Aerospace Science Department
Colorado is one of the nation's important aerospace centers. Military installations, major aerospace industries, increased interest in private and corporate flying and the airlines that serve Denver provide many employment opportunities. The local
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other government offices are excellent sources of information. Because of this proximity, students have the opportunity to visit these facilities and to take courses that are taught by personnel from the various organizations. The bachelor degree programs described below have been carefully planned to meet the needs of the student and the industry. All of the technical courses have been developed in cooperation with the FAA and prospective employers. Students who have completed these courses are eligible to take a variety of FAA examinations leading to certification.

The aviation management degree program prepares graduates to enter administrative positions within the various segments of the aviation industry. The program is accredited by the Council of Aviation Accreditation.

Airframe and powerplant (A&P) courses are not offered by MSCD. However, students holding a valid FAA airframe and powerplant certificate from a recognized Part 147 school may apply for 25 hours of credit toward a bachelor of science degree, provided that certain validation papers are presented with the application and a comprehensive exam is passed.

The department includes the World Indoor Airport (WIA), a unique flight simulation laboratory. The WIA is an integrated flight and air traffic control simulator lab with fixed base operator and flight service station services available. A crew resource management lab and student computer tutorial lab make up the other components of the WIA.

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Science
The Aerospace Science Department offers baccalaureate degree programs with majors in the following areas:

Aviation Management (AMG) Aviation Technology (ATV)
General Aviation/Air Carrier Concentration (AMG5) Air Carrier/General Aviation Concentration Airway Science Management Concentration (AMG2) (ATV1)

Airway Science Maintenance Management Concentration Aircraft Systems Management Concentration (AMG4) (ATV2)

Minors
Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics (APL) Private Pilot (PRP)
Aviation Management (AMG) Aviation Technology (ATV)

These programs combine a thorough, practical, and technical training background with a general college education to prepare the graduate for a wide variety of careers in the aerospace industry. These four-year bachelor degree programs have been developed in the two-plus-two concept (a bachelor of science degree program built upon an associate of applied science two-year degree). This concept makes it easy for a community/junior college graduate in an aerospace program to transfer to MSCD and earn a bachelor of science degree in the college's aviation program. In order to be awarded the bachelor of science degree, the student must meet the college's general requirements for the bachelor's degree listed in this Catalog under Requirements for All Bachelor's Degrees.

FAA-Approved Ground School
MSCD's Aerospace Science Department is a fully certified and FAA-approved ground school for the private, instrument, commercial and flight and ground instructor FAA certificates and ratings. Veterans Administration flight students should see the Aerospace Science Department chair for information on approved flight training programs.

Flight Courses
Flight training is arranged by the student. Students must receive permission from the Aerospace Science Department before enrolling in flight courses. The cost of flight training is in addition to regular tuition and college services fees. This cost varies depending upon how frequently the student is able to fly during the semester and how much time is required to become proficient. The college instructor helps the student achieve an understanding of the relationship of flight theory to flight practice in order to acquire the knowledge required to meet FAA certification standards.

Students receiving Financial Aid assistance who are taking flight training for credit must make arrangements with the flight training schools contracted by The Metropolitan State College of Denver. Students not receiving Financial Aid assistance can obtain their FAA flight certificates from any approved FAA training program and submit the certificates in order to graduate.

Because MSCD does not currently have contracts with VA-approved flight schools, students receiving VA benefits cannot receive any academic credit for the flight training courses.

Credit by Examination Procedures
The basic provision for obtaining credit-by-examination (a maximum of 30 semester hours of credit) is outlined in this Catalog under Academic Information. The following procedures are established by the Aerospace Science Department to implement this provision:

• Students entering MSCD for the first time must apply for credit by examination during the first three weeks of the first semester. All examinations must be completed within the first semester.
• Students will not be approved to take an examination for a course with a lower number than any course they have taken previously.
• Students who are registered for but have not completed a higher-numbered course must complete the examination for the lower-numbered course within the first three weeks of the semester.
• Examinations will not be graded during the summer session.
• Courses authorized for credit by examination and the appropriate FAA license or rating follow:

Credit For Airframe and Powerplant Certificate
Students seeking credit for their A&P certificate must provide a copy of their certificate, a copy of the certificate of completion from the school where it was obtained, and beginning and ending dates of A&P school attendance. Students must also take three pass/fail examinations through the Aerospace Science Department.

There will be no extra tuition charge for the 25 credits, which can be applied to a student's transcript.

Credit is not automatically given for the A&P certificate. Students will be allowed to test as follows:

• General test-5 credit hours-pass/fail (Students can proceed to either of the next two examinations only if the general test is passed.)
• Airframe-10 credit hours
• Powerplant-10 credit hours

The maximum amount of credits that can be earned is 25. Credit will be given individually for examinations two and three. If a student fails either the airframe examination or the powerplant examination, the department will determine which additional courses should be taken, and a maximum of 15 credits will be applied toward the major degree.

Air Force ROTC
Air Force ROTC (UC-B) Folsom Stadium, 218

Boulder, Colorado 80309
303-492-8351

U.S. Air Force ROTC offers several programs leading to a commission in the U.S. Air Force upon receipt of at least a baccalaureate degree.

Standard Four-Year Program
This program is in three parts: the General Military Course (GMC) for lower-division students; the Professional Officer Course (POC) for upper-division students; and the Leadership Laboratory (LLAB), attended by all cadets. Completion of the GMC is a prerequisite for entry into the POC. Completion of a four-week summer training course is required prior to commissioning.

Modified Two-Year Program
This program is offered to full-time, regularly enrolled degree students. It requires at least two years of full-time college (undergraduate or graduate level, or a combination). Those selected for this program must complete a six-week field-training program during the summer months as a prerequisite for entry into the POC the following fall semester.

Leadership Lab
All AFROTC cadets must attend LLAB (one and one-half hours per week). The laboratory involves a study of Air Force customs and courtesies, drills and ceremonies, career opportunities, and the life and work of an Air Force junior officer.

Other AFROTC Programs
Other programs are frequently available based on current Air Force needs. Any AFROTC staff member in Boulder at 303-492-8351 can discuss the best alternatives. Interested students should make initial contact as early as possible because selection is on a competitive basis. There is no obligation until a formal contract is entered.

Air Force College Scholarship Program
Students participating in Air Force ROTC may be eligible to compete for Air Force ROTC college scholarships. Students selected for this program are placed on scholarships that pay tuition, book allowances, nonrefundable educational fees, and a subsistence of $150 per month, tax-free. All cadets enrolled in the POC receive a $150 per month subsistence during the regular academic year. Two- and three-year scholarships are available to both men and women in all academic disciplines. In addition, there are special programs for minority students.

Flight Opportunities
Prior to entering the fourth year of the AFROTC program, qualified AFROTC students can compete for pilot allocations. Cadets are eligible to fly with the Civil Air Patrol as ROTC members.

USAF Medical Programs
Qualified pre-med or nursing students can compete for pre-med or nursing scholarships and programs. These scholarships and programs can lead to a rewarding career as an Air Force officer, serving as a doctor or nurse.

AFROTC Course Credit
AFROTC courses are worth 16 credit hours toward graduation.

Registration
Students who wish to register for AFROTC classes sign up for them through the normal course registration process. AFROTC classes begin with the AFR prefix.

Military Science (Army ROTC)
Army ROTC (UC-B)
University of Colorado at Boulder
Campus Box 370
Boulder, Colorado 80309
(303) 492-6495

The United States Army offers a variety of scholarships and programs leading to a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army after receipt of a baccalaureate or graduate degree. Students from Denver area colleges attend classes at the Auraria Campus and at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden.

Standard Four-Year Program
The Basic Course taken during the Freshman and Sophomore years is designed to introduce students to the Army. A variety of subjects such as first aid, land navigation and military history are covered. Junior and Senior students participate in Advanced Course classes and focus on leadership, Army doctrine, and the transition from student/cadet to Lieutenant. All students participate in a leadership laboratory one day per week. Completion of a six-week summer camp, usually between the Junior and Senior years is required.

Two-Year Program
Under this program students may enter the Advanced Course during their Junior year without participating in the Basic Course. They receive credit for the Basic Course by attending a five-week summer camp between their Sophomore and Junior years or receive credit for prior military experience.

Army ROTC Scholarship Program
The Army currently offers two, three and four-year scholarship opportunities, based on individual qualifications. In addition to tuition and fee assistance, students are eligible for a book stipend and $150 per month subsistence payments during the school year.

Army ROTC Course Credit
Army ROTC serves as elective credit in most departments. Exact course credit for Army ROTC classes will be determined by your individual academic advisor.

Registration
Students desiring to register for Army ROTC should contact the recruiting officer at CU-Boulder at 303-492-3549 for more details.

Civil Engineering Technology Program
The specialized fields within civil engineering technology include programs in civil engineering technology, drafting, and surveying. The surveying program is a separate, specialized four-year program. The individual curriculum requirements are listed separately.

Civil engineering technology graduates apply engineering principles in performing many of the tasks necessary for the planning and construction of highways, buildings, railroads, bridges, reservoirs, dams, irrigation works, water systems, airports, and other structures. In planning for a construction project, they may participate in estimating costs, preparing specifications for materials, and in surveying, drafting, and design work. During the construction phase, they work closely with the contractor and the superintendent in scheduling field layout, construction activities, and the inspection of the work for conformity to specifications. In recent years, a major work area for civil and environmental engineering technology has involved environmental problems. This includes design and construction of water supply facilities, design of wastewater collection and treatment facilities. The development of environmental impact studies and environmental impact statements are also included.

Students must meet the following curriculum requirements for the various degrees, minors, and concentrations.

For every CET and SUR course, a minimum grade of "C" is required before a student can progress.

For Surveying and Mapping, please see page 219 of this Catalog.

Civil Engineering Technology Major for Bachelor of Science
The four-year bachelor of science degree is awarded upon completion of the required courses and a construction or structures concentration. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

The present and future needs of U.S. society require greater numbers of highly educated people in criminal justice agencies at all levels of government. Criminal justice employers demand applicants who have had professional education. There is considerable interest among criminal justice practitioners to increase professionalism through education. The curriculum provides quality criminal justice education and prepares students interested in the study of police, law enforcement, probation and parole, corrections, juvenile agency work, criminal justice administration and private/corporate security. Course offerings within these professional fields are related to other programs at the college, including human services, business and the social sciences.

Criminal Justice and Criminology Major for Bachelor of Science
The bachelor of science in criminal justice and criminology is designed to provide professional courses as well as a broad general education. The curriculum is structured for the student seeking either preservice or in-service education. Recognizing that many people who are interested in such education are already employed in some form of criminal justice work, and that many people have completed coursework at the community college level, the department has developed a four-year program that provides comprehensive fundamental subjects in the first two years (lower-division) and advanced, specialized or administrative subjects in the second two years (upper-division). The curriculum is structured to facilitate transfer from two-year police science/criminal justice programs. The department has an articulation agreement with the Colorado Community College System. The articulation agreement states that if a transfer student has completed the total basic requirements at any accredited Colorado community college, Metropolitan State College of Denver will consider the student's General Studies requirements completed.

Students must meet the college's requirements for the bachelor's degree including General Studies. they should consult with a faculty advisor regarding General Studies courses and the selection of criminal justice electives. The department recommends the following General Studies courses: BIO 1000, Human Biology for Non-Majors; PSY 1001, Introductory Psychology; and SOC 1010, Introduction to Sociology. A minor is not required.

Education
The underlying theme of the teacher education program is The Teacher as a Decision Maker in Diverse Contexts. Students' programs include General Studies, majors and minors in academic disciplines, and teacher licensure coursework. All courses and field experiences expose students to a wide variety of content theories, models, and practices that will develop decision-making skills as teachers and enable teacher candidates to work with a wide range of students in a broad spectrum of settings. As they enter teaching, graduates will have the knowledge to teach state and national standards in the various content areas and to demonstrate skill in all professional licensure standards for teachers. Coursework and experiences are guided by the following:

• The practices of effective, decision-making teachers are grounded in philosophical beliefs, research, and theory.
• Decision-making teachers must be lifelong learners who recognize the needs of a diverse and changing society.
• The integration and application of knowledge from general education, academic specialization, and professional studies contribute to the development of effective teachers.
• Effective teachers are best prepared through extensive participation in a variety of teaching models and in a range of clinical and field experiences.
• Decision-making teachers effectively use reflective and critical thinking to translate theory into practice.

The teacher education program is the professional education area of the Professional Education Unit (PEU), consisting of faculty in the Schools of Professional Studies; Letters, Arts and Sciences; and Business. The program is fully accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Colorado Department of Education.

The teacher education program prepares students to teach. Academic departments in the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and in the School of Professional Studies prepare students with the content knowledge to teach. The Department of Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education and the Secondary Education Department offer teacher education courses, clinical experiences, and student teaching. The Reading program offers required professional courses for students in early childhood education, elementary education, and secondary education. The Reading program also offers a minor. The completion of a licensure program, in addition to the completion of a bachelor's degree in an approved major, prepares students to apply to the Colorado Department of Education for teacher licensure at designated grade levels.

The particular sequence of education courses to be taken is determined by the level at which a student wishes to teach. The education courses may be taken along with the bachelor's degree program or after the degree program has been completed. Licensure is granted by the Colorado Department of Education, based on recommendation by the director of the Office of Clinical Services, approval of appropriate documents, and payment of assessment fees. Students receive endorsements in the level and/or subject area in which they are qualified to teach. The teacher education program also provides outreach to in-service teachers, including first-year assistance, mentor training, and summer workshops.

Note: Every degree-seeking student must meet all requirements of the bachelor's degree program, including an approved major, a minor (in most cases), and the college's General Studies program as outlined in this Catalog under the chosen major. There is a list of approved majors or subject area endorsements to choose from (see below). PLEASE CONSULT WITH A FACULTY ADVISOR FOR GUIDANCE IN THE APPROPRIATE SELECTION OF A MAJOR, A MINOR, AND GENERAL STUDIES COURSES.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE AND CURRENTLY-ENROLLED STUDENTS WHO PLAN
TO ENROLL IN A TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAM

Pursuant to Senate Bill 99-154, which was enacted as law on June 1, 1999, every institution of higher education in Colorado, including Metropolitan State College of Denver, is revising its teacher preparation programs to meet new statutory and regulatory requirements. The new requirements apply to the following teacher preparation programs at MSCD:

EARLY CHILDHOOD LICENSURE with the following majors:
English, Mathematics, African American Studies, Speech Communication,History, Chicano Studies, Behavioral Science

ELEMENTARY LICENSURE with the following majors:
English, Mathematics, African American Studies, Speech Communication, Sociology, Spanish, Behavioral Science, Biology,
History, Chicano Studies, Environmental Science, Land Use

SECONDARY LICENSURE with the following endorsements using the major(s) indicated:
Endorsement in English: English
Endorsement in Mathematics: Mathematics
Endorsement in Science: Biology or Physics or Land Use or Environmental Science
Endorsement in Foreign Language: Spanish or Modern Languages
Endorsement in Speech: Speech Communication
Endorsement in Social Studies: History or Political Science or African American Studies or Chicano Studies or Behavioral Science
Endorsement in Technology Education: Industrial & Technical Studies

SPECIAL EDUCATION LICENSURE
See department advisor for information regarding approved majors.

 K-12 LICENSURE with the following endorsements using the major indicated:
Endorsement in Art: Art
Endorsement in Music: Music Education
Endorsement in Physical Education: Human Performance and Sport (Includes licensure for K-6 and 7-12)

OTHER ENDORSEMENT: Bilingual (English or Spanish major)

The State Board of Education and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) will review all teacher preparation programs in Colorado between July 1, 2000 and July 1, 2001 to determine if they meet the new requirements. Any teacher preparation program that fails to do so will not be approved and may be discontinued by the CCHE. Major programs will not be discontinued as part of this review.

Because Metropolitan State College of Denver's revised teacher preparation program curricula were not finalized at the time this Catalog went to press, and because MSCD cannot guarantee that its teacher preparation programs will be approved by the CCHE, prospective and enrolled students are hereby notified that any of the above-listed teacher preparation programs may be discontinued by the CCHE on July 1, 2001. Students who are enrolled at MSCD and admitted to one of the above-listed teacher preparation programs prior to July 1, 2001 will be permitted to complete the program to which they were admitted although some course requirements may be modified after they are admitted to the program. If a teacher preparation program is discontinued, students in that program must complete the teacher preparation program's requirements no later than June 30, 2005 to be eligible for licensure as teachers. Otherwise, to be eligible for licensure as teachers, students must enroll in and complete an approved teacher education program at MSCD or another institution.

Discontinuation of a teacher preparation program with specific majors and minors does not mean that the major and minor programs will be discontinued. Students may still receive their bachelor's degree in the major and minor they were pursuing. Students planning to enroll in a teacher education program or seeking teacher licensure are urged to maintain regular contact with both their major advisor and their teacher preparation advisor to learn of the status of their MSCD teacher preparation program.

Provisional Admission
A provisional admission card will be issued to all entering students in the appropriate education department office or in the initial education class in which they are enrolled. With provisional admission, students are assigned an education advisor to consult during the first semester and who will remain their advisor throughout the program. Also, during the first semester, students should begin to develop a program plan and begin their teacher candidate portfolio. Students should also begin working with an advisor in their major area. Provisional admission is valid for one semester only. After provisional admission has expired, formal admission requirements must be met.

Formal Admission
By the end of their first semester in the professional teacher preparation sequence, students must meet the following requirements for formal admission to the program. Students may not take additional teacher education courses until they meet these requirements. All requirements for formal admission must be met before the first day of the second semester of professional education classes. Faculty advisors are available to provide additional explanation of requirements listed.

• Students must have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 on their most recent 30 semester hours of coursework completed at a regionally accredited institution of higher education. Early childhood licensure candidates who have not accrued 30 hours of college credit must have a minimum of 12 semester hours of college work.
• Students must demonstrate competence in oral expression. Students seeking bachelor's degrees should present evidence that they passed a college-level public speaking course with a grade of "B" or above. Students who earn a "C" may take an oral examination. Students who have bachelor's degrees but did not complete a public speaking course with a grade of "B" or above may take an oral examination.
• Students must complete and verify 50 clock hours of successful experience working with children or youth of the age they intend to teach.
• Students must submit the application for admission to the teacher education program to the appropriate education epartment office with the appropriate advisors' authorizing signatures and copies of transcripts of all college work.

• Students must take the PLACE basic skills test.
• Transfer students may request consideration of education courses less than 7 years old that are a close match to MSCD's professional courses. Students should see an education advisor to assess which courses taken previously may be applied to teacher licensure.
• A student who has taken a licensure course at another institution must have left that institution in good standing and be eligible to return to that licensure program.
• Documentation of attendance at advising orientation for early childhood, elementary and special education programs.
• Secondary education students must provide evidence of an initial meeting with a major advisor.

Minors
The minor that a teacher education student chooses fulfills the requirements for the bachelor's degree program. No minor is required as part of the teacher education program. However, the following minors are offered by the Department of Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education: early childhood education, special education/gifted education, parent education and bilingual/bicultural education. The Reading program offers the reading minor. To satisfy the minor requirements for the bachelor's degree program, a student may choose one of these minors or one of the other minors described in this Catalog. Students are advised to take a minor that is also a teaching field. Secondary licensure students may pursue these two professional minors: special education/gifted education and reading.

Bilingual/Bicultural Education Minor
The teacher education program offers a minor in bilingual/bicultural education, an interdisciplinary program sponsored by the Chicano Studies, Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education, Modern Languages Departments, and Reading program. The principal objective of the bilingual/bicultural minor is to prepare future teachers to meet the needs of all students, particularly the linguistically different student. Among other goals, this minor prepares teachers to conduct all phases of classroom instruction in a bilingual and bicultural setting and to ensure the development of English language literacy. In the developmental sequence, the minor provides the potential teacher with a background of Mexican heritage and an understanding of present-day Hispanic/Chicano culture.

Proficiency in the Spanish language is required of all students before they complete the minor. This proficiency prepares the teacher to understand and further develop the native tongue of bilingual children while offering a second language to many other children. In addition, the minor provides the student with sufficient clinical and academic experiences and resources to develop, implement, and evaluate curricular methods, techniques, and materials in the bilingual/bicultural classroom. The practicum in bilingual/bicultural education is required.

Parent Education Minor
The parent education minor is for students entering professions involved with children and families. It provides the necessary knowledge and skills for working with parents. Also, the program addresses a need identified in the community for people with specific preparation for the role of parent educator. Many agencies offer or are interested in offering parent education programs, yet no specific preparation for that role has been available. This minor is designed to make the field of parent education more credible by providing students with education for that role and to give students a set of skills that are increasingly in demand.

The minor is seen as particularly appropriate for students entering family- and child-related fields, including education, health care management, human services, criminal justice (especially juvenile justice), nursing and nurse practitioner programs, psychology, sociology, social welfare, speech, and women's studies. People entering these fields may be in a position to develop and conduct parent education programs; a minor in parent education should serve them well in the employment market. Other fields might also provide opportunities to use this background. Parent education happens in settings ranging from churches to industry and is not limited to educational settings in the usual sense.

The parent education minor encompasses three areas of preparation. One set of classes is intended to give students basic information necessary for effective parenting (child development, parenting techniques, family management and health care). The second facet of the program gives students the skills necessary for developing and conducting parent education programs such as group techniques and program development. The third component of the program entails actual field experience working in parent education programs. This experience is incorporated into a number of classes and is the central component of the final course in the minor. A field placement is required in the last semester. Placement opportunities include parent education in hospitals, social service agencies, public and private schools, and business and industry. Students work closely with a parent education program advisor to ensure an appropriate field placement. For more information 303-556-2759.

Secondary Education Department

Licensure in Secondary and K-12 Education
The Secondary Education Department offers professional preparation for teaching and education-related careers in collaboration with the Reading program and various major departments. This department prepares students to apply to the Colorado Department of Education for provisional teacher licensure to teach in secondary schools (7-12 grades) with endorsements in:

English Modern Languages Social Studies

Industrial Arts   (French, Spanish, German) Spanish

Mathematics Physical Education Speech

Science

The Secondary Education Department, 303-556-6227, also offers a K-12 professional teaching sequence in collaboration with three major departments. These K-12 sequences prepare students to apply for K-12 provisional licensure with endorsements in art, music, or physical education.

All secondary and K-12 students must have two advisors, one in secondary education and one in their major area. All but two of the 12 majors a secondary education student can choose from are found in this Catalog under the major department. Two of the majors, science and social studies, do not match a major found in this Catalog, so they are outlined in this section.

Secondary Professional Education Sequence
An additional program in middle-level education is being proposed, as is a new secondary major in business. Check with the Secondary Education Department for further information. In addition to a major in one of the above areas, and a minor as required, students must complete the following professional course program:

Human Services Department
The face of American society today is drastically different than that of our parents and grandparents. As we move into the 21st century, American themes of competitive individualism, economic pressure, social diversity, and community instability are forcing service providers to grapple with human needs in ways that were not imagined in previous generations. The Human Services Department at The Metropolitan State College of Denver focuses on preparing students for careers in which they face the diverse challenges involved in helping individuals, couples, and families meet the challenges of living.

The human services curriculum prepares students to combine knowledge from the social and behavioral sciences with the art of compassion and understanding to assist people in their lives. Our nationally recognized curriculum, approved by the Council of Standards in Human Service Education and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division of the Colorado Department of Health, provides coursework in assessment, diagnosis, prevention, and intervention of psychological and emotional difficulties. Specifically, the training covers counseling and applied psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups; addiction intervention theory and techniques; domestic violence counseling; and nonprofit administration principles. Particular attention is given to racial, gender, socioeconomic class, and cultural issues in the delivery of human services. Our core curriculum can be supplemented with a concentration in high risk youth, drug and alcohol counseling, domestic violence counseling, or nonprofit organization administration.

Learning opportunities are provided through classroom and field placement experiences. Classes are small and are highly interactive, ensuring a more personalized learning experience. In addition, our nontraditional student population brings a wide range of professional and life experience to the classroom. Field instruction experiences at community agencies further reinforce textbook learning and provide networking opportunities for our students.

Classes are taught by highly qualified instructors who have doctoral and master's degrees in such diverse fields as psychology, social work, theology, education, human communication, nutrition, sociology, and nonprofit organization administration. Instructors in the Human Services Department also have real-life experience as practitioners in a variety of human services. Various state licenses and certifications substantiate their expertise. Committed to teaching excellence, our faculty receive some of the highest student ratings in the college.

Graduates with degrees in human services are qualified to work in a variety of settings, including community health centers, addiction centers, nonprofit organizations, employee assistance programs, religious organizations, and social service agencies. Our program has generated an 87 percent employment rate for our graduates in careers directly related to the major. Many of our graduates go on to complete graduate education in psychology, theology, social work, addiction studies, public administration, or other areas, including business and law.

Regardless of individual career objectives, however, people who major in Human Services are people who want to help others. A bachelor of science degree in Human Services prepares students to become professionals in the art and science of helping others. Students combine the knowledge and experience gained in our program with their own sense of commitment and compassion to make positive contributions to others' lives.

High Risk Youth Concentration
Problems facing today's youth continue to present special challenges for those trying to help them. Substance abuse, violence, teen pregnancy, school dropout, teen suicide, delinquency, gang involvement, family problems, abuse and neglect as well as other problems require professionals to utilize special expertise to build on a youth's strengths and engage him or her in a change-oriented therapeutic and culturally relevant action plan. This concentration prepares the human services professional to work in a variety of high risk youth program locations including outpatient counseling, community-based living or institutional settings. Additionally, high risk youth professionals need sound interdisciplinary skills with which to negotiate complex service delivery systems on behalf of the youth and families they serve. Skills in networking, case planning and management and advocacy are underscored in this concentration. Demand for professionals with interdisciplinary competence in working with youth populations is high. This concentration includes the state required certification program to be an "Alcohol and Drug Prevention Generalist." Students are also encouraged to pursue alcohol and drug certification as part of their degree programs due to the strong overlap between high risk youth behaviors and substance abuse. Many of the required courses to do so are included in the concentration.

Mechanical Engineering Technology Program
The day and evening program is continually upgraded to reflect state-of-the art technology while meeting the needs of industry and employers of the mechanical engineering technology graduates. An advisory committee, which includes employers, graduates, and students of the program, meets with faculty and administrators to review curriculum, student and faculty recruitment, program needs, progress, problems and probable solutions, laboratory equipment, facilities, and to assist in the placement of graduates. The committee assures a high level of community awareness and support of the program.

Graduates enter the engineering profession as engineering technologists. About 15 percent choose to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (F.E.) examination following graduation, to begin the six-year process, as a minimum, to become a registered professional engineer. The latter is often required for forensic (expert witness) and/or consulting work, when the health and safety of the general public are involved. A smaller percentage attend graduate school. The majority obtains gainful employment in a variety of industries ranging from large aerospace companies to small manufacturing and custom-design businesses. Job titles range from technician and engineering technologist to engineer.

The MET program offers the bachelor of science degree, which is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The educational approach is hands-on with 63 percent of the courses requiring laboratory work in addition to lectures. It is structured with two distinct concentrations: manufacturing and mechanical. Students are required to take a four-hour assessment examination prior to graduation. The written exam is given in the Senior Experience course in each concentration.

The MET curriculum is currently being revised. Please check with an advisor about the requirements.

Reading offers two outstanding literacy programs. One program provides for the refinement of critical and analytical reading skills that enable college students to enhance the quality of their undergraduate education. RDG 1510, Cognitive Strategies for Analytical Reading, is designed as a college-level reading course that satisfies a General Studies Level I Communications requirement. RDG 3060, Critical Reading/Thinking, provides further practice in the employment of cognitive strategies to discover fallacies, recognize obstacles to critical thinking, and judge the validity of expository writing. This course satisfies a General Studies Level II Arts and Letters requirement.

The second program is a dynamic minor in reading that prepares students for careers in business, industry, government and education as instructional leaders in literacy programs. The minor includes knowledge of the reading process, factors influencing emergent literacy, preparation and presentation of reading lessons, development of instructional materials, identification of reading disability correlates, assessment and interpretation of test results, and a closely supervised remedial reading tutorial experience. Students planning to complete teacher licensure requirements at all levels are encouraged to elect this minor. Teacher education programs are currently undergoing review and may be modified during 2000-2002. Students seeking teacher licensure should read the teacher licensure sections of this Catalog, pages 172-173, and they should stay in regular contact with their advisors.

Note: A letter grade of at least a "C" must be attained in each of the courses in the reading minor.

Surveying and Mapping

The bachelor of science degree in surveying and mapping is the only one of its kind in Colorado and the region. It prepares graduates for registration as professional land surveyors and for careers in other areas of surveying and mapping or for graduate study. Graduates are in professional-level positions with the Bureau of Land Management and other federal, state, and local government agencies, utilities, and private companies. Several have become officers of their societies (Professional Land Surveyors of Colorado and the Colorado Section of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping). A relatively new employment area for graduates is in land information systems (storing information on land parcels, public utilities, natural resources, etc., in computer systems for recordkeeping and planning purposes).

For every CET and SUR course, a minimum grade of "C" is required before a student can progress.

For Civil Engineering Technology, please see CET.

Technical Communications Department

The Technical Communications Department offers a B.A. degree in Technical Communications with four concentrations and a technical communications minor. The four concentrations are technical writing and editing, corporate communications, technical media and multimedia production. Each concentration offers training in one or more communications areas that are most in demand by industry and government. Technical writing and editing prepares an individual to write, edit, and publish the wide variety of reports, manuals, and other technical or lay publications produced by industry and government. The corporate communications concentration is designed for the person who desires to manage the flow of information within a company, government agency, or between industries and agencies. The technical media concentration meets two needs of industry and government: people prepared to design and implement internal training programs, and people seeking careers to provide technical information through visual media. The multimedia production concentration provides the student with the theory, production and programming practices used in business and industry.

The technical communications minor provides a general background in preparing technical information designed to meet the minimal needs of industry and government, with the opportunity to emphasize the area of most interest to the student. The minor is particularly useful to people majoring in scientific and technological disciplines as a means of expanding their employment skills.

The program welcomes students from the community and other areas of the college whose professional or academic work will benefit from one or more of the program offerings. Students enrolling in one of the major concentrations or the minor must confer with a program advisor because all degree plans are tailored to the career goals of the individual student.

Computerized document processing ability is required of all students majoring or minoring in the technical communications programs. Students can meet this requirement in one of three ways:

• Students can provide documentary evidence of a previous satisfactory completion of an academic or industrial training course in computer literacy and document processing at the time they declare their major or minor.
• Students can enroll in an approved MSCD course in CMS or CSI in the semester following the declaration of their major or minor.
• Students can complete a skills test administered by the program during the semester they declare their major or minor.
• All students majoring in the technical communications program must participate in program assessment. See the department for details.
• An extended major within the Department is possible if a student fulfills all of the following conditions:
• The student has completed an Associate of Arts, Associate of Applied Science or Associate of General Studies Degree from a community college
• The associate degree earned by the student materially augments the concentration selected as a major in Technical Communications
• The curriculum for the associates degree to be used is accepted by the Department
• A 2+2 agreement is in place between the community college granting the degree and the Technical Communications Department.

To complete an extended major the student must fulfill all the requirements specified in any of the Technical Communications concentrations. In addition, the student must fulfill any general studies or multicultural requirements of the College. If an Associate of Arts, Associate of Applied Science or Associate of General Studies degree has not been awarded by a community college, the student cannot take an extended major.
