3.8 Change in Degree Requirements – Electrical Construction and Maintenance (Part-Time, Evening) A.O.S. Degree Program – submitted by Richard Porter
This proposal requests that the following courses be removed from the program: ECMN 151 Direct Current Theory and Magnetism Pt. I, ECMN 152 Direct Current Theory and Magnetism Pt. II, ECMN 153 Alternating Current Theory Pt. I, ECMN 154 Alternating Current Theory Pt. II, ECMN 161 Direct Current Applications Lab Pt. I, ECMN 162 Direct Current Applications Lab Pt. II, ECMN 163 Alternating Current Applications Lab Pt. I, ECMN 164 Alternating Current Applications Lab Pt. II, ECMN 180 Safety and Labor Relations Pt. I, and ECMN 181Safety and Labor Relations Pt.
