Minutes from Monday/Tuesday, June 29 & 30, 2009 Kwantlen Polytechnic University – Cloverdale Campus
5500 – 180th St., Surrey, B.C. Room 2112
Present: Graham Huckin, Chair Vancouver Community College (VCC) Joanne Massey, Co-chair Kwantlen Polytechnic University Larry Gritzmaker University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Gabriella Ohlhauser Vancouver Community College (VCC) Mike Whitmore North Island College (NIC) Paul Rodham BC Institute of Technology (BCIT) Anna Trajkovic BC Institute of Technology (BCIT) Darryl Mack BC Institute of Technology (BCIT) Ross Lyle Camosun College (CC) Quincy DeWitt Okanogan Univerity College Paul Morrison BC Institute of Technology (BCIT) Christina Heinrick, Minutes Kwantlen Polytechnic University Welcome and Opening Remarks: Chair, Graham Huckin, called the meeting to order at 8:30am.

Ross made an inquiry into number of hours per week at each institution. Note: report on hours have been added to the Institutional Report. Ross inquired about teaching 2D vs 3D. Mike Whitmore proposed that each institution teach to their industry based on specialty and demographics. Stable employers on the Island, however civil has been affected. Anna Trajkovic – Normally grads obtain work through program, however it is very slow this year. Possibility of 6-7 grads will get work.
Joanne Massey – This year employment rate is bad, but we have seen and experienced worse. Graham Huckin – Globally the economy is bad, not just here as seen in the past. Discussion: AutoCAD (vanilla) is a good generic software that can be built upon in higher level learning or industry. Teach at least one BIM software to help give students a tool as it makes it easier to adapt to other BIM’s in industry or higher-level learning. Break: 10:15 – 10:30 Guest Speaker: Darryl Mack (BCIT) Enrollment Planning Current Project – Working on Articulation and Transfer Credit for BCIT Rationale: Observed changes in student patterns include more students moving from institution to institution, life-long learning habits to acquire and increase credentials. BCIT has been noted to be one of BC’s largest receiving institutions for transfer students. In 2007/2008 BCIT processed 2600 transfer credits without a specific process guideline. Problems: Students could not get information. Process for transfer credit was lengthy, 4-6 weeks to process and 6-8 weeks for final results. Solution: Addressed problems with Articulation and Transfer Credit Project. It included the following steps:
1. Gathered Information from various programs. 2. Collected and recorded data. 3. Put data into Banner system. 4. Published the data and made accessible. 5. Recorded data similar to BCCAT format. 6. Accessible to Program Advisors and students
Foreseeable Outcomes: Transfer credit process will now take 3-5 days. Additional articulations for programs and courses will be immediately applied to the system. Link to BCIT transfer credit system from BCCAT website. Introduction to Transfer Grid Project – Joanne Massey (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) (see Appendix B) Why? We all are threaded to each other through CADD regardless of what drafting programs we teach. There are new members and faculty amongst the various institutions. Course Comparison: Programs (and courses) are sorted by topic area on Master Matrix. To approve transfer credit between courses, it is required that there is a minimum of 80% commonality. Goals of two day meeting:
1. For each discipline to agree on transfer grid and process at least the first year of courses. 2. To observe and possibly make agreements on some block transfers. 3. Articulate transfer of “Uncategorized” courses. 4. Establish a procedure to annually review and update both transfer agreements. 5. Sign up for Moodle site. 6. Establish a chart to identify similarities and differences.
Note: Block transfer is defined as “the process whereby a block of credits is granted to students who have successfuly completed a certificate, diploma or cluster of courses that are recognized as having educational wholeness or integrity and that can be related meaningfully to another credential program.” Each committee member at each institution will be responsible for sending articulated agreements to their respective registrar’s office (see Appendix C, contact list included in meeting package). Articulation Activity: (11:00 am to 12:30 pm / 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm) Members broke into discipline groups to discuss and finalize Transfer Grid for each area. Architectural Christina Heinrick, Michael Whitmore, Paul Rodham, Gabriella Olhauser, Larry Gritzmaker
Civil / Structural Graham Huckin, Anna Trajkovic, Joanne Massey
Mechanical Ross Lyle, Paul Morrison, Quincy DeWitt Members reconvened after establishing Transfer Grid for each area: (3:00 pm – 4:00 pm)
Determined which grid format to submit to BCCAT
Determined that the Transfer Grids would be reviewed and updated every year at the annual BCDTAC meeting Members were informed that the Registrar’s office at each institution must be given written notification of these transfer agreements. A contact list of BCCAT representatives for each institution was given to members (see Appendix C)
Suggestion to include sample project work to help facilitate outcome understandings during follow up review and updates sessions of the articulation and transfer credit agreements. An interim report to be sent to BCCAT by Joanne Massey in the next week (see Appendix D)
One member from each discipline group volunteered to edit the Transfer Grid to reflect the outcome of the break-out session.
Architectural - Christina Heinrick Civil / Structural – Joanne Massey Mechanical - Quincy DeWitt
Edited Transfer Grids will be returned to Joanne Massey by September 15 2009.
Meeting adjourned: 4:00 pm Cloverdale Trades & Technology Campus Tour
Day 2 – Tuesday, June 30, 2009 Chair, Graham Huckin called meeting to order at 9:10am.

Block Transfer Agreements (10:00 am – 11:00 am) After careful scrutiny of the Transfer Grid on the previous day, it was determined that 2 Block Transfer agreements could be facilitated:
1) Camosun Engineering Graphics Technician Certificate will receive credit for Kwantlen’s CADD Citation
2) Camosun Engineering Graphics Technician Certificate will receive credit for North Island College Drafting – first semester of a two-semester Certificate.
BCDTAC Website: (11:00 am – noon) Members went to the computer lab and registered for the BCDTAC Moodle site. This interactive site will allow members to continue the articulation process through forums and other tools on this website. Next Meeting: June 24, 2010 (Thursday) at 8am. Location – Camosun College, Victoria. Host Ross Lyle. Meeting adjourned at noon, followed by lunch in cafeteria.

BCCATBLOCK TRANSFER GUIDE
Block Transfer GuideBlock Transfer occurs when a group of courses, often in the form of a certificate, diploma or associate degree, is recognized as a whole for transfer credit.
For example, if you completed a two-year forestry diploma, you will receive block credit if you are transferring into a Forestry degree program at an institution which has a block transfer agreement with yourinstitution.
You should be able to transfer directly into the second or third year of the degree program depending on the agreement. The advantage of block transfer is that the entire program will transfer, even if some of the individual courses do not have transfer agreements.
BCCATBLOCK TRANSFER GUIDE
Guidelines for Block Transfer Agreements
1. Definition of Block Transfer: Block Transfer is the process whereby a block of credits is granted to students who have successfully completed a certificate, diploma or cluster of courses that is recognized as having an academic wholeness or integrity, and that can be related meaningfully to a degree program or other credential.
2. Block Transfer agreements will normally involve certificate or diploma programs from the sending institutions, but may also involve smaller blocks or clusters of courses or credits.
3. Where the receiving institution does not grant the number of credits equivalent to the number the sending institution grants for the block, it should provide clear rationale for the number of credits granted.
4. While many block transfer agreements include a provision that the student is deemed to have fulfilled all lower level requirements, others may stipulate that any lower level requirements that have not been completed must still be taken.
5. Block transfer agreements should be clear, in that each student should know exactly what credit he/she will receive at the receiving institution.
6. A block transfer agreement does not guarantee admission to the receiving program or confer priority status, unless such provisions are specifically built into the agreement.
4
BCCATBLOCK TRANSFER GUIDE
7. The standards or criteria for program admission for students transferring under a block transfer agreement should be clearly stated in the agreement.
8. Sending and receiving institutions should reach agreement on what constitutes replication of coursework before a block transfer agreement is finalized. Students should not have to repeat content of which they have already demonstrated substantial mastery.
9. If a block transfer agreement provides for two years of credit transfer, transfer students should be able to finish a four-year degree in a further two years or within a reasonable additional amount of time if deemed essential by the receiving institution.
10. Block transfer arrangements should involve signed formal agreements between a sending and receiving institution.
11. Block transfer arrangements should be well documented (including in the BC Transfer Guide) and accessible to students.
12. Depending on the agreement, block transfer agreements may include provision for course-by-course allocation of credit, or may obviate the need for such allocation.

Drafting Technologies Transfer Innovations Project – Interim Report July 8, 2009
Prepared by: Joanne Massey Project Coordinator
Timeline Activity January 2009 Sent an announcement to all existing BC Drafting Articulation
Committee (BCDTAC) members informing them of the schedule of events for the Transfer Innovations project.
January 2009 Contacted Okanagan College: Quincy DeWitt – Mechanical Engineering Technology Dept Chair Tom Guenther – Civil Engineering Technology Dept Chair Informed them of the Transfer Innovations project, and invited them to the June 2009 BCDTAC meeting. They both agreed to attend
March 2009 Arranged to have the BCDTAC June 2009 meeting moved from Camosun to the Lower Mainland (Kwantlen) to ensure a good attendance
March – April 2009 Collected courses and outcomes Compiled initial Program Grid of all CADD related programs and courses in BC Institutions Determined that the most effective Transfer Grid would include programs in the following areas: Architectural Civil Mechanical Structural
May 2009 Contacted BCIT Paul Morrison - Mechanical Engineering Technology Assoc. Dean Julia Hein – Architectural and Building Technology Dept Chair Paul Thurston - Civil Engineering Dept Chair Darryl Mack – Enrollment Planning (invited as a guest) Informed them of the Transfer Innovations project, and invited them to the June 2009 BCDTAC meeting. Paul Thurston asked for their Civil Engineering program to be removed from the Transfer Grid due to current accreditation process with the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. Julia Hein indicated that she would be on vacation, but that she would try to find a delegate to attend. Paul Rodham agreed to attend. Paul Morrison agreed to attend.
Appendix D
May 2009 Sent out initial Program Grid of all CADD related programs and courses in BC Institutions to all institutions attending the June 2009 BCDTAC meeting
June 1 2009 Sent out Transfer Grid sorted by categories and topics. (actual document that would be discussed and finalized at the June 2009 BCDTAC meeting)
June 29 & 30 2009 BCDTAC Annual Meeting - Kwantlen Polytechnic University (see BCDTAC June 2009 Minutes of Meeting included in this report) Transfer Grid Broke into discipline groups to discuss and establish Transfer in each discipline area: Architectural *Civil/Structural Mechanical *Okanagan College Civil Dept Chair did not attend. With the BCIT Civil program having been removed from the Transfer Grid, that left only Camosun on the Grid with a Civil program. There was no articulation carried out for Civil. The Civil/Structural group worked on Structural Transfer only. We plan to included the two Civil programs in the annual review of the Transfer Grid at the BCDTAC 2010 meeting, and add it to the Transfer Grid if appropriate. Block Transfer: After careful scrutiny of the Transfer Grid it was determined that 2 Block Transfer agreements could be facilitated:
1) Camosun Engineering Graphics Technician Certificate will receive credit for Kwantlen’s CADD Citation
2) Camosun Engineering Graphics Technician Certificate will receive credit for North Island College Drafting – first semester
Institutional Responsibility: Members were informed that the Registrar’s office at each institution must be given written notification of these transfer agreements. A contact list of BCCAT representatives for each institution was given to members
July 2009 Interim Report submitted Transfer Grids by discipline, edited as per articulation discussion, will be submitted to Joanne Massey by Sept 15 2009 Transfer Grids will be put into a format suitable for BCCAT website Block Transfer agreements will be written up
