EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Associate in Applied Science in Air Conditioning Technology Gateway Community and Technical College A Proposal for Initiation of a New Degree Program A. Centrality to the Institution s Mission and Consistency with State s Goals Gateway Community and Technical College (GCTC) strives to provide high quality, affordable, accessible and inclusive postsecondary education and training resulting in a positive contribution to the economic vitality of the region and enhanced quality of life for all citizens. The objective of the Air Conditioning Technology program aligns with many components of the GCTC Mission Statement, Core Values and 2016-22 Strategic Plan as well as the objectives and strategies of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE). The Air Conditioning Technology program will raise the level of educational attainment in the Commonwealth and Greater Cincinnati (Ohio) by positioning GCTC within the comprehensive educational landscape of the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati region (GCTC Strategic Goal #1). As part of this goal, GCTC will meet the specific priority of strategically expanding and/or realigning innovative programs and services that uniquely position the college to meet the dynamic needs of the region. GCTC has received support from Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry representatives for the various stackable credentials currently offered in the Air Conditioning Technology program. The partnerships with regional businesses will be strengthened through expanded experiential learning relationships and advisory board partnerships for the new degree program. This program will develop innovative opportunities for flexible, affordable and personalized learning (GCTC Strategic Goal #2). Historically, populations with financial issues and debt often struggle to balance educational goals with personal finance issues. The certificates embedded in the Air Conditioning Technology degree are stackable. The Air Conditioning Technology program is a comprehensive, customizable, and fluid educational pathway that is relevant and responsive to the dynamic needs of the region (GCTC Strategic Goal #3). Specifically, it ensures programming that produces career-ready graduates that meet workforce needs, including both technical and soft skills. It also increases direct involvement of local employers to ensure relevancy and responsiveness to regional needs. Cooperative education hours are essential to the skill development of students in the program. As part of experiential learning, the Air Conditioning Technology program fills the need to enhance employability and career development for GCTC graduates. ii

The Air Conditioning Technology program addresses the Commonwealth s postsecondary education strategic agenda for 2016-21 in terms of student success and research, economic and community development. The Air Conditioning Technology program will increase manufacturing degree attainment and will help close the achievement gaps. Job attainment and job stability factors will enhance the lives of program graduates, their families, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky by increasing higher education attainment. The Air Conditioning Technology program will benefit the community at-large by providing trained and highly skilled workers to the region. The Air Conditioning Technology program will help meet the mission of KCTCS to improve the employability and quality of life of Kentucky citizens as the primary provider of college and workforce readiness, transfer education and workforce education and training. B. Program Quality and Student Success The Air Conditioning Technology degree will be supported by the Manufacturing and Engineering Technology Division at GCTC. An established curriculum is in place, and any modifications will be facilitated by the KCTCS Curriculum Review Committees, local faculty, and Advisory Committees. All courses within the curriculum will have a web-enhanced component which will facilitate technology-based academic support. The Air Conditioning Technology pathway will lead students to the completion of an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree. Course selection must result in the completion of required general education courses, technical core classes, and approved electives. Gateway will offer all of the courses needed for degree completion and most of the general education courses can be earned completely online. Dual credit partnerships will be further developed with area technology centers and high schools to facilitate seamless transition between high school and college manufacturing and engineering technologies pathways. C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication GCTC serves the northern Kentucky (including rural areas) and Greater Cincinnati (Ohio) Region. It is essential to have the proper education and training, credentials and competency skills to meet the demands of the contemporary manufacturing and engineering industry. The Northern Kentucky Local Workforce Area Occupation Outlook to 2024 ranks heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics as 10 th in the top 25 fastest growing occupations with an anticipated 35.71 percent change in estimated employment levels from 322 in 2014 to 437 in 2024 with an average wage estimate of $23.49 an hour. The Career One Stop projects that Cincinnati Middletown, OH-KY-IN MSA employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 25% iii

from 2014 employment levels of 7,270 to 9,070 by 2024 with 290 annual projected job openings. According to the current Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) mechanics and installers is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Commercial and residential building construction is expected to drive employment growth. The growing number of sophisticated climate-control systems is also expected to increase demand for qualified HVACR technicians. Repair and replacement of HVACR systems is a large part of what technicians do. The growing emphasis on energy efficiency and pollution reduction is likely to increase the demand for HVACR technicians as climate-control systems are retrofitted, upgraded, or replaced entirely. D. Cost and Funding of the Proposed Program GCTC currently has the resources needed to sustain this degree pathway. Qualified faculty are in place to provide the necessary advising and instruction for the current Air Conditioning Technology diploma and certificate programs. The additional courses necessary for the AAS degree are taught at the college as part of the current General Occupational/ Technical Studies (GOTS) degree program. E. Program Review and Assessment Program evaluation is an important component of the Air Conditioning Technology program. Evaluation of learning outcomes is incorporated in the annual planning and evaluation processes of all academic programs at GCTC. The learning outcomes associated with the degree and certificates in the Air Conditioning Technology will be directly assessed using written and hands-on assessments. GCTC will analyze and report on credentialing examination performance, programmatic retention and attrition, graduate satisfaction, employer satisfaction, and job (positive) placement. If the benchmarks are not achieved, the faculty and program coordinator will develop and document strategies to address the gap. These strategies are documented on the program s annual plan. The Annual Planning and Outcomes Assessment Process consist of two main components: the beginning of the year planning process and the end of year evaluation and identification of planned or implemented improvements. F. Conclusion The proposed degree is consistent with the strategic plans of GCTC, Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS), and CPE. The degree will assist in achieving diversity and student success goals. Furthermore, the program curriculum has already been iv

established and approved at other KCTCS institutions. Since there is student demand for the Air Conditioning Technology AAS degree, which can be offered with no additional investment of funds, Air Conditioning Technology is an optimal choice as an addition to Gateway s list of degrees. v

C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication 1. Provide justification and evidence to support the need and demand for this proposed program. Include any data on student demand; career opportunities at the regional, state, and national levels; and any changes or trends in the discipline(s) that necessitate a new program. a. Student demand: Explain how faculty and staff members systematically gathered data, studied the data, and estimated student demand for the program. Anecdotal evidence is not sufficient The Faculty for the Air Conditioning Technology program have two Advisory Team meetings a year to discuss industry needs. We also use Indeed.com and our Knowledge Management Team to acquire data for the HVAC Industry. b. Career opportunities: If the program is being proposed to meet employer demand, provide evidence of this within your area of geographic responsibility as well as the state and national levels. GCTC serves the northern Kentucky (including rural areas) and Greater Cincinnati (Ohio) Region. It is essential to have the proper education and training, credentials and competency skills to meet the demands of the contemporary manufacturing and engineering industry. The Northern Kentucky Local Workforce Area Occupation Outlook to 2024 ranks heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics as 10th in the top 25 fastest growing occupations with an anticipated 35.71 percent change in estimated employment levels from 322 in 2014 to 437 in 2024 with an average wage estimate of $23.49 an hour. The Career One Stop projects that Cincinnati Middletown, OH-KY-IN MSA employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 25% from 2014 employment levels of 7,270 to 9,070 by 2024 with 290 annual projected job openings. According to the current Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) mechanics and installers is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Commercial and residential building construction is expected to drive employment growth. The growing number of sophisticated climate-control systems is also expected to increase demand for qualified HVACR technicians. Repair and replacement of HVACR systems is a large part of what technicians do. The growing emphasis on energy efficiency and pollution reduction is likely to 18

increase the demand for HVACR technicians as climate-control systems are retrofitted, upgraded, or replaced entirely. c. Changes in discipline: If the program is being proposed to meet changes in the academic discipline, please outline those changes and explain why they necessitate the development of a new program. No changes needed. 2. Specify any distinctive qualities of the program The new AAS in Air Conditioning Technology will replace the existing GOTS Degree. This is the only AAS in Air Conditioning Technology in the Northern Kentucky region. 3. Do similar programs exist within KCTCS? Thirteen of the other KCTCS schools offer the diploma in HVAC while five offer the Associate of Applied Science degree in HVAC. The closest is 70 miles from Gateway. a. Does the proposed program differ from existing programs in terms of curriculum, focus, objectives, etc.? No. b. Does the proposed program serve a different student population (i.e. students in a different geographic area, non-traditional students) from existing programs? Yes. GCTC is the only college in Northern Kentucky that offers this program. Students would need to travel 70 miles to Bluegrass Community and Technical College to earn this degree if not for Gateway s program. c. Is access to existing programs limited? d. Is there excess demand for existing similar programs? Yes. The closest similar program is 70 miles away (Bluegrass CTC, Lexington). 4. Describe how the proposed program will articulate with related programs in the state. Describe the extent to which student transfer has been explored and coordinated with other institutions. Attach all draft articulation agreements related to this proposed program. There are five AAS Air Conditioning Technology programs among KCTCS colleges. Each program in KCTCS has a curriculum committee comprised of a faculty member from each of the colleges offering the program. The curriculum committee is charged 19

with the development, review and revision curriculum to be shared across all KCTCS colleges. KCTCS has developed policies for cooperative efforts between KCTCS colleges, such as the Policy on Collaboration Program Development (9/16/98, revised 12/5/03, 6/12/09, 6/15/12), which ensures that collaborative program development processes shall meet criteria specified by the accrediting bodies of the respective community and technical colleges and any required programmatic standards, and the Policy for Consortial Relationships and Contractual Agreements (Credit Courses or Programs) (5/27/99, revised 1/4/07, 11/20/09), which ensure those agreements. D. Cost and Funding 1. Estimate the level of new and existing resources that will be required to implement and sustain the program using the spreadsheet below. (See Appendix B KPPPS Cost and Funding Spreadsheet) E. Program Assessment a. Funding sources, by year of program b. Breakdown of budget expenses/requirements 1. Describe how each program-level student learning outcome will be assessed and how assessment results will be used to improve the program. The learning outcomes associated with the AAS in Air Conditioning Technology will be directly assessed using written and hands-on assessments. The instructor documents the student s technical competency and will use quizzes, tests, and presentations to assess the student s understanding of theory and safe practices. As the curriculum advances, problem-solving, critical thinking, and case study learning are introduced to encourage students to problem-solve and troubleshoot HVAC systems. Mid-term evaluation of each student s performance will also be conducted to determine areas of weakness and provide feedback using Starfish. At the end of the semester, the instructors, one of which is the program coordinator, will review students performance in relation to established goals. If the benchmarks are not achieved, the faculty and program coordinator will develop and document strategies to address the gap. These strategies are documented on the program s annual plan. The Annual Planning and Outcomes Assessment Process consist of two main components: the beginning of the year planning process and the end of year evaluation and identification of planned or implemented improvements. Indirect measures also monitor the quality of the program. Surveys are sent via Class Climate to measure teacher effectiveness. Additionally, graduates are queried at six months and one year after employment to assess their level of preparation for the workforce. Employers are queried at six months and one year following the employment of our graduates to determine their overall level of preparation. Finally, feedback garnered from the program s advisory committee further informs the assessment of the program. 20
