Program Student Learning Outcomes Assessment
(AY 2013-2014)

Program Student Learning Outcomes(PSLOS)

At the completion of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Program the student will be able to:

  1. Identify safety and occupational health requirements in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.
  2. Use specified hand and power tools for refrigeration and air conditioning.
  3. Perform basic hand skills in maintaining refrigeration and air conditioning systems to a given specifications.
  4. Read and interpret basic electrical drawing & symbols related to refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
  5. Perform basic troubleshooting and repair to residential air conditioning units and refrigerators.
  6. Participate in the refrigeration and air conditioning profession.

PSLO Assessment Report Summary

What we looked at:

The Refrigeration and Air Conditioning certificate assessment focused on basic troubleshooting and repair of residential air conditioning units & refrigerators (PSLO5) and participate in the refrigeration and air conditioning profession (PSLO6). Listed below are the results for each of the PSLOs.

What we found:

  • 15 out of 15 students or 100% got a "C" or better as their grade when given a defective room air conditioner, refrigerator, recovery machine, vacuum pump, system analyzer and supplies, the students will diagnose the defects and repair it with good workmanship.
  • 7 out of 9 students or 78% got a "C" or better as their grade when given a defective domestic refrigeration system, hand tools and ammeter, the student will test and replace defective electrical components with proper specifications.
  • 2 out of 4 students or 50% got a grade of "C" or better as their grade when given a defective split type air conditioning unit, manifold gauge, ammeter and tools, the students will replace defective mechanical and electrical parts of the system following the manufacturers specifications.
  • 15 out of 15 students or 100% got a "C" or better as their grade when they were grouped by two’s and assigned to perform refrigeration and air conditioning unit servicing into the campus facilities and in the community with confidence.

What we are planning to work on:

  • To teach basic troubleshooting and repair of residential air conditioning system and refrigerators and participate in the refrigeration and air conditioning profession effectively, we need to have modern instructional materials, equipment, instrument, and hand tools for refrigeration and air conditioning to cope-up with the rapid changes in the trade due to the implementation of the Montreal Protocol by the United Nation Environment Protection (UNEP). Montreal Protocol is an international treaty that aims to protect our mother earth from the damaging effect of Ozone layer depletion and global warming phenomenon cause by the CFC gasses used in the industry.
  • Maintain the strong collaboration between the Office of Environment and Emergency Management (OEEM) of the national government and the college by following the MOU signed by both parties.
  • All students in this program should be an active member of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Students Club (RACSC) to promote awareness in the trade.
  • The existing Pohnpei State refrigeration technicians association shall recognize the RAC students club.

Recommendations for students:

  • To increase student success in refrigeration program, they must finish their general education courses requirement before taking major refrigeration technical courses.
  • The students shall attend and actively participate in all FSM-RAC association projects and activities.
  • Refrigeration and Air Conditioning curriculum must be modified as soon as possible to produce a globally competitive worker in the field.
