The purpose of the meeting today was to look at the draft courses entered into the database for Motorsports based on the suggestions from the group's conference call the week before to see what other edits or changes might be needed.

/Hughes/Alford
Discussion / Bud Hughes and James Alford Jr. spent the reminder of the morning reviewing the draft courses entered into the database as well as two alternate courses South Georgia Tech wanted to add to the existing curriculum. The majority of the draft information was fine. Bud suggested that there could be a need to create a choice of 3-4 different internship courses with more specific competencies that currently exist in the two draft courses. Adrienne and James agreed. Bud also wanted a little more time to develop new outcomes for some of the chassis competencies that had been added. Both schools agreed to develop a list of resources to add to the courses.Conclusions
