Program Advisory Committees

Salt Lake Community College  keeps the Electronics programs in harmony with the needs of business and industry by the use of Program Advisory Committees (PAC) made up of individuals from the businesses and industries most closely related to the program. The input from these PAC members is critical in keeping the programs on target with the current needs of business and industry.

An additional tool used both in the development of programs and in the periodic review of applied technology education programs is the DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) process. The DACUM process is a task analysis process, which allows for an occupation to be analyzed, broken down into a series of tasks and from there into the competencies required to perform those tasks. The competency list provides a framework for developing course curriculum. An actual DACUM brings together workers in a particular occupation with a trained DACUM facilitator to conduct the task analysis over a half-day to full-day meeting.
