Figure 25 • Engineering course-demand over about the past dozen years. Note that the FTES in engineering has MORE THAN
DOUBLED since the early 2000’s. This additional demand has been accommodated with adjunct instruction, and by OverLoading the
current instructor. The overload and assisting the adjunct instructors has IMPEDED the effort by current instructor to continue to
Build and Maintain the extensive NetWork of OUTSIDE Engineering and Technical Contacts developed over by current instructor.

Figure 28 • Memorandum of Understanding between Bruce
Mayer and Chabot College OutLining the requirement that
current Engineering instructor teach math courses (below
calculus) should the college need such services to support the
needs of Chabot College students. The Author has, in fact,
provided instruction for MTH: 65, 55, 55A, 25, 16, 15.
