I.a Discussion of Findings

The above program evaluation has resulted in the following findings:

1.Table 1 shows the technical and general education requirements for certificate and degree students. This shows that gen ed. courses must meet pre-requisite courses before they can take their required courses which makes the students stays longer in their academic classes.

2.Table 2 and 3 course enrolment rate shows an increase of freshmen enrolling in the certificate level, class size is not suitable to accommodate 20 or more students in one class or group. This could lead to overcrowding in the classroom and workshop that the instructor can no longer attend to the individual needs of the students.

3.Student satisfaction rate for course instructor shows a high degree of satisfaction rate of the students taking the courses as identified in this program review.

3.Employment data must be collected by IRPO in order for the college to determine the employability of our students based on the real and present needs of the community.

4.Most of the program courses are not clearly stated in SLO format.

5.Students exiting certificate level normally pursues to degree course to further their knowledge and skills in electrical; this showed a limited accomplished competency that the students learn to get them an employable job.

 

I.b Recommendations

In congruence to some findings in this program review, the following are suggested recommendations in improving the quality of education we provide for our clients (students) for them to become competitive.

1.General Academic courses required for vocational students like math, science and English can just directly taken as per required in their program. This will avoid prolonging the time spent by the students in repeating those classes and causing them to hold some classes in their technical and major courses.

2.To accommodate increasing number of freshmen taking our courses, and focusing to the individual learning needs of the student, classes can be split into groups or section to create good environment for learning.

3.Start making a survey through the office of IRPO in the community to track the employability of our graduates not only electrical programs but all programs of the division so we can check and balance the effectiveness of our programs.

4.Modify/Revise some courses into SLO format to become more achievable.

5.Modify/Revise course program and add courses that provides needed knowledge and skills required in their field such as;

a.combining discrete devices course to make it into one (3 credit) course

b.combine refrigeration course into one course for electrical students.

b.creating small appliance repair course that enhances the students skills in servicing and maintenance.

c.updating rotating machinery course into a more productive course that deals with AC motors rewinding and troubleshooting rather than DC motors.

d.create solar energy course to promote the creation of green collar jobs.

e.increase number of lab hours for electrical wiring so students have more time to gain skills in wiring installation.

f.provide industry immersion so students can apply learned skills in the classroom settings to an actual worksite.
