Ford ASSET is a joint effort of Ford Motor Company, Renton Technical College, and a sponsoring

Ford or Lincoln dealership. The ASSET program utilizes specific periods (approximately

nine weeks) of classroom/lab instruction alternating with specific periods of full-time work

experience at a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealership.

Technical training on Ford automotive products is provided in all Automotive Service Excellence

(ASE) repair areas plus specific Ford Motor Company Service Technician Specialty Training

certification courses and covers the latest development of Ford technology including: engines,

fuel management, electronics, transmission/ transaxles, brake systems, and air conditioning.

This one-year program is follow-on to the Field Survey Technician certificate program. This

program emphasizes professional land surveying practices to enable graduates to continue

their careers toward their Professional Land Surveyor licenses. Students train on the industry’s

most powerful software for survey reduction, coordinate geometry, and drafting. They also

learn land and field surveying practices, field and office techniques, and the use of a variety of

up-to-date instruments, including total stations with data collectors and GPS. Group laboratory

projects, provided throughout the program, develop leadership skills and awareness.

To earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree, the student must complete all

requirements for the Land Survey Technician certificate program plus all requirements for

the Field Survey Technician certificate program and 15 credits of General Education. Transfer

credits from other institutions are considered upon validation of transcript and coursework.

In this program, the student is trained primarily as the scrub person, and secondarily as a

circulator in a surgery setting. Students also study the allied health areas of endoscopy, labor

and delivery, and sterile processing.  A major portion of the course training occurs in local

hospitals.

The Surgical Technology Student must meet the criteria for each classification of surgical

cases mandated by the accrediting body of Renton Technical Colleges’ Surgical Technology

Program. Students enrolled in SURG 192, SURG 193, SURG 194, SURG 195 and SURG 196 will

be required to have obtained a total of 120 surgical cases. Of the minimum 120 surgical case

requirement, a minimum of 30 surgical cases must be in General Surgery, twenty (20) of these

cases must be in the First Scrub Role. Students are required to complete ninety (90) cases in

various surgical specialties. Sixty (60) of the cases must be in the First Scrub Role and evenly

distributed between a minimum of (5) five surgical specialties. However, fifteen (15) is the

maximum number of cases that can be counted in any one surgical specialty. This is the clinical

case requirement for program completion and graduation.

While students are completing their clinical rotations they will not be receiving any monetary

remuneration during this educational experience, nor will they be substituted for hired staff

personnel within their assigned clinical institution, in the capacity of a surgical technologist.

This program is designed to prepare welders for jobs in manufacturing, fabrication, and

construction trades. This program is comprehensive. Courses include Blueprint Reading and

Layout, Metallurgy for Welders, Applied Mathematics, Shop Safety, and hands-on training in

GMAW, FCAW, SMAW, FTAW, OAW, and thermal cutting. The instruction is individualized and

previous experience determines a student’s starting point. A student’s motivation and ability

to move through the individual objectives will determine completion time. WABO Certification

is available.

This program articulates with Tech Prep programs through the South King County Tech Prep

Consortium.
