1 Spring 2018 BPCC Industrial Technology Advisory Committee Minutes Attendees: March 9, 2018 Joshua Adams, BPCC Student Mohammed Ali, UT Jack Andres, Swepco Gary Bruns, BPCC Student Josh Crawford, Benteler Gayle Flowers, BPCC Mark Harner, BPCC Dan Hershberger, FastStart Lamont Lackman, BPCC Jennifer Lawrence, BPCC Megan Martin, BPCC Mark Miller, UT David Moore, BPCC Student Sandra, Partain, BPCC David Pratt, Jett Business Systems Jeanne Smith, BPCC Chad Snitke, Omni Paul Spivey, BPCC Tim Stanley, Swepco Lesa Taylor Dupree, BPCC Angie White, NLEP Kenny Williams, Graybar Welcome and Introductions Lamont Lackman called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone and started round table introductions. Adoption of last meeting minutes VOTE: Angie White made a motion to approve the minutes from the last meeting, Oct Seconded by David Pratt Vote in favor of motion is unanimous Review of Industrial Technology Program Program Enrollment Outlook Lamont went over the enrollment and graduation numbers for the past 3 years showing stagnation in enrollment and graduation numbers. Both of the TEED instructors now want to focus on recruitment and a name change. TEED instructors, Mark Harner and Lamont Lackman would like to take steps to recruit students and change the program name to Engineering Technology. The current Engineering Program at BPCC does quite well but the fact is that many students will not graduate because they lack the preparation to go through that program. The math demands in the Engineering Technology would not be as strenuous and those students would have a better chance of graduating in the new Engineering Technology program. Angie White suggested to work with BIPSTIL, Caddo Career Center, also reaching out to the rural communities where there are potential students who are already performing

2 the same skills as a way of life. She offered a list of contacts and offered to make the introductions. Lamont stated that most of the students currently in Industrial Tech are non-traditional students and most classes are in the evening because most students are working during the day. Sandra Partain suggested that we partner with the military base to attract students and explain what kinds of jobs they will be able to get after they finish the program. SACS Accreditation Megan Martin reported that there is currently no news about our accreditation, we were not asked for any follow-up reports for this program from the visit in October. The full report will come out in December. Industry Based Certification Update (CPT, SolidWorks, Siemens) Lamont updated the list of our current group of Industry based certifications available: Certified Production Technician administered by Manufacturing Skills Standards Council (national) TCA, CTS, and AAS Certified SolidWorks Associate SolidWorks (national) AAS and CTS currently have approximately 30 vouchers for students to go online and test free of charge. Our first group of students will be doing this in the upcoming fall semester. Siemens Mechatronics Systems Assistant Siemens (international) AAS and CTS has been in place for a while and last fall out of 11 students total 10 students passed. ATMAE Lean/Six Sigma Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering This class has been in place since last fall and had a successful pass rate. Changes Since Last Advisory Board Meeting (CTS, Grants) Mark Harner was hired as a full time instructor, he was previously an adjunct for the TEED program. The change to the one semester TCA for the Certified Production Technician and established the one year CTS in Engineering Graphics. Review and Endorsement of Program Objectives (vote) Program Content Changes/Discussion Program objectives and content for each of the following programs was reviewed.

3 AAS Industrial Technology Automation and Controls 2 years Change to the 2 nd year adding the Industrial Technology Elective Student has the option to choose from other technical courses. CTS Industrial Control Systems 4 Semesters This program has 4 semesters with a Fall/Spring alternation because most people are non-traditional students and can t go full time so they can still get this certification in 2 years or less. There were no changes to this program. AAS Industrial Technology Engineering Graphics 2 years Change to the 2 nd year adding the Industrial Technology Elective Student has the option to choose from other technical courses. CTS Engineering Graphics 1 year New CTS program that was asked for in the past is now in the catalog. This program also offers a technical elective. AAS Industrial Technology Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics 2 years Program offer two Technical electives in the 3 rd and 4 th semester. CTS Advance Manufacturing and Mechatronics 1 year TCA Certified Production Technician 1 semester Discussion Lamont stated that most of the technical courses are taught at night and that students do have choices to take the math classes during the day and online. It was a consensus that night time classes are essential for the success of the program since students as well as the adjunct instructors have day time jobs. Lesa Taylor Dupree reported that TCA is recognized by the LCTCS but not by the Board of Regents on the statewide matrix. The Board of Regents has just approved a new certificate, A Career Technical Certificate This certificate has fewer hours (6-18 hrs) than a Certificate of Technical Studies. During this next year BPCC will be looking at our TCA s and hopefully transitioning them to career and technical certificates. One of the criteria is that there is an industry based certification within that certificate. The Board of Regents is now recognizing the value of work ready programs. We can apply the components to the Board of Regents to gain a Career Technical Certificate, giving us more opportunities for advertisement and exposure at the state level with this stackable credential. Students earning this certificate will be recognized as a completer. This will be a process and no definite date is available. VOTE: Kenny Williams made a motion to accept the content, timing and objectives of the programs to be accepted as described in the presentation. Seconded by Jack Andres Vote in favor of motion is unanimous

ATMAE approved the Automation Controls and Engineering Graphics concentrations, with a follow-up report in 2 years to be re-accredited. Lamont next discussed The Siemens Mechatronic System Certification Program (SMSCP) which is an internationally recognized certification for Mechatronic System Professionals. There are 3 levels of Certification and we currently offer the Level I to our students that are in our program. 25 students have taken the Level I Exam to date with 21 passing. 13 students are eligible to take the Level I Exam in December Thanks to the TAACCCT grants we have been able to purchase hands on equipment for our students. Lamont Lackman discussed all the equipment now offered in our classrooms. The curriculum was discussed, beginning with the addition of the new Industrial Technology concentration of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics. This degree began in spring 2016, as well as the CTS in AdvancedManufacturing and Mechatronics. Next discussed was the spring vote for program changes. These changes were voted on through and put in place. See handout for detailed listing.

Tim Stanley requested an endorsement to move forward and proceed with the approval process of adding the CTS in Engineering Graphics. Lauren Roberts made a motion. Dr. Rafiqul Islam seconded the motion. All approved with no opposition. Discussion was made on the need to imbed more computer skills into the current TEED courses. This better prepares the students and helps them with the class projects. Lamont agreed and stated that he would work on adding more computer literacy into these courses. Lamont Lackman next discussed the TCA in Manufacturing. He explained the current content in which the students receive a TCA certificate from BPCC, as well as a Certified for Manufacturing Certificate C4M. He proposed to modify the current content with two new courses to receive a (CPT) Certified Production Technician certificate from MSSC

9 (Manufacturing Skills Standards Council). This new content would remove AMFG 100, 102, 104 and 106 from the TCA and replace with two new courses, AMFG 107 and 108. For the AAS in Industrial Technology in Advanced Manufacturing, AMFG 104 and 106 would also be replaced with AMFG 107 and 108. Discussion was made about the C4M program and if it is going to go away. Sandra explained that this program is not stackable into another degree program, therefore is not covered by financial aid. Deana Watkins further explained that these classes have been covered through a grant and in December this funding will go away. A decision was made to table this discussion and to communicate through with new ideas for this program. Deana Watkins discussed the Advanced Manufacturing TAAACCT 3 grant. This grant is funded by the (DOL) Department of Labor and as one of the requirements, the grant must serve at least 600 students. As of today, the number of students served thus far is 492. Niesha McCoy discussed the Resume Café that will take place on November 10 th. This is specifically for employers to come in and help our students with their resumes. On December 8 th, we will have our last round of Speed Interviews. If you are an employer and you have not participated in the speed interviews before, please contact Niesha to reserve your spot. This is a great experience for our students. Beonica Frazier discussed the TAACCCT 4 grant which has allowed us to bring welding to our campus. We provide customized welding training for industry for any local businesses as well as Advanced Welding courses taught here on campus. Members were offered a tour of the classrooms as well as the welding area. Sandra Partain expresses her appreciation of all attendees and their constant support. Tim Stanley requested a motion to adjourn. Gayle Flowers made a motion. Dr. Rafiqul Islam seconded the motion. All approved with no opposition.
