C T McMath
FROM Brian Carr Dean of Sciences Faculty of Science Mathematics and Applied Sciences
DATE April 28 2008
suBJECT PROGRAM REVISION REQUEST Certificate in Applied Science Engineering
1 We propose to change the name of our program from Certificate in Applied ScienceEngineering to Certificate in Engineering
Rationale
Our current name has been the root of much confusion with prospective students who makecontact with Kwantlen only to be told we dont do engineering Although a handful ofuniversities across Canada use the term applied science engineering is a more commonlyrecognized terminology We believe that name recognition is an important factor in studentrecruitment
2 We propose that APSC 1125 15 credits be replaced with a new course APSC 112410 credits
Rationale
Our Introduction to Engineering course has always relied on external speakers and field trips tointroduce students to the real life of working Engineers but the reliance on external speakersmade scheduling difficult so the course was spread over two semesters This createdscheduling problems particularly for students who were not on the full program grid A set ofgeneric in house metaskills seminars was brought in a few years ago and used to fill inscheduling gaps in Fall semester The external seminars still continued into the Springsemester so the scheduling problem remained Also the total number of seminars has risenwell above what UBC the only receiving university that requires this course has been doing
We have found we can schedule Fall semester efficiently using both internal and externalspeakers and that this should be enough to meet UBCs requirements The gradable materialand projects based on the metaskills seminars is slightly reduced thus the credits for the coursehave been reduced to 10 from 15 UBC has expressed support informally though the formalarticulation must still be done

FROM Dave Lyon Chair of Criminology Department
DATE April 28 2008
SUBJECT Program Revision for the BA in Community Criminal Justice
Memorandum
CriminologyDepartment
The Criminology Department is proposing that the following change be made to the BAin Community Criminal Justice degree program CCJ
The Cumulative Grade Point Average CGPA for entry into the CCJ program belowered to 20
The proposed change to the CGPA for entry into the CCJ program has been approvedby the Criminology Department and the Divisional Curriculum Committee
LOWERING THE CGPA FOR ENTRY TO THE CCJ FROM 30 TO 20
Under the current program requirements students are eligible to enter the CCJ degreeprogram in third year once they have completed the Associate of Arts in CriminologyAA Crim The required CGPA for entry is 30 although students with a CGPAbetween 267 and 30 may be admitted on a casebycase basis if space permits TheCriminology Department is now proposing to reduce the required CGPA for the CCJfrom 30 to 20
The CGPA requirement of 30 was established when this was the only degree option inCriminology Since that time we have also implemented the BA Criminology degreeprogram BA Crim which requires a CGPA of 20 Over the past few years the BACrim program has proved to be a much more attractive program to students comparedto the CCJ and BA Crim students have demonstrated considerable success in termsof course completion and graduation
The chief advantage of reducing the CGPA for the CCJ is that it will make this uniqueprogram more accessible to students In turn this should benefit the department andthe institution at large by creating stronger enrollment demand One of the difficultiesunder the current program is that students complete a transfer credential AA Crimand then confront the CGPA requirement for admission into the CCJ program at thirdyear As a result students who might otherwise be interested in the CCJ and whomight benefit from this program may avoid the CGPA hurdle by transferring to SimonFraser University or the University College of the Fraser Valley Alternatively studentswho choose to remain at Kwantlen may be electing to enter the BA Crim program
instead of the CCJ program simply to avoid the CGPA requirement Lowering theCGPA will bring the entrance requirements for the CCJ more closely in line with othercriminology relateddegree programs in the Lower Mainland including the BA Crim atKwantlen This should ensure that student decisions around which degree programthey enter are not unduly influenced by entrance requirements but instead are drivenprimarily by the fit of the program with their individual goals and needs
It is not anticipated that lowering the CGPA will adversely affect student success in theCCJ As indicated above it has always been possible for students to enter theprogram with a CGPA below 30 For example of the 22 students who havegraduated to date from the CCJ program 10 were admitted with a CGPA of less than30 Moreover every one of these 10 students improved their GPAs during theprogram Also despite a different curricular focus and some different courserequirements between the CCJ and the BA Crim the two programs share somecommon courses Anecdotally Criminology faculty members have not observed anydifference in terms of course completion between the students of these two programsdespite the existing difference in CGPA requirement
We wish to make this change effective immediately on approval I would be happy toanswer questions you may have regarding this proposed change

MEMORANDUM
The Applied Business Technology Program is seeking support for the revisions of its Certificate program to theLegal Administrative Studies Certificate program Program revisions are proposed for implementation in the Fall2008 semester The change in program name to Legal Administration and course prefix to LGLA is key toprogram identity and market visibility
The Applied Business Technology Program in recent years had two streams administrative and legal assistantThe demand for the administrative program has been declining for years and the decision was made for fall2007 to suspend the administrative stream and offer the legal stream only In 2008 there are two cohorts oflegal on offer both at Surrey campus In order to better serve the market demand for legal administrativeassistants and ensure relevance of the course offering for this program the department has determined thatABTY 1125 Office Dynamics needs to be reworked to focus specifically on the office dynamics of a legal officeAccordingly a revised course has been submitted for approval This new course is LGLA1130 Legal procedureand Research With the switch in content from a generic office dynamics course to a specific course focusing onthe legal office environment it is recognized that the changes constitute a program change
Two further changes are proposed The now renamed LGLA1155 ABTY1155 Business Communicationscourse will have a program option of CMNS1140 Introduction to Professional Communications The LGLA 1135Computer Competencies course will have a program option of CBSY 1105 There is substantial overlap incourse content of these respective courses As both Applied Communications and Computer Business Systemsare service departments minor customization of assignments for the LGLA students is consistent with currentpractice of the service departments and scheduling considerations suggest designated sections Limited twocohort intake into the program coupled with current soft demand for post secondary options has created asituation where having quality faculty available for these two courses is most effectively achieved by using thefaculty competence within the service departments These two changes will be beneficial to students in theprogram who subsequently seek to ladder into a business diploma or degree
There is minimal need to accommodate students with incomplete credentials as this has operated in recentyears as a lockstep full time cohort program There have been no new applicants into the AdministrativeAssistant program for either the 2007 or the 2008 years Administrative stream students with incompleteprograms from 2006 and earlier were contact and informed of how their specific course shortfalls if any wouldbe accommodated prior to the beginning of the 2007 entranceCurrently legal admin students who fail a course currently have to wait until it is next offered before proceedingThis will continue to be the case after the above modifications

Name Change for the Graduate Nurse English as an Additional LanguageReentry Program GNEAL
The Faculty of Community and Health Studies Curriculum Committee has approved arecommendation from the Graduate Nurse English as an Additional Language program forrevision to the program name Through this memo we are requesting approval from DPAC tomake this program revision
Recommendation
The nurse reentry program for internationally educated nurses be renamed fromGraduate Nurse English as an Addition Language GNEAL to Graduate NurseInternationally Educated GNIE Reentry Program
Prior to January 2008 the GNEAL program had an English language enhancement component ineach of the three semesters of the program However program revisions were approved inSeptember 2007 to reflectaCollege of Registered Nurses of British Columbia CRNBC policychange regarding international applicants This change required the English Languagecompetency requirements to be met prior to eligibility to apply for registration in BC Theprogram revisions included the removal of the English language courses and a change inadmission requirements regarding English language competency At the time of approving theseprogram revisions Education Council recommended that the program name also be changed soit did not include any reference to English language
In consultation with the registrarsoffice Mamie MacFarlane it was decided that the acronymGNEA would continue to be used for purposes of scheduling and identification of coursenumbers As the course outlines come due for review the acronym of the course number will beedited to reflect the new program name The acronym of GNIE will be used when referring to theprogram

MEMORANDUM
At the March 28 2008 divisionsCurriculum Committee meeting the proposed Journalism programchange was approved
RATIONALE
As part of the continuing assessment of the Journalism degree program the most often identified needin discussions among faculty with students and with members of the Journalism Advisory Committeehas been for an upper level intensive journalismwriting course
JRNL 4240 Social Issues Journalism which has been offered as an elective fills that need It offersboth a rigorous academic component the history development and importance of social issuesjoumalism as well as the requirement for students to research and produce a Tongform piece of socialjournalism That gives them a chance to further develop and practise the full range ofjoumalism skillsincluding researching interviewing and writing
To accommodate Social Journalism among the requirements for graduation with a Bachelor of AppliedJournalism we have looked carefully at our currently required fourthyear courses particularly DailyNews Production Business Management
JRNL 4101 Daily News Production is currently a threecredit course which is a combination of highlevel study of the daily news environment and the production for oneweek of a daily newspublication It has become increasingly obvious over the past several years that the practical aspect ofthe course the production of the daily news publication is of limited pedagogical value for upperlevelstudents It more or less repeats what they have done in first and secondyear News Production coursesalbeit on a daily rather than weekly basis and there is little new that they leam from that
At the same time extensive technological and cultural change is reshaping news media and the need tohave students explore and understand that is increasing Our proposal is to recast the Daily NewsProduction course as a fully academic course that explores the recent history current reality and shortand midterm trends for media enabling students to develop a firm understanding of how media isevolving and what it means for their careers Changing the emphasis of the course by dropping thepractical portion of it reduces the course from three credits to one and a half credits
The remaining one and a half credits required to add Social Issues Journalism to the list of coursesrequired for a journalism degree would come from JRNL 4111 Business Management For thelargest part thats because much of the key content of Business Management which was developedas a course to develop newsroom management skills will be absorbed by the redeveloped Daily News
C O N S I D E R C O M P A R E C H O O S E K W A N T L E N
course A smaller aspect of the course has been self management skills for freelance employmentwhich has overlapped to some degree with our thirdyear elective Writing for Magazines
What students will lose as the result of the proposed change is negligible They will no longerproduce a daily news publication but those skills have already been well explored and developed inlower level courses Newsroom management will be absorbed into the redeveloped Daily NewsProduction course and self employment skills will continue to be covered although not as much depthin the Writing for Magazines courses
For that they will gain an academically rigorous upperlevel course with an intensive joumalismwriting component which we believe will much better serve their career and academic developmentand goals
The program would like to implement these changes in Fall 2008 Changes such as this are addressedin the Kwantlen calendar for Journalism
jRefer to timetables as course offerings may cl4ange year to year
In addition the Journalism Coordinator Beverley Sinclair emailed all third and fourth year studentsadvising them of courses they should register in for the Fall 2008 semester

AI Summarize the purpose of the proposal
The existing welder training program at Kwantlen University College has an excellent trackrecord in retention completion and placement of graduates This proposal outlines how aDiploma program in Welding will be built on the existing program to bring it into line withthe Trades Curriculum Frameworkfor Programs to Diplomalevel Credentials approved byEducation Council in May 2005 and with Kwantlenspolicy L9 Essential Skills This willenhance and augment the programsability to serve our students and the employers whoultimately hire them
Particular attention is paid to ensuring that all students gain critical core knowledgeappropriate trade skills a professional attitude essential skills and the academic componentsnecessary to continue on their post secondary career path
A2 Outline the key objectives and outcomes of the proposed program in one or two pages
Welders are employed in fabrication shops repair shops shipyards sawmills pulp mills andmore working on new installations andor maintenance welding They may work in forestrymining petro chemical transportation and marine industries as well as in manufacturing andfabrication shops After attaining some experience in the welding field a number of ourgraduates have started and maintained successful businesses or have moved into management
The four key objectives and outcomes of the Diploma Program in Welding are designed tobenefit the individual welding student the industry and the community
1 Recognize the accomplishments of trade students and facilitate their access to furthereducation
2 Give companies access to better qualified workers
3 Give students greater earning power and job security
4 Raise the profile of trades in the community

1 Recognition
Until the early 1950s British Columbian welders had no means of attaining credentials orverifying their training and experience Companies ranked individual welders and paid themaccordingly The first welder credentials were known as Tickets They were implementedto ensure that only qualified welders worked on projects such as boilers and bridges In 1982the Provincial C B and A level system was implemented The system is similar toapprenticeships in other trades but with some differences While the system is currentlyunder review by the provincial Industry Training Authority ITA no significant changes areexpected
Apprenticeships in other trades involve three or four yearlong steps In each year a typicalapprenticeship will require the apprentice to take four to six weeks of inschool training andto spend the remainder of the working year on the job under the supervision of ajoumeyperson a mentor who has completed his or her apprenticeship
The C B and A system for welding is similar in that it involves three yearlong stepsHowever the balance between inschool training and work on the job is different each year
C level The C level is the entry level and involves seven months of inschool trainingThen after a minimum of five months work in the trade for a total of at least twelvemonths the trainee earns a C level certification
B level Next the welder may then enter the four months of inschool training required forthe B level Then after a minimum of eight months further work in the trade againfor a total of at least twelve months the welder earns a B level certification
A level Next the welder may then enter the two months of inschool training for an A levelThen after a minimum of ten months further work in the trade the welder earns an Alevel certification
Welders can find steady and satisfying employment at any of these levels Training andcertification in specialized processes nol covered within the C B and A training may also beavailable
The Diploma Program in Welding will retain this C B A level system for training in thetechnical skills of welding and it will introduce new skills and opportunities In addition itwill provide students with credit for their studies which will enable them to bridge moreeasily into other post secondary programs

Due to technological change and to changes in workplace procedures etc the welding andfabricating skills which sufficed for half a century are no longer adequate Employers aredemanding that their employees have a broader set of skills than was required in the pastTherefore in addition to the specific technical skills welders need the Diploma Program inWelding will emphasize
Time and resource management
Teamwork and leadership
New technology
Business and marketing
3 Earning Power and Job Security
Employers are demanding higher qualifications in their workers Welders and related tradespeople who qualify for supervisory or management positions traditionally earn more and havegreater job security Workers with technical expertise and problem solving abilities are morelikely to advance than their less qualified counter parts
4 Trades Profile
Public perception of careers in the trades has definitely improved in recent years but there isstill much work to be done Many parents still prefer their sons and daughters to chooseanother profession
The Diploma Program in Welding will provide an opportunity to change that mindset Whenprospective students and their families realize that welder education is only the first stage of asatisfying and successful career they will become more supportive
The present C B A curriculum will remain intact and will provide the foundation for theDiploma Program Highlights of the Diploma Program include
Three distinct levels of educatoin Certificate Advanced Certificate and Diploma
Distinct entry and exit points
Opportunities for graduates to access further education
Unique blend of training and work experience
Higher standards of literacy and numeracy
Portability and consistency with other British Columbia colleges and institutes
A stateoftheart facility
Well established high school partnerships through the ACEIT and CTC programs

Welding program applicants must meet the following criteria for admission to the program inaddition to meeting Kwantlensstandard admission requirements
Interview by an instructor
Adequate reading comprehension and math skills as assessed by Kwantlen
Satisfactory physical health
The welding program at Kwantlen University College has always welcomed students fromdiverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds
New Canadians A large percentage of our students speak English as a second languageThis group generally requires only short language training before accessing the welderprogram often concurrent with the program These men and women often havevaluable existing training and experience and only require refresher courses to attain aBC qualification
Women Women have been traditionally under represented in this maledominated industryThis is gradually changing as our present enrolment is approximately 10 femaleand the percentage has been growing over the past years Unlike older trade schoolsKwantlenstrades campus offers equality in facilities and counselling support to both
The partnership program for ACEIT pioneered by our Welding faculty is part of an articulated arrangementsupported by the Industry Training Authority ITA between post secondary institutions and their localschool districts Grade I I and 12 high school students may simultaneously complete the creditrequirements for both the Welding Citation and high school graduation
2 CTC provides an agreement between Kwantlen and the South Fraser school districts Delta Richmond Surreyand Langley to accept students into public postsecondary programs while they are still in high schoolIn this way students may achieve dual credits for high school graduation and college programs
men and women It is clear from recent marketing efforts like the Trading Up careerfairs that more women are becoming interested in a career in this trade
First Nations Welding traditionally employs more First Nations people than other tradesFederal and Band funding programs are an asset to First Nations students
B3 State how the institution satisfied itself that there is no unnecessary duplication in thesystem
Since the welding programsinception in 1978 Kwantlenswelding program has always hadlong waiting lists Student demand for the program continues to be strong as is industrydemand for its graduates
This proposal represents the creation of a progressive Diploma program that does not exist atany other institution in BC The technical skill outcomes and content remain the same asother programs but the opportunities for students to obtain academic credentials does notcurrently exist in other C B A welding programs With the laddering opportunities and theexplicit inclusion of the Essential Skills this program will provide a model for theimprovement of all welding programs in BC as well as important educational opportunitiesfor students
B4 Provide evidence oflabour market demand

WeldingPage 6
Labour market demand for welders continues to be strong according to federal and provincialdata For instance Service CanadasLabour Market Information LMI states as ofApril 1 2008 that for welders and related occupations in most ofBC the employmentpotential is good There are recruiting difficulties due to an insufficient labour force or alack of qualifications in the available labour force Compared to other occupations this is arelatively large occupational group with a number of job opportunities occurring whenworkers leave or retire
Recently the Canadian Occupational Projection System COPS suggests that the largenumber of projected employment openiiigs over the 2006 to 2011 projection period indicatesthat there will be strong demand for workers across all industries in the province As a partof this growth COPS projects the following growth in employment demand from 2005 to2015 in manufacturing and construction the two major industrial groups which employwelders
