113 <br /> <br /> <br /> It is still pending approval by the state. <br /> Also a survey to determine the Higher Education needs of the East Texas Region, <br /> conducted at the request of Senator Ratliff by NCHEMS Management Services, Inc. of <br /> Boulder, Colorado, indicated a need for multi-craft maintenance mechanics. The NCHEMS <br />-- report is enclosed and the need is indicated on page 49. <br /> A follow-up letter from NCHEMS to Dr. Carl Nelson, president at Texarkana <br /> College, indicates local needs within the Northeast Texas Region. You will notice on page <br /> 2 of that letter that electrical and mecchanical technology is a specific need identdied in the <br /> Paris- Mt. Pleasant area. <br /> Industries such as Kimberly Clark and Campbell Soup indicate that they must hire <br /> people from outside the region to fill jobs requiring electro-mechanical skills. The seven (7) <br /> industries participating in the survey indicated a current need for approximately 20 electro- <br /> mechanical technicians per year. This need is reflected in the advisory committee minutes <br /> and the letters of support attached to this application. <br /> <br /> Existing Programs: There are no existing programs of this type in the Paris Junior College <br /> service area. Paris Junior College currently offers Electronics and Computer Aided <br /> Manufacturing/Machine Shop. Elements of these programs will be incorporated into <br /> Electro-mechanical Teclmology. The Computer Aided Manufacturing/Machine Shop <br /> prograrm which currently graduates fewer than nine people within a three year period thus <br /> failing to meet the required performance measure will be revised and/or merged into <br /> Electro-mechanical Technology. <br /> <br /> Expected Enrollment: Paris Junior College projects an initial enrollment of 30 students with <br /> a projected annual graduation rate of 15 students. This number should meet the demands <br />-- of industry without creating an oversupply. Enrollment may increase somewhat when the <br /> program is converted to tech-prep. <br /> <br /> ELECTRO-MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY <br /> PROPOSED PROGRAM COMPETENCIES <br /> <br /> ELNT 1400 - Circuit Analysis <br /> <br /> Course Competencies: Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to: <br /> <br /> * Use the laws and theory needed to analyze the basic electronic circuits used <br /> in the electronics field. <br /> <br /> * Construct the basic circuits and then analyze their actions. <br /> <br /> * Troubleshoot basic electronic circuits. <br /> <br /> * Exhibit characteristics sought by employers objectivity, honesty, and <br /> dependability. <br /> <br /> ELNT 1405 - Introduction to Digital Electronics I <br /> <br /> <br />
