REQUESTING NEW FACULTY POSITIONS
Discipline _CAS / CNT / ESYS____
Historical Note:
Faculty assignments, course listings, and course cross-listings have been fluid among the
three disciplines for several years. Proposed CAS curriculum revisions expand on the
comingling of courses. For the purpose of evaluating faculty load, a summary of the three
disciplines is presented along with the three individually. A brief summary follows.
Prior to the 2008-09 year, Cisco Networking Academy courses were offered through the
Electronics and Computer Technology discipline. As an outcome of the program
revitalization/discontinuance process, the Cisco Networking Academy courses were
offered through CAS, starting in Fall ’08, as CAS 92A, B, C, and D. These courses were
taught by one of the faculty from the suspended electronics discipline, who also taught
other CAS courses during this suspension period. The Fall/Spring scheduling of courses
represented a 0.47 FTEF load. Our academy contract with Cisco requires that instructors
of these courses be trained and certified through the Cisco Networking Academy. Our
full-time ELEC instructor is the Cisco Academy coordinator, and has been since 2002.
Also as an outcome of the program revitalization/discontinuance process, the electronics
discipline was re-launched in Fall ’09, including computer and information technology
courses offered through the Cisco Networking Academy. The CAS 92ABCD courses
continued to be taught by the full-time ESYS instructor, and ESYS part-time faculty
taught the Cisco Academy ESYS courses. To consolidate all Cisco Networking Academy
courses under one discipline, and to coordinate the information technology course
offerings with those offered by the Computer Networking Technology (CNT) program at
Las Positas, these courses were changed to cross-listed ESYS and CNT courses, and were
offered as such starting in Fall ’13.
Starting in Fall ’14, several online CNT courses were added to the schedule as a
cooperative project with Las Positas, where one instructor would teach a section with
combined Chabot and Las Positas students. This added nine new CNT courses at Chabot,
with only a net increase of 0.75 CAH. Although this was proven to be beneficial for
student access and faculty productivity, the recent faculty retirement at LPC has left us
without a willing partner to continue this cooperative scheduling.
CAS is restructuring its core program to align with a statewide model curriculum. This
curriculum was built to address the current and projected workforce demands, and
includes several of the ESYS and CNT courses, including those required for the ESYS
A.S. degree. Efficient operation of these programs requires sharing of lab space and
equipment, joint participation with outside organizations (e.g. Cisco, EMC2, CompTIA),
and faculty assignments to these courses. Therefore, the full-time faculty allocated to any
one of these disciplines impacts the operations of the others.

If there are any external factors that limit class sizes, please explain.
On-campus CAS courses are limited to the maximum seating of the computer lab
where the class is scheduled. ESYS courses are limited by lab capacity and safety
factors, plus additional limitations for some courses due to lab equipment
capacity.
Criteria 4.
Current instructional gaps and program service needs. List the
courses to fill the gaps, if applicable.
The additional emphasis on information technology-related
courses in CAS will require instructors with specialized
knowledge, skills, and certifications.
Criteria 5.
Describe how courses and/or services in this discipline meet PRBC’s
three tier criteria. These include:
 Tier 1: outside mandates (e.g. to ensure the licensure of the program.)
 Tier 2: program health, (e.g. addresses gaps in faculty expertise and
creates pathways, alleviates bottlenecks, helps units where faculty
have made large commitments outside the classroom to
develop/implement initiatives that support the strategic plan goal, and
helps move an already successful initiative forward.
 Tier 3: Student need/equity, (e.g. addresses unmet needs as measured
by unmet/backlogged advising needs, bottlenecks in GE areas and
basic skills, impacted majors in which students cannot begin or
continue their pathway.)
Criteria 6.
Upon justification the college may be granted a faculty position to
start a new program or to enhance an existing one.
Is this a new program or is it designed to enhance an existing program?
Please explain.
Criteria 7.
CTE Program Impact.
Criteria 8.
Degree/Transfer Impact (if applicable)
List the Certificates and/or AA degrees that your discipline/program
offers.
Provide information about the number of degrees awarded in the last three
years.
