The Industrial Systems Technology Working Committee, in collaboration with the Industrial Systems TechnologyState Technical Committee, recommends the revisions to standards stated in the attached Industrial Systems Technology Probe Report.
Recommended Action – DTAE Staff:
Recommend the proposed revisions.
Recommended Action –VPI Council:
Recommend the proposed revisions.
Recommended Action –Presidents Council:
Recommend proposed revisions with the following clarification: As is appropriate with the substitution of MAT 101 for MAT 103, the admission requirements for the Industrial Mechanical Systems diploma program (formerly Mechanical Control Systems) shall no longer require the Elementary Algebra ASSET Test.
Board Approved Action:
Approved revisions as proposed by the Presidents Council, January 13, 2005

Standards Revision Project

An Industry-Driven Report of Standardized Programs

In

Georgia Technical Colleges

Industrial Systems Technology

Probe Report

September 2004

Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education

Facilitator(s):

David Gibson

Quality Improvement Initiative
The program standards and guides materials, which form the basis for instruction in Georgia’s technical colleges, are developed to support industry driven needs. Faculty and local program advisory committees review programs, each year, to ensure the latest technology and employment needs are addressed for the program.
Through the Instructional Faculty Consortium Committee (IFCC) process, programs are reviewed and, if needed, recommendations are made to update competencies found in the program. Given the accelerating changes in technology and the workplace, a major systematic updating of all standardized programs in the technical colleges, with business and industry involvements, is needed.
A joint IFCC Executive Board and State Technical Committee (STC) meeting was held in February/ 2004 to examine the Industrial Systems Technologyprograms A working committee composed of instructors and state technical committee members met in February/ 2004 to discuss and respond to recommendations made by the IFCC Executive Board and STC members.
Currently, the Probe process is being initiated for program revisions recommended by theWorking Committee. The following sections are included in this Probe document:
  • a listing of the IFCC Executive Board
  • a listing of the State Technical Committee members
  • a list of the Working Committee members and
  • recommendations made by the IFCC Executive Board and STC
The recommended changes/revisions made in this document apply to the Industrial Systems Technologyprograms. The deleted items are reflected with a double strikethrough while new material is italic boldfaced. Course number and course title changes are recommended to more accurately describe the course level and content of the affected courses and enhance transferability.
The appropriate sections from the program standards are included, showing recommended revisions, and a revised curriculum sequence illustrates the impact of revisions on scheduling.
