ACSW Proposed Mission:
Develop guidelines, policies, and tools to increase pre-engineering and applied science [course] articulation and improve student readiness and transitions at each level (secondary through their second year of college).

  • Align engineering knowledge and skills by supporting the University of Oregon ETIC project that establishes a framework of 100-200 level engineering courses, the Oregon Skill Sets, and the Engineered Communities subcommittee that seeks to develop common course outcomes for key engineering courses;
  • Collect system-wide data about engineering and applied science student transfer course and retention patterns;
  • Review secondary engineering technology programs and courses;
  • Investigate alignment and transfer between high school/community colleges and the Oregon University System pre major programs of study, “How far away from alignment are we from OUS?
  • Develop a model policy that guides pre-engineering and applied sciences transfer and articulation;
  • Conduct a follow-up study with pre-engineering and applied science students (connect with Larry Flick’s resources)
CPTH Mission:  At the summit, committee members changed the name from “Degree Pathways” to “Career Pathways”. Describing the relationship of educational programs and integrated work experiences to careers. Effectively communicating this information to students to allow them to make informed and productive decisions. Pathways may provide multiple entry and exit points for students who cannot complete all their educational goals at one time and thus join the workforce after completing one or more levels with the possibility of returning to an educational program later.

ACSW Recommendations:  The primary strategy from this group was to create a statewide council that has both strategic and tactical levels.  This council would be tasked to develop policy recommendations, and coordinate existing and new engineering and applied science programs. A supporting strategy was to immediately restart and expand a dormant “Engineered Community” group to take on skill set development, career pathways, and other recommendations of the Summit.   This latter group may become the tactical level of the statewide council once the council is up and running.

CPTH Recommendations:The three priority strategies that emerged from this group were to create a customizable pathway framework (building on existing efforts), create strategic multi-faceted marketing of the common framework, and assess and evaluate the framework model.
