History 101
• We stand on top of other’s shoulders, who have gone before us. A mature System.
• We work best with known partners – connections.
• We practice good communication (regular routine and critical / urgent) is essential.
• FUNDING from many sources
SWELT
1996 – Statewide Electronics Leadership
MSOE – Electrical Engineer Technician.• Marge Wood – WTCS• Mark Porubsky – Milwaukee MATC• Bill Hodgkinson – • Terri Johnson - WIDS• Bob Strangeway - MSOE
SWELT Products
• Original 5 courses for transfer to MSOE
DC Fundamentals
AC Fundamentals
DC & AC Circuit Analysis
Digital Electronics
Microprocessors
And related high school transfer for DC and AC basics.
MSOE Experience
Lemons and Lemonade – Junior Level status for entry only….
Extensive developmental work for student success:
Calculus bridge courses and calculus based Physics – middle 5th year.
Concrete versus Theoretical Thinkers.
Electro-Mechanical
• Sherman Ansel: 52 Electronics, Electrical or Electro-Mechanical programs statewide.
• “If it had a different color resistor then it became a different program” and with that the separate instructor certification occupational documents.
• 2003 Electro-Mechanical difference emphasis (what separates from others).
Wind Energy
• 2006 EM with Wind emphasis – ITS model• Jim Gibson – WTCS: Ag / Renewable
Energy• Instructor Certification development• Intro to Wind – Train the Trainer• Packaged course curriculum on
CurriculumBank
DOE Wind Partners 2008
• Goal of 50% more graduates • MATC – Milwaukee• BTC – Blackhawk• GTC – Gateway• MSTC – Midstate • MPTC – Moraine Park
Four Amigoes NEW Region
VP’s of Instruction challenged T&I Deans:
Build on common EM core for transfers
FVTC – Automation
LTC – Wind
NWTC – Utility Technician
MPTC - Mechatronics
Alignment of EM courses
• Motors and Controls• Code – Frequency Drives• PLCs – Basic and Advanced• Mechanicals • Hydraulics and electrical control of
hydraulics
Progress / Changes
• Original ITS plan became shared program• Added FVTC and NWTC and MATC
Madison to grant activities.• Transfers for Gateway, Midstate – 2
current students• 17 credits (25%) at LTC• Intro to Wind – partnered• 2 summers of 7 credits – 30 days
Operation of Shared Sites
• Annual review meeting• Smaller partner cohorts• Larger student migration – Summer Issue• Regional approach – saves Lab
Investment• Now share Nuclear, Energy Management,
Environmental Eng, Water & Waste with same base.
