ECC Board of Trustees
Executive Summary
Date: June 29, 2017
Subcommittee: Consent
Agenda Item: Program Revision Proposal: Changes to an Existing Program for the ECC Computer and
Electronics Technology AAS Degree Program at South Campus; SUNY Form 3A proposal
request for Submission to SUNY
This item is: For Board's Approval
Backup Documentation: Attached to this document
Background Information:
The Computer and Electronics Technology curriculum is designed to provide the knowledge and skills
required to diagnose, install, maintain and restore functions of computer and digital electronic systems.
The current curriculum at the South Campus is being rewritten to be a better fit with the community
workforce needs and to take advantage of better course opportunities when the program moves to the
North Campus.
Reasons for Recommendation:
The Department Chair Ralph Coviello brought the proposed revisions through the College-wide
Curriculum Committee on May 2.
Fiscal Implications:
The department’s plan is to move the program with updated curriculum to North Campus and to
Discontinue it at South Campus. The college believes the curriculum would work better utilizing
equipment and facilities with the North Campus based Electrical Engineering AAS degree program and
newly approved certificate programs of Mechatronics and Quality Assurance Technician.
Consequences of Negative Action:
The potential at North is greater for serving the student population.
Steps Following Approval:
The SUNY Form 3A will be submitted for approval to the State University of New York Provost and then
to the New York State Education Department.

[X] Cumulative change from SED’s last approval of the registered program of one-third or more of the minimum credits
required for the award (e.g., 20 credits for associate degree programs, 40 credits for bachelor’s degree programs)
The department’s plan is to not only move the program to North Campus and Discontinue it at South Campus but
also to rewrite the curriculum to be a better fit with the community workforce needs and to take advantage of
better course opportunities at the North Campus.
[ ] Changes in a program’s focus or design
[ ] Adding or eliminating one or more options, concentrations or tracks [ ] Eliminating a requirement for program completion (such as an internship, clinical placement, cooperative education,
or other work or field-based experience). Adding such requirements must remain in compliance with SUNY credit
cap limits.
[ ] Altering the liberal arts and science content in a way that changes the degree classification of an undergraduate
program, as defined in Section 3.47(c)(1-4) of Regents Rules
b) Provide a side-by-side comparison of all the courses in the existing and proposed revised program

involve a course or courses that satisfy one of the required content areas in the profession.
a) For undergraduate programs, complete the SUNY Undergraduate Program Schedule to show the sequencing and
scheduling of courses in the program. If the program has separate tracks or concentrations, complete a Program
Schedule for each one.
NOTES: The Undergraduate Schedule must show all curricular requirements and demonstrate that the program
conforms to SUNY’s and SED’s policies.
It must show how a student can complete all program requirements within SUNY credit limits, unless a longer
