Recap of accomplishments
Work to do
To help increase the female
enrolments in the Manufacturing
Technologies, TMCC held a woman's
technology Expo at the Edison
Campus. Efforts to increase both
female and Hispanic enrollments and
graduation rates are also being
developed through the future Ace
High School and Round One and
Round Three of the TAACCCT Grant.
The Welding program has also hired a
full time bilingual employee (English
and Spanish) and the Machining
program had hired a part-time
bilingual (English and Spanish)
Instructional Assistant.
The Manufacturing Technologies
programs are in the process of
embedding mathematics and human
relations into the curriculum. During
the process all courses were
evaluated for meaningful and
measurable learning outcomes in
compliance with TMCC best practice
strategies. Randy Walden, Trenton
Schoppe and Laure'I Santos have
committed extensive efforts to
revamp the learning outcomes and
measures for courses within the
Machining, Production Technician
and Welding sequence. These
three new hires provide a consisted
approach which is believed will aid in
the development of consistent
application of assessment across the
different disciplines.

Continue to press for
facilities upgrades,
especially those that
affect safety.
Ongoing
Work with Advisory
Board to develop
strategies to expand
students' use of new
equipment.
Ongoing
grant round four.
New doors and a new ventilation
system were added to the welding
lab. A new floor is being planned for
the machine shop that would create
a level surface and also create a
brighter surface that would enhance
the lighting in the shop. Anew
Production Technician lab is also
being built as part of the Edison build
out. It is expected that the drafting
program will relocated to the Edison
facility following the proposed build
out.
The manufacturing unit programs all
continue to work with advisory
boards to create internships, student
placement opportunities and to also
advise the programs on new and
emerging equipment.
