Submit resource requests on time so administrators can include requests in their prioritization and discuss with their area at November division meetings. 1. What Have We Accomplished? Complete Appendices A (Budget History), B1, 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/Data2015.asp. Limit your narrative to two pages. 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 to assess progress toward achievement of our Strategic Plan and to inform future budget decisions. In your narrative of two or less pages, address the following questions: • What program improvement goals did you establish? The Machine program has established a number of priorities for areas of improvement. The primary goal of the machining program was to increase the number of students gaining employment or advancing in their current employment. The machining program focus is also to continually improve productivity, safety, and efficiency of the student’s tangible learning environment in the laboratory this is partly achieve through replacing old equipment, adding state of the art equipment, and purchasing new technologies. Finally the machining program focused efforts to increase its adjunct faculty and advisory committee with additional members that have a vested interest in the machining program to start the process of revising its curriculum to keep the program relevant to the latest industrial information, processes and innovations while adhering to college policy. • Did you achieve the goals you established for the three years? Specifically describe your progress on goals you set for student learning, program learning, equity, and Strategic Plan achievement. The Machine Tool Technology program, through the use of Measure B bond funds, has an updated manual machining facility in building 1400 an a new Numerical Control facility in building 1600 has been built. All malfunctioning equipment has been repaired or replaced and updated technologies have been added to the manual shop. The creation of a numerical control machining laboratory in building 1600 along with the general renovation of the manual machine shop in building 1400 has freed up space and allowed for the positioning of equipment to provide a safe and efficiently functioning manual lab for the Machine Tech students. The construction of a numerical control machining lab in building 1600 has brought our machining program up to date with the latest technologies used in the local area businesses. All the new equipment has been integrated into the curriculum and students are learning the operation, programming, and setups required to create parts and projects on each piece of the new equipment. The Machine program offers instruction in commonly used CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Machining) and Solids Modeling software. The equipment and the software are the same equipment and software a student will see in the work place making them more employable. The Machine Tool Program would not be able to provide its services and course offerings without vital program funding. During this past program cycle, the Machine Tool Program has received 100% of its funding from the Perkins fund. This fund was established for the technological advancement of the program, instead; out of necessity due to zero funding support from the general fund, the Perkins fund has supplied the funding needed to purchase the consumables required by the machine students. As consumables such as end mills, taps, drills, cutters, metal, and equipment accessories have increased, the Machine Tool program budget has also increased. Lack of funding would directly affect all machine students in all courses. Every machine class offered requires students to learn vital skillsets that directly require the use of consumables in order to teach the course. If funding was to be reduced, the success of the student learning outcomes would decline, and students would not receive the opportunity to learn and practice these skillsets. The Machine Tool faculty are all very proud that our students are being sought after and hired by shops and manufacturing facilities all over the western United States. We not only have many students hired locally but students have found good jobs as far south as San Diego, as far north as Seattle Washington, and eastward to Phoenix Arizona. Employers tell us they are very pleased with our students and their skill sets which causes them to return and hire more students. • 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. The program is a stellar example of one of the college’s missions to prepare students for employment and to provide education for updating skills that provide improved employment potential in today’s world market. Students in today’s program are exposed to current industry tools, equipment, and manufacturing processes providing the necessary critical thinking skills to be successful as a worker in the industry today. Due to Measure B Bond funding our facilities mirror local manufacturing facilities and prepares students for real world experiences and working on the same equipment and software they will see in the local industry. That investment has improved our enrollments and increased our job placements. The increased use of Blackboard, creating video instruction for projects and machine operation, detailed procedure sheets for all machine functions and operations, and making these all available to students in pdf form. • Are these best practices replicable in other disciplines or areas? Yes. • What were your greatest challenges? We need to continue to keep up with industry practices and technologies. We have a five axis machine tool and need to upgrade our CAD/CAM systems to five axis capability. Continue to update our program to more closely match what is being done in the local industry, like adding a "hole popper" to our wire EDM curriculum to more closely match industry practices. Both the manual and numerical control labs still need work to organize and better utilize the space and equipment. We need to continue to update our curriculum and software to more closely match the changing needs of the machining industry. • Were there institutional barriers to success? Lack of a lab technician to maintain and repair equipment which would free the faculty to work on pedagogy. Inconsistent supply funding which hinders planning and student work. The loss of the pcard system also means that purchases take a long time to complete which inhibits students from designing and creating their own projects. This affects student motivation and accomplishment. The procedure for software and hardware purchases are a major problem. It is very difficult to get some critically needed purchases done. • Cite relevant data in your narrative (e.g., efficiency, persistence, success, FT/PT faculty ratios, CLO/PLO assessment results, external accreditation demands, etc.). 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 and Ongoing Initiatives and Projects) and F1-8 (Resources Requested) to support your narrative. • What goals do you have for future program improvement? Continue to update our equipment and SOFTWARE. It is critical to maintain our software to what is used in the industry today. Students MUST be efficient with the software used by the local industries. We must obtain more secured sustainable source of funding for the Machining Program. Forge stronger ties with local industry leaders. Update our curriculum. Foster articulation between the welding program and local High schools/ROP programs. Build up our adjunct faculty and prepare for the retirement of our current full time faculty. • What ideas do you have to achieve those goals? Make justifications through the budget committee for the need of sustainable secured sources of funding for the program. Create stronger ties with local industries through direct relationships/partnerships with local industry leaders. Encouraging student employment through these relationships. Foster articulation between the machining program and local High schools/ROP programs by promoting the Machining Program, and evaluation whether a dual student enrollment is possible for credits. • What must change about the institution to enable you to make greater progress in improving student learning and overall student success? Hiring a Lab Technician for the Machine Tool program would allow the faculty to focus more on student learning goals without having to be heavily involved in the day-to-day operations needed to run the program. Making computer hardware and software purchases easier and fewer obstacles to the required purchases. 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. • 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 financial needs of this program are satisfied exclusively on the availability of Perkins fund and State initiated funding through Lottery 3, with no financial help originating from the college general fund. The allocation partially satisfied the purchasing of essential machining consumables, accessories and maintenance needed to ensure proper lab activities for the entire machine student body. The yearly expenditure allocation for consumables, worn out equipment, and equipment services is insufficient to properly maintain our program. The price of a single carbide endmill is $78.50 each, the amount we spent to ensure the laboratory accommodation for one of our students was insufficient and has a negative educational effect. In the same time 2013-2014 machine shop operation cost for machine tool related items such as: precision tools, cutters, 3D printing materials, machining raw materials, machining accessories and equipment maintenance have substantially increased thus limiting effects of our purchasing power and adding additional strain to student’s ability to fully accomplice the lab curriculum requirements. More than in any other vocational discipline, student’s skill level can be achieved or improved only through intense lab tasks repeatability supported by appropriate supplies at the time of demand. A “onetime mid-year state supply funding” is a very welcome event but hasn't happened often enough for current and future students to benefit. Budget sufficiency and dependability is one of the essential factors for this program to be able to sustain the proper student skill development. The funding that was received directly impacted/aided in the students learning. In order for students to develop their machining skills, functional machinery needs to be provided. Another necessity for student learning is for the student to advance their skillset through repeating the lab machining and programming tasks, this requires a substantial amount of consumables and supplies. The funding provided for Supplies and Services is linked directly to the progress of student learning outcomes. Technology and Equipment was used to purchase equipment specifically for lab safety. The remaining funding received for staffing (Student Assistant) went into the safety of the students. The Student Aid assisted with the lab safety and security of the students. • 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? The program already runs with funds under the requested amount. This has a direct impact on student’s performance. The successes of these machining courses are strictly tied to lab performance. The lack of supplies and materials limits the students ability for lab work and refine their skills in the machining trade. The attainment of expected skills is directly dependent on consistent and adequate funding. Inadequate program support will severely handicap student’s learning objectives an skills which will make them less prepared for the job market. The lack of proper funding will directly negatively impact each students learning experience and limit their academic growth and job readiness.

Category 2000] Audience: Administrators, PRBC Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for student assistant 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 these positions are categorically funded, include and designate the funding source of new categorically-funded positions where continuation is contingent upon available funding. Rationale for proposed student assistant positions: Two student assistants are requested, one for the manual classes and one for the advanced machining classes. The primary tasks/responsibilities of this student assistant will be to increase safety in the lab environment and to help students complete their lab projects. Machining skill sets require highly individualized and manual processes. Due to the nature of these skill sets, group learning is not usually optimal. The student assistants help students complete their lab assignments in a timely and safe manner. The risk of accident occurrence increases due to the fact that there is only one instructor overseeing an average of 24 students per session. The ability to essentially have a second set of eyes monitoring student activities would greatly reduce the risk of future student safety incidents. How do the assessments that you preformed to measure student learning outcomes (SLO’s) or service area outcomes (SAO’s) support this request? The request for two student assistants is in line with the Machine Course Learning Outcomes and the Colleges Goals to provide a safe learning environment for the entire student body.

Background: Although some of the college's greatest needs involving new facilities cannot be met with the limited amount of funding left from Measure B, smaller pressing needs can be addressed. Projects that can be legally funded with bond dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, and equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities." In addition to approving the funding of projects, the FC participates in addressing space needs on campus, catalogs repair concerns, and documents larger facilities needs that might be included in future bond measures. 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. Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Machine Tech Storage and Air Compressor Area behind bldg. 1600 Building/Location: Building 1600 Type of Request __x_ Space Need ___ Small Repair ___ Large Repair ___ Building Concern ___ Larger Facility Need ___ Other (grounds, signage…) Description of the facility or grounds project. Please be as specific as possible. The current structure has walls, no ceiling, two gates, an air conditioning unit cement pad, and a partial floor. Remove the gates and add a double door keyed access, enclose with a ceiling, add electricity and lighting, finish the cement floor and remove the old air conditioning pad. Install and auxiliary air compressor for MTT and ET classes. What educational programs or institutional purposes does this request support and with whom are you collaborating? Machine Tool Technology Briefly describe how your request supports the Strategic Plan Goal? Currently storage for both Machine Tool Labs is in the shops themselves. This causes loss of valuable shop floor space and tripping hazards. Storage of raw materials, coolant drums, and spare equipment would make for more efficient use of our shop floor space for students and faculty. The building 1600 air compressor has sporadic breakdowns and when this happens the machine tool and electronics equipment won't function leaving students with no equipment to operate.
