New Business
a)
Business and Technology/ELCT
Course Revision
: ELCT 108 General Blueprint Reading and Design, change from 1 hour of
lecture and 6 hours of lab, to 3 hours of lecture and no lab. It is unrealistic to expect students
to learn to draw the blueprints in Drafting in a 6 class hour lab, yet expect the student to need
7 class hours to learn to read them.
b)
Business and Technology/ELCT
Course Title Change:
Change the title of ELCT 108 General Blueprint Reading and Design
to ELCT 108 Basic Blueprint and Design to better reflect the needs of the students in this
class. This class is a more basic overall blueprint reading that is non-specific toward a given
field, the name change will better reflect the class.
c)
Business and Technology/ELCT
Change the requirements for the certificate in ELCT:
Add ELCT-108: General
Blueprint Reading and Design
or
CIVT-110: Construction Graphics and Blueprint Reading.
Either course may be used to successfully complete the Certificate of Technical Studies in
Electrical Technology.

Procedural Revision for the General Studies Degree Program:
Change the second
paragraph (page 157, 2005-2006 College Catalog) to read:
“The General Studies program
provides opportunities for students to follow a pre-baccalaureate course if study in several
academic areas. With an advisor, an educational plan is developed for the selected course of
study. Student must declare a major in General Studies prior to enrolling in the last fifteen
(15) semester hours of coursework.”
The catalog currently reads:
“The General Studies Program provides opportunities for
students to follow a pre-baccalaureate course of study in several academic areas. At the end
of the first year or upon completion of twenty-four (24) hours semester hours, students must
choose an area of concentration. With their advisor, an educational degree plan is then
developed for the selected course of study.”
