Type of Action New Course Course not previously offered. 1. Catalog Prefix and Number*: IET Course Title: Welding and Fabrication Pilot Course Information: Are you requesting pilot status only at this time? Yes Implementation Date? Are you requesting pilot status in addition to regular approval process? Yes Implementation date? July 1 Year? 2012 Has this course been previously approved as pilot status Yes 3. Justification for requested action. This course is in response to industry s request for a standardized curriculum based on industry skills and competencies. The curriculum was also developed to meet the demand for open entry, learn anytime availability of course content. BCTC, in partnership with Toyota, has developed a curriculum that will meet the needs of all manufacturing but specifically the automotive industry. This curriculum will be part of the AMTEC initiative. The Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC), a consortium of community colleges and employers, is an industry-led partnership to develop a standardized curriculum based on industry skills and competencies. AMTEC found that the various automakers had common needs and realized that an industry wide curriculum could be developed to meet those needs (Parker 2011). Currently, AMTEC consists of 30 community colleges and 34 employers and has expanded to 12 states (Lamos et al. 2010), with colleges and their local auto plants joining as partners. KCTCS remains the fiscal agent for AMTEC. AMTEC was one of the first joint training endeavors across competing auto companies. Employers, including Toyota, Ford, General Motors, BMW, and others, play an active role in developing curriculum to serve their various needs, ranging from profiling employees skills and knowledge, to identifying common workplace tasks, to assessing gaps between industry-required skills and skills taught in existing curricula (Lamos et al. 2010). 4.

If yes, have they been involved in the development of this course? Yes Yes N/A 9. Is this course duplicative or similar to other courses offered by KCTCS? Yes If yes, Justification: Similar to welding courses, but developed in partnership with Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC) National Center of Excellence in Advanced Automotive Manufacturing. This course is in response to industry s request for a standardized curriculum based on industry skills and competencies. This course addresses gaps between automotive industry required skills and the skills taught in existing courses. The course was also developed to meet the demand for open entry, learn anytime availability of course content. 10. Credit / Contact : 10a. Semester Credit : Minimum 4 Maximum 4 10b.

Implementation Term (Course scheduled to begin, ex. Fall 2012): Summer Proposed Course Description (Course description as it will appear in the catalog. Begin each statement with a verb.): Introduces the power sources used in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW), along with equipment and filler metals used to produce a welded joint. Welding principles will be introduced along with the metallurgy of steel and welding. Introduces shielded metal arc welding safety and shielded metal arc welding processes including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welding techniques. Provides knowledge of theory, safety practices, equipment and techniques required for gas metal arc welding including different transfer methods and position welding. Introduces oxy-fuel welding and cutting, including safety, setup and maintenance of oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. Techniques taught in this course include cutting, brazing, and welding.
