(AY 2019-2020)

Program Student Learning Outcomes(PSLOS)

At the completion of Carpentry Program the student will be able to:

Identify safety and occupational health requirements in the carpentry trade.
Use competently specified hand and power tools.
Perform basic hand skills in constructing projects to a given specifications.
Interpret construction information from blueprint drawings.
Participate in the construction industry.

PSLO Assessment Report Summary

What we looked at:

The Carpentry certificate assessment focused on (PSLO #2) the use of hand and power tools and (PSLO #4) familiarizing and improving their hand skills in blueprint drawings. Listed below are the results for each of the PSLOs.

What we found:

The results of the written and practical exams showed that 4 (0 female; 4 males) out of 5 students (80%) got a "C" or better in using carpentry tools competently.
The results of the written and practical exams showed that 4 (0 female; 4 males) out of 5 students (80%) got a "C" or better in reading construction drawings.

What we are planning to work on:

Continue to provide up-to-date hands-on practices for hand tools and power tools so students will be competent when finishing from this program.
Continue provide the latest version of construction drawings for students to be familiarized themselves with before going into the real world of work.

Recommendations for students:

Students must follow the Carpentry program suggested schedule in the COM-FSM General Catalog in order to complete their study in a timely matter.
Students enrolled in this program as their major of study must remain in it until they graduate with a certificate of achievement.
Students must be pro-active in listening and asking questions during lecture and lab periods so they can gain and improve their knowledge and skills.

Program Goals

Program goals are broad statements concerning knowledge, skills, or values that the faculty members expect the graduating students to achieve.

A. Program Goal

Its primary purpose is to provide students with marketable entry-level skills in the construction industry or any related field/career. It is designed to qualify students to take external licensure, vendor-based, or skill standards examinations in the field. If standardized external exams are not available in the field of study, the program prepares students at skill levels expected of employees in an occupation found in the local economy.

Program Learning Outcomes

1. Identify safety and occupational health requirements in the Carpentry trade.

2. Use competently specified hand and power tools.

3. Perform basic hand skills in constructing projects to given specifications.

4. Interpret construction information from blue print drawings.

5. Participate in the construction industry.

Program History

This section describes the history of the program. This includes the date and reason of implementation, significant milestones in the development of the program, and significant current activities.

B. Program History

The program was created by recommendations of Pohnpei Campus Advisory Council to offer a certificate of achievement (COA) in carpentry to train local students to acquire skills in constructing cabinets, installing sub-floor, erecting walls, constructing roofing and interior finishing which are needed in the community.

Milestones:

2007—The program students were actively involved in the first Technology and Trade Exhibit event of the college.

2011—Students were actively involved in various activities such as building tables, benches, book selves, picture/map frames, and etc. for the college as well as the local community.

2012—Carpentry Instructor participated and completed a training in “arts envoy project” sponsored by the US Embassy.

2012—Students constructed three outdoor picnic benches for Pohnpei Campus.

2013—Students were involved actively in a project with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the coordinator for the USAID-FEMA Disaster Mitigation, Response, and Reconstruction Program. They build a sample typhoon-resistant frame structure to be used on the outer islands.

2013—Carpentry Instructor attended and completed an intensive three-Saturdays training in “heavy equipment operator” conducted by Pohnpei Transportation Authority (PTA) senior operator.

2013—Students established their program student club.

2014—Students poured concrete footing for the typhoon-resistant frame structure to prevent the 4x4 wooden posts from termites attack.

2014—Students constructed a server room in the woodshop. They laid 4” Concrete Hollow Blocks for the partition/wall separating the server room from the static machines area.

2016—Students erected 2” metal pipes along the main road and in front of the mechanic and wood shops for future fence posts.

2016—Established Advisory Council for the program.
