Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC): The Electrician Program has no
classroom computers available for student use.
Agriculture Building Laboratory: Room 2001 has no student computers. A
dedicated laptop is used along with an LCD projector for instructional PowerPoint
presentations, and a dedicated computer is used to operate a plasma cutting
system. Many of the welding apparatuses used in the shop have computerized
controls. This room also houses the faculty office with computer and printer.
2) Please provide an analysis of the utilization and effectiveness of technology
resources. Include any accessibility issues.
Discussion and Analysis:
Buckeye Building #6: Rooms 401 and 403 utilize cutting-edge technology
resources including computers and software. The students are well served by this
technology and the knowledge it brings. These rooms are open Fridays as part of
an open lab environment. This greatly improves accessibility for students.
Rooms 402A and 402B are current in their technology resources and software.
All computers are currently running up-to-date training simulators and 6 design
software programs. The students have the same software available for use in the
library and the Hanford Center campus, providing students with easy access for
additional training after class hours. The instructor utilizes lab training videos
III.C. Technology Resources/ Academic Program Review
Page 2 of 11
Revised 1/21/11
available on iTunes to view lecture/ lab demonstrations. The LCD projector
needs to be replaced to view these lab training videos. Room 405 computers
allow students to utilize industry standard construction control programs for
inventory and building progress management. These programs give the CT
students a very good technology experience as part of the CT curriculum. New As
part of the college’s implementation policy when the Pharos System was installed
all existing printers were removed without consulting instructors. This resulted in
the loss of our 11x17 format laser printer. Due to this, an upgrade is needed to a
new multi-size format laser copier printer to meet industry standards of size and
quality for building plan sets and portfolios. Rooms 408 and 412 have computers
that are fully utilized daily. However 10 additional computers are needed to fully
serve student’s needs. Industry training demands have increased in the area of
programmable logic and motor drives, presenting a critical need for the addition
of 6 new laptop computers to give all students this vital industry-based training.
Faculty offices equipped with computers and printers are utilized by both fulltime and adjunct faculty and are effective for teaching resources.
Cedar Building #7: Rooms 421 and 424 can serve as lab or lecture classrooms.
Both rooms have adequate space, but are crowded at the current enrollment rates.
The equipment is adequate for the instruction of computer repair and networking
courses. This room also accommodates multiple open lab sessions where students
may gain access to the technology to complete classroom assignments. In
addition, this classroom is also utilized by the Computer Club for multiple
industry related club activities. Equipment for the CISCO curriculum is outdated
and inadequate. At present we are using simulator software to fill the gap, but
simulation software fails to give completers real-world experience. Rooms 422
and 423, laboratory and classroom respectively have limited space for students
and equipment. Equipment is outdated and does not run some current software
programs. Room 425 (Wood Shop) the equipment in the wood shop is utilized to
teach fundamentals of machine operations for millwork and cabinet construction
the nature of the dust in the lab is not compatible with keyboards and computers.
The lecture portion of the millwork and cabinet design are done in room 405.
Faculty offices equipped with computers and printers are utilized by full-time
faculty, adjunct faculty, and the part-time division secretary and are effective for
teaching resources.
Kaweah Building #29: Room 204A utilizes cutting-edge technology resources
including computers and software. The students are well served by this
technology and the knowledge it brings. The part-time division secretary office is
equipped with a computer and printer which serve the needs of the division.
Bly Sky Aviation Building: The Aeronautics Program has limited access to
technology resources since both programs are mostly offered off campus.
Because the program is limited in numbers, Blue Sky Aviation provides all of the
computer and other technology necessary for students to utilize.

TCOVE Building, Hanford Vocational Education Building, and Bakersfield
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC): The Electrician Program contains
numerous laboratory activities involved with NCCER certification. The district
provides all of the tools and supplies necessary for the students to complete these
certification assignments to become NCCER certified.
Agriculture Building Laboratory: Room 2001 lacks any student computers.
Effective use of many computer aided welding apparatuses is at industry levels.
These include computerized plasma cutting systems and computer controlled
orbital GTAW welding apparatus. The welding lab is used for instruction six
days a week and five nights a week. The faculty office is equipped with computer
and printer that are utilized by both full-time faculty and adjunct faculty, and are
effective for teaching resources.
Room 408 is adequately serviced with technology resources for this year.
3) Please describe any progress in achieving program plan measurable outcomes
or implementing your program plans in Technology Resources from your
previous Program Review and Annual Updates. Describe alternative solutions to
achieve the measurable outcomes for your program plans.
Discussion and Analysis:
Since the last Program Review and Annual Update the I&T Division has made
progress in achieving program plan outcomes in technology resources. The
following represents the technology resources obtained by each program: The
Architecture, Drafting Technology, and Graphic Design Programs have acquired
a new large format plotter, a new large format scanner, and a small desktop
scanner. The Environmental Control Technology Program has obtained an
upgraded energy management system for the environmental controls classes and
continues to add video lab demonstrations to assist students. The Electronics and
Information Technology programs have acquired several updated switches and
routers for the CISCO program. The Electronics and IT programs are relying on
discarded district computers for its labs. The Automotive Program has acquired
an on-car brake lathe for turning brake rotors on the vehicle. We have also
acquired a virtual laboratory program for our core course offerings. Construction
Technology Program has acquired a computer refresh for room 405 . The
Aeronautics Program has acquired two new helicopters, classroom facility and
computers to support students. The Electricians Program has acquired new
equipment such as conduit benders, electrical instrumentation and other supplies
necessary for NCCER Certification. The Welding Program has acquired four new
Lincoln L35 GMAW welders, Simco Plasma Cam Cutting System, and used three
ton Toyota forklift.
The I&T Division, utilizing the program plan process identified needs and have
utilized VTEA and Above Base Budget Funding processes to meet some program
plans in technology resources. This division’s greatest strength is its close ties to
III.C. Technology Resources/ Academic Program Review
Page 4 of 11
Revised 1/21/11
the industry it trains students to enter. These ties are built and maintained by the
faculty members. These close relationships have resulted in many donations of
technology resources and material. These donations and alternative funding
sources have allowed for the completion of multiple program plans.
4) Please describe your program’s plans for Technology Resources (plan

5) Please provide a narrative describing your plans to improve Technology
Resources. The narrative should identify key needs or issues, describe how the
plans will address the issues and describe how the plans will be implemented over
the next several years. Describe how your plans will support any strategic plan
indicated in the table.
The I&T Division faculty members will continue to keep instructional technology
current meeting the needs of both faculty and students. The I&T Division faculty
members will continue to participate in the campus refresh program as well as
VTEA and Above Base Budget Funding Programs. These efforts will maintain
the currency of hardware and software. Financial resources and budget
constraints are likely to be the biggest obstacles in maintaining and improving the
division’s current technology. Through continued partnerships with industry,
faculty members will continue to cultivate support for the division’s diverse
programs. The promise of a new Tulare Campus for some programs holds the
possibility of many upgrades to needed technology.
The strategic plan will be supported through enhanced technology access, by
expanding avenues of opportunities for students to achieve their educational goals
and by improving the use of campus technology.
