Sprinkler Fitters Apprenticeship Proposal Presentation (Tom Clark)
Tom Clark spoke about apprenticeship programs in general, how they are set up, and that
they must be affiliated with a Local Educational Agency (LEA). Local 483, Sprinkler
Fitters San Francisco Bay Area, located in Hayward, has about 200 apprentices.
Apprentices’ starting salary is $22.86 per hour plus retirement and benefits. They work
during the day and take classes in the evening. Ending salary is about $56 per hour.
This program has been approved at the state level by the California State Division of
Apprenticeship Standards. It was affiliated with the College of San Mateo, but now has
made progress to have Chabot College become the LEA. Stacy interjected that CSM has
already written the Course Outlines, which have been approved by the CSM Curriculum
Committee. All we would have to do is fit their outlines into our course outline template
(their #4 would be put into our SLO file; #5 corresponds to Expected Outcomes) and
renumber the classes to fit within our numbering conventions.
MSC (Klein/Giovanola) to approve the Sprinkler Fitters Apprenticeship Program,
with the course outlines included in the proposal, which will be modified as
summarized above. Vote: unanimous by those present at 2:32.

KINESIOLOGY
Dara noted that KINE PAD1, rewritten as KINE DMP, Prevention of Type II Diabetes
Through Nutrition and Exercise, 2 units, cannot be offered as a Kinesiology course,
which are lecture only courses. It needs to be changed to a PEAC course and offered for
.5 to 2 units.

PEAC FUN4 does not provide similar information.

Curriculum Approval Presentation: Applied Technology and Business
BUSINESS
CPA Exam Preparation: Business Environment and Regulation, Certificate of
Proficiency
A new course developed for this certificate was proposed as BUS 18, Taxation
of Business Entities, 3 units. It was discovered that this number has already
been used in BANNER and cannot be reused. Wayne did a search of possible
numbers and discovered that the next usable number is BUS 25. Dmitriy agreed
to that change, and it was made during the meeting.
CPA Exam Preparation: Financial Accounting and Auditing, Certificate of
Proficiency
Dmitriy Kalyagin explained that these programs are for people who already have an
undergraduate or foreign degree and need more information on taking the CPA exams.
Edna commented that these are “feel good” certificates which will not appear on
transcripts. Dara added that due to lack of staffing, Admissions and Records is already
taking 12 weeks to approve degree applications. Processing these certificates places a
burden on the division.

Placing Courses in Disciplines
Wayne called attention to the last page of the agenda packet, and said he was hoping to
assign disciplines for the courses that have “NONE” in the last column of the table. Larry
asked whether this exercise might create problems for instructors’ minimum quals.
In a discussion of the STEM proposal, Patricia noted that Laurie Doctor wants the rubric
(STEM) not the number (101).
Further discussion was tabled.
