Category: Engineering and Science Technology

Librarian Contact: Bolek, Ann

Scope and Purpose:

This collection is established to support the two year programs in chemical technology, electronic technology, manufacturing technology, mechanical technology, drafting technology, and surveying and construction technology, and the four-year programs in mechanical technology and electronic technology. The collection is interdisciplinary, but should primarily cover gaps in the technical collection not covered by the engineering, chemistry, physics, and mathematics collection policies. The works acquired on this policy are less complex in nature and do not require rigorous training in calculus and higher mathematics to use.

Curriculum:

The community and technical college offers the associate in applied science degree in chemical technology, electronic technology, manufacturing technology, mechanical technology, drafting technology, and surveying and construction technology and the bachelor of science degree in mechanical technology and electronic technology. The two-year programs in electronic technology, mechanical technology, and surveying and construction technology and the four-year program in electronic technology are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The curriculum varies from one technology to another; the specific courses include additional chemistry courses, circuits, electronics, business and management courses, technical drawing, mechanics, drafting, surveying, construction, materials testing, control systems, and computer programming.

Geographical Coverage:

The geographical coverage for this fund is almost exclusively the United States.

Language:

English is the only language collected.

Period of Coverage:

The emphasis for acquisition is current materials. Retention is imprint date of the most recent ten years. Serials will be kept for an indefinite period.

Publication Types:

General works, professional works, textbooks, handbooks, journals, codes and standards, and electrical data compilations are collected.

Formats:

Printed materials including microforms are the principal formats collected, about five percent of the collection may be computer software and audio-visual software.

Remote Sources:

No use of remote sources is practical.

Exclusions:

In-depth studies on the subjects described will be covered on the policies of the graduate and baccalaureate departments.
