Show t SUU PREVIEW 1993 • PAGE 15 Applied Technology is varied (continued from page 11) Computer Numerical Control Machining prepares students for satisfying and wellpaying jobs in an industry begging for trained personnel in this state. Criminal Justice is another exciting program for those students who are interested in various aspects of law enforcement and working with agencies such as: local police departments; sheriff deparb:nents; highway patrol; FBI; and security agencies to name a few. This is a twoyear Associate of Applied Science degree program in which the student becomes acquainted with the following: corrections process, juvenile justice, criminal law, evidence, organized crime, arrest, search and seizure, criminalistics, and criminal justice management. Southern Utah University ls the site of the Stat Criminal Lab which supports the law enforcement agencies here in the southern part of the stale of Utah. Come take advantage of this exciting career. Professors Jean Newville and John Gerlits would be happy to talk to you about their program. Design Engineering Technology I CAD (Drafting) is also an exciting and rewarding two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program which can serve as the first two years of a four-year technology degree if the students should desire to continue their education. This program is designed to prepare a student with entry-level skills needed in the exciting world of drafting. Come see the exceUent lab and equipment the department has and visit with Professors Steve Taylor and Lyman Mllllford who will be happy to answer your questions and give you the latest insight concerning this fast and growing field of high technology. The Electronic Technology program is an exciting and rewarding field to go into. The department is one of the finest in the state, both in equipment and faculty. The department offers a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program and should students desire to continue their education, the Associate Degree can act as the first two years of the four-year bachelor degree program. This program prepares students with entry-level basic skills in the electronic industry. The department' placement rate is almost 100 percent and the demand is greater than the supply. lf you have a good math background and want to be on the cutting edge of today's electronic technology, come visit with Professors Don Blanchard, Ken Munford and Dave Ward and see what this field has to offer. It may be the one you are looking for. Most of our two-year programs can lead toward a bachelor degree should a student decide to go on or they can stop-out and go to work with what they have achieved. Education is a must in today's society and a skill in a technical field can put you that much further along in a job that will be rewarding to you. CNC Machining offers jobs for future Roger Greener, SUU's instructor of computer numerical control machining, or CNC, says that the Operators Training Course (Tech 100) offered each year is the best deal on campus. The course consists of one year of training in order to receive a graduation certificate, however oftentimes more students are placed in the work-force than complete all the requirements. In fact, since the program began in 1990, SUU has enjoyed 100 percent placement for its graduates. The CNC program is different than other courses on campus in more than one way. For instance, the class is four quarters long rather than the three quarter system used by other clas es, but the tuition for Tech 100 is $375 per quarter. Also students only have to purchase books once for the entire year. But perhaps the best part about enrolling in Operators Training, other than the obvious skills that are learned, is that the course is openentry-open-exit. In other words, CNC students can enter into the class at their own convenience and work at their own pace throughout, allowing them the freedom to pursue after school employment or other interests. Also, the class is set up for achievement in such a way that it mirrors the boy scout system of merit badges-pass certain criteria, obtain new skills and receive accreditation. Typically, the class begins in late September and runs through the following September and includes instruction from 7 a.m. to 1 p .m., Monday through Friday. CNC is taught in the university's machining lab in the Technology Building and consists of two hours of class time and four hours of lab time daily, providing hands-on learning and instruction. Subjects include Shop Safety, Shop Math, Blueprint Reading, Precision Measurement, Manual Control Machine and what everyone in the machine lab is excited to have, five of the top of the line Computer Controlled Mills. Greener says that the university supplies all of the steel that the student needs but all other metals must be purchased by the student. However, students can get reduced rates on many metals through the university's supplier. What makes Tech 100 such a great place to study, though, is the student to teacher ratio that it offerstypically 12 to 1. Greener insists that his students come to him if they feel like they are getting behind where they need to be and due to the size of the average class, his help is always there.
