Perkins 2016-17 Application Summaries
Accounting
TOP 0502
The equipment installation will substantially improve the teaching and learning environment of the classroom by
providing a collaborative learning studio for faculty and students. Class sections with Supplemental Instruction will
receive priority assignment for this classroom. In addition, this room will be used to support our outreach to students
through our financial literacy initiatives. These are interactive faculty and student lead seminars where students “learn
by doing.”
The proposed collaborative studio classroom will transform the oldest and least functional classroom in our building. It is
a high volume room, used all hours of the day for accounting classes.

The equipment we desire to purchase is being used not only by colleges students will transfer to but also by industry
professionals. By providing students access to industry standard equipment, they are more engaged with the training as
it is more relevant and meaningful to their transfer and career goals. Creating new media content is also a focus of the
broadcasting program. The adivsory board recommended we implement and support a sportsbroadcasting program as
this is an area of high growth.

CSIS
TOP 0707
This year request is for improving the learning environment and providing faculty with up-to-date teaching tools to
support students success and retention in classroom and online delivery environments. This year program improvement
is focused on improving teaching and learning tools in classrooms and online delivery environments. The goal is to
increase student retention and success rate with better listening, doing more of critical thinking, and analysis during
lectures. The Department is always looking into introducing new technology to students. Smart boards and electronic
writing pads are not new tools in education; in fact they are already in use in other institutions, even in high schools.
The CSIS department strives to bring up-to-date technology in our classrooms with new hardware and software
programs. Requesting smart boards and electronic writing pad is just another means to stay current with the everchanging technology.

ECE
TOP 1305
Having a lead tutor/mentor and a dedicated counselor will provide the resources needed to strengthen the academic
and technical skills of students participating in the Early Childhood Education program. Through one on one and/ or
group tutoring, peer mentoring and counselor sessions. Dedicated counselor will assist students in developing an
educational plan, students who follow their education plan; avoid taking unnecessary classes which could delay reaching
their academic and career goals. We began the National Association for the Education of Young Children- Early
Childhood Associate Degree Accreditation ( NAEYC-ECADA) Self-study in Winter 2016 which will lead to NAEYC
accreditation site visit of our ECE AS and AS-T degree by Spring 2017. Our hope is that by seeking this higher level of
professional standards, our program will become more effective in reaching all types of students. One of the
components in this Accreditation is creating KEY Assessments and using the data collected to improve practices.

Film (Digital Film Production) TOP 0612
A dolly is a FUNDAMENTAL piece of equipment that we need in order to teach all of our film production classes and
carry out our film shoots. A dolly is as important for our film production program as having a film camera. It is a standard
piece of equipment found on professional sets in the film and television industries and on every film school that has an
advanced film production program comparable to ours.

Interior Architectural Design TOP 1302
The major trend in interior architectural design is the increasing importance of BIM software and digital fabrication.
Building Information Modelling or BIM is now the standard process of designing architectural spaces collaboratively
using one coherent system of digital models as opposed to traditional CAD drawings. Along with this, the industry has
come to rely on 3D printing and digital fabrication technology to quickly visualize design prototypes.
Implementing 3D printing technology in our advanced courses will assist us in developing articulation agreements with
local undergraduate programs. As our students become more technically adept, they will become more competitive and
have a better chance to perform at levels that four-year schools expect and require. We are also requesting the funds to
rent floor space at the largest design conference in the country, Dwell on Design. This annual 3-day event represents the
best industry outreach opportunity for our program.

Photography
TOP 1012
There were three main issues that the photography board overwhelmingly wanted to see curriculum improvements:
tethered capture, teach Capture 1 Pro software and create more motion/video content. The fashion board demanded
more technology curriculum - period.
Our current iMacs were purchased during the 2010-2011 year. We replaced 15 hard drives this past year and we
currently have three unusable computers. These computers cannot keep up with the size and scope of our current
curriculum and student projects. We, two years ago, upgraded computer ram in order to squeeze out more life from
these computers and it worked, but we now find that the only solution is upgrade to current technology that is capable
of handling our needs. iMacs will be used for both Photo and Fashion.
The three MacBook Pro's are for students to learn and experience tethered shooting. Most of our students do not own
a laptop style computer that can handle tethered shooting and they do not own Capture 1 Pro software. These three
MacBook Pro's will expand our curriculum into this much needed area.
The requested repair budget would allow us to maintain this coming year’s anticipated repairs in both photo and
fashion.
The purchasing of improved / upgraded computers and repair supplimental funds directly matches our program in
keeping current with industry standards, expanding into more software based curriculum and allowing for all current
curriculum to be taught and experienced by our students.
We are requesting six pro level tablets with stylus’ in order to give our students a more real world experience in learning
how to use this valuable tool. We currently have tablets that are not industry standard and require a much higher
degree of accuracy that they only give our students the minimal level of skill attainment. We would like to increase this
skill to better match retouching part of our industry.

Nursing
TOP 1230.10
The nursing program encourages students to further their nursing education by entering programs to obtain their
Bachelor's of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN). Having a current curriculum that is reflective of a contemporary society
has merit in placement in a BSN program at many colleges. The implementation of a New Curriculum using C - MAP will
assist the faculty with meeting the demands of development of a new curriculum. The revision of the curriculum will
assist the faculty in achieving our full accreditation status from ACEN. C - MAP will assist with student learning outcomes
and make this more visiable to the accrediting board. Purchasing of the New Born Tory and the Alaris IV infusion Pump
will assist the students with competencies centered on essential technology for safe and effective nursing care.

Respiratory Therapy
TOP 1210
Members of the advisory board committee continue to highlight that graduates need to have deeper knowledge in
mechanical ventilation. The committee feels that the students are not ready to start work by the time they graduate
and students require longer training than usual. SMC respiratory therapy program does not have sufficient ventilators
in-house ( we have one). All of the hands-on training is provided by our consortium partner, East Los Angeles College
(ELAC). SMC students do not have access to mechanical ventilators on our campus except while taking RT on the ELAC
campus. If SMC RT students want to get hands on they travel to ELAC which is both inconvenient for SMC students and
ELAC as well. In addition, the committee noted the need to prepare students for out-patient settings like pulmonary
function lab (PFT lab) and sleep labs.
