This program is closely modeled upon the successful program at Bellevue Community College. The details of the program are adapted to local conditions. The degree/certificate programs will be introduced during the fall semester. Curriculum development is under way for the new courses required for this program. Some new courses will be pilot tested during the summer term. Many of the courses for this new program were developed for the network administration program. Departure of the Information Technology Department Head at CSC The head of the Information Technology (IT) department submitted his resignation last month. This will place a premium on the cooperation and coordination department faculty as a replacement is sought. A national search will be undertaken, since there will be too few candidates available locally to compose a viable applicant pool. We expect to recruit a new department head within the coming six months. Planning for the Information Technology (IT) careers workshops CSC intends to offer another round of IT Careers workshops designed especially for high school sophomores and juniors. As was the case last year, the workshops will be offered via video teleconference and local activities. The workshops will feature a variety of guest speakers talking about careers in IT accompanied by learning activities to promote student confidence in their ability to learn IT skills. One potential problem is the possible removal of the video teleconference equipment housed at the community center. This equipment is owned and maintained by a local vendor. CSC plans to replace the video teleconferencing equipment with its own in the near future. PROGRESS TOWARD OBJECTIVES IT curriculum development One primary activity for the Connections project is extensive curriculum development. Some of our computer technology programs are outdated, and there was pressure from local industry to update our programs and offer degrees that met their job requirements. The Connections grant funding enabled CSC to hire faculty to develop new programs and courses. The result has been program development beyond the original scope of network administration. Two new IT-related programs that have been approved: Network Administration and Technical Support. Both of these programs are scheduled to officially come on-line for Spring In addition to these two programs, CSC has also designed two more programs: Web Technologies and Digital Media Arts. Two people have been hired to hash out the details of these programs, and an advisory committee has met several times to discuss the direction of these new degrees. These new programs should be introduced next year. Outreach to Business and Industry We have made excellent progress in forging relationships with local businesses and government agencies. Some of our computer technology programs are outdated, and there was pressure from local industry to update our programs and offer degrees that met their job requirements.

The result has been program development beyond the original scope of network These ties have been very valuable. Some of our computer technology programs are outdated, and there was pressure from local industry to update our programs and offer degrees that met their job requirements. Workforce Development  In the area of workforce development, CSC has created programs that definitely meet the needs of local business and the major employers in our region.

BEST PRACTICES Payment for Services Based upon experience, the following best practices have become evident: Pay faculty for taking certification courses and tests. The opportunity to receive payment for a certification exam will often be enough to entice the teacher to take it. Pay teachers extra when they teach a course for the first time. In return, the teacher should provide an updated syllabus at the end of the semester, along with a list of things that worked and didn’t work, and an evaluation of the textbook. Pay teachers to design the classroom in which a technical course will be taught. This should include a list of required hardware, furnishings, and a floor plan. Course Development Practices Several best practices have emerged in the area of developing new curriculum. Meet with faculty from various disciplines to get their input on general education courses. Non-technical courses are an important part of any information technology program. Include general education requirements that can transfer easily to other four-year colleges. This makes it easier for students to transfer if they must relocate for a new job. Get frequent input from local employers about the training needs of their employees that relate to proposed information technology programs. Include the college advisor staff at several points in the course development process (especially at the end). They should always be included in the discussion of the newest programs on which they will be advising students. The excellent cooperation of the Acme Trading Company The Acme Trading Company was one of the industry partners of our Connections grant proposal. Acme has continued to provide excellent support to CSC on a variety of fronts. For example, Acme has expanded its Network Administration scholarship/internship program to accommodate students from the newly established degree programs at CSC. Acme had already introduced an internship and scholarship program for students from several other degree programs on our campus and elsewhere. Acme has also continued to fund summer internships for students and faculty, and anticipates the continuation of this program into the foreseeable future. This program offers paid internships to one faculty member and two students from the college.     End of Year Report Columbia State College Connections Grant Page  PAGE 1 I think that we need to add more details under this topic. This is a vital aspect of the project.
