Columbus State Downtown Campus6

Columbus State In BriefFor more than 40 years, Columbus State Community College hasbeen meeting the diverse educational needs of the community. Thecollege is proud to be an important contributor to the growth andprogress of central Ohio.In 1963, the Columbus Board of Education created the ColumbusArea Technician School, and the board designated an area ofCentral High School to house this new school for two-year, postsecondarytechnical programs.Rapid growth in enrollment during the initial two years caused theBoard of Education to purchase the Columbus Aquinas ParochialHigh School property and move the Technician School to a permanentcampus. May 25, 1965, the Ohio Board of Regents gaveapproval to a proposal from the Columbus Board of Education tocreate the Columbus Technical Institute District, and the ColumbusTechnical Institute was granted a charter effective July 1, 1967.As a state-assisted college, Columbus Technical Institute providedtechnical programs that prepared students for immediate employment.From the first graduating class in 1965 through today, morethan 30,000 students have earned associate degrees in 50+ technicalfields and transfer programs. The success of the College isreflected in the many accomplishments of these graduates and themany other students who have completed courses to improve andenhance their skills.On July 1, 1987, Columbus Technical Institute was re-charteredas Columbus State Community College by action of the OhioBoard of Regents. This significant change was a result of carefulstudy of the educational needs of Columbus and central Ohio. Theresulting findings supported the establishment of a comprehensivecommunity college to provide additional educational opportunitiesto area residents.As a comprehensive community college, Columbus State hasa strong commitment to students seeking career and technicaleducation leading to employment and to those students who wantto pursue an Arts and Sciences curriculum leading to an associatedegree and undergraduate degree. Our Career and TechnicalDivision offers certificates and associate degree programs in fivemajor areas: business, information technology, health, human andpublic services, and engineering, construction and mechanicaltechnologies. Columbus State also offers Associate of Arts andAssociate of Science degree programs whose coursework fulfillsthe freshman and sophomore year requirements for bachelor’sdegree programs offered by four-year colleges and universitiesthroughout the state. Specific transfer agreements with 40 collegesand universities are in place at Columbus State, and newpartnership degree programs are being developed all the time. Thecollege’s Center for Workforce Development Division also offersskills enhancement, customized training and business consultingfor area industries and employers.Columbus State’s Downtown Campus is centrally located onapproximately 85 acres near downtown Columbus. The campusconsists of 23 buildings that house classrooms, laboratories, andoffices of the college. Also part of the Downtown Campus is the7Educational Resources Center, which provides materials andresources for students. In addition, the college operates a facilityfor Aviation Maintenance Technology at Bolton Field Airport anda nine-hole golf course and driving range, open to the public, onAgler Road.As a convenient alternative to downtown studies, Columbus Stateoffers classes at 10 off-campus locations throughout central Ohio.At several of these suburban centers, a wide range of student servicesare available and students can even complete an associatedegree. In July 2008, the college broke ground on a second campusto be located in Delaware, Ohio.

Online transfer advising support is availableat www.cscc.edu. Go to the “Arts and Sciences” home page,“Transfer Information,” and then “u.select.”Ohio Transfer PolicyInstitutional TransferThe Ohio Board of Regents in 1990, following a directive of the119th Ohio General Assembly, developed the Ohio Articulationand Transfer Policy to facilitate students’ ability to transfer creditsfrom one Ohio public college or university to another in order toavoid duplication of course requirements. A subsequent policyreview and recommendations produced by the Articulation andTransfer Advisory Council in 2004, together with mandates fromthe 125th Ohio General Assembly in the form of Amended SubstituteHouse Bill 95, have prompted improvements of the originalpolicy. While all state-assisted colleges and universities are requiredto follow the Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy, independentcolleges and universities in Ohio may or may not participate inthe transfer policy. Therefore, students interested in transferringto independent institutions are encouraged to check with the collegeor university of their choice regarding transfer agreements. Insupport of improved articulation and transfer processes, the OhioBoard of Regents will establish a transfer clearinghouse to receive,annotate, and convey transcripts among state-assisted collegesand universities. This system is designed to provide standardizedinformation and help colleges and universities reduce undesirablevariability in the transfer credit evaluation process.Transfer ModuleThe Ohio Board of Regents’ Transfer and Articulation Policy establishedthe Transfer Module, which is a subset or entire set ofa college or university’s General Education curriculum in A.A.,A.S., and baccalaureate degree programs. Students in applied associatedegree programs may complete some individual transfermodule courses within their degree program or continue beyondthe degree program to complete the entire transfer module. The

Transfer Module contains 54-60 quarter hours or 36-40 semesterhours of course credit in English composition (minimum 5-6 quarterhours or 3 semester hours); mathematics, statistics and formal/symbolic logic (minimum of 3 quarter hours or 3 semester hours);arts/humanities (minimum 9 quarter hours or 6 semester hours);social and behavioral sciences (minimum of 9 quarter hours or 6semester hours); and natural sciences (minimum 9 quarter hours or6 semester hours). Oral communication and interdisciplinary areasmay be included as additional options. Additional elective hoursfrom among these areas make up the total hours for a completedTransfer Module.Courses for the Transfer Module should be 100- and 200-levelgeneral education courses commonly completed in the first twoyears of a student’s course of study. Each state-assisted university,technical and community college is required to establish andmaintain an approved Transfer Module.Transfer Module course(s) or the full module completed at onecollege or university will automatically meet the requirements ofindividual Transfer Module course(s) or the full Transfer Module atanother college or university once the student is admitted. Studentsmay be required, however, to meet additional general educationrequirements at the institution to which they transfer. For example,a student who completes the Transfer Module at Institution S(sending institution) and then transfers to Institution R (receivinginstitution) is said to have completed the Transfer Module portionof Institution R’s general education program. Institution R,however, may have general education courses that go beyond itsTransfer Module. State policy initially required that all courses inthe Transfer Module be completed to receive its benefit in transfer.However, subsequent policy revisions have extended this benefitto the completion of individual Transfer Module courses on acourse-by-course basis.Transfer Assurance GuidesTransfer Assurance Guides (TAGs) comprise Transfer Modulecourses and additional courses required for an academic major. ATAG is an advising tool to assist Ohio university, community andtechnical college students planning specific majors to make courseselections that will ensure comparable, compatible, and equivalentlearning experiences across the state’s higher-education system.A number of area-specific TAG pathways in the arts, humanities,business, communication, education, health, mathematics, science,engineering, engineering technologies, and the social sciences havebeen developed by faculty teams.TAGs empower students to make informed course selection decisionsand plans for their future transfer. Advisors at the institutionto which a student wishes to transfer should also be consulted duringthe transfer process. Students may elect to complete the fullTAG or any subset of courses from the TAG. Because of specificmajor requirements, early identification of a student’s intendedmajor is encouraged.Students who complete Columbus State’s degree requirementsin Communication Skills, Mathematics, Humanities, Biologicaland Physical Sciences, and Social and Behavioral Sciences willautomatically have completed the Transfer Module.Transfer ModuleEnglish CompositionCollege Composition (5–6 hours required)ENGL 101 Beginning Composition (3) andENGL 102 Essay and Research (3) orENGL 111 English Composition (5)Intermediate Composition (5 hours required)ENGL 250 Writing about the American Experience (5)ENGL 251 The American Identity (5)ENGL 252 Images of Men and Women in America (5)ENGL 253 American Regional Writing (5)Mathematics and Logical AnalysisSelect a minimum of one course.Mathematics (5 hours required)MATH 116 Mathematics for the Liberal Arts (5)MATH 130 Mathematical Analysis for Business I (5)MATH 131 Business Calculus I (5)MATH 132 Business Calculus II (5)MATH 148 College Algebra (5)MATH 150 Pre-Calculus (5)MATH 151 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I (5)MATH 152 Calculus and Analytic Geometry II (5)MATH 153 Calculus and Analytic Geometry III (5)MATH 254 Multivariable Calculus (5)MATH 255 Elementary Differential Equations (5)MATH 266 Discrete Mathematical Structures (5)MATH 268 Elementary Linear Algebra (5)MATH 285 Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations (6)Biological and Physical SciencesSelect two courses.

Ohio residents with associate degrees from state-assisted institutionsand a completed, approved Transfer Module shall beadmitted to a state institution of higher education in Ohio, providedtheir cumulative grade point average is at least 2.0 for allprevious college-level courses. Further, these students shall haveadmission priority over out-of-state associate degree graduatesand transfer students.2. When students have earned associate degrees but have notcompleted a Transfer Module, they will be eligible for preferentialconsideration for admission as transfer students if they have gradepoint averages of at least a 2.0 for all previous college-levelcourses.3. In order to encourage completion of the baccalaureate degree,students who are not enrolled in an A.A. or A.S. degree programbut have earned 60 semester or 90 quarter hours or more of credittoward a baccalaureate degree with a grade point average of atleast a 2.0 for all previous college-level courses will be eligible forpreferential consideration for admission as transfer students.4. Students who have not earned an A.A. or A.S. degree or whohave not earned 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours of creditwith a grade point average of at least a 2.0 for all previous collegelevel courses are eligible for admission as transfer students on acompetitive basis.5. Incoming transfer students admitted to a college or universityshall compete for admission to selective programs, majors, andunits on an equal basis with students native to the receiving institution.Admission to a given institution, however, does not guarantee thata transfer student will be automatically admitted to all majors,minors, or fields of concentration at the institution. Once admitted,transfer students shall be subject to the same regulations governingapplicability of catalog requirements as native students. Furthermore,transfer students shall be accorded the same class standingand other privileges as native students on the basis of the numberof credits earned. All residency requirements must be completedat the receiving institution.Acceptance of Transfer CreditTo recognize courses appropriately and provide equity in thetreatment of incoming transfer students and students native to thereceiving institution, transfer credit will be accepted for all successfullycompleted college-level courses completed in and afterFall 2005 from Ohio state-assisted institutions of higher education.Students who successfully completed A.A. or A.S. degreesprior to Fall 2005 with a 2.0 or better overall grade point averagewould also receive credit for all college-level course they havepassed. (See Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy, Definition ofPassing Grade and Appendix D.) While this reflects the baselinepolicy requirement, individual institutions may set equitable institutionalpolicies that are more accepting. Pass/fail courses, creditby examination courses, experiential learning courses, and othernontraditional credit courses that meet these conditions will alsobe accepted and posted to the student record.

Responsibility of StudentsIn order to facilitate transfer with maximum applicability oftransfer credit, prospective transfer students should plan a courseof study that will meet the requirements of a degree program atthe receiving institution. Students should use the Transfer Module,Transfer Assurance Guides, and Course Applicability System forguidance in planning the transfer process. Specifically, studentsshould identify early in their collegiate studies an institution andmajor to which they desire to transfer. Furthermore, students shoulddetermine if there are language requirements or any special courserequirements that can be met during the freshman or sophomoreyear. This will enable students to plan and pursue a course of studythat will articulate with the receiving institution’s major. Studentsare encouraged to seek further information regarding transfer fromboth their advisor and the college or university to which they planto transfer.Appeals ProcessFollowing the evaluation of a student transcript from anotherinstitution, the receiving institution shall provide the student witha statement of transfer credit applicability. At the same time, theinstitution must inform the student of the institution’s appealsprocess. The process should be multi-level and responses shouldbe issued within 30 days of the receipt of the appeal.The Columbus State Community College appeals process beginsafter the student with previous college credit receives an e-mail,which indicates that some previous coursework may not be applicableto the student’s new degree. The e-mail explains the procedurefor requesting a second evaluation of the transcript. If there-evaluation is not satisfactory to the student, the student may thenappeal by asking the Registrar to initiate the next step in the appealsprocess, which consists of a review of the transcript and supportingdocumentation by the department housing the academic disciplineof the course(s) in question. Appeals denied at the department levelwill automatically be forwarded to the Dean of Arts and Sciencesfor a final decision on behalf of the college. If the appeal is deniedat this level, the student will be advised in writing of the reasonsfor the denial and how to appeal to the state level.Fulfillment of the Associate of Arts or Associate of Sciencedegree requirements assures fulfillment of Transfer Modulerequirements.Kent State UniversityOhio Dominican UniversityOhio UniversityThe Ohio State University - All CollegesOtterbein CollegeShawnee State UniversityUniversity of AkronUniversity of Cincinnati- School of Planning, College ofDesign, Art, Architecture and PlanningUniversity of ToledoWilberforce UniversityOnline Bachelor’s Degree CompletionFranklin UniversityKaplan UniversityMiami UniversityA.A.S. in Electronic Engineering Technology to B.S.Ohio UniversityA.A.S. in Law Enforcement to Bachelor of CriminalJusticeA.A.S. in Legal Assisting to Bachelor of Criminal JusticeA.A.S. to Bachelor of Technical and Applied StudiesStrayer UniversityAll Columbus State degreesUniversity of ToledoA.A.S. in Technical Communication to B.A.A.A.S. in Health Information Management to B.S. inHealth Information ManagementDegree Completion Programs for All Columbus StateDegreesAshland UniversityCapital UniversityCentral State UniversityDeVry UniversityFranklin UniversityKaplan UniversityOhio Dominican UniversityOtterbein CollegeShawnee State UniversityStrayer UniversityThe University of AkronUniversity of PhoenixWilberforce UniversityColumbus State CommunityCollege Transfer AgreementsColumbus State Community College has established transfer agreementswith the following institutions.

Engineering Technologies*Individual technology degree programs are listed alphabeticallyin the Programs of Study section. See:Aviation Maintenance TechnologyElectro-Mechanical Engineering TechnologyElectronic Engineering TechnologyMechanical Engineering TechnologyQuality Assurance TechnologyCertificate ProgramsEngineering Assembly TechnicianEngineering TechnicianManufacturing Maintenance TechnicianComputer Aided Drafting TechnicianEngineering Technologies offers four focused certificates (seeabove) that lead to employment opportunities in technology areas.The certificate coursework and preparation means that the studentcan be gainfully employed earlier, and, in many instances, withcompanies that offer tuition reimbursement. These certificates canbe combined and count toward an associate degree.Engineering Assembly TechnicianCertificateAssemblers and fabricators play an important role in the manufacturingprocess. They are responsible for putting together finishedand semi-finished goods, assembling the pieces of components ofa product and then joining the components into a whole product.Assemblers begin by reading detailed schematics or blueprints thatshow how to assemble complex machines. After determining howparts should connect, they often need to use hand or power tools totrim, shim, cut, and make other adjustments to make componentsfit together and align properly. Once the parts are properly aligned,they connect parts with bolts and screws or by welding or solderingpieces together. Careful quality control is important throughoutthe assembly process, so assemblers look for both mistakes inthe assembly process and faulty components. They try to help fixproblems before more defective products are produced.Quarter 2 ...................................................................................................EET 105 Basic Electronic Systems........................................................5QUAL 150 Quality Transformation...........................................................4EET 154 Electronic Fabrication.............................................................2MECH 115 Engineering Graphics..............................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS.............................................................................15TOTAL CERTIFICATE CREDIT HOURS.................................................28Engineering Technician CertificateEngineering technicians use application-oriented principles of science,engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problemsin research, development, and manufacturing. Their work is morelimited in scope than that of scientists and engineers. Many engineeringtechnicians assist engineers and scientists, especially inresearch and development. Others work in quality control, inspectingproducts and processes, conducting tests, or collecting data. Inmanufacturing, they may assist in product design, development, orproduction. Although many workers who repair or maintain varioustypes of electrical, electronic, or mechanical equipment are calledtechnicians, those interested in repair and maintenance shouldpursue the Manufacturing Maintenance Technician Certificate.Engineering Technician CertificateCOURSECRQuarter 1ENGT 100 Introduction to Engineering Technology.................................4MECH 112 Computer Applications in Manufacturing...............................3MECH 240 Machine Tools.........................................................................4EET 110 Electronic Drafting..................................................................2TOTAL CREDIT HOURS.............................................................................13Quarter 2MECH 150 Manufacturing Materials and Processes..................................4MECH 115 Engineering Graphics..............................................................4EET 105 Basic Electronic Systems........................................................5EET 154 Electronic Fabrication.............................................................2MATH 111 Technical Mathematics I..........................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS.............................................................................19Quarter 3 ...................................................................................................EET 115 Basic Digital Systems..............................................................5MATH 112 Technical Mathematics II........................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS...............................................................................9TOTAL CERTIFICATE CREDIT HOURS.................................................41Manufacturing Maintenance TechnicianCertificateChanges in technology have transformed the manufacturing andassembly process.

In general, electricalportions provide the power for the equipment, while electroniccomponents control the device, although many types of equipmentstill are controlled with electrical devices. Electronic sensorsmonitor the equipment and the manufacturing process, providingfeedback to the programmable logic control (PLC), which controlsthe equipment. The PLC processes the information provided bythe sensors and makes adjustments to optimize output. To adjustthe output, the PLC sends signals to the electrical, hydraulic, andpneumatic devices that power the machine—changing feed rates,pressures, and other variables in the manufacturing process. Manyinstallers and repairers, known as field technicians, travel

to factories (or other locations) to repair equipment or to performpreventive maintenance on a regular basis. Bench technicianswork in repair shops located in factories and service centers, fixingcomponents that cannot be repaired on the factory floor.Manufacturing Maintenance TechnicianCertificateCOURSECRQuarter 1 ...................................................................................................ENGT 100 Introduction to Engineering Technology.................................4MECH 112 Computer Applications in Manufacturing...............................3EET 105 Basic Electronics Systems.......................................................5EMEC 250 Motors and Controls................................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS.............................................................................16Quarter 2 ...................................................................................................EET 115 Basic Digital Systems..............................................................5MECH 243 Robotics...................................................................................4EMEC 251 Controls and Control Logic.....................................................4MATH 111 Technical Mathematics I..........................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS.............................................................................17Quarter 3 ...................................................................................................EET 125 Electronic Switching Systems.................................................5EET 255 Instrumentation and Controls..................................................3EMEC 260 PLC Programming...................................................................4MATH 112 Technical Mathematics II........................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS.............................................................................16TOTAL CERTIFICATE CREDIT HOURS.................................................49Computer Aided Drafting TechnicianCertificateDrafters prepare technical drawings and plans used by productionworkers to build manufactured products. Drafters’ drawings providevisual guidelines, show the technical details of the products,and specify dimensions, materials, and procedures. Drafters fill intechnical details using drawings, rough sketches, specifications,codes, and calculations previously made by engineers or scientists.Some use their knowledge of engineering and manufacturing theoryand standards to draw the parts of a machine to determine designelements, such as the numbers and kinds of fasteners needed toassemble the machine. Drafters use technical handbooks, tables,calculators, and computers to complete their work.Traditionally, drafters sat at drawing boards and used pencils,pens, compasses, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devicesto prepare a drawing manually. Most drafters now use ComputerAided Drafting and Design (CADD) systems to prepare drawings.Consequently, some drafters may be referred to as CADD operators.CADD systems employ computers to create and store drawingselectronically that can then be viewed, printed, or programmeddirectly into automated manufacturing systems. These systems alsopermit drafters to prepare variations of a design quickly. Althoughdrafters use CADD extensively, it is only a tool. Persons who producetechnical drawings with CADD still function as drafters andneed the knowledge of traditional drafters, in addition to CADDskills. Despite the nearly universal use of CADD systems, manualdrafting and sketching still are used in certain applications.Computer Aided Drafting Technician CertificateCOURSECRQuarter 1ENGT 100 Introduction to Engineering Technology.................................4MECH 112 Computer Applications in Manufacturing...............................3MECH 115 Engineering Graphics..............................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS.............................................................................11Quarter 2EET 110 Electronic Drafting..................................................................2MECH 145 2D CAD ..................................................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS...............................................................................6Quarter 3MECH 175 3D CAD...................................................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS...............................................................................4Quarter 4MECH 215 Parametric CAD......................................................................4TOTAL CREDIT HOURS...............................................................................4TOTAL CERTIFICATE CREDIT HOURS.................................................25Engineering Technologies CoursesENGT 100 Introduction to Engineering Technology(AU, SP, SU, W)4 creditsThis course is designed to introduce the beginning student to the EngineeringTechnology Department at Columbus State.
