Dear Professional:
moostavffulcounot150Metnetraay
\Pr
Brookhaven College of the Dallas County Community District is conducting a needssurvey to determine the feasibility of developing two new "Environmental" curriculaby the 1995 spring semester. The programs will include both a two-year AssociateDegree in Applied Science and a one-year Certificate of Completion Program. Personstrained in either of these technical disciplines will have the essential skills andknowledge to work in rapidly expanding environmental career fields as EnvironmentalTechnicians.
Our research indicates that career opportunities within environmental technology willonly continue to expand. In September, 1989, the Texas Innovation InformationNetwork System (TIINS) identified "Environmental Laboratory Technician" as anemerging occupation with a projected need of 51 - 100 jobs in 1995. However, in alater study, the 1993, the Quality Work Force Council for North Central Texas(INTERLINK) projected 201 to 5000 jobs by 2000. The Environmental ProtectionAgency estimated that the United States needed 100,000 professionals to manage thenation's hazardous waste materials problems, but at the time of the article, only 50,000such professionals were available. (Dallas Times Herald, July 1991) According toTexas Business Today, February 1993, at the "Federal level alone, more than 20 majorenvironmental acts and dozens of executive orders and rulings now affect Texascompanies." A review of the data strongly suggests that there is a need for programsthat will produce qualified professionals in environmental technology.
However, our exploration will be incomplete without your assistance. For this reason,Brookhaven College seeks your help and asks that you to take a few moments tocomplete the enclosed questionnaire. Your participation in this survey is veryimportant. Please respond by Monday, May 2nd using the enclosed self-addressedenvelope or FAX the three pages of the survey to Linda Lee (FAX # 214-620-4897).A fax cover page will not be needed.
It is our goal to complete this needs study/questionnaire and analysis during May1994. If the response from you and others continues to be as positive as is anticipated,Brookhaven College will petition the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board forapproval to offer a new technical occupation program in Environmental Technology.Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 214-620-4851.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Linda LeeDirector, Instructional Development

INSTRUCTIONS
There are three categories in which to dusify each task: priority of task, frequency oftask performance, and skill expectations for newly hired tedmicians.Clauffications within each category are discussed below:
PRIORITY OF TASK: one way to appraise task priority is by asking yoursel4 "Whatwould be the result of omitting this task during performance of this duty?"
For example, if an essential task is omitted, no further activity is possible in theperformance of that duty.
Omission of a my important task would not halt activity but information subsequentlyobtained would not be considered reliable.
Omission of a moderately &portant task would not halt activity but would cause carefulinspection of any information subsequently obtained.
Omission of an Important task would not halt activity nor effect reliability of subsequentinformation on a one-time basis; however, frequent omissionwould causeinformation obtained from subsequent performance of that duty to deteriorate in
quaHty.Omission of a not important task would not affect activity nor reliability of information.
If you are not familiar with a certain task, please check Dont know.
FREQUENCY OF TASK Each tuk is not performed every time the duty is performed.Task frequency is the time interval at which it would be necessary to maintsln quality of
duty performance.
For example, an instrument might be used daily, but a calibration check would benecessary only weeldy.
If you are not familiar with a certain task, please check Dont know.
SKILL EXPECTA77ONS FOR NEWLY HIRED TECIINICLINS:The last two columns refer to the expectations of an employer hiring a technician. If thetask is something you would expect a newly hired employee to walk in and performimmediately, with only time allowed for adjustment to a new environment, check
&Rated to !mow when hired. If the task is something you would sot expect a newly
hired employee to perform immediately, but you would expect he or she to be able tolearn that task within a reasonable amount of time, check Can leans on the Job.

VERIFICATION INSTRUMENTS ANDSAMPLE COVER LEITERS
INDUSTRIAL MECHANICS TECHNOLOGYDACUM VERIFICATION WRVEY
On March 2-3, 1982, a DACUM was conducted at Trident Technical College
for the Industrial Mechanics Technology program involving representation of
ten local industries. From the panel's input, a draft DACUM chart was pre-
pared, and a verification survey based on the identified competencies was
developed and sent to twenty-six persons identified either as incumbent
industrial mechanics or supervisors of industrial mechanics, including the
original ten DACUM participants. (The firms participating in the verifica-
tion process are identified in appendix 2.) Twenty-one responses were received
and are included in the data tabulation.
Data from the survey is presented by mean response to each question and
by number of respondents to each category of each question (appendix 1.)
Trident Technical College is committed to develop individualized compe-
tency-based instruction that will assist learners to achieve competence through
effective training. With the input of expert practitioners and supervisors to
identify those tasks which are most important and which truly make a difference
for entering workers, this survey data can provide a sound basis for decision
making in program and learning material development.

Survey Number
1982 Industrial Mechanics Survey
The purpose of this survey is to identify the most important tasks Industrial Mechanics in the Trident
area perform.
This information will help define the skills an Industrial Mechanics graduate needs which
will be used to develop the curriculum for the new Industrial Mechanics program.
Please read the directions
carefully and answer every questicn.
Instructions:
The questionnaire contains a list of tasks divided into 12 major groups (A through L) which relate to
the occupation of Industrial Mechanic.
We need your response to three major questions about each task:
1.
How important is the performance( of the task in the job of an Industrial Mechanic?
2.
How frequently do you perform the task? (or how frequently do those Industrial Mechanics whom you
. 0,
supervise perform the task?)
3.
Is the task expected of a beginning Industrial Mechanic?
Answer these questions by completing the following steps:
1.
For each task rate the importance of the performance of that task to the job of the Industrial Mech-
anic by circling one response under column 1.
2.
For each task indicate how often the task is performed by circling one response under column 2.
3.
For each task indicate if this task would be expected to be performed by a beginning Industrial
Mechanic by circling one response in column 3.
Be sure to circle one response under each column for every task.
Please feel free to add any additional tasks or general comments.

Environmental firms clean up
The 'greening'of Texas business
xpanding public and private effortsto remedy America's environmen-tal problems and to prevent or con-
trol future pollution are producing dol-lars-and-cents benefits for a number ofTexas firms.
Stricter laws and regulations, as well asrising public awareness of environmentalissues, are forcing major industrial compa-nies to spend hundreds of millions on anti-pollution products and services. Thesetrends have created a lucrative market fora wide variety of companies. Businessessuch as solid and hazardous waste man-agement companies, makers of air pollu-tion control and water purification equip-ment and recycling firms are finding thatgoing "green" can be profitable.
Industry snapshot: The environmentalindustry is growing rapidly, but the com-mon definitions and statistics needed todescribe the industry are only nowemerging. Government agencies do notyet systematically compile data on suchbusinesses, but private studies havebegun to gather the information needed toprovide a statistical snapshot of the majortypes of environmental companies.One recent research effort by the trade
newsletter Environmental Business journal(EBP developed a profile of the US.,envi-ronmental industry including more than61,600 companies with combined annualrevenues of nearly $132 billion in 1990. EBjreported that privately owned companiesgenerated about 65 percent of those rev-enues, while publicly traded firms account-ed for 35 percent. Of the $45.8 billion inrevenue received by public companies, 22Texas firms accounted for 13 percent or$5.9 billion of the total. Detailed informa-tion on private Texas firmswhich tend tobe smaller but much more numerousisnot available, but literally hundreds ofTezas public and private companies andgovernmental entities produce some envi-ronmental products and services.

segment is solid waste management, with1990 revenues of $28.6 billion. Three largepublicly traded firms accounted for 38 per-cent of the market; one of these was a Texasfirm, with revenues of $3.1 billion in 1990.The second-largest industry sector was

resource recovery, including both indus-trial and consumer recycling and therapidly emerging chemical recycling busi-ness. Resource recovery companiesaccounted for about 13 percent of 1990industry revenues, or $17.2 billion. Ofthis, two Texas public companies togethergenerated nearly $1.3 billion or roughly 7percent of the total.
Water infrastructure companiessup-pliers of equipment and services for waterand wastewater treatment and deliverybrought in 1990 revenues of $14 billion.Just one Texas public firm made the list,with 1990 revenues of $33.8 million.
Hazardous waste management, a partic-ularly fast-growing field due to increasedgovernment and private spending oncleanup projects, enjoyed 1990 revenuesof $13.3 billion. Six Texas public compa-nies working in the field generated $566.1million àf that amount.
Environmental consulting and engineer-ing firms have been boosted by federalclean water and air legislation; revenuesfor the field reached $12.2 billion in 1991.One publicly traded Texas finn contribut-ed $286.6 million of the total.
Another large industry segment, wastemanagement equipment, includes com-panies making water treatment equip-ment, catalytic convertors, landfill liners,protective suits and masks and evencomputer software used in environmen-tal fields. Makers of such equipment gen-erated $9.2 billion in 1990 revenue, withthree Texas public firms accounting for$301.1 million of that.

Two other relatively small industry sec-tors are asbestos abatement companies,which remove the dangerous substancefrom existing buildings and structures,and manufacturers of environmental mon-itoring and other equipment. These sectorsaccounted for total nationwide 1990 rev-enues of 54 billion and 51.8 billion r?spec-tively.

The EB1 surveyassumed that about 3.5 percent of thesecompanies' business is related to the envi-ronment, for about $4 billion in 1990 rev-enue. Using this yardstick, two Texaspublic conglomerates in the survey gener-ated nearly $199 million in environmentalrevenues in 1990.

EBJ estimates that the environmentalbusiness market will grow by a vigorous11 percent annually through 1996, withsome industry sectors surpassing eventhis growth rate.
Environmental consulting and engi-neering firms are expected to enjoyextremely fast growth in revenues, withmany new business opportunities spring-ing from increasingly complex environ-mental regulations at the federal, stateand local levels. EIJI estimates revenuesfor such firms will rise by 16 percentannually through 1996.
Air pollution control companies also willexperience a I6-percent annual growthrate. Passage of the 1990 Clean Air Actamendments should dramatically boostsales for a wide variety of air pollutiondevices and services.
Revenues from resource recovery areprojected to rise by 15 percent annually.This increase will result primarily fromincreased consumer recycling spurred bya rising number of state and local recy-cling programs and mandatory recyclinglaws, and by expected reductions innationwide landfill capacity.
Hazardous waste will be another growthfield, with 14-percent annual revenue in-creases through 1996. Hazardous wastefirms will benefit from higher spendingon private site cleanups and federal:iiperfund programs as well as othercleanups at various federal facilities andon thousands of leaking undergroundstorage tanks. *

Accepting the'Green' Challenge
When it comes to environmental compliance,.come Texas firms choose to lead, not follow
ealizing that reduc-ing waste can meanpolluting less. manyTexas companies
have decided that innovationand environmental regulationare compatible business part-ners.
In the 1990s. private indus-try faces an unprecedentedeconomic challenge due to newregulations stemming from thefederal Clear Air Act. For smallbusinesses in Texas. initialcompliance will run at least SIbillion, according to the TexasNatural Resource ConservationCommission (TNRCC).
The Clean Air Act, the moststringent environmental lawever passed in the U.S.. requiresall states to develop plans formeeting national air qualitystandards. Failure to meet thesestandards by specified dates be-tween 1996 and 2007 could re-sult in the loss of federalhighway funds, growth limita-tions on industrial facilities orfederal takeover of a state'splanning process.
According to the TNRCC.Texas is "well ahead- of moststates in meeting federal cleanair standards. That's due. inpart, to a host of Texas compa-nies that have faced up to theenvironmental challenge andinitiated cleaner processes be-fore federal law mandates do-ing so.

tanta. The broader law also af-fects many small businessesthat previously were exempt.Compliance costs affectinggasoline stations, auto repairshops. dry cleaners, printers.bakeries and the like will be dri-ven by far-reaching mandatesinvolving purchases of servicesand specialty equipment. Ser-vices range front consultants toclean-up personnel. Specialtyequipment includes emissionreduction add-ons and new oralternative equipment used t oreduce emissions at the source.
Already, fines in the tens ofmillions of dollars have been is-sued for non-compliance. Stateregulators say they want to re-coup any economic benefitcompanies gained from skirtingenvironmental laws.

courages voluntary pollutionrethiction beyond stale and fed.eral requirements and seekscommitments that by 2000Texas industrial facilities willhave reduced by half the haz-ardous waste and/or emissionslevels of 1987.
In response. operators of114 industrial facilities inTexas have pledged pollutionreductions that average 62 per-cent per facility, the TNRCCreports. If successful, this ef-fort would reduce the amountof hazardous waste generatedin Texas by 30 million tons andtoxic emissions by 287 millionpounds.
The color of money: Companiesadopting environmental im-provements in the workplacestypically have been motivatedby one or more key factors: the"green consumer" who looksfor environmentally consciousproducts before opening hispocketbook, growing competi-tive pressures for greater pro-ductivity and increasinglystrict environmental regula-tions. Many Texas firms haveset targets well beyond govern-ment mandates. Here are just afew:
Fisher Controls Interna-tional Inc. Ten years ago. thisNorth Texas manufacturer ofcontrol valves launched a pro-
grain to eliminate all toxic dis-charges from its plants by1997). The McKinney plant as-sembled an environmentalteam to make sure the plant's370 employees knew aboutchanges in environmental regu-lations, then it continued to ex-plore ways to reduce oreliminate pollution and waste.In 1993. the company spent$450.000 on its pollution-reduc-tion goal.
So far, Fisher estimates ithas reduced waste by 95 per-cent and diverted 1.600 tons ofwaste from landfills each year.The company no longer usesozone-destroying paint sol-vents, thereby avoiding the re-lease of 25 tons of toxicemissions into the air eachyear. These changOs save thecompany $780,000 per year indisposal costs.
Fisher Controls was recog-nized with a Clean Texas 2000Governor's Award for Environ-mental Excellence in 1993 forexemplary leadership to im-prove and protect the environ-ment.

Birds. for exam-ple, are highly sensitive to poorair quality, so the zoo has madeaggressive use of specializedfilters to maintain indoor airquality. At one time, the pesti-cides and other chemicals usedon the zoo's spacious lawnsand gardens were a source ofpollution, but by switching toorganic gardening, zoo man-agers say they all but eliminat-ed this problem.

Chem-Pruf designsand produces specialty doors.door frames and louvers for in-dustrial facilities subjected tohighly corrosive environments.The excess "dust" from the cut-ting, grinding and sanding ofthe fiberglass and excess bond-ing material are now capturedand reused in making doorframes. Recycling this materialis cheaper than buying newresin filler, the company re-ports.
Chem-Pruf received a CleanTexas 2000 Governor's Awardfor Environmental Excellencein 1994 for exemplary leader-ship to improve and protectthe environment.

Halliburton Energy Ser-vices Inc. This Houston manu-facturer of oil field equipmentroutinely recycles residuesfrom its metal working/fabrica-tion shops. By using compres-sors. compactors and grinders,the company now recovers ma-terials that it used to disposeof. Also, fluids used in themanufacturing process arecaptured for proper disposal.and that vastly reduces the po-tential for spills. Some of thefacilities already recycle ma-chining coolants, and the com-pany is working on a plan torecycle the fluids at all its loca-tions.

PROGRAM SUMMARY
INSTITUTION: Brookhaven College of the Dallas County Community College District
REQUEST: Associates of Arts and Sciences Degree (MS Degree) in EnvironmentalTechnology including program options for a Certificate and AdvancedSkills Certificates
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Program Objectives: The program has been designed t6 provide the graduatewith knowledge and skills necessary to function as an environmentaltechnician. The program will emphasize knowledge and skills in the followingareas: (1) testing and analysis of soil, air, and water and consumer productsamples; (2) application of those techniques to ensure user and consumersafety, and (3) technical documentation and regulatory compliance.
Program Reauirements: Cooperative work experiences at industry sites,combined with classroom and laboratory instruction comprise this 66 credithour MS Degree. It is a two year program reflective of an academic calendarbased on semesters. Additionally, there will be a 33 credit hour certificatedesigned to produce a Laboratory Technician. Students who have completedthe MS Degree may pursue Advanced Skills Certificates in Laboratory Analysisand Regulatory Compliance.
NEED AND POTENTIAL
Occupational Need: Environmental Technology has been designated as anadvanced technology program and as a priority for development by the TexasHigher Education Coordinating Board. The TINS Report, Inter link and otherbusiness publications in the field indicate a high demand (over 500 in DallasCounty) for technicians through the year 2000.
The types of businesses in the community with a need to hire graduates fromthis program include: chemical and allied products manufacturers and blenders(cosmetics, pharmaceutical, adhesives, cleaners, etc.), electronicsmanufacturers, environmental laboratories, testing laboratories, environmentalengineers, and governmental agencies such as the Bureau of LandManagement, Bureau Standards, Housing and Urban Development,Environmental Protection Agency, and Transportation Agencies such as DallasArea Rapid Transit (DART).
121
Existing Programs: Research reveals there are similar community collegeprograms Texas. These programs are located at Texas State TechnicalCollege in Waco and at Midland, El Paso and Houston Community Colleges,Recently, programs at Texas State Technical College in Harlingen and BeevilleCommunity Colleges were approved by the Coordinating Board. It is importantto note that because of their locations, the above environmental programstarget different industries. Most of these programs are geared to traintechnicians for petroleum and hazardous materials management and disposal.The DCCCD program will focus on training individuals to perform tests for thedetection of contaminants in soil, air, water, and consumer products.
Expected Enrollment: Brookhaven College projects an initial enrollment of 15students with a projected enrollment of 15 to 20 students per semester. Sixtyto 80 students could be enrolled at any one time in varioLls parts of theprogram. After its start-up period, it is expected the graduation rate will be 10to 12 graduates per year.
Courses: Implementation of this program requires the development of 12 newcourses. Four of these will be advanced courses developed to provideinstruction for the students who are graduates with an AAS Degree and whoare seeking additional skills and certification for the work place.
Faculty: The proposed program will begin with one full-time faculty memberwho will coordinate the program. During the initial stages of the program, thisperson will teach introductory courses and will also be responsible formarketing the program, making community contacts, arranging cooperativework experiences sites with local industry, etc. Other EnvironmentalTechnology courses will be taught by adjunct faculty from local industry,businesses, consulting firms, laboratories, and schools.
Facilities and Equipment: The existing classrooms and laboratories atBrookhaven College are sufficient for the program. The college has committedto a schedule for acquiring the additional equipment need to conduct thisprogram in a quality manner.

APPUCATION FOR APPROVAL OF NEW TECHNICAL PROGRAMS
ASSURANCE OF CERTIFICATE STANDARDS
Students pursuing certificate programs approved by the Coordinating Board will be required to meetcompetency-based technical skills and proficiencies in the three basic foundation skills and fNework-place ximpetencies as defined in A SCANSReport for America 2000, published by the U.S.Department of Labor in June 1991. For further information on this, see pages 10-11 of the Guidelines.
In the space below, provide an institutional assurance that the certificate program, if approved by theCoordinating Board, will meet the above proficiency requirements.
SCANS competencies and foundation skills have been incorpotated into the courses for this program.Nowhere is it more impottant for workplace competencies to be actively taught than in a technologyprogram, where it is essential for students to leave the classroom prepared to enter the work world.This program will utilize the following activities to demonstrate the incorporation of SCANS into thecourses:
1. Through the use of the local advisory committee, industry standards for levels of workplaceperformance were established. Graduates must be performing at these levels uponcompleting the program. (Appendix A)
2. The curriculum, classroom, and instructional activities are designed to be SCANSbased. A sample outline of courses and SCANS based activities can be found inAppendix B.
3. Student performance, assessment, and evaluation will be used to documentachievement of SCANS competencies. See Appendix C for sample evaluation form.

PROGRAM SUMMARY
The program proposed has been designed to provide the student with knowledge and skills necessaryto function as an environmental technician. Emphasis in the program will be placed on knowledge andskills in the following areas: (1) testing and analysis of soil, air, water, and consumer product samples,(2) application of these techniques to ensure user and consumer safety, and (3) technicaldocumentation and regulatory compliance.
This program's training and instruction will be conducted in 66 credit hours of instruction for the MSdegree. The program will, in two years, incorporate practical experience through the use ofcooperative education with classroom instruction. The two years are reflective of an academiccalendar based on semesters. Additionally, there will be a 33 credit hour certificate designed to trainfor a Laboratory Technician. Upon completion of the two-year degree, an individual may return topursue Advanced Skills Certificates in Laboratory Analysis and Regulatory Compliance.
Indications from traditional federal, state, and local occupational data documents we non-existent forthe occupational category of Environmental Technology. However, the Texas Innovation Network(TINS) has projected the area of environmental technology as an emerging occupation with aconsiderable number of openings for the state of Texas. Thus, the review and interpretation of theTINS data lead to the development of this proposal. Documentation highlighting the availableinformation related to the emergence of environmental technology can be found in Appendix D.
Research revealed there are similar community college programs located in Texas. These programsare located at Midland, El Paso, and Houston Community Colleges. Additionally, there is a program inWaco, Texas operated by Texas State Technical College; and most recently, TSTC Harlingen andBeeville Community Colleges were approved by the Coordinating Board. It is important to note theseprograms target different industries because of their geographical location. Most of these programsare geared to train technicians for the petroleum and hazardous materials management and disposal.The DCCCD program will focus on training indNiduals to perform tests for the detection ofcontaminants in soil, air, water, arld oonsumer products.
Individuals who successfully complete the two-yew program will be awarded an associate of appliedscience degree and will have demonstrated knowledge and skills needed to enter the woridorce. Theemployment sites for environmental technicians include large manufacturing companies, laboratories,quality assurance departments, agriculture industry, public utilities, hospitals, and other large and smallbusinesses.
LABOR MARKET DEMAND
This program is designed for individuals to be employed with businesses and organizations'responsible for collecting and testing soil, air, and water samples. The federal, state, and localemployment data do not identify the occupational category of Environmental Technology as an officialoccupational listing at this time. However, according to the Technology and Emerging Occu tions:Directions for Texas in the 1990's published by the Texas Department of Commerce, Work ForceDevelopment Division, as a result of research conducted by the Texas Innovation Network (TINS), thisoccupational category is emerging as a need to monitor and assist industries which are involved withvarious products impacted by chemical and contaminant factors ensure product safety for consumerprotection.

The TINS 1988 report highlighted technology changes and relevant occupations which are expected toemerge within 10 years. Six groups of technologies were identified, of the six groups one was titled*Energy and Environment Technologies*. Under this occupational category, the job title of LaboratoryAnalyst/Environmental is listed. During a phase of the TINS work, the job title of LaboratoryAnalyst/Environmental was Changed to read Environmental Laboratory Technician. Thus, for thedevelopment of this program proposal, the person trained will be trained to serve as an EnvironmentalTechnician. Included in Appendix E are articles which further discuss the emerging trends ofEnvironmental Technology.
Consequently, the area Quality Work Force Planning Committee has adopted the occupationalcategory of Environmental Technology as a targeted occupation (Appendix F). The TINS reportspeculates there will be a need of 500 - 5,000 annual job openings throughout the state by 1995(Appendix G).
To get a perspective on the Dallas labor market and the demand for an Environmental Technologyprogram, a survey was conducted. The next section presents a summary of the findings of the survey.
SUMMARY OF EMPLOYERSURVEY
The survey (Appendix H) conducted as part of this program exploration was designed to collect dataregarding need, salary, projected future position, and employer thoughts about education. The surveyresponses were tabulated using frequency responses and percentages (Appendix I). The occupationalcategory of Environmental Technology is very broad. Almost every industry has a component of thebusiness dedicated to the area of occupational health and safety services. This is particularly true forthe manufacturing industry.
The survey sample was identified and selected using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.After the SIC codes were selected, the services of a business listing clearinghouse was used. Acomputer list was generated which contained addresses of 1,386 businesses. As a result of themethod used to secure the sample size, it is accurate to say sampling technique used was targeted byindustry category. A listing of the employers who received the survey can be found in Appendix J. Anexplanation .of the SIC codes used can be found in Appendix K.
Of the surveys mailed 61 surveys were completed and returned, either by fax or the United StatesPostal Service. This represented a 4% return rate. No survey forms were returned by U.S. PostalService. Therefore, it was assumed the mail was delivered as addressed. In Appendix L, a partiallisting of the survey respondents, who provided names and addresses, can be viewed.
Twenty-five of the 61 respondents (42%) indicated their company had employees who were currentlyperforming duties consistent with an Environmental Technician. Whereas, 34 or 58% of theorganizations surveyed did not have such an employee. A question regarding the need for theproposed training in Environmental Technology was included on the survey. Forty-five (83%) of therespondents believed training at an Associate Degree level was needed with 9 or 17% saying "no" tothe need for training. With regard to training at the certificate level, 74% of the respondents indicatedthe training proposed was a good idea and 26% did not.
The respondents reported hiring full-time considerations over the next 5 years for associate degree andcertificate level would represent a total of 85 persons. The hiring considerations for part-timepersonnel with the respective levels of training would be a total of 70 persons.
25
150
The respondents considered the hourly salary range for a certificate level training person to be $6.00 -$12.00. With an annual salary of $14,560K - $30,000K. For an associate degree level person, thehourly rate was reported to be $7.00 - $15.00 and the annual as $18,000K - $50,000K.
While the completed surveys returned were barely reflective of statistically valid sample, it is importantto note the occupational category of Environmental Technology is an emerging technology.Consequently, many businesses and organizations which responded might not be familiar withenvironmental technology as an occupational category. As demonstrated from the listing in question5, the persons responsible for environmental issues and safety have many job titles.
Our employer need survey indicated that 11 employers are willing to serve as cooperative sites forstudents. Employers who indicated an interested in cooperative education are: Rone Engineers,environmental consulting services; Delta Environmental, environmental consulting; Pro-LineCorporation, personal care product manufacturing; Sandoz Agro Inc., specialty chemicalmanufacturing; Custom Analytical, specialty laboratory services; Enserch, research and development;Conlan Engineering Co., environmental consulting; Dallas Wiping Materials, textile manufacturer; HeatEnergy Advanced Technology, treatment, storage, and disposal; Analytical Food Laboratories, testinglaboratory; and City of Lewisville, environmental services.
PROJECTED STUDENT AND GRADUATE DATA
In order to assess the level of interest and potential enrollment in the environmental technologyprogram, students currently enrolled in general chemistry courses were surveyed. The survey(Appendix M) distributed to 52 students included general information about the program and potentialplacement opportunities for graduates.
Out of the 52 responses, 21 students (40%) indicated an interest in an environmental technician'scareer. Of these 21 students, 16 or 30.7% of the students indicated that they would be interested inreceiving additional information or studying environmental technology at Brookhaven College.
The average enrollment in the sciences at Brookhaven (chemistry, biology, geology, and physicalscience) is 450 per semester. Idealistically, extrapolating from the 31% of respondents interested instudying environmental technology at Brookhaven, approximately 150 would be potential students.However, a more realistic interpretation using 10% of the above figure would give us a beginning classof 15. With a projected enrollment of 15 to 20 per semester, 60-80 could be enrolled at any one timein various parts of the program.
UNKAGES AND DEMONSTRATION OF NON-DUPUCATION
Other than currently enrolled science students, there are several additional sources for the recruitmentof potential students. For example graduating high school students from the feeder schools, personswho are making second-career choices, and individuals already working who want additional training.
High school students will be recruited from R.L Turner, Newman Smith, W.T. White, Thomas Jefferson,Lewisville, J.J. Pearce, Marcus (Flower Mound), The Colony, Highland Park, Jesuit Preparatory, andUrsuline Academy.
Information will be made available through college night activities and the mailing of brochures tellingabout the program to high school counselors. Advertising in local newspapers and widely circulatedmagazines would be needed to reach individuals considering a career change. Local periodicals will
26
be used to reach large numbers of residents; the Metro Crest News covers many local issues andevents. Advertising, announcements, or press releases to larger papers would also reach largenumbers of indNiduals; the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram both regularly includeeducation sections where careers and career trends are presented.
Another potential source of students will be from the existing local environmental industry. We will betargeting adult workers who are seeking additional training in order to advance in their present job orto be considered for promotion. The RETORT is a professional journal published by the AmericanChemical Society in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that is distributed to more than 1200 workers in relatedfields. By placing an advertisement or a mini article in this journal, the RETORT could become animportant tool in our recruitment efforts.
Non-duplication is demonstrated by the absence of such program in the immediate service area. Theclosest program dealing with a related area is in Waco, Texas.

Dr. Larry Darlage, Vice President of Instruction, Brookhaven College, gave a warm welcome andprovided the members an overview of the environmental technology program. He indicated that as aformer chemistry instructor, he felt a strong personal affinity with the potential and importance of theproposed program.
Following individual introductions, Unda Lee, Director of Instructional Development and Project Directorfor the Coordinating Board - Environmental Technology Grant, opened the committee meetingreferencing an article form the August 1991, Fiscal Notes, 'The environmental industry is growingrapidly, but the common definitions and statistics needed to describe the industry are only nowemerging.* Government agencies aren't systematically compiling the data on related businesses, butprivate studies are beginning to provide a `statistical snapshot'. The Environmental Business Journal(EBJ) developed a profile of 61,600 U.S. environmental companies. The combined annual revenues ofthose companies represented $132 billion in 1990. Further the EBJ reported "that $45.8 billion inrevenue was received by public companies and of that number, 22 Texas firms accounted for 13percent or 5.9 billion of the total.'
Unda explained that this local advisory committee represented a new source of information and inputfor the development of a new program to train individuals for employment as environmentaltechnicians. As background information into the process she explained that thus far, there had beentwo meetings of a statewide advisory committee that included educators and representatives from thefield of environmental technology. In addition, a two<lay DACUM was completed in November 1993.(A DACUM is a process for job analysis. It requires a facilitator and a panel of experts who identify,over a two day period, all of the duties and tasks pertinent to a specific job. In this instance the jobtitle was Field/laboratory Technician.) The DACUM Panelists worked to produced a charting ofduties and tasks for the position of Field Laboratory Technician. The duties and tasks were thenvalidated, via a survey, with another representative group of environmental professionals.
Once this process was complete, a Crosswalk of all of the duties and tasks was undertaken. Basically,the Crosswalk is a convenient term to describe the process for considering each of the task/dutystatements in terms of the required cognitive, affective and psychomotor levels of instruction; whetheror not the information is currently taught in an existing course; or if a new course needs to bedeveloped. The Crosswalk produces a visual charting that forms the basis from which the curriculumplan begins to emerge. Lee indicated that in our [the local advisory committee] work today, the groupwill be reviewing directly and indirectly input from all that has happened to this point as it relates to thecurriculum patterns and the courses that support the proposed Environmental Technology program
Marilyn Kolesar who, if the proposed program is approved by the Coordinating Board, will be theadministrator for the Environmental Tech program, gave the committee a breakdown of why they wereasked to participate and how they will be involved. She invited their full support and involvement inthe review of curriculum materials and in making any additions or corrections that are necessary bothbefore the program is presented to the state for approval, and once the program is underway. Marilynclarified that we will be training entry level employees as Environmental Technicians. This AdvisoryCommittee will be looked to for advice, ideas, leadership, resource people, visitation sights for ourstudents, and as possible sources for cooperative work opportunities for our students. This committee,in effect, represents the professionals who will provide the linking partnership between industry andeducation. It is hoped that the program can be implemented in the Spring of 1995.
Connie Hendrickson, Content Specialist, discussed the core curriculum as it is to be implemented.Potential new courses and core course requirements were reviewed. It was emphasized that whatwas proposed would not be a specialty program, but a general program having heavy chemical*underpinning.*
29
I. The ENVT prefixes are new courses. English, speech, and math are required courses for theAssociates Degree. Several of the courses in the Associates Degree plan should be transferrable to afour-year college.
Connie pointed out that the "DRAFT° core curriculum handout includes short course descriptions andcourse learning outcomes, both of which come directly from the DACUM.
Comments on individual courses:
ENVT 101 - Introduction to Science and Safety is a "heavy duty" safety course which the DACUMpanel and statewide advisory committee said was necessary. There will be an introductory coursein air, soil, and water pollution (ENVT 101).
ENVT 101 - The curriculum will include courses in lab and record keeping. The DACUM panelemphasized that it was essential to prepare workers knowledgeable of the workings of aspreadsheet. Experience with a word processing program and the use of data based software wasequally important.
BIO 223 - Environmental biology will give the student a good background for those that will bedoing field work and it is transferrable.
CMT 124 - Electrical and Mechanical Equipment for Buildings was another committee contribution.This course is already taught at North lake as part of their program in construction. As such, it isan approved course.
ENVT 106 - Calculations for Environmental Chemistry most graduates do not have experience insetting up word problems in math.
ENVT - 202 Hazardous Materials; the core curriculum concentrates on handling of hazardousmaterials. This course would satisfy OSHA requirements.
ENVT - 206 Industrial Processes and Procedures is an overview of major chemical industrialprocesses. It discusses different kinds of tracking and transportation of materials, on-site fieldtesting, on-site experience. ("Nothing takes the place of your first jobnot even a coop program.")
The certificate program is aimed at those students who have exited and are returning, or will exit afterthey have completed their certificate requirements. It includes the employee's "right-to-knowinformation.
This comment lead to a discussion on the need for advanced skills courses or a possible certificationattesting to skill attainment in materials analysis and regulatory compliance.
One of the committee members suggested that there was a need for exposure to hydrology and it wassuggested that this would probably be covered in an advanced field coursean overview of groundwater movement (e.g. introduction to soil chemistrythe movement of water thorough soil zones).
Don Eubanks brought up the subject of contaminants. It was felt that these needs would be coveredin hazardous wastes.
Walt Helmick suggested that more information in any one subject might be covered in the 'freeelectives" designation.
30
155
Marilyn Kolesar noted that the last 15 hours must be in residence. Because this program will producean entry level person, there will be a heavy emphasis on lab time.
John Corn inquired as to how many hybrid courses are transferrable - Marilyn Kolesar indicated that atthis point, we don't know. She clarified that these details will be on hold pending the program'sapproval.
Connie Hendrickson mentioned that she knows that the University of North Texas has anenvironmental program in the developmental stage.
John Corn asked Marilyn how long the student was given to complete the program? Answer: fromMarilyn Kolesar, five years.
Linda Lee mentioned that the environmental tech team was also working to create aTech Prep partnership with Coppell High School, but that the individual time lines for both the collegeand the high school will make it impossible to have completed the Tech Prep plan before theproposed program application is submitted to the Coordinating Board.
Walt Helmick mentioned that the makeup of the committee from education and industry evolvedbecause we had one common goal-producing a competent work force.
John Corn asked the question: Is it possible to use this program as a basis for a four year degree inchemistry? Answer: While we recognize that some of our students will be continuing into a four yearprogram, that is not the purpose for the program. For the most part we are educating students tobegin entry level jobs.
Walt Helmick suggested that another good use for the program would be for people who needretraining. (Someone else mentioned that the Geotechnical Environmental program in continuingeducation is geared toward retraining.)
In concluding the discussion portion of the meeting, Lee reminded the group of the SCANS activitythat would formally conclude the morning's session. Committee members were asked to complete theSCANS. assessment sheets from the perspective of a potential employer and indicate which of thecompetencies listed would be most valued in an employee.
One additional comment from Ricks Pluennecke regarding the impodance of communication skills wasnoted before the close of the meeting. It has been his experience that communication skills have notbeen given adequate attention.
The Advisory Committee was thanked for their interest and participation in the development of theproposed program and the meeting was adjourned.

BROOKHAVEN COLLEGESTATEWIDE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING FOR
THE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGYCOORDINATING BOARD GRANT
October 15, 1993
Present: Mary A. Brumbach, Susan Couch, Pam Dahmen, Bruce Bailey, R. Steven George,Stephen C. Head, Watt Helmick, Connie Hendrickson, IGmberly Kass, Unda H. Lee, Dick Lodewick, JanMayberry, Sue Pardue, Barry Russell, Terry Squier
Welcome and Introductions: Unda Lee, Director of the Environmental Technology Grant, and Dr.Larry Dar lage, Vice President of Instruction, Brookhaven College welcomed Environmental TechnologyAdvisory Committee to Brookhaven College.
Grant Overview: Dr. Mary Brumbach referenced the new mood in the state of Texas, that it is nolonger possible to develop programs for jobs that don't exist. Most of the jobs in the next three years
32
will be in the small business sector. And it is also estimated that during in the next three years, jobsin the small business sector will increase from the current 286,000 to 696,000.
Objectives for the business community include employees who :* are trained to go to work.
have work place competencies.are comfortable and competent in the use of technology.have basic skills writing and thinking plus with high ethical standards and integrity.
Texas is 47th in the nation in terms of federal dollars used for support.
Focus of the grant is to produce a manual that will help to disseminate a curriculum model forenvironmental technology that can be referenced and used throughout the state of Texas.
Unda Lee indicated the goal for this Advisory Committee meeting is for everyone to contribute theirperceptions of the components for an environmental tech curriculum. After the meeting concluded,everyone would leave with an understanding of what we are trying to accomplish and would begin tothink in terms of how the type of program being discussed might impact their own campus.
MethodologyUnda Lee and Dr. Connie Hendrickson, Content Specialists for the Environmental Tech grant leaddiscussions on the methodology and related topics.
a) Developing a Curriculuma process for job analysis. A process wherein a panel of expert workersis assembled for a two day session. During this time, it is the responsibility of the panel, workingwith a facilitator, to define and refine the specified job in terms of its job definition and its dutiesand tasks. This process ultimately identified, in detail, workplace competencies required for aspecific job.
Concerns were expressed that the workloads that environmental techs handle might make it difficult formanagers to release their best workers for two days. (One committee member indicated that thisreality also spoke to the need for train technicians in environmental technology.) Dr. Hendricksonindicated that while this was a realistic concern she had already received commitments from some ofthe major businesses in the field.
Other questions were raised regarding the diversity of workers represented on the panel. It waspointed out that to date, individuals contacted included bench technicians, and those from productionand facilitation including representatives from Aloon Labs, BeautiControl, Exxon and Armstrong Labs.
b) Titles and Definitions for an Environmental Technician:
Connie Hendrickson clarified that an environmental technology program would not necessarilytarget a single need such as air, soil and water, industrial hygiene, or hazardous materials. Thework of an environmental technician might touch on some or all of these specialties. Typically anenvironmental technician is the type of person who participates in some kind of testing. Manymight fall into the category of Chemical Bench Technicians, but others would work in the field or ina nontraditional capacity. (The American Society for Testing and Materials, is recognized as theorganization that sets the standards for testing. )
Connie referenced the TIINS definition in the handout package, and her unifying definition ofEnvironmental Laboratory Technician was discussed.
33
156
Some committee members saw environmental technician in classifications for both professional andnonprofessional workers. R. Steven George pointed out the need to understand both procedures andprocesses, that environmental technicians conduct both tests and field applications
During the exchanges, the job title Environmental Laboratory Technician was a point of concern toseveral committee members. It was discussed, throughout the meeting, as maybe not the terminologythat should be used. Also noted was the title of 'Bench Laboratory Technician° as being too limiting.
The Advisory Committee felt that the term Environmental Technician was much broader. The word*lab° was felt to indicate one person sitting in a laboratory running tests. EnAronmental Lab/Field Techwas also suggested as a possible job title for graduates of the program.
Other related comments for considerations included the following:
Terry Squier felt that we should be more interested in what people do; i.e. construction, manufacturing,community government, real estate and insurance (Phase I and Phase II evaluations), using documentsto collecting information and with varied media or data bases.
Barry Russell felt that the program should be aimed al the person seeking at least an Associate degreesuch as an Environmental Lab Tech/Field Tech And, that they should have training in the health andsafety aspects. However, he felt that there must also be a route for these people to take a job out ofhigh school, this might include OSHA training.
Bruce Bailey expressed an interest in a course in safety and regulations; perhaps with 40 hours ofsafety training, the student wiU be employable. However, others indicated that these specialty type oftraining sessions were already available at various locations in Texas.
Helmick in referencing OSHA training expressed the desire for more training on toxicology and hygienerisk; that both needed to be heavily reinforced.
Stephen Head noted the need for instruction in legal and ethical issues.
1Gmberly Kass emphasized the importance of including industry in the program's development.
Terry Squier wanted consideration given to how and where graduates of environmental tech programspeople might be employed. He felt that as an Mvisory Committee, we should plan for the future andnot from the past.
Dick Lodewick alerted the group to the necessity of flexibility, and to assure that students would notbecome boxed into a profession.
Environmental technology, as a field, is less than 20 years old. Stephen Head spoke to the importanceof industry standards.
Connie mentioned that the American Chemical Society has recommended guidelines for programstraining chemical technicians.
R. Steven George pointed out that he is a product of a program similar to the one being proposed.And that he became involved in the field after he already had a B.S.
Because of the breadth of ideas being exchanged a two minute summary was suggested to bullet keypoint for the group, the summary follows.

What Happens Next? Linda Lee provided the folowing highlights:a) Finalize planning for DACUM, November 4 and 5,1994. The DACUM will be held at the Jan Le Croy
Center on Richland's campus. Advisor Committee members are invited to attend; however, thegrant cannot pay for transportation.
b) Once DACUM is complete, information will be validated with other professionals to confirmaccuracy.
c) A `Crosswalk' team will be assembled. This group will include representathres from business andindustry (hopefully participants from the DACUM panel who will be able to clarify rationale for someof the duties and tasks), and representatives from the science faculty who will review the DACUMresults, the validation results and identify basic patterns from which the curriculum pattern will bedeveloped.
The advisory committee considered possible meeting dates for spring, 1994. The date of April 22, 1994was selected.
Meeting was adjourned.

BROOKHAVEN COLLEGESTATEWIDE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING FOR
THE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGYCOORDINATING BOARD GRANT
April 22, 1994
Present: R. Steven George, Walt Helmick, Connie Hendrickson, IGmberly Kass, Marilyn Kolesar, LindaH. Lee, Dick Lodewick, Jan Mayberry, Chuck McCarter, Sue Pardue, and Barry Russell.
Welcome and Introductions: Linda Lee, Director of the Environmental Technology Grant, Dr. LarryDarlage, Vice President of Instruction, Brookhaven College and Dr. Mary A. Brumbach, Director,Resource Development, Brookhaven College.
Update: Linda Lee reported on the following:* The Environmental Tech DACUM was held November 4 & 5. Lee reported that, repeatedly during thefirst two days ot the DACUM, panelists kept repeating that business/industry were seeking a competentworker with background in the sciences, particularly chemistry, a person who is trained to perform inthe field and in the lab.
* The team had received a 47.2% return on the DACUM Validation survey. One hundred fifty-ninesurveys were sent to A.I.C. (American Institute of Chemists) members and 28 were sent to members ofthe American Accredited Laboratory Association.
* About a week ago, using the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes as a basis for setection, aNeeds Assessment was sent to 1386 businesses in environmentally related fields. Replies to thatsurvey were being received.
* A committee that included both faculty and representatives from business and industry met on March25 and 30 to complete a Crosswalk based on the DACUM identified duties and tasks. These two daysof discussion provided the basis for curriculum planning from which the curriculum pattern is being finetuned.
* Tech Prep explorations we under way.
* A letter of intent for the program has been forwarded to the Coordinating Board.
* SCANS Competencies are being integrated into the organization of class materials.
Discussion of Curriculum: Dr. Hendrickson shared that her original plan for the program had 90hours but had been pared to 72 hours. Both Quantitative Analysis and Instrumental Analysis areincluded in the program.
Comments from the meeting's participants follows with discussion notes in brackets.
Sue Pardue -- questioned why there was only one semester of math? [A review of the catalogueclarified why course was a fit and in addition math skills were augmented by ENVT 106.]
Connie Hendrickson -- emphasized importance of computer skills for environmental tech graduates
Marilyn Kolesar noted her strong sense that the DACUM truly drove the program's curriculum.
36
161
Kimberly Kass -- high level of expectation in the field...that breadth of training improves options forlateral movement in the profession
Walt Helmick sought clarifications on Chemistry 101 and Math 101
Sue Pardue 'what about the student who got a GED 20 years ago before there was computertraining? [ ENVT 102 designed to fill this need)
R. Steven George endorsed the importance of computer classes, noting that he had never toucheda computer until age 30 when he took a crash course.
Marilyn Kolesar ENVT 102 was the source for computer training which included basicspreadsheets, word processing and working with data based software as they relate to theprofession.
Kimberly Kass computer skills are commonly taught in many high schools and that typicallystudents graduate knowing three software programs.
Sue Pardue questioned if the curriculum was overly ambitious for a student at the AssociateDegree level?
Chuck McCarter had questions about the term "free electives. [However, this was a requiredterm used in Brookhaven College curriculum patterns.]
R. Steve George noted that "documentation" assignments were usually 'dumped' on entry levelworkers which was one on the reasons for requiring strong communications skills.
Connie Hendrickson confirmed that ENVT 101 would cover material safety and data sheets andthe protection of people and equipment.
Walt Helmick recommended that we take out references to professional and governmentorganizations, i.e. OSHA and EPA and instead use generic terminology.
Walt noted that instructor certification in some instances is just a matter of taking the course andthat no testing is required.
Barry Russell questioned If some things were already in place for the new courses i.e.textbooks, equipment, etc. [One of the advantages of this proposes program was that campuscould share existing resources for Chemistry/Biology, use newly renovated tabs. In addition, thecampus had committed budget dollars to new supplies, resources and equipment needs onceprogram is approved, hopefully, for spring 1995 implementation. Application for theEnvironmental Tech program to be submitted to Coordinating Board August 1994.)
Barry Russell is articulation to BS degree planned? Has the assumption has been made thatgraduates want to go on to advanced degrees i.e. agriculture, oceanography, etc.? [Program'sprimary objective is to prepare graduates for work in environmental technology fields. However,once the program is underway networking with area four year institutions, such as North Texas, willbe important. It is anticipated that some of our courses such as Quantitative Analysis will transferto four year colleges.)
37
Sue Pardue complimented the program, particularity, because of its hands-on, field-basedapproach. She stated that a first program looked "overly ambitious° but based on discussions,she's confident program is well targeted.
Break for lunch
Walt Helmick said that he'd shared the proposed Environmental Tech curriculum plan withfriends in the field and they were very impressed with the quality and rigor of the program.However, they expressed concern that graduates may not get their "hoped for salary with theirfirst job.
Marilyn Kolesar expressed concern that nothing will kill a program faster than false expectationsregarding salaries in the field.
R. Steve George the problem is that companies need the skilled worker, but will not have largesalaries to offer the entry level person until he/she proves themselves.
Walt Helmick entry salaries can be discouraging, but once "in` and the person becomes*valuable their salary potential will rise dramatically. The distinction is this, most entry levelworkers, with and without training, will begin al a relatively low salary, but those with a backgroundand training from a program like this, will see their salary potential take-off and the non-trainedworker's salary will remain relatively level.
Marilyn Kolesar referenced importance of assuring career counseling for students on salaries sothat all would know what to expect.
Watt Helmick government jobs will begin at about GS-5 level. Also, small industries will be theones who can take advantage of the people trained through this program, once workers becomespecialized, they will see a jump in pay. People will be working toward job security over the longhaul.
R. Steve George agreed with Walt and added that practical skills are needed in a small business.He suggested advanced skills certifications in areas such as transfer of fluids, field applications,basic electrical work, etc. If there was a way to add some things to the program without gettingrid of anything, I'd like to see students know something about plumbing, electricity, power sources,how to make simple repair In the field, troubleshooting... people in the trades need to know whatto do if something goes wrong." [General discussion followed that centered on the need for .practical, real world skills particularity if the student can show advanced skills certification.]
Marilyn Kolesar physical world skills, workers either get experience on the job or from aprogram like this. [Reading from the catalogue Construction Management Technology at NorthLake College, agricultural mechanics is already in place, the blueprint of the course is for 2 hrs. (1lecture, 2 tab.)]
Walt Helmick -- graduates need the ability to run survey equipment and be able to map something.Channelization, where to put the filter, to do this might give the student a little more skill/tlexibilityin which to work. Idea could be incorporated into advanced skills certificate.
Because ot time constraints Linda Lee noted the need to wrap-up the meeting. Her statement wasinterrupted by comments of congratulations to the team of Connie Hendrickson, Marilyn Kolesar andLinda Lee for their work on the Environmental Tech proq,cam. There were numerous and enthusiasticexpressions of endorsement and support for the curriculum plans as presented.
38
163
In closing, Linda Lee announced that while the work of this con:mittee (the Statewide AdvisoryCommittee for the Environmental Technology Grant) was conclucgig, the work of a new AdvisoryCommittee for the program would begin very soon. That a local advisory committee that was toincluded representatives from business and industry would be assembled in the next few weeks.Linda extended an invitation for members of the Statewide Advisory Committee to considervolunteering to serve and/or recommend possible participants. Responsibilities and anticipated timeinvolvements for the local Advisory Committee to the Environmental Technology program werediscussed.
The Statewide Advisory Committee was again thanked for their splendid, contributions and the meetingwas adjourned.
ABILITY TO PROVIDE INITIAL RESOURCES
The proposed program will have one full-time faculty member who will coordinate the program. Duringthe initial stages of the program, this person will teach introductory courses, but will also beresponsible for marketing the program, making community contacts, arranging cooperative workexperiences sites with local industry, etc. The bulk of the Environmental Technology courses will betaught by adjunct faculty from local industry, businesses, consutting firms, laboratories, and schools.
Existing facilities on the Brookhaven Campus will be used for this program. Core technology classeswill be taught in classrooms in the (1 and K Buildings. A fully equipped computer lab (Science/MathComputer Lab, K121) is available for student use. Laboratory space which was recently renovated islocated in the K Building. The current laboratory, 1(108, contains eight hexagonal student stations,each equipped with wet sink, natural gas, and compressed air. The laboratory, which includes a totalof 1230 square feet, and four exhaust hoods, contains all chemicals, glassware, and small equipmentneeded for the teaching of courses required for this program. The adjacent stockroom and prep areainclude separate specialized storage for hazardous materials, solvents, and acids, as well as referencematerials and sample storage.
During the renovation of the science building, Room 1(116, the classroom adjacent to the laboratory,was planned for future incorporation as laboratory space .

PRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENT
Brookhaven College will work closely with all community manufacturing regulatory agencies, and otherrelated small and large businesses to provide training and educational opportunities. This will includecoordination with other training sources within the area such as the Environmental Protection Agencyand the office responsible for the Occupational Safety and Health Act administration. .Coordinationefforts will be initiated through a letter of announcement after the program is approved. As a result ofthis, companies will be called upon for developing partnerships. There are no external codificationsrequired for the graduates of this program, at this time.
At this time, there are no articulation plans for this program. However, future plans for this programinclude developing a Tech Prep program with Copped ISD. Additionally, other transfer relationshipswill be explored with senior universities.
CURRICULUM DESIGN
The purpose of the program is to train individuals to function as environmental technician. As statedearlier, the primary objectives of the program are: (1) to train individuals to perform testing andanalysis of soil, air, and water samples, (2) apply techniques appropriately to ensure consumer safety,and (3) interpret technical documentation and regulatory statues.
The curriculum was developed in part as the resuk of a DACUM process (Appendix N). OnNovember 4-5, 1993 a DACUM panel was convened for the purpose of identifying the duties and taskperformed by the worker of Field/Laboratory Technician. A listing of the panelist can be viewed inAppendix 0. The duties and task developed from the DACUM were formatted for validation. On April15, 1994 the validation survey was mailed (Appendix 0). A chart of the results can be viewed inAppendix R. During the Spring 1994 semester on March 25 and March 30, 1994; a panel consisting ofchemistry and biology faculty, the Dean of Automotive Technology, and two industry representativewere seated for the purpose of conducting a 'crosswalk' of the duties and tasks identified by the panelof expert workers.
As a result of the "crosswalk" process, eleven new courses were designed.with 4 of the coursessupporting two Advanced Skills Certificates. A matrix of the completed 'crosswalk" can be found inAppendix S.
