 | Instructional Area First Wave Program Program Review Resource/Needs Requests Prioritization from Division Council
Priorotization 3-25-13 | Organization | Budget Category | Category | Description | Related Goal or PR Section | Justification | Cost | Notes to CBAC
1 | Academic Support Center | Program Review Goal (PR) | Computer Software(CS) | Budget to purchase software licenses for basic skills math, ESL, English, reading, study skills. | Program [NAME], Operations | In 2012 many of the ASC computers will be upgraded to Windows 7. Our current basic skills software will not work with Windows 7. We need upgrades and/or to purchase new software. We have identified basic skills math, English, reading, and ESL software programs that will work with the new operating system. We need to purchase new software for math, as ASC currently has none. The center will essentially have no curriculum for students without these software upgrades and new software purchases. We need to keep our program current with 21st century technology. The IS 950: Academic Achievement noncredit course now can be offered through distance learning, so we need to purchase software that can also be delivered online. More and more software packages are only available as yearly online licenses. We need an ongoing budget to renew these licenses every year. | $35,000 (one time) $12,000 (yearly, ongoing funding) for licensing fees | Possible funding source:  [NAME], grants
2 | Chemistry | Program Review Goal (PR) | Equipment (E) | Two new balances for use in SCI 270, which serves Chem 1A (Gen Chem A) and Chem 1B (Gen Chem 1B). | Program [NAME]: Improve instructional technology in laboratory courses by integrating new laboratory activities AND Program Goal: Increase retention by 5% in Chem 1A/1B | Many of the labs require precision. Since we are moving toward micro-scale, the students won't see a deviation in their results if they don't have a high quality analytical balance. | 5000
3 | Computer Science & Info Tech | Program Review Goal (PR) | Computer Software(CS) | 40 license of VMWare and 40 license of MAC operating system for setting up a lab to teach iphone programming. iPhone development license. | Program Goal 3. | Need to set up a lab for teaching iphone programming. | 3000
4 | Work Experience | Program Review Goal (PR) | Computer Software(CS) | Development and implementation of online automated intake forms for Work Experience students (could be both computer hardware and software) | Program [NAME] | To streamline student intake and house student records, minimizing the need for staff to maintain vast student records | 1000 | Possible funding source:  VTEA-Perkins
5 | Work Experience | Program Review Goal (PR) | Computer Software(CS) | Development of online orientation for Work Experience students | Program goal | To cut down on personnel costs and provide convenience for students | 1000 | Possible funding source:  VTEA-Perkins
6 | Biological Sciences | Program Review Goal (PR) | Computer Hardware (CH) | Purchase 17 laptop computers for SCI 230. This will provide all three instructional labs with a complete set of computers. | PR Goal: Enhance instruction in laboratory courses by adapting labs to accommodate new modalities (e.g. laboratory simulation exercises). | Due to rising costs of supplies and stricter OSHA and hazardous waste regulations, we are integrating more computer simulation labs into our curriculum. Therefore, our current set of laptops is under high usage. There are often times when labs cannot be completed because competing labs are using them at the same time. Purchasing a complete set for our third lab will solve this usage problem. | 35000 | Possible funding in stages due to high cost
7 | Biological Sciences | Program Review Goal (PR) | Equipment (E) | Purchase 32 compound microscopes for SCI 220 to replace outdated and inoperable microscopes | PR Goal: Enhance instruction in laboratory courses by adapting labs to accommodate new modalities (e.g. laboratory simulation exercises). | The microscopes currently used in SCI 220 are the oldest in the department. They do not focus well, break often, and some parts cannot be replaced any more due to age. The courses that meet in this lab are heavily histology weighted (e.g. Anatomy) and thus require excellent microscopes in order to ensure the students are mastering their histology skills. | 45000 | Possible funding in stages due to high cost
8 | LVN to RN | Program Review Goal (PR) | Equipment (E) | New hospital equipment for the simulation lab | Program Goal: Introduce and integrate electronic medical health records and bar coded medication administration into the simulation lab clinical courses which will provide the students the opportunity to gain expertise by using industry-appropriate equipment to demonstrate safe quality patient-centered healthcare practice | To purchase new equipment to support the student learning in the simulation lab such as chest tube set-up, air regulator for ventilator, central venous catheters) | 1500
9 | Music | Program Review Goal (PR) | Equipment (E) | -Recording studio equipment microphones, preamps, monitor speakers, mixing console, cables | Offer courses/certificates, degrees in Digital Music that support ?Non-traditional? music students. Discuss and plan new facilities and equipment to support these programs. | -The program currently has very little equipment that can be used by students to gain experience in Digital Music Production. Students must have access to relevant equipment to have a meaningful learning experience. -The addition of a "working" recording facility opens up the possibility of earning income for the department though its rental by approved outside music contractors. -If not funded, the college will likely lose enrollment to other community colleges and private institutions who offer similar programs. | Costs can vary wildly depending on quality of equipment. Estimates that range from minimum to moderately appointed are: $12k to $30k+ | For items not on the equipment list for Gillmor Center
10 | Allied Health | Program Review Goal (PR) | Computer Software(CS) | Updated video of 15 basic skills for the Nursing Assistant, current videos are 1999. | Updated curriculum requires updated DVD to enhance student learning. | Outdated equipment shown on videos are not used. Communication and approach to patient care has changed, the old videos are no longer appropriate to show and view. | 3000 | Possible funding source:  VTEA-Perkins, grants
11 | Accounting | Program Review Goal (PR) | Computer Software(CS) | Articulate or similar presentation software that allows me to provide multimedia presentations for online orientations and explanations/animations of difficult concepts for online and face-to-face students. | Offer additional courses online. | Online students are expecting online orientations in additiona to face-to-face orientations. These online orientations often are the deciding factor in whether a student takes a course. This software will enable the Accounting Department to remain competitive with other Bay Area colleges (Foothill) in the area of online course offerings. | 500
Not Ranked | Child Development Center | Program Review Goal (PR) | Facilities (F) | Security Doors for hallway entrances in the infant and toddler building (Main CDC-older building). |  | There is an excellent lock down security door system in the new Preschool CDC building the door from the lobby to the classrooms has a card/key pad entry system that prevents access from unauthorized individuals. It also has a lock down mechanism that locks all of the doors in the building, exterior and the classroom doors with the push of one button. This is critical for the security of the children. In the event of a shooter on campus or a stranger attempting to abduct children, these doors will provide a necessary layer of security to prevent serious incidents that could occur. | We have attempted to get a quote for the doors, which would include building frames for the doors and the hardware for the key pad/card key access, for the past year and a half. We have not received a quote from facilities yet. | DC recognizes this may be important, however not a PR request; redirecting for immediate review to Office of Admin Services; District Facilities; Fac-Safety Cmt
