4. Background and Rationale
The San Bernardino Valley College is located in the Inland Empire region about 11 miles North
of Riverside, just off Interstate 10.
Transportation and Truck logistic functions are embedded in every industry and organization
throughout the valley. The Associate of Science Degree in Heavy/Medium Duty Diesel Truck
Technology program is designed to prepare students for positions with large truck companies
who have a dedicated Service/Maintenance department, small businesses where employees
are cross-trained to fill multiple roles, and possible self-employment opportunities working on
a contract basis with multiple truck operators.
The college has an existing Heavy/Medium Duty Diesel Truck Technology Diesel Technology
Certificate program for students; however faculty recently became aware of a need to expand
this program through meetings with the Transportation Advisory Committee. The committee
membership is comprised of logistic trucking management and adjunct faculty. It was the
unanimous recommendation of the committee to begin offering an Associate of Science
Degree in Heavy/Medium Duty Diesel Truck Technology. See Appendix B for minutes.
Criteria B. Need
Logistic is growing.
No other college offers a diesel technology program in the region.
UTI is a private college 25 miles from SBVC to
This program meets a need in the geographic area and does not cause any competition with
an existing program at another public college. Need was determined by:

Labor Market Analysis: See Item 8

Advisory Committee: See Item 11.

Manager, Parts Manager, Parts and Service Director or opens his or her own Sales and Repair
Business.
This program does not replace any existing program on the college’s inventory. No new courses
are needed for this Degree. This degree makes productive use of existing courses and
resources. For example, Heavy/Medium Duty Diesel Truck Technology Certificate shares a class
with the Auto Technology.
7. Similar Programs at Other Colleges in Service Area
San Bernardino Valley College is an urban college district with two colleges. Crafton Hills, the
sister college to San Bernardino Valley College, does not have any similar Diesel program.
There is a college, Barstow Community College has a Diesel program but the travel is an
average of 71 miles one way. The college UTI, which is a private college that teaches Diesel
programs and charges an average of $35000.00.
A search of CCC inventory at http://curriculum.cccco.edu yields programs at colleges listed in
the table below. The nearest college, Barstow, approximately 71 miles away, is not in the San
Bernardino Valley Community College service area. The college is too far away to commute.

Data Sources and Calculations
Industry Data
In order to capture a complete picture of industry employment, EMSI basically combines covered employment data from
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) produced by the Department of Labor with total employment
data in Regional Economic Information System (REIS) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), augmented with
County Business Patterns (CBP) and Nonemployer Statistics (NES) published by the U.S. Census Bureau. Projections are
based on the latest available EMSI industry data, 15-year past local trends in each industry, growth rates in statewide
and (where available) sub-state area industry projections published by individual state agencies, and (in part) growth
rates in national projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Occupation Data
Organizing regional employment information by occupation provides a workforce-oriented view of the regional
economy. EMSI's occupation data are based on EMSI's industry data and regional staffing patterns taken from the
Occupational Employment Statistics program (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Wage information is partially derived
from the American Community Survey. The occupation-to-program (SOC-to-CIP) crosswalk is based on one from the U.S.
Department of Education, with customizations by EMSI.
Real Time Labor Market Data
The Conference Board Help Wanted Online (HWOL) data services provides data collected from numerous online job
posting websites, job boards, and employer boards to present real-time information on job postings by region. Data
collected and presented here may not be free of duplicate job postings and is not a proven source for estimating total
employment, projecting demand, or education and training preferences.
State Data Sources
This report uses state data from the following agencies: California Labor Market Information Department.
Important Disclaimer
All information and data included in this customized report have been produced from mentioned publicly and privately
available secondary sources. Unlike Center of Excellence Environmental Scans, the information contained in customized

THAN ONE REQUIREMENT. However, units in a student's subject major may be used to fulfill the requirements in Categories I through
V above.
Associate Degree Majors
San Bernardino Valley College offers associate degree majors in most departments listed in Part IV of this catalog. Refer to the chart
on page 41 for a complete list of associate degree majors. Refer to the particular department for course descriptions and a complete list
of the courses required for that major. The associate degree major in a specialized field or major is primarily intended for students who
plan to enter an occupation after obtaining their two-year degree. Students preparing for the four-year baccalaureate degree normally
do not begin to specialize or major until they leave San Bernardino Valley College. For these students, their lower division coursework
will consist primarily of general education requirements and prerequisite courses that will lead to a major in their junior year. Thus a
student planning to be a professional biologist or geologist is actually a pre-biology or pre-geology major during his/her first two years.
Accordingly, these students should declare their associate degree major to be Liberal Arts, and should plan their lower division program
on the basis of the requirements and recommendations of the four-year college or university to which they intend to transfer. Students
are advised to consult the catalogs of the four year schools they are interested in and to discuss specific requirements with their
counselors.

Topic: Role of Advisory Committee
Discussion: Richard Jaramillo went over general role: curriculum consultation,
etc. Kenny Melancon mentioned status of Associates Degree and
general discussion followed on this topic.
Conclusions/Recommendations
Topic: How to strengthen the Diesel certificate
Discussion: Kenny Melancon said a goal of the program is to strengthen the
certificate. Mike Siebert wondered what types of jobs our students
are seeking. Terry Klenske asked if the certificate and transfer
students are mutually exclusive. Kenny stated by strengthens he
means that the certificate will have value in the eyes of local
employers. He mentioned getting our Diesel classes recognized as
preparation for the ASE exams. All agreed to this as a benefit.
Conclusions/Recommendations Pursue aligning our Diesel courses with NATEF and ASE Exams.
Quick Reference for CCC-501: APPROVAL–NEW CREDIT PROGRAM
Topic: Courses in Diesel Certificate
Discussion: Terry has stated that the technicians need to have reading,
writing and math skills in order to survive in this field.
Conclusions/Recommendations Math and English were added to the Certificate Degree.
Topic: Associate of Diesel Technology for employment preparation.
Discussion: The AS Degree in Diesel: The Curriculum Committee has
received the information from Achala Chatterjee and Kenny
Melancon needed to move the AS Degree to the next level
for approval. The Advisory Board members had positive
comments about the need for the AS degree. After
discussion, the committee member agreed that an AS degree
was a good investment for the students. It would help them
get promoted, it would give competitive advantage when
getting hired for the first job, and it would allow students to
teach, allow them to get further education and upward
mobility, and develop an all-around skill set that would
enable the students to get further ahead in work.
Kenny Melancon asked committee for their opinion in regards to
offering an Associate of Science Degree in Heavy/Medium Duty
Diesel Truck Technology for Employment Preparation in addition to
the Diesel certificate. For successful completion of the AS degree,
students would be required to complete General Education courses
in addition to those already required for the Diesel certificate.
It was the general consensus of the committee that an AS Degree in
Diesel Technology would be a much valued credential by the
Trucking/Logistics community.
It was agreed that an Associate of Science Degree in Heavy/Medium
Duty Diesel Truck Technology would be a highly valued credential in
the Diesel mechanic profession as most Diesel professionals
recognize this level of credential as evidence of gaining significant
technical knowledge and a noteworthy achievement in one’s
educational career. Completing the requirement for this degree will
expose students to a broader range of skills thereby providing them
with the necessary knowledge and skills to enter into the
Diesel/Industrial logistics workforce.
The committee unanimously recommended that the Diesel Program
offer an AS Degree in Diesel Technology for employment
preparation.
Kenny suggested and it was agreed by all that since this AS Degree
is for employment preparation only and not for transfer, this
distinction must be made crystal clear when advising student on the
options offered in the Diesel Program.
Conclusions/Recommendations Develop an Associate of Diesel Technology for Employment
Preparation
