16. Benchmarks Degrees and certificates Overall success rate
Design Technology AA degree and Certificate and Engineering Technology AS degree and Certificate
The Programs have awarded 47 Degrees and 43 Certificates in the past 5 years.
Overall success rate
Design Technology Success rate (10% above!!!) is just under 80% while the ARC Overall success rate is just under 70%.

17. Benchmarks continued: Perkins Core Indicators of Performance
Core 1 (Skill Attainment) is well above Perkins performance goals. The program is within 10% of meeting the other five goals (based on the Perkins report by the California Community College Chancellor’s Office.) The established bench mark is a 89% standard for each core. Who and what established the criteria ? ….The great Oz?)
Program Faculty have been awarded release time to improve students success as measured by the Perkins core indicators.

18. Program -- Challenges Reduced funding for the department and area.
Reduction of FTE and courses
Meeting industry needs – Changes are addressed on a semester basis. Curriculum process is to slow/time consuming to respond technology changes.
Certificate and degree automation/degree audit/checker
Student services /employment management system for technical areas(Perkins)
Specialized full time I.T. support (complex software's).
Specialized career counseling support for technical areas.
Time allocations for faculty administration: Technical integration for E.M.P. /S.L.O. /S.L.O. mapping/VETA-Perkins/Program Review/ Advisory coordination/Purchasing management.

19. Planning Implications
*  Maintain a comprehensive technically based Design and Engineering Technology curriculum with a goal of preparing students for professional employment.
* Articulation 1 - Maintain a set of articulated-level Design Technology courses to allow high school students easy access to ARC.
* Articulation 2 - Maintain a comprehensive technically based Design and Engineering Technology curriculum with a goal of preparing students for transfer to four-year institutions.
* Maintain state-of-art CAD, Modeling, and design software’s with appropriate hardware/ related equipment. Continue to enhance classroom and studio facilities to provide students with a professional learning environment. Continue master planning meetings with architects for year 2012(?) facility modernization.
Continue development of our Adjunct pool of practicing professionals.
Specialized I.T. and counseling support for technical areas.
Resources required: Computers, peripherals, software upgrades, facilities.
