Executive Summary REVISED POSTSECONDARY CURRICULUM FRAMEWORKS 2011 EDITION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOREWORD As the world economy continues to evolve, businesses and industries must adopt new practices and processes in order to survive. Quality and cost control, work teams and participatory management, and an infusion of technology are transforming the way people work and do business. Employees are now expected to read, write, and communicate effectively; think creatively, solve problems, and make decisions; and interact with each other and the technologies in the workplace. Career–technical programs must also adopt these practices in order to provide graduates who can enter and advance in the changing work world. The curriculum framework in this document reflects these changes in the workplace and a number of other factors that impact local career–technical programs. Federal and state legislation calls for articulation between high school and community college programs, integration of academic and career skills, and the development of sequential courses of study that provide students with the optimum educational path for achieving successful employment. National skills standards, developed by industry groups and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and Labor, provide career and technical educators with the expectations of employers across the United States. All of these factors are reflected in the framework found in this document. Referenced throughout the courses of the curriculum are the 21st Century Skills, which were developed by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, a group of business and education organizations concerned about the gap between the knowledge and skills learned in school and those needed in communities and the workplace. A portion of the 21st Century Skills addresses learning skills needed in the 21st century, including information and communication skills, thinking and problem-solving skills, and interpersonal and self-directional skills. Another important aspect of learning and working in the 21st century involves technology skills. The International Society for Technology in Education, developer of the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS), was a strategic partner in the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Each postsecondary program of instruction consists of a program description and a suggested sequence of courses that focus on the development of occupational competencies. The MS- CPAS2 blueprints are based upon the suggested course sequences to allow for year 1 and year 2 assessments for all exit options. Please refer to the blueprint online. Each career–technical course in this sequence has been written using a common format, which includes the following components:  Course Name – A common name that will be used by all community and junior colleges in reporting students  Course Abbreviation – A common abbreviation that will be used by all community and junior colleges in reporting students  Classification – Courses may be classified as the following: o Career–technical core – A required career–technical course for all students Executive Summary o Area of concentration (AOC) core – A course required in an area of concentration of a cluster of programs o Career–technical elective – An elective career–technical course o Related academic course – An academic course that provides academic skills and knowledge directly related to the program area o Academic core – An academic course that is required as part of the requirements for an associate’s degree  Description – A short narrative that includes the major purpose(s) of the course and the recommended number of hours of lecture and laboratory activities to be conducted each week during a regular semester  Prerequisites – A listing of any courses that must be taken prior to or on enrollment in the course  Corequisites – A listing of courses that may be taken while enrolled in the course  Competencies and Suggested Objectives – A listing of the competencies (major concepts and performances) and the suggested student objectives that will enable students to demonstrate mastery of these competencies The following guidelines were used in developing the program(s) in this document and should be considered in compiling and revising course syllabi and daily lesson plans at the local level:  The content of the courses in this document reflects approximately 75% of the time allocated to each course. The remaining 25% of each course should be developed at the local district level and may reflect the following: o Additional competencies and objectives within the course related to topics not found in the state framework, including activities related to specific needs of industries in the community college district o Activities that develop a higher level of mastery on the existing competencies and suggested objectives o Activities and instruction related to new technologies and concepts that were not prevalent at the time the current framework was developed or revised o Activities that include integration of academic and career–technical skills and course work, school-to-work transition activities, and articulation of secondary and postsecondary career–technical programs o Individualized learning activities, including work-site learning activities, to better prepare individuals in the courses for their chosen occupational areas  Sequencing of the course within a program is left to the discretion of the local district. Naturally, foundation courses related to topics such as safety, tool and equipment usage, and other fundamental skills should be taught first. Other courses related to specific skill areas and related academics, however, may be sequenced to take advantage of seasonal and climatic conditions, resources located outside of the school, and other factors. Executive Summary  Programs that offer an Associate of Applied Science degree must include a minimum 15- semester-credit-hour academic core. Specific courses to be taken within this core are to be determined by the local district. Minimum academic core courses are as follows: o 3 semester credit hours (sch) Math/Science Elective o 3 semester credit hours Written Communications Elective o 3 semester credit hours Oral Communications Elective o 3 semester credit hours Humanities/Fine Arts Elective o 3 semester credit hours Social/Behavioral Science Elective It is recommended that courses in the academic core be spaced out over the entire length of the program, so that students complete some academic and career–technical courses each semester. Each community or junior college has the discretion to select the actual courses that are required to meet this academic core requirement.  Career–technical elective courses have been included to allow community colleges and students to customize programs to meet the needs of industries and employers in their area. In order to provide flexibility within the districts, individual courses within a framework may be customized by doing the following:  Adding new competencies and suggested objectives  Revising or extending the suggested objectives for individual competencies  Adjusting the semester credit hours of a course to be up 1 hour or down 1 hour (after informing the Mississippi Community College Board [MCCB] of the change) In addition, the curriculum framework as a whole may be customized by doing the following:  Resequencing courses within the suggested course sequence reflecting the new assessment format  Developing and adding a new course that meets specific needs of industries and other clients in the community or junior college district (with MCCB approval)  Utilizing the career technical elective options in many of the curricula to customize programs Executive Summary COMMUNITY/JUNIOR COLLEGE CAREER–TECHNICAL PROGRAMS 2011 REVISION Postsecondary Agricultural Technician Technology Postsecondary Automation and Control Technology Postsecondary Automotive Technology Postsecondary Brick Block and Stone Masonry Postsecondary Civil Engineering Technology Postsecondary Collision Repair Technology Postsecondary Commercial Residential Maintenance Postsecondary Commercial Truck Driving Postsecondary Conservation Law Enforcement Technology Postsecondary Cosmetology Science Cluster Postsecondary Dental Assisting Technology Postsecondary Dental Hygiene Technology Postsecondary Diagnostic Medical Sonography Technology Postsecondary Diesel Equipment Technology Postsecondary Electronics and Related Engineering Technology Postsecondary Forestry Technology Postsecondary Instrumentation Technology Postsecondary Media Technology Postsecondary Medical Laboratory Technology Postsecondary Millwright Technology Postsecondary Occupational Therapy Assistant Postsecondary Small Engine and Equipment Repair Technology Postsecondary Utility Line Worker Technology Executive Summary Table of Contents Executive Summary Executive Summary PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS AND SUGGESTED COURSE SEQUENCES AGRICULTURAL TECHNICIAN TECHNOLOGY Agricultural Technician Technology is an instructional program that prepares individuals to select, operate, maintain, service, and use agricultural/industrial power units, machinery, and equipment.

Instruction includes the diagnosis of malfunctions of all eight areas of ASE/NATEF certification (Engine Repair, Electrical and Electronic Systems, Engine Performance, Brakes, Steering and Suspension Systems, Manual Drivetrains and Axles, Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Heating and Air Conditioning). Program Requirements Postsecondary Automotive Technology is an articulated career-technical program designed to provide advanced and technical skills to its students. Baseline competencies, taken from the secondary Automotive Service Technician curriculum framework, serve as a foundation for the competencies and suggested objectives taught in the courses of the program. Students who do not possess these competencies will be allowed to acquire them during the program. Students who can document mastery of the baseline competencies will receive advanced instruction on these topics. Automotive Technology may be taught as either a certificate program or as a technical program. The curriculum for Postsecondary Automotive Technology is based upon the task list published in ASE Certification for Automobile Training Programs, National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, Inc. (NATEF). This task list serves as a national standard for certification of automobile technician training programs and is regularly reviewed and validated by technicians and engineers in the automotive industry. The task list is based upon the following assumptions, which also apply to the model curriculum: 1. In all areas, appropriate theory, safety, and support instruction is required for performing each task. It is assumed that this instruction has included identification and use of appropriate tools and testing and measuring equipment required to accomplish certain tasks. It is also assumed that the student has received necessary training to locate and use current reference and training materials from accepted industry publications (in most cases, published by the vehicle manufacturer), which present manufacturers’ recommended or required specifications and procedures for performing various tasks. 2. All diagnostic and repair tasks described in this document are to be accomplished in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended procedures and specifications. 3. The individual training program being evaluated for certification should have written and detailed performance standards for each task taught in the curriculum. Learning progress of students should be monitored and evaluated against these performance standards. A system should be in place which informs all students of their individual progress through all phases of the training program. Executive Summary 4. It is recognized that individual courses of study will differ across automobile technician training programs. The development of appropriate learning delivery systems and tests which monitor student progress will be the responsibility of the individual training program.

Sonography is user- dependent, requiring competent and highly skilled professionals to be a part of the integral health care system. Sonographers have extensive, direct patient contact, providing care to a variety of people from healthy to critically ill. The sonographer is responsible for obtaining pertinent patient history, performing the sonographic examination, providing for the needs and comfort of the patient during examination, and recording anatomy and pathology or other data for interpretation by the supervising physician to aid in diagnosis. Sonography is commonly used in the field of obstetrics and gynecology for purposes ranging from confirming and/or dating pregnancies to diagnosing disease processes of the female reproductive system. Sonographers must have knowledge of normal structure and functional anatomy of the human body and use independent judgment in recognizing the need to perform procedures according to sonographic findings. Upon completion of the 2-year program of study, the student will be awarded the Associate of Applied Science degree. Until a Diagnostic Medical Sonography program reaches accreditation approval from CAAHEP, the students must meet the following criteria in order to apply to sit for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers: • Be a graduate from a 2-year allied health program that is patient care related that includes but is not limited to Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Registered Nurse, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy; and have 12 months of full-time clinical ultrasound/vascular experience. • Hold a Bachelor’s degree and have 12 months of full-time clinical ultrasound/vascular experience. Graduates from a CAAHEP accredited Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program may apply to take the ARDMS without further experience.
