1 Dual Enrollment Agreement with DCCC HHS has entered into a Dual Enrollment agreement with Delaware County Community College for eligible students to earn college credits at a fraction of the cost of standard tuition rates, while still attending the high school. Please read carefully: Many Haverford juniors and seniors are on track to complete their required courses/graduation credits prior to their expected graduation date. Increasingly, high schools have been exploring Dual Enrollment agreements with local colleges that permit their students to both try out college courses to determine whether or not this is the right path for them, and/or earn college credits during their high school career, in such courses as College English, College Mathematics, Psychology, Sociology and others. Dual Enrollment programs also encourage more students to continue education beyond high school, and improve student success in the transition from secondary to post-secondary education. The credits you earn through the Dual Enrollment program can be transferred directly into one of the College s associate degree programs. The College offers more than 60 degree programs and has transfer agreements with more than 40 colleges and universities. HHS students would be responsible for all transportation, tuition and fees. Courses will be offered at DCCC s Main Campus on Media Line Rd. Students are responsible for purchasing their own books and supplies. All DCCC services would be available to students: Library, Career Counseling, Computer Labs, etc. Eligible students would be those who are on track to complete all core required classes for graduation, are students in good standing, and have successfully completed all application steps for Delaware County Community College's Dual Enrollment program. After acceptance, students will need to take the College's Accuplacer test or submit qualifying SAT or ACT test scores to waive the Accuplacer test. Participants are selected by the College on demonstrated academic ability and motivation. Accepted students in grades 9-12 can earn up to 21 transferable college credits at almost 70% off the regularly priced tuition. For Questions or further information please ENROLL@DCCC.EDU or call to reach a Delaware County Community College Dual Enrollment advisor. Please discuss your enrollment plans with your counselor, who can answer any questions you may have. As part of the College s pilot program, students will save significantly on tuition costs. Students from sponsoring school districts will pay just $40 per credit. This is almost a 70 percent discount on the College s standard tuition rate. Cost of a Three-Credit Class: Regular Tuition vs. High School Dual Enrollment Standard Rate Special Rate Savings $315 per course $120 per course $195 per course

Students enrolled in this program would leave Haverford High School after 3 rd block on transportation provided by the district. They would attend classes at DCCC until 2:30p.m. and then return to the high school. Each of the three courses in the certificate program would earn three college credits, for a total of nine credits. The cost of the classes would be borne by the district. Students interested in participating in this program should contact their school counselor for further information. COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING, Certificate of Competency Program of Study Attributes: In this program, students will learn to manage computer systems for drawing production, information storage, retrieval and communication in the engineering and design workplace. As they develop computer aided drafting skills, they will explore manufacturing, mechanical, and architectural engineering and construction applications. This program is intended, primarily, to serve as computer training for individuals who have previous experience as manual "board" drafters and who already possess a working knowledge of technical drawings. However, though there is no requirement of prior technical experience, individuals desiring an elementary introduction to the fields of engineering drafting, and design will be well served by this curriculum. All credits earned in this certificate are applicable to the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Advanced Technology Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to: Create two- and three-dimensional technical design models and drawings to document solutions for defined customer problems. Use CAD tools in applying the principles of descriptive geometry and the techniques of graphic construction to the process of documenting design intent. Execute computer generated plane and 3D geometric forms, as well as object viewing techniques, to describe and present a design concept. Apply CAD tools and techniques in the execution of working, multiview, assembly and 3D model drawings.

4 TCC CADD Graphics - September 6, November 4, 2016 This course provides students with the concepts and skills necessary to form the basis of object visualization and documentation inherent to the creation and conveying of technical designs and drawings. Appropriate drafting concepts and skills are developed through use of both free-hand sketching and computer-assisted drafting. Instruction in the use of CADD systems is integrated with graphic theory throughout the course. The course covers theoretical and applied drafting concepts appropriate for conveying graphical representation of objects and designs in a variety of technical environments including manufacturing and construction, as well as architectural, mechanical and civil engineering design. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Demonstrate the principles governing the setup and layout of technical drawings. Discuss the geometric terms and principles used to define, design and represent drawing objects and entities. Apply geometric construction techniques and principles of orthographic and pictorial projection for the representation of basic objects. Perform basic annotation operations. Apply acceptable forms of linework and text in both freehand sketching and CADD. Demonstrate the use of basic office equipment, including computer information systems, for creating, managing, plotting and reproducing technical drawings. TCC Project Management Processes January 2017 March 2017 This course is a general survey of time/event and resource management principles. Time management, group dynamics, operations management and project management are covered.
