Approval of minutes from last meeting was not mentioned. Table for next  meeting.

New Business:

The following curriculum forms were presented to the committee:

Business Technology

1. Medical Office Administration AAS program is to replace the General Education Elective with Art/Humanities/Social Science Elective in the 4^th semester.
2. Accounting Information Systems AAS program is to replace COM111-Speech with Art/Humanities/Social Science Elective in the 3^rd semester.
3. Business Administration AAS program is to replace COM111-Speech with Art/Humanities/Social Science elective in the 3^rd semester.

All three (3) of the above Business Technology changes will bring the programs into compliance with the recent change by MCCS.

Arts & Sciences

1. A new course Electrical Math-MAT1XX-4 credit course was presented. This course replaces MAT117-Electrical Mathematics and MAT127-Electrical Mathematics II. The course substitute is MAT151-College Algebra & Trig. The combination of the MAT117 and MAT127 curriculum aligns the course better with the relative trade curriculum.
2. A new course Reading and Writing Fundamentals-ENG0XX-4 credit course was presented. This course replaces ENG009-Reading Fundamentals and ENG012-Developmental Writing. Student must have a grade of C or better.

Trade & Tech

1. WEI133-Electric  Welding – add pre-requisites-WEI111-Oxyacetylene Welding or WEI113-Thin Metals Welding or WEI123-Oxyacetylene Electric Welding
2. A new course Wind Turbine Mechanical Systems - WPT21X-3 credit course with 2 lecture hours and 3 lab hours. Prerequisites for this class are: WPT113-Safety Fundamentals for Wind Techs., WPT115-Concepts or Wind Power Tech and PHY150-Physics. Presently in the catalog 2010-2012 it is showing WPT223-2 class hours and 3 lab hours but the lab hours were in error.
3. A new course Introduction to Wind Power Industry-WPT1XX-2 credit course with 1 lecture hour and 2 lab hours. This course replaces WPT123-Residential Wind Technology. No prerequisites but WPT123 can serve as a substitute.
4. The proposed revisions to the Computer Electronics program:

·         Dropping MAT117 & MAT127-Electrical Mathematics I and II. Replace it with MAT1XX-Electrical Mathematics as a combined 4 credit course.

·         Add the additional Art/Humanities/Social Science elective so it is in compliance with the recent change by the MCCS.

·         MAT1XX-Elecrical Math can be substituted by MAT117 and MAT127 in the following programs: Computer Electronics, Electrical Construction and Wind Power Technology.

5. The proposed revisions to the Electrical Construction & Maintenance program:

·         Drop MAT117 & MAT127-Electrical Mathematics I & II as a combined 4 credit course

·         Add the additional Art/Humanities/Social Science elective so it is in compliance with the recent change by the MCCS.

6. The proposed revisions to the Wind Power Technology program:

·         Drop WPT123-Residential Wind Technology  and add the new course WPT1XX-Introduction to Wind Power Technology

·         Drop MAT117 & MAT127-Electrical Mathematics I and II and add new course MAT1XX-Electrical Math as a 4 credit course.

·         Add one (1) Art/Humanities/Social Science elective

·         Move Physics to the 2^nd semester

·         Drop DIB113-Digital Basics and Drop ELC116-National Electrical Code for Industry and replace it with ELC110-National Electrical Code to 2^nd semester. ELC116 can be substituted for ELC110.

Meeting was adjourned. The next scheduled Curriculum Committee meeting is February 15 at 10 am in Martin 213-2 classroom.
