EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Associate in Applied Science in Industrial Maintenance Technology


A Proposal for Initiation of a New Degree Program

A. Centrality to the Institution’s Mission and Consistency with State’s Goals

Maysville Community and Technical College (MCTC) is a public, comprehensive, postsecondary institution focused on student success. In support of this mission, the college provides affordable, quality education and training for a diverse community of students. Through student-focused programs and services, MCTC provides students with opportunities for lifelong learning and success through the achievement of certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. As a member of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS), Maysville Community and Technical College has campuses located in Cynthiana, Mt. Sterling, Morehead, and Maysville, KY. The college provides high quality, affordable education and awards certificates, diplomas and associate degrees in technical areas and the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science for those persons transferring to programs at four-year colleges and universities. A strong commitment to community economic development, customized workforce training and adult and continuing education makes the college a vital force in its service areas. The proposed program, with its embedded credentials, addresses the above components of the mission statement. This program conforms to the mission of MCTC by providing workers with technical skills needed to compete and succeed into today’s industrial workforce.

B. Program Quality and Student Success

The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Industrial Maintenance Technology (IMT) program provides graduates with an understanding of the requirements and opportunities in maintenance, good safety practices, pride in workmanship, and an understanding of the principles and accepted practices of the maintenance trade. Graduates may hold positions in factories, power plants, school systems, hospitals, hotels, and other industries where multi-skilled maintenance personnel are needed. Courses in air conditioning, electricity, computerized manufacturing and machining, metal fabrication, and welding are included. Currently, MCTC offers courses and programs in the Industrial Maintenance area.

C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication

Maysville Community and Technical College is approved to offer the diploma and certificates in Industrial Maintenance Technology. The proposed AAS in Industrial Maintenance Technology will provide additional credentials for students. The Kentucky Labor Marking Information (LMI) system data shows that the need for Industrial Machinery Mechanics and Maintenance and Repair Workers, generally is strong or very strong respectively. With projected annual openings of 19 positions through 2020, the supply of talent produced from this program will align well, providing 15-20 new industrial workers each year within our service area. Additionally, industrial machinery mechanics is shown as having a nationally bright outlook in terms of employment, with 11,710 annually. A total of 304 positions are in Kentucky. The US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also believes that machinery mechanics and maintenance workers will be in demand in the future. They project 17 percent growth in employment in this field between 2012 and 2022, and state this growth is “faster than the average for all occupations,” due to the need to replace an aging workforce in this area. Industrial maintenance technicians command a good entry and median wage. In Kentucky, the entry wage is $33,385 ($16.37 per hour) and the median wage is $45,819 ($22.46 per hour). Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (EMSI) puts industrial machinery mechanics in the category of high wage/high demand. Adding the associate’s degree in Industrial Maintenance Technology would enable the college to place more students in this in-demand, high-paying field. The Industrial Maintenance Technology Program enrollments have remained steady over the last couple of years, but MCTC expects the program to grow with the ability to offer the terminal degree. One of the driving factors for requesting this program is in response to meeting local industry needs and requests. A Kentucky Federation of Advanced Manufacturing Education (KY FAME) chapter is being developed in the Maysville/Mt. Sterling/Morehead area, which is in the MCTC service region. The chapter development is being driven by approximately 14 local industries and the TENCO Workforce Investment staff. This is expected to increase the demand for IMT, and there is an expectation that this will increase the number of students enrolled in the AAS Industrial Maintenance program at MCTC. MCTC faculty reports significant student interest for the program. According to the MCTC Director of Workforce Solutions, industry leaders from the local service area are members of various program advisory boards. During advisory board meetings, these industry leaders have shared the need for workers with the skills acquired in the Industrial Maintenance Technology program.

D. Cost and Funding of the Proposed Program

Maysville Community and Technical College currently offers the diploma and certificates in the Industrial Maintenance Technology program. The general education courses needed for the AAS in IMT program are also currently offered at MCTC. Therefore, MCTC has access to facilities, equipment, and faculty needed to support the program. The college plans to utilize additional funding through the increased enrollment of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology track to hire an additional faculty member in support of the KY FAME initiative planned for the Maysville area. MCTC is certain that the combination of Perkins funding, business/industry gifts, and potential TENCO contributions will be more than sufficient to start the program. Student enrollment in a full degree program will provide an avenue for the college to maintain the program in the future.

E. Program Review and Assessment

All academic programs participate in the MCTC program review and evaluation process on an annual basis. The process evaluates program strengths, weaknesses, and needed improvements. The IMT program also has an advisory board consisting of local industry representatives who contribute to the evaluation and review of the program.

F. Conclusion

The proposed AAS degree program is consistent with the missions of KCTCS and Maysville Community and Technical College. The program supports the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda and the statewide strategic implementation plan. There is an approved curriculum for the program. Local and state needs support the establishment of this program. A program evaluation plan is in place, and MCTC has resources available to implement the program.

15. Describe planned alternative methods of program delivery involving greater use of technology, distance education, and/or accelerated degree designs, to increase efficiency, better address student educational and workforce needs, and maximize student success, for both traditional and non-traditional students.

The general education courses required for the program are available via distance learning, including communication, social/behavioral sciences, and heritage/humanities courses. The IMT program utilizes Amatrol, Lab Volt, and other nationally recognized industrial trainers that allow students to have hands-on experience with industrial technology and other educational online resources.


C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication

Proposed programs must respond to the needs of the academy and to larger economic and social environments. Thus, the institution must demonstrate demand for the proposed program. All proposed programs must address student demand. Programs must also address either employer demand or academic disciplinary needs.

1. Student Demand: Clearly describe all evidence of student demand, typically in the form of surveys of potential students and/or enrollments in related programs at the institution. a. Provide evidence of student demand within your area of geographic responsibility as well

as the state and national levels.

Prospective students are very interested in gaining education that leads to a high paying, high demand career in the local area. At this point, fourteen area companies have expressed a strong lack of industrial maintenance technicians and wanting to participate in a “grow your own” program that will produce graduates eligible for industrial maintenance positions. These companies will be recruiting students to fill positions in the AMT Program as part of the KY FAME (Kentucky Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education) initiative. There has already been interest expressed among students in applying for the program and these sponsored apprenticeship positions as part of the AMT program. In addition, the Program Coordinator reports interest in the AAS degree by students who would like to complete a degree in this field or are considering transfer to a four year institution. Finally, industry leaders from our service region are members of program advisory boards. During advisory board meetings, these industry leaders share with us the need for workers with the skills acquired in the Industrial Maintenance Technology program. b. Identify the applicant pool and how they will be reached.

The student pool for this program will include traditional and non-traditional students with an interest in a hands-on entry level positions in industrial maintenance and repair. It will also be of interest to persons who earned the diploma and certificates in the program previously, who want to move up in the company or industry in which they are currently employed.

c. Describe the student recruitment and selection process.

Students are recruited through college recruiters and program personnel will utilize existing marketing avenues to promote the industrial maintenance technology program. College advisors and other key staff in the workforce area will be made aware of the program so that they can inform business/industry entities with whom they make contact of this potential opportunity for their employees.


In addition, companies will be recruiting for their sponsored positions from both their internal employees and external applicants. A major recruiting initiative for this program will focus on graduating high school students as a lucrative career track in a local area. Some of the recruiting strategies will include meetings with counselors to explain the project, open houses for prospective students and parents at sponsoring companies, career days at high schools, etc.

d. Identify the primary feeders for the program.

Primary feeders will be the Area Technology Centers (ATCs) and Career and Technical Centers (CTCs) located in the area school districts. Adult Education Centers and the Career One-Stop Centers will also contribute to the student pool. Employees from current companies will also be a feeder for the program.

e. Provide any evidence of a projected net increase in total student enrollments to the

campus as a result of the proposed program.

While there is a slight increase in enrollment expected in this program, its greater impact will be on the availability of the degree credential to the students currently enrolled in the diploma program and to past graduates wishing to obtain a degree in the Industrial Maintenance Technology field. Additional revenue will be as a result of the increased number of student credit hours required for the degree. f. Project estimated student demand for the first five years of the program.

2. Employer Demand: Clearly describe evidence of employer demand. Such evidence may

include employer surveys, current labor market analyses, and future human resources projections. Where appropriate, evidence should demonstrate employers’ preferences for graduates of the proposed program over persons having alternative existing credentials and employers’ willingness to pay higher salaries to graduates of the proposed program. a. Describe the types of jobs available for graduates, average wages for these jobs, and the

number of anticipated openings for each type of jobs in the institution’s area of geographic responsibility.


The Kentucky Labor Marking Information (LMI) system data shows that the need for Industrial Machinery Mechanics and Maintenance and Repair Workers, generally is strong or very strong respectively. With projected annual openings of 19 positions through 2020, the supply of talent produced from this program will align well, providing 15 - 20 new industrial workers each year within our service area. Additionally, industrial machinery mechanics is shown as having a nationally bright outlook in terms of employment, with 11,710 annually. A total of 304 positions are in Kentucky. Industrial maintenance technicians command a good entry and median wage. In Kentucky, the entry wage is $33,385 ($16.37 per hour) and the median wage is $45,819 ($22.46 per hour).

The US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also believes that machinery mechanics and maintenance workers will be in demand in the future. They project 17% growth in employment in this field between 2012 and 2022, and state this growth is “faster than the average for all occupations,” in part due to the need to replace an aging workforce in this area. Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (EMSI) puts industrial machinery mechanics in the category of high wage/high demand. Adding the associate’s degree in Industrial Maintenance Technology would enable us to place more students in this in-demand and high-paying field.

b. Describe the types of jobs available for graduates, average wages for these jobs, and the

number of anticipated openings for each type of jobs in Kentucky. According to Workforce Kentucky, occupational projections for the estimated number of Installation, Maintenance, and Repair employees employed in Kentucky in 2010 was 83,480. It is projected that in 2020 there will be 95,650. The median wage for industrial machinery mechanics and maintenance workers in manufacturing in Kentucky is $44,021. The number of job openings advertised online in Kentucky for Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Workers and for the related occupational group of Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations is 1060.

c. Describe the types of jobs available for graduates, average wages for these jobs, and the number of anticipated openings for each type of jobs at the national level. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2014-15 Edition, employment of industrial machinery mechanics and maintenance workers is expected to grow 17 percent from 2012-22, faster than average for all occupations. Employment growth will vary by specialty. Applicants with broad skills should have favorable job prospects. Increased adoption of sophisticated manufacturing machinery, automation, including the use of many new computer-controlled machines in factories and manufacturing plants, should spur demand for maintenance workers as they will require more highly skilled mechanics to keep the machines in good working order. Retrieved from Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2014-15 Edition, Industrial Machinery Mechanics and Maintenance Workers and Millwrights, at: Source: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/installation-maintenanceand-repair/industrial-machinery-mechanics-and-maintenance-workers-and-millwrights.htm

3. Academic Disciplinary Needs: Clearly describe all evidence justifying a new program

based on changes in the academic discipline or other academic reasons. a. If the proposed program is an advanced credential (diploma to AAS), explain the new

practice or licensure requirements in the profession and/or requirements by specialized accrediting agencies that necessitate a new program. Increased adoption of sophisticated manufacturing machinery, automation, including the use of many new computer-controlled machines in factories and manufacturing plants, should spur demand for maintenance workers, as they will require more highly skilled mechanics to keep the machines in good working order.

4. Similar programs: A similar program is defined as a program with the same or closely

related CIP code at the same degree level. A proposed program will not be considered unnecessarily duplicative if it serves a different student population than existing programs and/or if its curriculum is distinctive from that of existing programs at other public institutions in Kentucky. a. Identify similar programs in other SREB states and in the nation.

b. If CPE records indicate similar programs exist in Kentucky, does the proposed program differ from existing programs in the state? If yes, please explain. Industrial Maintenance Technology AAS programs are located at the following KCTCS colleges: Bluegrass Community and Technical College Elizabethtown Community and Technical College Gateway Community and Technical College Henderson Community College Jefferson Community and Technical College Somerset Community College Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College West Kentucky Community and Technical College

c. Does the proposed program serve a different student population (i.e., students in a different geographic area) from existing programs? If yes, please explain. Yes. MCTC serves a 19 county service area and has the Manufacturing Industrial Technology: Electrical Technology and Industrial Maintenance Technology Diploma Programs. Bluegrass Community and Technical College and Gateway Community and Technical College both offer the Associate Degree in Industrial Maintenance Technology, but these programs are both more than 60 miles away making it impractical for students to gain access to these programs.

d. Is access to existing programs limited? If yes, please explain. Yes. The geographic location of the other programs limits access by MCTC students.

e. Is there excess demand for existing similar programs? If yes, please explain. This question is not applicable to the MCTC proposal.


f. Is there collaboration between the proposed program and existing programs?

Yes. KCTCS has developed policies for cooperative efforts between KCTCS colleges, such as the Policy on Collaboration Program Development (9/16/98, revised 12/5/03, 6/12/09, 6/15/12), which ensures that collaborative program development processes shall meet criteria specified by the accrediting bodies of the respective community and technical colleges and any required programmatic standards, and the Policy for Consortial Relationships and Contractual Agreements (Credit Courses or Programs) (5/27/99, revised 1/4/07, 11/20/09), which ensures that agreements meet the accreditation requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).


D. Cost and Funding of the Proposed Program

The resource requirements and planned sources of funding of the proposed program must be detailed in order to assess the adequacy of the resources to support a quality program. This assessment is to ensure that the program will be efficient in its resource utilization and to assess the impact of this proposed program on the institution’s overall need for funds. 1. Will this program require additional resources? Y or N. If yes, provide a brief summary of

additional resources that will be needed to implement this program over the next five years. No additional resources will be required.

2. Will this program impact existing programs and/or organizational units within your institution? If yes, please describe the impact. Yes. The current diploma program in Industrial Maintenance Technology requires six credit hours of general education courses. When the associate degree program is approved for Industrial Maintenance Technology, the student will have to complete an additional 12 credit hours of general education. Sufficient general education course offerings already exist to support this program.

3. Provide adequate documentation to demonstrate sufficient return on investment to the state to

offset new costs and justify approval for the proposed program.

Because the proposed program is an extension of an existing program, there are no new costs for implementation. Further, because the proposed program will better meet the needs of the industry sector, Maysville Community and Technical College anticipates an increase in enrollment, student credit hours, and tuition generated.

Cost/Funding Explanation

The funding sources and breakdown of budget expenses/requirements are located in Appendix B– New Program Budget Calculation Sheet.


E. Program Review and Assessment Describe program evaluation procedures for the proposed program. These procedures may include evaluation of courses and faculty by students, administrators, and departmental personnel as appropriate. Program review procedures shall include standards and guidelines for the assessment of student outcomes implied by the program objectives and consistent with the institutional mission.

1. For each assessment method, please provide indicators of achievement and frequency of data collection:

a. Which components will be evaluated? MCTC evaluates all technical programs annually. These annual reviews include assessment of the program competencies (both internal and external, direct and indirect), program and class enrollment, faculty usage, and evaluation of overall strengths and weaknesses. Faculty are evaluated by students annually and receive colleague evaluations and are evaluated by their supervisors annually using the KCTCS Planning and Performance document.

b. When will the components be evaluated?

Annual program evaluations are due to the Chief Academic Officer at the end of May every academic year for review. Analysis for suggested areas of improvement are guided by the CAO during the summer for implementation the following fall. Student evaluations of faculty are undertaken in the fall and also in the spring for new faculty as per KCTCS policy. Peer and supervisor evaluations occur in the spring.

c. When will the data be collected?

Assessment of program components are reviewed throughout the academic year by the program coordinator. Data for faculty, peer and supervisor evaluations are collected through defined windows at appropriate times.

d. How will the data be collected? Program competency data will be collected by the program coordinator and drawn from a variety of sources including use of assignments, exams or other assessment instruments as deemed appropriate by the program coordinator. This program will also use the national NOCTI exam for MIT Electrical Technology as an external assessment tool. Other data items required by the annual program review will be collected as needed by the program coordinator.

Student evaluations of teaching are conducted using an online survey. Although the survey is online class time is set aside to provide students the opportunity to complete the survey. Responses are collected and summarized in the office of Institutional Effectiveness and distributed to supervisors and faculty.


e. What will be the benchmarks to be achieved? Benchmarks include passage of the NOCTI exam and a majority of students meeting the established benchmark for other internal assessment of program competencies. (These may include pre/posttest of skills and knowledge, evaluation of class assignments, or other internal measures of program competency achievement as deemed appropriate by the program coordinator.) The Benchmark for colleague and supervisor evaluation is considered to be an overall score of “meets expectations” (a four on a five point scale).

f. What individuals or groups will be responsible for data collection? Program Coordinators are responsible for collecting all data necessary to complete annual program reviews including measurements of student achievement in program competencies.

The Director of Institutional Effectiveness is responsible for coordinating students’ evaluations of teaching, and the office of Academic Affairs is responsible for coordinating colleague evaluations.

g. How will the data and findings be shared with faculty? Once collected and summarized, student evaluations of teaching are uploaded into secure folders on Maysville Community and Technical College’s internal evaluation website which can be accessed by the faculty member and their supervisor for review.

The Division Chairperson and the Chief Academic Officer review the colleague and performance evaluation and make a determination of overall job performance which is shared with the faculty member.

h. How will the data be used for making programmatic improvements? The Chief Academic Officer reviews all annual program evaluations and works with the Program Coordinator and Division Chairperson to address any needed changes in the program.

2. What are the measures of teaching effectiveness?

Faculty are evaluated annually through the KCTCS Planning, Performance, and Evaluation (PPE) process. The process involves initial agreement of the faculty member and supervisor, a mid-year review of progress, and a final performance review and assignment of a rating. Additionally, students are encouraged to complete an evaluation of instruction in every course each semester. Students access this survey online.


3. What efforts to improve effectiveness will be pursued based on these measures?

The PPE process requires identification of areas of strength and areas needing improvement. This allows plans for improvement in needed areas to be carried forward within the plans for the next year.

4. What are the plans to evaluate students’ post-graduate success?

Program coordinators and the Director of Institutional Effectiveness follow-up with program graduates. Also, a survey is sent to employers of graduates inquiring about graduate performance and their employer satisfaction with graduates. External evaluation will occur through a community-based advisory committee for the Industrial Maintenance Technology program. The advisory committee provides input regarding workforce needs and expectations of employers in the field. This group of experts will be crucial to the continuous improvement of the program. Most advisory committees have at least one student and one graduate of the program as members.
