 1.5 kW power from a single outlet in room 1614. The network connection it through a 100 Mbit Ethernet line to the IDF closet. In order to support the projected additional student load from additional Chabot and LPC courses utilizing the Netlab+ system, and from the regional support consortium currently in development, additional hardware will increase the power load and network bandwidth requirements. Priority #3 Brief Title of Request (Project Name): ESYS Lab Space Floorplan Re-alignment Building/Location: Bldg. 1600, rooms 1602, 1614, and 1616 Description of the facility project. Please be as specific as possible. Remove interior walls between 1602, 1614, and 1616. Create storage space at each end, and open class space in the middle, with 18 benches, supporting up to 3 students each, networking lab space supporting 8 networking pods, a shop area for circuit board and sheet metal tools, and an open area that can be arranged with tables and chairs for lecture, or moved to provide space for portable lab stations, as used in ESYS 56A, 57A & B, and 62. 88 What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support? This supports the Electronics Systems Technology, Computer Networking Technology, and Engineering programs. Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Strategic Plan Goal and to enhancing student learning? The layout of the lab space in 1602 and 1616 is inefficient, outdated, and was hastily assembled to accommodate the rapid relaunch of the ESYS program in 2009. A better-organized floor plan will enhance student learning by providing an environment more conducive for performing the lab activities. 89
