4.1 Deactivation of Plant Utilities Technology A.A.S. Degree Program – submitted by Rich Porter
Proposal requests the deactivation of this program due to low enrollment.
4.2 Change in Degree Requirements for Automotive Technical Services – Chrysler A.O.S. Degree Program – submitted by Anthony Kossmann
Remove the following courses: AUCP 120 Automotive Electrical Systems & Components, AUCP 220 Integral Frame and Suspension Components, AUTO 160 Industrial Relations, and ENGL 110 Technical Communications. Add the following courses: AUTO 125 Automotive Electricity, AUTO 145 Passenger Car Chassis I, AUTO 235 Automotive Electronics, AUTO 245 Passenger Car Chassis II, and ENGL 101 English Composition I.

4.4 EMSP 230 Internship for the Paramedic – change in contact hours, credit hours, title, course description, prerequisite and prerequisite or corequisite – submitted by Deborah Kufs
EMSP 230 was originally designed to provide an opportunity for students to perform skills and assessments in the real life setting of the field environment. Assessment of student learning and competency in the internship was dependent upon a cadre of preceptors assigned by the hoisting agencies. Modern manikins, computerized simulations and the availability of simulation labs with programmed patients duplicate the field environment. The faculty believes the proposed changes will offer greater control over the course; allow for timely remediation; and best prepare students for state and national certification.
4.5 EMSP 240 Internship, Final Evaluation Phase – 25% or more change in course content, change in course description and prerequisite – submitted by Deborah Kufs.
Change in completion requirements from successful leadership of forty combined advanced and basic ambulance calls to successful leadership of seventeen of the last twenty advanced EMS responses plus successful completion of an oral board exam in front of the Medical director or designee. Leadership in basic calls will have been assessed during EMSP 230 in simulation.
4.6 Change in Degree Requirements and total credits required for the Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic Certificate – submitted by Deborah Kufs
This proposal sees to increase the grade requirements to a C or better for BIOL 130 Concepts in Anatomy and Physiology and increase the total credits required from 41 to 43 with the increase in credits in required course EMSP 230 from two to four credits.
4.7 Change in Degree Requirements and total credits for the Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic A.A. S. Degree Program – submitted by Deborah Kufs.
This proposal sees to increase the grade requirements to a C or better for BIOL 130 Concepts in Anatomy and Physiology and increase the total credits required from 68 to 70 with the increase in credits in required course EMSP 230 from two to four credits.
