Developers / Original competency prompts from (a) Year 1 DACUM discussions with stakeholders and (b) Quarterly meeting in Marinette outcome prompts>then to Bender Shipbuilding and Repair for discussion and revision>then to Bollinger Shipbuilding and Repair for further streamlining>then to Marinette Marine for this version of the course outline>Murray and Associates>Art Anderson and Associates
Revised By / Kim Vosicky - WIDS with Art Anderson and Associates SMEs
Revised Date / 10/8/2008
Revision History / Art Anderson and Associates SMEs including: Larry Elliott, Dan Looney, Val Parker and Michelle DeGroot - call this a beginning level course - but should be divided into two courses - HVAC and Piping
