FUND: SWP REGIONAL SHARE (40%), YEAR: 2016-17 PRODUCED: JUL 20 2017 11:41 PM Bachelor of Science Industrial Automation Collaborative Description DESCRIPTION: Development of a regional collaborative group to align and articulate the lower division electronics courses required for admission to the Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Automation at Bakersfield College. The group will meet regularly via conference calls and participate together in the Industrial Automation Advisory Committee meetings for the baccalaureate degree. INDUSTRY SECTORS: Global Trade & Logistics; Advanced Manufacturing; Energy, Construction & Utilities; START DATE: Fri Jul 01 2016 END DATE: Sun Jun 30 2019 LEAD INSTITUTION: Bakersfield College READ THE SWP LEGISLATION: Yes MEETS REQUIREMENTS OF SWP LEGISLATION: Yes WHAT NEED DOES THIS PROJECT ADDRESS? The San Joaquin Valley has a large base of production and logistics facilities serving industry sectors ranging from agricultural, manufacturing, transportation to energy. All of these industry sectors utilize automated processes requiring a workforce trained in mechatronics or industrial automation. Thus, precipitating the need for a highly skilled automation workforce. Currently, the valley has 154 annual openings in positions requiring degrees or certificates in automation related fields. HOW DOES THIS PROJECT MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR REGION'S LABOR MARKET? The region s labor market data indicates demand for automation related positions outweighs supply in the region. Strengthening the pathway via curricular alignment and articulation will increase the number of community college students earning certificates, associate degrees and baccalaureate degrees, subsequently preparing them for employment in automation related industries. HOW DOES THIS PROJECT ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS? To meet the workforce demand, this proposal will address building capacity for a cohesive academic pathway in industrial automation with a stackable design of certificates, associates degrees and baccalaureate degree. Planned activities include curricular alignment of lower division electronics or manufacturing technology programs, development of stackable certificates and the associate degree in industrial automation, articulation of the lower division technical courses required for the Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Automation at Bakersfield College, and regional participation in the Industrial Automation Advisory Committee at Bakersfield College. HOW DOES THIS PROJECT ADDRESS THE PRIORITIES ESTABLISHED BY YOUR REGION? The Advanced Manufacturing Sector, in which Industrial Automation is included, is designated as a priority by the Central Valley Region. Contacts Labor Market Information Page 1 of 9

In addition, stipends will be provided for faculty members for collaboration with other colleges in the region and curricular alignment to meet the goals of the work plan. Other investments will be made for travel and training as well as supplies to align coursework at partner colleges. For those colleges that develop new courses or programs there will be a resulting increase in enrollments. At Bakersfield College the lower division electronics courses and existing A.S. degree in Industrial Technology, Electronics Option is under the 0934.00 TOPS Code. The Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Automation is under CIP 15.0406 (Automation Engineer Technology/Technician) which is cross-walked to the 0935.00 TOPS Code. The A.S. degree in Industrial Automation will be under the 0935.00 TOPS Code. Clovis Community College intends to use these regional funds to develop a stack able certificate and Degree program in Mechatronics, align curriculum with partner colleges, provide professional development opportunities for regional faculty, and participate in regional Advanced Manufacturing Advisory Board activities.
