PROGRAM: Computer Applications and Computer Information Systems (CA/CIS)
PREPARED BY: Clem Lundie
ADMINISTRATOR: Ingrid Thompson
PROGRAM REVIEW SUBMISSION DATE: 3/5/14
PART ONE: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
1. Program Goals:
The Computer Applications and Computer Information System Departments (CA/CIS) aligns it goals with
the mission of the college, to prepare students for employment and/or continuing education
opportunities in the fields of accounting, business, computer applications, computer information
systems, cosmetology, dental assisting, emergency medical technician, health education, marketing, and
real estate.
The CA/CIS departments provide courses to students intending to transfer to a four-year institution.
CA/CIS departments work closely with the other departments within the Business and Workforce Division
(formally Business and Service Careers Division) to organize curricular patterns that provide students with
a meaningful, successful path through CA/CIS courses needed to satisfy professional certification,
transfer, or degree goals.
History
Between 1997 and 2002, the demand for technology courses offered by the Business and Workforce
Division greatly exceeded capacity. Projected growth of the Bay Area Technology Industry provided
ample justification for investing $23M into a new (five-story, 30,000 square foot) building appropriately
named the SJCC Technology Center.
In 2005, the full impact of the overall down turn in the technology sector resulted in significant
reductions in the number of Computer Information System (CIS) and Computer Applications (CA) course
offerings. By the end of 2006, the outlook for the technology sector was significantly more optimistic, as
CA/CIS course enrollments improved dramatically.
The CA/CIS Departments faced reoccurring challenges of delivering courses that address evolving
certification standards from technology industry leaders such as Microsoft, Cisco, Red Hat, Yahoo,
Google, EBay, and the Computer and Technology Industry Association (CompTIA). Every advancement
and update of hardware and software technologies impact nearly all aspects of CA/CIS programs. The
CA/CAS curriculum must keep pace with these changes in order for courses and programs to maintain
relevance to the technology industries in our Silicon Valley community.
The Computer Applications (CA) program consists of 28 courses that lead to two occupational certificates
and one degree.
The Computer Information Systems (CIS) program consists of 58 courses that lead to 8 occupational
certificates and 4 degrees.
The degree program requires a minimum of 60 units, of which at least 36 units must be in the CA/CIS
major and at least 24 units must be General Education units. An Associate of Science Degree and two
levels of certificates are available: Certificate of Achievement Level 2 and Certificate of Achievement
Level 3.
The Department of Computer Information Systems (CIS) offers degrees and certificates in four major
areas: Network Administration, Web Site Administration, Web Applications Solutions, and Computer
Programming. Several levels of certificates are available in each of the four areas.
The departments actively participate in high school career development programs both on and off
campus along with other marketing activities.
Another goal has been to provide students with the information needed to select the correct courses and
to offer advice to help direct their educational path. Communication is ongoing between the other
departments to maximize speed success. The departments also strive to minimize conflicts and
scheduling for courses.
CA/CIS Departments maintain an open door policy for all students interested in developing skills and
knowledge in Computer Applications, Office Technology arena, Networking Technologies, Computer
Hardware Technology and Programming. To support students with special needs, our departments work
closely with the appropriate entities such as Disabled Students Program, WIN, EOPS, CARR, Athletic, etc.,
to address those needs and develop successful instructional support combinations. In addition, the
departments have up to date programs and state of the art equipment to remain compliant with industry
standards and state regulations.
CA/CIS Departments serve the needs of a dynamic Information Technology industry in Silicon Valley. The
technology field constantly changing job demands impacts the skills required in the work force thereby
demanding changes to our courses to keep up. Using input and recommendation from our advisory
committees, trends and research feedback reports from industry leaders, we continually modify our
curriculum and add new courses so our students are receiving the most relevant training required by
industry.
CA/CIS Departments have instructional aides that provide academic support to all students in our classes.
Their primary responsibility is to assist students during classes and provide tutoring during open labs.
The instructional aides have adopted the philosophy that all students receive the time and attention
needed to be successful. They provide assistance guidance, knowledge of the various courses and
provide encouragement to students in classes and in labs. Students often comment on the
professionalism, expert knowledge base and courteous assistant for our instructional aides. The
department previously used a multilingual student to assistance other students as part of a peer support
system. Some staff and faculty are bilingual and are able to assist ESL students. All CA/CIS faculty is
involved in the basic skills and students learning outcomes assessment initiative at SJCC.
CA/CIS Departments maintain several servers, routers, switches and mockup networks for instructional
support of CA/CIS courses. One network technician supports all the operational needs of these networks.
Additionally, our technician manages the loading of operating systems software on all 232 computer
workstations to meet course requirements. Our technician provides on site, on demand support for all
network problems during class hours.
CA/CIS Departments are very responsive to the community it serves in terms of course content, length,
access, and learning approaches. Most of our courses are offered in short 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 unit classes
rather than full semester 3.0 unit classes. Students have responded favorably to the short course design
as this format allows flexibility and addresses the wide range of skill levels among our students.
Courses are offered in a variety of formats: days, nights, weekends, online hybrid, 16 week, 8 weeks, and
4 week's schedule.
Faculty and staff fully believe in an open door policy strive to make themselves accessible to students.
All faculty members have web sites and use the mail and Moodle to communicate with students and
increase student contact and instructor availability. We have found that using email has broadened our
communications with the students beyond the schedules of office hours making communication more
frequent and timely. Future goals of the departments are to start introductory Macintosh courses geared
for senior citizens and other students who are interested in upgrading or learning new skills and Apple
computers and to offers CA/CIS courses in Spanish and other languages.

Programming:
The CIS Programming Program is designed to provide students with skills in computer programming and
to enable graduates to gain employment as an entry-level programmer. Programming courses emphasize
skills on how to organize a computer program, and how to program in several different languages such as
Java, J2EE, Perl, C++, C#, Visual Basic, and Microsoft dot NET.
JAVA:
Java refers to a number of computer software products and specifications from Sun Microsystems that
together provide a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform
environment. Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms spanning from embedded devices and
mobile phones on the low end to enterprise servers and supercomputers on the high end.
J2EE:
Java Platform, enterprise Edition or Java EE is a widely used platform for server programming in the Java
programming language. The Java EE Platform differs from the Standard Edition (SE) of Java in that it adds
libraries which provide functionality to deploy fault-tolerant, distributed, multi-tier Java software, based
largely on modular components running on an application server.
Perl:
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Perl was originally
developed by Larry Wall, a linguist working as a systems administrator for NASA, in 1987, as a general
purpose UNIX scripting language to make report processing easier. It has undergone many changes and
revisions and became widely popular among programmers.
C++ (C Plus Plus):
C++ is a general-purpose programming language. It is regarded as a middle-level language, as it comprises
a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup
in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C programming language and originally named “C with
Classes.” It was renamed to C++ in 1983. C++ enjoys wide use in the software industry.
C# (C Sharp):
C# (pronounced C Sharp) is a multi-paradigm programming language that encompasses functional,
imperative, generic, object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It
was developed by Microsoft as part of the .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by ECMA
(ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270). C# is one of the 44 programming languages supported by the .NET
Framework’s Common Language Runtime.
Microsoft Visual Basic:
Visual Basic (VB) is the third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development
environment (IDE) from Microsoft for its COM programming model. VB is also considered a relatively
easy to learn and use programming language, because of its graphical development features and BASIC
heritage. Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of
graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using Data Access.
Microsoft.NET:
The Microsoft.NET Framework is a software technology that is available with several Microsoft Windows
operating systems. It includes a large library of pre-coded solutions to common programming problems
and a virtual machine that manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework.
The .NET Framework is a key Microsoft offering and is intended to be used by most new applications
created for the Windows platform.
The pre-coded solutions that form the framework’s Base Class Library cover a large range of
programming needs in a number of areas, including user interface, data access, database connectivity,
cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. The
class library is used by programmers, who combine it with their own code to produce applications.

there any significant differences by gender, age or ethnicity? Discuss these trends as they
apply to your program. If applicable, offer a plan for improvement of success, retention
and persistence.
Student retention, persistence, and success rates for CA/CIS programs have held steady for the
last five years. Given the total elimination of staff support and lab technicians due to budget
cuts, maintain our programs is considered a significant level of success. Plans for improvement
is not appropriate for this area at this time.
PART TWO: PROGRAM CONTENT
1. Provide a comprehensive course listing including dates of last revision, advisories, co and
prerequisites, articulation with four year colleges for your program.
<tbd>
2. Include a list/diagram of courses reflecting course sequencing and how often how courses
have been offered.
<tbd>
3. In what capacity have your program and course SLOs been mapped? Please provide three
examples of how the course SLOs map to the Program SLOs and how those assessments
have informed the overall learning outcomes for the students in your program. Have you
incorporated analysis into program improvements?
Course SLO’s and PSLO’s are mapped according to certification standards established by
third-party certification authorities. This is to ensure that CA/CIS curriculum covers the entire
spectrum of the published certification objectives. This is critical because failure to cover the
published certification objectives could result in students failing to pass the related
certification exams.
Student Learning Outcomes include:
• Providing majors with a solid foundation and fundamentals of computer applications in computer
information systems.
• Providing students with the knowledge and critical thinking skills needed to evaluate and
understand emerging technologies that encounter in everyday life.
• Enabling students to succeed in subsequent classes at San Jose City College, transfer institutions,
and in employment.
• Preparing students for positions as technicians, administrators, managers, administrative assistants,
and computer application specialists.
• Prepare students to pass the certification tests.
There are no examples of how course SLOs map to the Program SLOs because they were created
to reflect the academic standards of our curriculum and remain compliant with the industry
certification standards. No analysis is required because program improvements are driven by
changes to the certification objectives initiated by third-party certification authorities that own
the examinations.
PART THREE: PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT/ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT
1. What process is used to review and revise the curriculum? Include information on Advisory
committee and workforce data (if applicable).
Upon release of major software upgrades, CA/CIS departments will meet to discuss the need
to overview and revise the applicable curriculum. Meetings may be also held based on
feedback from advisory committees and workforce data from industry. This department
meeting will drive further meetings to identify the scope and impact of the upgrade on our
existing curriculum. Budget requirements and resource allocations will be identified if
applicable. Department chair will submit requests for any resources needed to meet the
upgrade requirements. Upon receiving approval of funding, timelines are established for
curriculum revision as required.
2. Indicate how program and course-level Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are assessed on
a regular basis.
CA: Program Student Learning Outcome Assessment Reports are generated every semester
by the instructor of record for each Computer Applications course. Adjunct Instructors
complete all areas of the report including assessing all student learning outcomes for the
Program; description of the assessment tool used; listing the data collected; analyzing the
findings, making recommendations for the course, and communicating with other Computer
Application faculty members at end of the semester department meetings or via emails.

3. How have Student Learning Outcome (SLO) assessments and program data been utilized to
improve instruction in the program?
Certification Examinations
Data on student successes that relate to certifications is not obtainable. Program owners such as
CompTIA , Cisco, and Microsoft charge fees for this information and SJCC does not have the means to
capture this data. Future program review updates will address this data gap as funding becomes
available to subscribe to the related databases.
4. How is data collected on student satisfaction of your program? To what extent are
students satisfied? How is this feedback used in program enhancement and revision?
Generally for CIS classes, data is collected through student evaluations conducted before the
end of each class. This feedback is reported to the Dean and is used to establish instructor
effectiveness and student satisfaction with instructional support and facilities.
For CA classes, students in the open entry open exit classes (CA 20D, 30A, 40D, 45D, 50D, 55D,
60D, 65D, 70D, 75D, 80D, 302, 303, 304, 305, and 306) complete a course evaluation form at the
end of the course. This data is collected and reviewed by all of the lab instructors. Before the
new semester, instructors meet at a department meeting or during Professional Improvement
Day to discuss the evaluations. Based on this feedback from students who have completed the
course, suggestions and improvement are communicated and applied in the new semester.
PART FOUR: STRATEGIC PLANNING
1. Date of last Comprehensive Program Review.
The date of the last CA/CIS Comprehensive Program Review was December 23, 2010.
2. Describe any changes in the program that have occurred since the last Comprehensive
Program Review. (See intervening Annual Program Reviews.)
One CA full time faculty and One CIS full time faculty retired in May 2013. That left one full
time faculty for combined CA/CIS programs coverage. Recent faculty hiring decisions in SJCC
Academic Senate and SJCC College President office clearly indicated that the 85% of all
CA/CIS programs will be taught by adjunct faculty for the foreseeable future.
San Jose City College has lost several key technology partnerships. This institution is no
longer and authorize Microsoft Training partner. (Microsoft IT) We also no longer actively
subscribing to the Microsoft Academic Alliance program which offered free software to our
students taking technology courses. We are currently in violation of our partnership
agreement with Cisco Systems for failing to maintain the equipment standards required for
Cisco Academies. Cancellation of this partnership will immediately result in cancellation of all
Cisco courses. And lastly, our EMC partnership alliance has been canceled due to failure to
deliver any courses for their curriculum in the past year.
CompTIA A+ certification program has been realigned to have students purchase the
required online access certification prep testing and online support. This program will
continue as before.
3. What are the current strengths of the program? Include faculty and staff training, projects
and other achievements.

4. What changes to the program do you plan to (would you like to) implement before the
next Comprehensive Program Review?
The CA/CIS department plan to implement several new Apple software development courses
to address requests from the CIS/CA advisory committee and interested parties in our
community. Several essential resources have been acquired. Three Macintosh Pro laptops,
three iPads, and VPAA approval for APPLE Academic Developers account. Key APPLE
software and textbooks will be acquired as soon as funds are available before the next
Comprehensive Program Review.
5. How will these changes impact student success, instructional techniques, and course
offerings?
No impact to student success, instructional techniques, or course offerings is anticipated by
these changes.
6. What are the budgetary implications?
CIS/CA requested $101,788.00 budget funding for 2013-2014. We received $0 to meet
CA/CIS program needs. There are no plans to submit any CA/CIS budget requirement for
2014-2015.
7. Please address projected needs in the following areas and indicate how each will support
Program and College Goals. Include information on current status and projected needs.
