written abilities and active listening. Identify and demonstrate competence related to safety issues in the oil & gas production industry

Student success includes completing their program of study coursework leading to an Associate in Applied Science Degree along with attaining industry recognized certification and also interviewing and successfully getting a job matching their goals.

2 | P a g e

B. Outcomes Assessment Results and Action Response

Students complete a variety of work assignments, demonstrating understanding of basic and advanced concepts.

Students answer theoretical and application questions on information covered on reading assignments and graded assignments.

Completion of practice and final examinations Student evaluations indicate the degree to which students are pleased with the program and its

outcomes. Successful completion of program coursework and actions taken to reach more students in their

desired learning includes using technology to communicate and minimize paper as a means of instruction. Students have responded favorably to the use of digital textbooks used in various courses.

The program is adopting more hands-on labs and projects to complement traditional assessments in measuring a student’s demonstrated mastery of their knowledge of material covered.

C. Employer/Self-employed Satisfaction (A.A.S, Diploma, Certificate)

The Petroleum Production Technology Advisory Committee has helped direct curriculum development. As a result of two Internships with Hess in the summer of 2016, we discovered they were satisfied with the skill sets and knowledge of the students, which they demonstrated through a meeting and presentation by the Interns, and by hiring one student full time, and offering the other another Internship. Through the Internships and feedback from our Advisory Committee, we are working closer with the energy companies to identify the skill sets they need from a potential employee. The program is constantly evaluating how to keep pace with the changing trends and demands by industry, such as advancements in Automation and Controls technology, as well as Drilling, Fracking, Production, and Reclamation.

D. Transfer Information (A.A, A.S)

This is a terminal AAS degree program not generally intended for transfer to a BS program. However, students may use some credits earned as electives and academic work completed as part of the Petroleum degree to pursue a BS degree. No formal agreements are in place at this time with any B.S. or B.A. granting institutions. Additionally, students may transfer work completed in the petroleum program at Williston State College to a sister program at Bismarck State College to complete AAS work. Likewise work from Bismarck State College is applicable to Williston State certificates and degrees for students wishing to transfer in credits.

E. External Reviews and Recommendations

Attached in the Appendices are the Final Report from the Fall 2013 Career and Technical Education Visit along with minutes of the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Advisory Board Minutes.

Admission and TREND Grant Data Analysis and Summary

It was discovered that although most of the data compiled and provided by the WSC Registrar does coincide with those compiled and provided by the TREND Grant Group, some do not. After review of the data it was discovered that some data, such as Enrollment data, were recorded by the Registrar when students initially enrolled for classes and stated their fields of study before the semesters started. However, the TREND data are recorded based on actual student numbers after the semester has started, and at the end of the semester. A good example is the current Fall 2016 semester. According to the Registrar’s enrollment data, there were a total of 13 students (9 Sophomores and 4 Freshman) at the start of the semester. The Trend data showed a total of 15 students (7 Sophomores, 2 second year Freshman, 2 starting Freshman, and 4 no-traditional/part time students). At the time this report was written, both new Freshman changed from Petroleum to other WSC Programs.

1. Action Plan and Strategy

Continue to include business and industry input as to future employee needs and job specifications when making program changes and improvements. Drawing on the expertise of the program’s Advisory Committee to refine and focus curriculum to meet needs defined is a primary way this is accomplished.

B. Faculty Data 10 | P a g e

At startup in the Fall 2012 semester, one full time instructor teaching 16 credit hours and one adjunct instructor teaching 2 credit hours fully met the needs of the program. The student/faculty ratio was appropriate to the program accreditation standards. The Spring 2013 semester had one full time instructor teaching 21 credit hours and an adjunct teaching 8 credit hours. The Fall 2014, and Spring 2015 semesters had one full time instructor teaching 16 credit hours and an adjunct/adjuncts teaching 16 credit hours.

In the Spring of 2015, a decision was made by Administration to split the teaching duties by hiring two full time Instructors. One Instructor would teach the Petroleum Production Technology Lease Operator (PTLO) courses. The other would teach the Petroleum Production Technology Automation and Control (TECH) courses. The Fall 2015 semester had the two full time instructors teaching 10 credit hours each, and an adjunct teaching 2 credit hours. The Spring 2016 semester had the two full time instructors teaching 13 and 15 credit hours, and an adjunct teaching 4 credit hours, for a total of 32 credit hours. The Fall 2016 semester has two full time instructors teaching 15 and 17 credit hours, for a total of 32 credit hours. At this time, two full time instructors are adequate for the program.

The facilities and computer labs are adequate at this time. Currently, there are Lab stations for twelve students to have access to computers, PLCs, and DC/AC trainers. As Industry donates downhole tools and tubulars, more room will be needed. Since there is no room available for these tools in the Petroleum Lab, these tools may need to be stored and displayed in a separate building.

11 | P a g e

Another concern is that we are currently in Round IV of the TREND/TAACT Grant, the final round of this DOL Grant will expire September 30, 2018. At that time, the PPT Program will have to be funded from a different source. Other sources of funding will be explored. As most of the needed equipment has been purchased, the program may able to be independent at that time, funded by tuition and fees.

D. Student Support Services

Students have ready access to the instructor/program chair for advisement, help, and questions for the courses taught at Williston State College. Student services provides excellent advisement to students about the program. They are helpful with housing and application processes. General math and English tutorial efforts meet the student needs.

The program instructors, chair, and grant coordinator have assisted in internships and job placement. Many telephone calls are directed to their offices from potential employers.

E. Internships/clinical/practicum/co-ops

The first coop class was in Spring 2014, and have continued each semester since that time. Internships were also awarded to two students in Spring 2016. The sponsoring employer and participating students supplied feedback to the program. Employers completed a survey and interviewed with the program coordinator. The participants gave a formal presentation about experience gained. Students completed surveys as to their coop experience satisfaction and allowing for them to comment on ways to improve the process in the future coops.

In the summer of 2016, two students were hired as Lease Operator Summer Interns for a major oil company. One of the students has been hired as a full time Lease Operator, and the other has been asked to do another Internship, with a good possibility of being hired as a full time Lease Operator.

1. PROGRAM STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT

A. Strengths

Meeting outcomes/objective. Student Placement/outcomes Collaboration with other CTE programs TREND grant support Administration support Strong Advisory Committee commitment, consisting of eighteen members. Industry support and monetary and equipment donations.

B. Opportunities for Improvement

2. PROGRAM VIABILITY

The program started in the Fall of 2012, the high point of the Bakken “Oil Boom”. The numbers of program degree and certificate students were climbing in 2013 and 2014. The students were primarily classed as “traditional”, that is, just out of high school and essentially untrained in petroleum technology.

In the Fall of 2015, and Spring of 2016, oil prices dropped precipitously from almost $100 per barrel, to less than $20. In the summer of 2016, prices recovered somewhat to around $50 per barrel. In the Fall of 2016, the numbers of traditional students declined, and the numbers of “non-traditional” students increased. The latter tend to be experienced, currently employed in the petroleum industry, and looking to supplement their education. Others are laid off workers looking to re-train for jobs that are more secure. The non-traditional students also tend to be non-Petroleum degree or certificate seekers, but rather can be classed as “drop-ins”, students that only want to take a class or two.

14 | P a g e

Since oil prices (currently close to $40 per barrel) and the Petroleum Industry have rebounded somewhat, there will continue to be a demand for a trained workforce. As stated previously, two Petroleum students were hired as interns by Hess Petroleum last spring. One has been hired full time. The other is completing another Internship and is likely to be hired full time. Also, one student who graduated Spring 2016, and two students who are currently attending classes have been offered jobs by Halliburton. And, one current student has been offered a job by Oasis Petroleum.

Industry donations of equipment and willingness to participate in advisory relationships continue, perhaps even improving. And there is still a desire by companies like Hess, Whiting, Oneok, Halliburton, and others to hire students and also place students in coop and/or intern training at their facilities. Even if oil prices and activity decline again, the wells that have been drilled and are producing are still here and are increasing so the demand for graduates from the petroleum program will continue to increase as well.

New Business:

Tour of the petroleum Lab.

Brian is no longer the Grant Coordinator. A new Grant Coordinator was hired and will start Nov. 2nd. Her name is Pamela Rasmussen, and her role will include the Career Navigator/ Data Analyst and Grant Coordinator job descriptions.

Petroleum Production Technology (AAS) 14 students enrolled. 8 of them are sophomores.

Petroleum Production Technology (COC) Lease Operator- 0 students enrolled.

Petroleum Production Technology (COC) Automation & Control-0 students enrolled.

Petroleum Production Technology (CP) Automation & Control- 1 Freshman enrolled.

All students are in two years or one year programs.

Ending the COC programs is under consideration. They are one semester and are not beneficial to the students. It’s uncertain why they were set up this way. The original intention may have been as a foundation in layered (stacked) credentials for the next level of classes.

The Classes are out of order from last year. The second year students did not take the required classes to prepare them for year two. This year they are trying very hard to catch up and take the necessary classes to graduate, by taking extra courses and reviewing the classes they didn’t take last year.

1st year students this year have started taking the classes in the correct order they should be taken in.

Students are starting the programs unprepared for the math content for the petroleum classes. They need more Prerequisites to understand math content. The college is offering tutoring and math shops for students.

Employers/ advisory members would like to see data and some of the results of how these programs are benefitting the students finding better jobs.

24 | P a g e

Co-op employers need the information of the students ASAP, so in their hiring process they can look at candidates from the petroleum program who are participating in their Co-op.

Employers want to know what we are doing to recruit students to take the petroleum classes.

Talked about visiting high schools. This has been talked about and will continue to be discussed.

There has been Interviews and broadcasting for the TREND programs to recruit more students.

Talked about starting Dual credits for petroleum classes for high school students to take.

Promote online classes.

With the oil prices going down and increase to lay-offs there should be higher student enrollment.

Show the high schools students what jobs and opportunities will be available after they complete the program.

Automation & Control Presentation: Alberto Bellina - Automation & Control Instructor

Alberto provided updates on the student-managed Pumping Unit Jack project, the nationally recognized NIMS certifications, and changes to Courses 122 and 165. Alberto informed that he and Ken Quamme/IT are partnering to teach networking to Automation & Control students with a CISCO certification outcome. CISCO gives students CPMT and CCNAI credentials and allows for a higher level of Rockwell certification for those interested in those credentials. With NIMS, once NIMS-certified instructors can certify other instructors and students.

PTLO Presentation: Gerald (Mack) McGillivray – Petroleum Instructor

Mack provided updates on his program including the number of students (18) in the Petroleum program. Mack informed the group that PTLE 120 & PTLO 123 were removed due to redundancy. PTLO 122 - Drilling and Reclamation and PTLO 240 - Well Completion and Work-overs are replacing. The latter provide more learning opportunities for students with improved relevance to real world jobs.

Alberto updated the committee on his summer professional development opportunities (Rockwell, Amatrol, and Vincennes University). Vincennes is relevant to the NIMs program.

Conclusion

Mack concluded by asking for feedback or questions. No questions were entertained. Comments were offered as to the positive progress made with the program and the efforts being put forth.

The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:54 p.m.

New Business

Mack updated the group on the changed leadership of the college and Dr. Miller’s current dual role.

Mack reviewed current courses in the Petroleum program and outlined changes to curriculum including TECH 104 Industrial Safety, the new GIS course, etc. Alberto provided an update on the collaboration with the IT instructor to provide network courses that incorporate two levels of CISCO certifications. Mack explained the intended expansion of the GIS program to meet anticipated demand.

Mack reviewed declining student numbers in the Petroleum Program. Feedback solicited from advisory members on strategies to improve student enrollment numbers included:

Course/Curriculumo Offer intro courses as dual credit in the high schoolo Clearly the program’s mission and goals

Industry partnerships. Work with industry on referrals for degree-seeking students. Market the program

o Work with and recruit from area high schoolso Take steps to improve program perception (overcome reputation from volatile times) o Raise awareness with prospective students and parents about the automation program

Analysis/Metricso Degree metricso Evaluate the competitiono Quantify the enrollment numbers needed to sustain the program without grant funding. Compare these

numbers against realistic numbers of students we can attract.

Dr. Miller provided comments on student enrollment. He said TECH 103 was previously offered at Williston High but had no interest but offering petroleum courses for dual credit would be continually evaluated. He referenced that a TRAIN ND instructor is currently teaching a petroleum course at the high school but not for credit; WSC will grant credit for successful completion of the course.

Dr. Miller went on to say that as the TREND grant ends in March 2018 the program needs to become self-sustaining with student numbers to support it. While non-degree students are welcome Dr. Miller said the focus of the program and the means to sustainability is degree-seeking students.

Conclusion

The meeting adjourned at approximately 6:14 p.m. Members then attended the Envision 2030 meeting.

Standard 7 Safety training is in place.. (see Suggestions below)Standard 8 Industry partnership (Rockwell) Advisory Board appears strongStandard 11 & 12 The diversity of the classroom students proves that this program is open to all.

SUGGESTIONS: Standard 1 & 2 Look at the NCCER curriculum closer when designing course/syllabus – maybe the Instrument control curriculum could be a resource.Standard 7 CareerSafe/OSHA & SkillsUSA offers the OSHA 10 hour safety training program online. This may be an option for student who may not be able to go off site to obtain this certification. You also have an OSHA 500 level instructor in your building.

This should also include expectations of and for all involved to ensure students are finishing their education prior to entering the workforce.Standard 8 Keep working toward Industry relationships and gender balanced advisory boards to create and maintain communication to help meet the needs of the industry.

RECOMMENDATIONS: None at this time.
