9. Is this the first time this course has been offered?
The second time?
10. Justification for need (required):
Required - Justification for Need (Provide a brief description of the background and rationale for the course. This might include a
description of a degree or certificate for which the course is required or the relationship of this course to other courses in the same or
other disciplines. To see examples of such descriptions, consult pages 10-11 of The Course Outline of Record: A Curriculum Reference
Guide. www.ccccurriculum.info/curriculum/regulationsguidelines/Downloads/Curriculum-paper.pdf )
This course will be used to provide access for students to industrial robot programming and
operation. The course addresses the need to provide lower division robotics instruction for
students planning to transfer to Oregon Tech. CR is preparing a formal articulation
agreement with Oregon Tech and the area of robotics was identified as a weakness in our
curriculum. SB70 funds have been used to acquire the technology necessary to conduct the
class and faculty have attended professional development in the programming and operation
of the new equipment.

CATALOG DESCRIPTION -- The catalog description should clearly describe for students the scope of the course, its level, and what
kinds of student goals the course is designed to fulfill. The catalog description should begin with a sentence fragment.
An introductory course in industrial robots. Students will learn to program, set up, and operate
industrial robot arm equipment, including interfacing robot control systems and various sensors

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES –This section answers the question “what will students be able to do as a result of
taking this course?” State some of the objectives in terms of specific, measurable student actions (e.g. discuss, identify,
describe, analyze, construct, compare, compose, display, report, select, etc.). For a more complete list of outcome verbs please
see Public Folders>Curriculum>Help Folder>SLO Language Chart. Each outcome should be numbered.
1. Safely operate industrial robots.
2. Create detailed industrial robot programs that perform functions as assigned.
