SCANS Skills and Competencies Beginning in the late 1980 s, the U.S. Department of Labor Secretary s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) conducted extensive research and interviews with business owners, union leaders, supervisors, and laborers in a wide variety of work settings to determine what knowledge workers needed in order to perform well on a job. In 1991 the Commission announced its findings in What Work Requires in Schools. In its research, the Commission determined that workplace know-how consists of two elements: foundation skills and workplace competencies. The three-part foundation skills and five-part workplace competences are further defined in the SCANS attachment. Comment [RBJ3]: Wrong scans statement. Course Outline A. Welcome to College: 1.

Grade Scale Comment [RBJ5]: No header? 100-89.5 A 89.4-79.5 B 79.4-69.5 C 69.4-59.5 D 59.4-00.0 F Course Evaluation Final grades will be calculated according to the following criteria: (Final CAD drawings) 1. Drawings covering items C-H = 95% 2. Final = 5% Comment [RBJ6]: Again.why all the space. Course Requirements 1. Making of sketches of items C-H (outline) 2. Making of final CAD drawings on items C-H. (outline) Course Policies 1. No food or drink allowed in class. 2. Cell phone and beepers turned off. 3. No children allowed in class. 4. No drawings will be made up unless teacher gives permission. 5. A 0 will be given on missed drawings and will not be dropped. 6. Two absences are allowed. (2 tartys = 1 absence) 7. If a student exceeds absences they may be given an F in the class. 8. If you wish to drop a course, the student is responsible for initiating and completing the drop process. If you stop coming to class and fail to drop the course, you will earn an F in the course. 3
