b. Identify the unique characteristics of each institution’s mission
Hybrid Service and Repair Capitalizing on the surge in alternative fuels, Macomb’s automotive technology faculty and Wayne State University’s (WSU) engineering technology division teamed up to develop electric vehicle curriculum, including a hybrid electric vehicle curriculum that will integrate with Macomb’s existing Associate of Applied Science program. These courses will then seamlessly transfer to Wayne State University’s engineering technology program where students can earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology. This curriculum, which is the first of its kind in southeastern Michigan and unique in the nation, is designed to train professionals to service and repair hybrid electric vehicles.
Center for Advanced Automotive Technology Macomb is a recognized leader in developing educational programming around the evolving fuel and energy technologies utilized by the auto industry. In September 2010, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Macomb a $2.9 million grant to establish the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology, creating the region’s premier repository of advanced automotive technology. These resources will support the college’s work focused on the growing opportunities that relate to the “electrification” of the automobile. As part of a study process, Macomb worked closely with industry partners, higher education and government not only to determine existing needs, but to forecast the future needs of the “electrification” industry. As the electrification of the automobile expands, there will be a growing need for trained technicians not only to service electric vehicles and their components, but also to assist in their manufacturing and ultimate disposal. This new initiative is a major step forward in positioning Macomb’s students and the region for continued industry leadership. Renewable Energy Certificate Program The College offers a Renewable Energy Certificate program on South Campus for both traditional students and those coming back to update their skills. The 16 credit-hour program can stand alone or be woven into an associate’s degree program. The College has utilized over $700,000 in federal grants to develop its green curriculum and purchase equipment. In addition, funding from another federal grant for $135,000 was used to create a training program for those in the construction industry on weatherizing and retrofitting existing homes and other buildings using the latest in green technologies. Defense, Aerospace, and Homeland Security Training Macomb was awarded more than $5 million in new grant money to support the growth and future development of the defense and homeland security industry in southeast Michigan. Macomb is providing technical training to area residents to prepare them for jobs in this growing sector. The funds were used to prepare military veterans and displaced workers for jobs and advancement in the Michigan defense industry. As part of the grant, Macomb has worked with several partners including General Dynamics Land Systems, Wayne State University, L’Anse Creuse Public Schools, the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. Training Partnership with the Construction Trades A new pathway for area union construction trades workers to earn a college degree has been created thanks to a series of new articulation agreements reached between Macomb and five construction union groups. Under the agreement between Macomb and the unions, each of the organizations will provide credit to apprentice workers for training received by the opposite partner. The following organizations are participating:
Detroit Carpenter Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee
Local 80 Sheet Metal Training Center
Michigan Laborers Training & Apprenticeship Institute
Millwright Local 1102 Apprenticeship Program
Greater Detroit Cement Masons Joint Apprenticeship Committee
Depending on the particular program, a graduate apprentice could receive up to 32 credit hours at Macomb for completion of the apprenticeship training. The credits would apply to an Associate of Applied Science degree. Those who complete Engineering and Advanced Technology courses at Macomb and then enter an apprenticeship program with one of the partners could receive credit of up to one year of related training instruction. Macomb is working with labor unions that represent workers in other construction trades areas to create similar partnerships. Michigan Technical Education Center (M-TEC) Macomb Community College’s Michigan Technical Education Center (M-TEC) is a 40,600 square foot, $7.5 million facility on the site of the former Warren Tank Plant. This dynamic learning environment is distinguished by its design, which includes robotic training cells, integrated CAD/CAM and a large flexible high-bay space that can be rapidly adapted to meet any business’ training requirements. The M-TEC also houses a resource center, computer labs and classrooms offering the most advanced training technologies. The programs offered are industry-driven, flexible, accessible, and designed to address the challenges of today’s marketplace. The Robotic Training Cells at Macomb’s M-TEC are ideal for training a variety of students from maintenance technicians to engineers. These instructional labs offer students the opportunity to learn current, real-world industry applications for robotic handling of materials in a fully functional manufacturing cell. Here the student is given the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to the robotics and systems actually involved in advanced manufacturing processes, rather than only on desktop trainers or simulators. Public Service Institute Police, Fire, and EMS services are demanding occupations that require thorough training and education. Macomb's Public Service Institute (PSI) educates students and working professionals for positions of responsibility and leadership in public service that includes police, fire, paramedic, and industrial health & safety training. We unite students with peers, instructors, and community partners to help students obtain a meaningful education and occupational experience to be prepared for careers in these areas. Macomb's PSI also provides training for individuals within businesses and industry who are responsible for emergency services and industrial safety functions. Our comprehensive training enhances safety, protection, and emergency response services within a business. Additionally, our programs provide knowledge and technical skills pertaining to Homeland Security. Our training enhances the tactical and operational preparedness of first responders and emergency personnel to safely and effectively manage emergencies. Achieving the Dream Macomb Community College is proud to be one of over 160 colleges selected to participate in Achieving the Dream (AtD), a multi-year national initiative. In fall 2013, Macomb achieved Leader College Status in this initiative. The goal of AtD is to increase community college student success, with a special focus on under-prepared students, low-income students, and students of color—groups that have traditionally been at a
disadvantage educationally. Through our participation in AtD, Macomb looks forward to seeing more students complete developmental and college-level courses successfully, stay enrolled from one term to the next, and earn the certificates and degrees they need to be successful in the workplace. Achieving the Dream Interventions All of Macomb’s interventions have the goal of increasing student success through increasing success in developmental courses, successful transition from developmental to college-level work, and term-to-term persistence. 1. College Success Course – CSSK-1200 Newly designed, three-credit course for entering students based on a research-based, holistic approach to student development. Beginning with the fall 2013 semester, this course was made mandatory for students with developmental placements in Reading, Math, and English. 2. More Frequent Math Developmental math classes meet three times per week instead of one or two times, with no increase in contact hours or change in course outcomes. 3. Everyday Math Course This is a new math course focusing on applications of math in the solution of everyday problems. It is a college-level course that transfers to Macomb’s major transfer partners in fulfillment of their math requirement. 4. Professional Development - Working with At-Risk Students An 8-week professional development program designed to help faculty be more effective in their work with at-risk students in the classroom. Workforce and Continuing Education (WCE) Macomb’s Career Academic departments extend the college’s tradition of education and service by providing job skills and lifelong learning opportunities that measurably improve the quality of life for individuals in the Macomb County region. Workforce and Continuing Education can be categorized into the following: Career Training: Assists individuals seeking immediate entry-level employment, new career opportunities, retraining, and skills upgrades for the workplace. Corporate Training: For businesses seeking to upgrade incumbent employee proficiency in technical and professional areas, and those seeking to find and train new employees. Workforce Assessment: Assessment and test preparation courses that address the workforce development needs of local and regional employers, trade and labor organizations, economic and workforce development organizations, and educational systems and institutions. Entrepreneurial Training: Geared to small business owners, entrepreneurs, and those agencies and individuals involved in economic and job development in the community.
Personal Enrichment: Opportunities for individuals to pursue special interests in art, language, culture, and wellness. Workforce and Continuing Education programs directly align with academic career programs to enhance non-credit to credit career pathways in Engineering and Advanced Technology, Business & Information Technology, and Health & Public Service. This innovation allows Macomb students to advance through progressive levels of training more efficiently and attain labor market payoffs sooner. The workforce development training provided by Macomb demonstrates the College’s continued commitment to supporting the economic development of the community it serves. Macomb provides a multitude of education and training solutions that are delivered through Workforce and Continuing Education academic areas, the Workforce Assessment Center, and Public Service Institute. Macomb provides training and learning solutions to increase productivity and improve the quality of the local workforce. In an era of rapid technological change, globalization, and economic pressure, businesses can benefit from a workforce development program customized to meet their needs. . Delivery methods can include:

Community Enrichment In addition to the 48,000 students who enroll in Macomb's credit and non-credit programs each year, nearly 375,000 people participate in its community service programs, such as the Center for Performing Arts (which annually offers over 700 cultural events) and the family and athletic events at the College’s 61,000 square-foot Sports and Expo Center (the only expo space in Macomb County), and other special events and venues hosted by the College.
The Macomb Center for the Performing Arts annually hosts more than 100,000 visitors. The Macomb Center is the only entity in Macomb County designated as an Anchor Organization by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, which identifies institutions with the capacity, financially and institutionally, to implement multi-level programs that are widely recognized within their region as hubs of significant arts and cultural activity. Capitalizing on its existing comprehensive community enrichment offerings, on September 28, 2006, the college launched what is now called the Albert L. Lorenzo Cultural Center, which is adjacent to the renowned Center for the Performing Arts. The cultural center has become a place for discovery, creating a venue where people can explore the historical and current experience that shape the community’s heritage. The Center operates on a philosophy of fostering partnerships and collaboration to augment existing assets already available in the community, while bringing new cultural resources and experiences to the residents of Macomb County. Programming for the Cultural Center is designed to explore topics from a variety of perspectives, creating multidimensional experiences that provide interactive opportunities for learning, celebration, and entertainment. The center has been recognized with awards from the Historical Society of Michigan and the Michigan Museums Association. The Center presents major program series each year, featuring exhibits, presentations, activities, and performances. Since opening in the fall of 2006, the center has attracted nearly 117,000 visitors, including class visits from elementary to high schools, bringing classroom learning to life. It should be noted that most of the Cultural Center events are free of charge. Career Services Career Services supports student learning by providing students and alumni with the tools necessary to bridge education with employment. Through the various types of resources Macomb offers, we help students identify their career and educational goals. Seminars on such topics as, “Branching Out for Success,” “Resume Basics,” “Soft Skills Essentials,” “Job Fair Boot Camp,” “Commencement 2 Careers,” among many others, help students and alumni identify the skills necessary to become successful when seeking employment opportunities and developing the confidence to pursue their career aspirations. Center for Teaching and Learning The major technology enhancements in the area of teaching have significantly improved the ability of the faculty to deliver curriculum in a variety of modes reflective of the learning preferences of their students. To support using instructional technology in the classroom, the College created the Center for Teaching and Learning which is designed to serve as a “one-stop shop” and professional development training center for full-time and adjunct faculty members. The center offers assistance with a wide variety of instructional and personal development topics such as teaching methods, web development, distance learning, curriculum development, and assessment. Training and the sharing of best practices, as facilitated by the Center for Teaching and Learning, allow the faculty to optimize their utilization of the College’s technology resources while enhancing their classroom content deliveries. Student Life and Leadership The Student Life & Leadership Office seeks to enhance the student experience by offering diverse programs and opportunities that build community, develop leadership skills and create global awareness.
Students are offered opportunities to connect to campus life through many student organizations, volunteer programs, social events, educational programs, diversity programs, leadership workshops and recreational tournaments. Service Learning Macomb offers many ways for students to get involved in the community through Service Learning. Many faculty members also include service learning opportunities in their curriculum. Macomb also collaborates with various organizations in the community who sponsor fund raisers throughout the year that benefit student organizations. H.O.P.E. (Helping Others Professional Enterprise) is a student organization at Macomb that is focused on one main idea: to make a difference. Through H.O.P.E., Macomb students get involved and give back to their communities by volunteering time through community service and fund raising. Student Options for Success (SOS) The SOS program connects students with a variety of community and public benefit organizations to help them with living expenses while pursuing higher education. Academic success is a priority, but many students still struggle with basic expenses such as food, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare while in school. The SOS program helps students find resources to support their attainment of educational goals by providing tools for ongoing financial stability and long-term self-sufficiency. High School Course Transfer (Articulation) Macomb has a similar positive working relationship with all of the county’s high schools and the intermediate school district, from which three out of four college-bound seniors in the county attend Macomb within five years of their high school graduation; Macomb currently has approximately 185 formal articulations agreements with the county school districts. Macomb University Center (UC) - Transfer & Articulation Macomb has over one hundred articulation and/or transfer agreements with four-year colleges and universities throughout the state and nation. Transfer Pathways Students intending to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree need to make early decisions concerning an academic major and a transfer destination. Statistics show that students who make these decisions early are more likely to persist to graduation than their undecided counterparts. Macomb established a landmark on the higher education landscape when it built its University Center, one of the first community college-driven initiatives in the nation to provide access to bachelor’s degree completion and master’s degree programs. Eleven “partner” institutions offer students an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree or master’s degree in 80 programs. The current University Center partners are Central Michigan University, Ferris State University, Madonna University, Michigan State University, Northern Michigan University, Oakland University, Rochester College, University of Detroit Mercy, Walsh College, Wayne State University, and Northwood University.
List of transfer programs to universities: http://www.macomb.edu/University+Center/Programs.htm Annually, more than 4,500 students are enrolled in over 600 sections at the Macomb University Center (UC), pursuing bachelor, master's and doctoral degrees in fields from business, computer science, and elementary education to engineering, health services, and counseling. This center is now larger than some of Michigan’s smaller community colleges and several of its independent universities. The UC is an innovative concept that was pioneered by Macomb in 1991. The Macomb University Center started out with nearly 25 classrooms, state-of-the-art engineering and computer labs, along with a lecture hall that has tiered seating and is equipped for multimedia presentations. To further support the growth of new degree programs being offered at the UC, Macomb completed the addition of two additional buildings – UC2 was opened in 2000 and UC3 in 2007. The Macomb University Center includes a 25,000-square-foot Executive and Professional Development Center (PDC). The PDC opened in the fall of 2001 and was specifically designed to offer an exceptional learning environment. The delivery of the latest technologies is utilized to create a distinctive place where executives and professionals can update their skills and competencies. Every year over 11,000 people attend over 300 events hosted at the Professional Development Center and the Macomb University Center. In fall of 2006, Oakland University (OU) and Macomb started a new partnership called Macomb to Oakland. This agreement was the first dual-degree program in Michigan, offering joint admission and concurrent enrollment at both Oakland University and Macomb. Students apply once to attend both institutions and receive coordinated financial aid at both. Now fully operational, Macomb to Oakland allows students to simultaneously take classes at both institutions, working toward their associate’s degree through Macomb. Credits seamlessly transfer and are applied towards a bachelor’s degree at OU. In 2008, Wayne State University and Macomb began the Wayne Direct program. Similar to the Macomb to Oakland program, WayneDirect is for Macomb Community College students who want to get a head start on earning their bachelor’s degree from Wayne State. Concurrent enrollment allows the flexibility of courses at both institutions, broadens course availability and location of courses. Another option is to join Wayne State University’s Irvin D. Reid Honors College as Honors WayneDirect students. Walsh College and Macomb created an accelerated program that allows students to earn their ABA then BBA then MBA seamlessly in five years instead of the standard six years. Under this new program, students begin their studies at Macomb and attain their associate’s degree at Macomb The student then has the option of taking another year’s worth of courses at Macomb (at a substantial cost savings) before completing the remainder of their MBA requirements through Walsh. Walsh offers both the bachelor’s and master’s level courses conveniently located on Macomb’s Center Campus through the Macomb University Center. Macomb continues to expand its number of “3+1” programs, which allow students to complete three years of studies at Macomb and then transfer to a bachelor’s degree program at four-year institutions for the final year of study. Northwood University recently became the latest partner institution to offer this option to Macomb students. Other UC partnering institutions offering 3+1 programs include Ferris State University, Madonna University, University of Detroit Mercy, Rochester College, Walsh College and Wayne State University.
In 2009, Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM) celebrated the opening of UC4, its new campus at Macomb’s University Center. The $8.9 million, 12,000-square-foot addition was built to house specialized space dedicated to MSUCOM. The event marked the culmination of several years of planning from the university’s expansion into Macomb County, where 200 osteopathic medicine students take classes at the nation’s only medical school on a community college campus. The 200,000-square-foot University Center complex (UC1, UC2, UC3, UC4 and the PDC) is comprised of more than 40 regular classrooms, 25 specialty/computer labs, two, tiered auditoriums, student lounges/study areas, and large banquet-type hall as well as office and support space for all UC partners. Early College of Macomb - A college access, college ready model
Macomb Community College and the Macomb Intermediate School District have partnered to provide a great educational opportunity for the high school students in Macomb County. The Early College of Macomb (ECM) provides a formal concurrent enrollment program for grades 11-13 that focuses on students being academically and emotionally ready for the rigors of college life.

Public Service Institute Trade Adjustment and Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant (TAACCCT) In September 2013, Macomb Community College, on behalf of the Michigan Coalition for Advanced Manufacturing (M-CAM), was awarded a $24.9 million U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) grant. The funding will support the efforts of eight Michigan community colleges to leverage growing opportunities in advanced manufacturing, directly responding to employer needs and preparing individuals for jobs in computer numerical control (CNC) machining, welding/fabrication, multi-skilled technician and
production operations. Those targeted for training include displaced workers, employed workers who require skills upgrading, and veterans. Funding from the four-year grant will cover upgrades to the colleges’ manufacturing technology to current employer standards, development of new educational offerings and delivery methods, and the training of 2,738 individuals. In addition to Macomb College, the other community colleges in the coalition are: Bay (Escanaba), Grand Rapids, Kellogg (Battle Creek), Lake Michigan College (Benton Harbor), Lansing, Mott (Flint) and Schoolcraft College (Livonia). Selection of the four job sectors was the result of an exhaustive market analysis, including direct employer input. The M-CAM approach features education and training that promotes job readiness skills, basic skill development, pathways to certificates/degrees, employer involvement, multiple methods of course delivery – including online/hybrid, and career services. Another goal of the coalition is to align the curriculum for these programs across all eight colleges, which will be a first in the State of Michigan. This will not only provide for mobility for students between community colleges but will also offer employers assurance of consistently trained job candidates. Macomb Community College will provide leadership for the coalition. Macomb’s portion of the grant is $9.6 million, the largest competitive grant award the college has ever received. It will provide funding for equipment upgrades to its Michigan Technical Training Center (M-TEC) in Warren that include laser alignment, robotics vision systems, RFID (radio frequency identification) tag reader conveyor, CNC robot load/unload, overhead monorail paint robot, AB and Siemens training stations, VFD (variable frequency drives) and CMM (coordinate measurement machine). Macomb will also be training more than 500 individuals in all four of the job sectors: CNC machining, welding/fabrication, multi-skilled technician and production operations. Macomb wrapped up a three-year, $4.9 million DOL grant earlier this year, which focused on preparing displaced workers for advanced manufacturing jobs in the defense sector. The college trained 2,558 individuals, 145 percent of the grant’s goal, directly matching 1,279 to jobs. Michigan New Jobs Training Program Designed as an economic development tool, the Michigan New Jobs Training Program allows community colleges to provide free training for employers that are creating new jobs and/or expanding operations in Michigan. The training for the newly hired workers is paid by capturing the state income tax associated with the new employees' wages. This is a local program where individual community colleges work directly with employers and local economic development to support job creation. There are no restrictions by industry or employer size. Community College Research Center (CCRC) Funded by the Kresge Foundation, this three-year project, structuring the Student Experience for Success, is a partnership between Macomb College and the Community College Research Center (CCRC). The purpose of the project is to respond to the “problem of complexity” by conducting research to provide recommendations for improvement to in-take processes. Based on the research findings, the College made the following changes:
Redesigned the entire admissions process
Reordered steps to entry with greater emphasis on importance of placement testing
Macomb Easy Start 1-2-3 – Renamed Admissions Process
Redesigned New Student Orientation
Redesigned the College Catalog
Created Student Service Labs The redesigned admissions project has shown positive results. This project was selected as Macomb’s Quality Initiative in preparation of its reaccreditation with the Higher Learning Commission. Higher Learning Commission Reaccreditation Every ten years, Macomb Community College must renew its accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Accreditation is required to maintain the college’s eligibility for federal financial and student aid programs, as well as to apply for grants that help support programs and services. This is a comprehensive process that will touch every aspect of the college, and it is designed to ensure that the institution is meeting established quality standards. The College is preparing to renew its accreditation with the HLC in 2016-2017 and has chosen the Open Pathway, which separates the continued accreditation process into two components: the Assurance Review and the Quality Initiative. The Open Pathway seeks to achieve the following goals:
• To enhance institutional value by opening the improvement aspect of accreditation so that institutions may choose Quality Initiatives to suit their current circumstances
• To reduce the reporting burden on institutions by utilizing as much information and data as
possible from existing institutional processes and collecting them in electronic form as they naturally occur over time
• To enhance rigor by checking institutional data annually (Institutional Update) and conducting
Assurance Reviews twice in the ten-year cycle • To integrate as much as possible all HLC processes and HLC requests for data into the
reaffirmation of accreditation cycle
Satisfaction Surveys
Macomb has conducted student satisfaction surveys for the purpose of determining students’ satisfaction with a wide range of experiences (e.g. classroom instruction, academic advising, registration, and support services) and to assess the extent to which their expectations in these areas are being met. The results of these surveys help to assess Macomb Community College’s current strengths and weaknesses as perceived by students and help it to prioritize its future actions and resources directed at improving Macomb’s ability to meet the needs of its students. Surveys- Responses captured from:
Advisory Committees
Students
Faculty
Community Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE) CCSSE, administered in the spring, at three year intervals, surveys credit students and gathers information about their overall college experience. It focuses on educational practices and student behaviors associated with higher levels of learning, persistence, and completion. CCFSSE is administered in conjunction with CCSSE to all faculty teaching credit courses in the academic term during which the college is participating in the student survey. The faculty survey reports on instructors’ perceptions about student experiences as well as data about their teaching practices and use of professional time. The College uses the data from both surveys to support and strengthen student learning and success. Surveys- Responses captured from: Programs Voluntary Framework of Accountability The Voluntary Framework of Accountability is a system for reporting community college progress and outcomes using measures appropriate to community colleges developed specifically for community colleges, by community colleges. The initiative was born out of recognition that commonly used measures do not adequately capture data on progress and outcomes for community colleges. In summer and fall of 2013, Macomb Community College participated in Beta-Testing of the system, along with 109 other community colleges. Initiative Leaders: American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT), and the College Board Policy and Advocacy Center. Funders: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Lumina Foundation. Need Studies – Academic Program Macomb Community College conducts occupational need studies to determine the present and future employment needs of the community. Occupational need studies are conducted prior to the introduction of new programs and may occur at times during the life of existing programs. Often the advisability of offering a program is not determined until a need study has been completed and job opportunities identified. Potential programs may be suggested for need studies by sources inside and outside the College. Program Review in Occupational Education The Program Review in Occupational Education (PROE) provides the procedures and instrumentation for a college to self-study an occupational program through collecting the perceptions of a variety of individuals involved. The College’s Occupational programs grew out of an expressed need for a comprehensive planned approach to evaluating community college occupational programs. Included in the PROE are:
Equipment and technology review
Student Flow Model
Program Self-Study
Financial Analysis
Management Plan
College focus
Local initiation of the process
Local administration of the activity
Quantitative and qualitative data gathering and study
Self-study with voluntary validation
Individual program orientation

III. Staffing and Enrollment
III. Staffing and Enrollment
Colleges and universities must include staffing and enrollment trends in the annual 5‐year comprehensive master plans. This component should: a. Describe current full and part‐time student enrollment levels by academic program and define how the
programs are accessed by the student (i.e., main or satellite campus instruction, collaboration efforts with other institutions, Internet or distance learning, etc.)
More than three‐quarters of Macomb’s students are enrolled in four main program groups. The largest is
liberal arts and sciences, in which nearly 10,400 (44%) students are enrolled. These are programs that are
primarily designed to prepare students for transferring to four‐year institutions. The next largest program
group is health services, in which roughly 4,500 (19%) students are enrolled. Approximately 2,900 students
(12%) are enrolled in business‐related programs. And, just over 2,100 (9%) are enrolled in computers, IT
and engineering programs. Although not quite as large as the above program groups, Macomb educates a
significant number of individuals in the areas of public safety (870), precision manufacturing (535), and
culinary arts (445).
See Appendix A for student enrollment levels by academic program. Online Learning, Center for Teaching and Learning
Online Learning has experienced dramatic growth in the use of the College’s Learning Management System (LMS). The Online Learning Department within the Center for Teaching and Learning administers the College’s LMS. Currently over 50,000 students access the LMS on an annual basis (duplicated headcount) to take online or hybrid classes or through on‐ground web‐enhanced classes. This represents a 538% increase in students using the LMS over the past five years.
The reason for this growth is in part due to the many benefits that faculty and students have experienced. Some of those benefits are:
Extending the learning beyond the physical classroom Communicating with classmates and instructors outside the classroom Access grades, the course syllabus or other related course materials anytime and anywhere
within a secure environment
Use of a centralized LMS has proliferated not only at Macomb, but within higher education across the country. According to the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) 2012 Report, 88% of students use LMS and 50% wish faculty used it more. According to this same study, an institution’s LMS has become a baseline resource students expect to encounter in most of their courses.
The College’s LMS gives students the flexibility to take online or hybrid classes as well as providing access to supplemental information for their on‐ground classes. When students take online classes, all course interactions are facilitated through the LMS. This offers many students an opportunity to take classes they may not otherwise be able to due to family, work, transportation, time, or other constraints related to time and location. Over the past five years, online courses enrollment has increase over 85%.
Hybrid courses provide a combination of hands‐on, face‐to‐face instruction and online activities. This gives students the ability to do some of their coursework from home, while interacting with their colleagues and performing laboratory exercises in the classroom. Hybrid course enrollment has increased over 90% over the past 5 years.
Over that same time period, Macomb has supported an ever increasing reliance on electronic teaching, learning and communication through the web‐enhancing of on‐ground classes. Supplemental course information is accessed online by students via the College’s LMS. In 2007, this was not offered to students and now over 39,000 students annually (duplicated headcount) receive supplemental information through web‐enhanced classes.
Every academic program area of the College uses the LMS in some capacity. Usage spans across credit and non‐credit programs and includes workforce education training and dual enrolled high school students.
b. Project enrollment patterns over the next five years (including distance learning initiatives)
Projections of national public community college enrollment by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) were used to generate estimates of future head count at Macomb. These projections explicitly take account of factors likely to influence head count at Macomb, such as demographic factors affecting the size of high school graduating classes. Indeed, analysis revealed a strong correlation between the yearly changes in head count at Macomb for the 2003 through 2012 period and yearly changes implied by the NCES actual and projected national public, community college head count totals for the same period (r = .81). Using fall 2012 head count at Macomb as a starting point, the yearly changes underlying the NCES projections through 2013 were used to estimate head count at Macomb for fall 2013 through fall 2017. Estimated 90% error bands centered on the point estimates were derived from the empirical prediction error distribution of the trend model estimated for the 2003 through 2012 period using the implied yearly changes in the NCES head count projections. The mean absolute prediction error for this period is only 1.3%, and 90% of the absolute prediction errors for the period were less than or equal to 2.1%, resulting in an empirically estimated 90% confidence interval with a width of 4.2%. Given concerns about the extent to which the model used for the national NCES projections accurately reflected the forces influencing enrollment at Macomb, however, it was felt advisable to use the 90% lower confidence level to estimate head count at Macomb from fall 2013 through fall 2017.

c. Evaluate enrollment patterns over the last five years
The College’s fall 2012 credit head count was 24,160, which was down 0.7% from the previous fall semester,
while the credit hours (214,814) decreased by 1.2%.
The College’s FY 2012‐13 non‐credit enrollment decreased 10.3% from that of the previous fiscal year.

e. Project future staffing needs based on 5‐year enrollment estimates and future programming changes
Projected staffing levels are expected to remain approximately the same as the current level over the next five years.
f. Identify current average class size and projected average class size based on the institution’s mission and
planned programming changes
Since average class size is a function of numerous factors—such as head count and average credit hour load and policies and practice regarding the assignment of faculty to classes—each of which can only be estimated with considerable uncertainty, any projections of class size are inherently uncertain. Given the absence of a clear trend in the most recent five years of data, the average (21.9) of this most recent data represents the best estimate for fall 2013 and beyond.

I±. Facility Assessment A professionally developed comprehensive facilities assessment is required. The assessment must identify and evaluate the overall condition of capital facilities under college control. The description must include facility age, use patterns, and an assessment of general physical condition. The assessment must specifically identify: a. Summary description of each facility (administrative, classroom, biology, hospital and etc.)
according to categories outlined in “net-to-gross ratio guidelines for various building types,” DMB-Office of Design and Construction Major Project Design Manual, appendix 7. If facility is of more than one “type”, please identify the percentage of each type within a given facility.
Macomb Community College hired the services of Integrated Design Solutions in 2009 and Hobbs & Black in 2012 to conduct facility condition assessments of the College’s south and center campuses, respectively. The facility condition assessments are available on the College’s public website. The assessments include summary descriptions of each facility, functionality of existing structures and space allocation, utility system condition, facility infrastructure condition and adequacy of existing utilities and infrastructure systems in their current state.
b. Building and /or classroom utilization rates (Percentage of rooms used, and percent capacity).
Identify building/classroom usage rates for peak (M-F, 10-3), off-peak (M-F, 8-10 am, 3-5 pm) evening and weekend periods.
At this time, Macomb Community College does not have an effective way of reporting building and classroom utilization rates from the software currently used to plan for and schedule classes.
c. Mandated facility standards for specific programs, were applicable (i.e., federal/industry standards
for laboratory, animal, or agricultural research facilities, hospitals, use of industrial machinery, etc.)
All of Macomb Community College’s programs fully comply with all applicable laws, general industry safety and health standards, construction safety and health standards, and administrative standards authorized by Public Acts and promulgated by OSHA, MIOSHA and other regulatory agencies.
d. Functionality of existing structures and space allocation to program areas served.
See facility condition assessment in the links below: South Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2009 Center Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2012
e. Replacement value of existing facilities (insured value of structure to the extent available).
The replacement value of the College’s facilities is posted to the College website as the 2012-13 Policy Property List Report as prepared by the Michigan Community College Risk Management Authority.
f. Utility system condition (i.e., heating, ventilation, and air conditioning [HVAC], water and sewage, electrical, etc.).
See facility condition assessment in the links below: South Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2009 Center Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2012
g. Facility infrastructure condition (i.e., roads, bridges, parking structures, lots, etc.).
See facility condition assessment in the links below: South Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2009 Center Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2012
h. Adequacy of existing utilities and infrastructure systems to current and 5-year projected
programmatic needs.
See facility condition assessment in the links below: South Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2009 Center Campus Facility Condition Assessment 2012
i. Does the institution have an enterprise-wide energy plan? What are its goals? Have energy audits
been completed on all facilities, if not, what is the plan/timetable for completing such audits?
Macomb Community College plans to reduce energy consumption and costs through the renovation of aged facilities as prioritized through the facility condition assessments. Energy audits have not been completed on the facilities as the buildings are not individually metered to track consumption and the cost to do so is significant. The College has researched grant funding for this purpose, but thus far has not found any viable funding sources to assist in this endeavor.
j. Land owned by the institution, and include a determination of whether capacity exits for future
development, additional acquisitions are needed to meet future demands, or surplus land can be conveyed for a different purpose.
At this time, the land owned by the College is considered to be sufficient for capacity.
k. What portions of existing buildings, if any, are currently obligated to the State building Authority and when these State Building Authority leases are set to expire.
The following buildings are currently obligated to the State Building Authority through the following lease expiration dates: University Center II (Tag CD: 99143); 2019 Emergency Training Center (Tag CD: 99248); 2028 Health Science and Technology (Tag CD: 99249); 2028
V. Implementation Plan
The 5-year comprehensive master plan should identify the schedule, by which the institution proposes to address major capital deficiencies, and:
a. Prioritize major capital projects requested from the State, including a brief project
description and estimated cost, in the format provided. (Adjust previously developed or prior year’s figures utilizing industry standard CPI indexes where appropriate). The highest priority Capital Outlay Project Request is the College’s South Campus C-Building as submitted as the 2015 Project and as approved for planning authorization in PA 102 of 2013.
b. If applicable, provide an estimate relative to the institution’s current deferred maintenance
backlog. Define the impact of addressing deferred maintenance and structural repairs, including programmatic impact, immediately versus over the next five years.
The College’s current deferred maintenance backlog (DMB) is in the facility assessment condition reports posted to the College website. Given the current and increasing DMB, the College Board of Trustees approved a three year renovation plan so that the aging facilities can be renovated in a planned and phased-in approach as it is impossible to address all of the needs immediately and serve the needs of students and community. Renovations are scheduled as follows and will be funded from the capital projects fund, technology fund and general fund via the facility and technology fee: 2014: South Campus E-Building (FCI of 22% deficient / poor condition); University Center Building-1 HVAC, Lighting, ADA and Roofing; Center Campus J-Building HVAC and chiller; Center Campus-S Building HVAC; parking lots and roadways at center and east campuses; 12 Mile Road crosswalk; safety/agency requirements, site work and exterior and interior work. Total projected costs: $15,648,349. 2015: South Campus C-Building (FCI of 23% deficient / poor condition) subject to construction and funding approval by the State of Michigan; Center Campus F-Building (FCI of 42% deficient / poor condition); Center Campus F-Building roof; safety/agency requirements, site work and exterior and interior work. Total projected costs: $13,898,049. 2016: South Campus G and H-Buildings (FCI of 22% deficient / poor condition) and Center Campus A-Building (FCI of 30% deficient / poor condition); Center Campus K-Building roof; South Campus G and H-Building roof; safety/agency requirements, site work and exterior and interior work. Total projected costs: $18,165,86.
c. Include that status of on-going projects financed with State Building Authority resources and explain how completion coincides with the overall 5-year plan.
There are no ongoing projects financed with State Building Authority resources.
d. Identify to the extent possible, a rate of return on planned expenditures. This could be expressed as operational “savings” that a planned capital expenditure would yield in future years.
Not Applicable
e. Where applicable, consider alternatives to new infrastructure, such as distance learning.
Not Applicable
f. Identify a maintenance schedule for major maintenance items in excess of $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2015 through fiscal year 2019.
See facility condition assessment on website and provided in the summary by year of the projects approved by the Board. We do not have authorization beyond 2016.
g. Identify the amount of non-routine maintenance the institution has budgeted for in its current fiscal year and relevant sources of financing.

1. Describe the project purpose
In order to appropriately position the Business Administration, Information Technology, Humanities, and Health
programs for the future it is important to provide an updated physical presence at the College’s South Campus
by renovating C-Building. A substantial renovation of C-Building will address current deficiencies, meet current
ADA requirements, and improve the learning environment for our students for many years to come. C-Building
currently functions as a general classroom building for a variety of career-related and general education classes
and contains several computer labs.
The original buildings at Macomb Community College’s South Campus were built between 1964 and 1969.
Despite the fact that minor renovations, repairs and general maintenance have been performed over the last 40
plus years the infrastructure of South Campus C-Building no longer supports the needs of our current students
and faculty. South Campus C-Building is not energy efficient, no longer complies with many of the current
accessibility and code requirements and the roof is nearing the end of its expected life span. Mechanically and
electrically, all systems are aged, outdated, inefficient, limited with respect to capacity and in need of
replacement. Classrooms are small, lack flexibility, and need to be mediated and currently the building is not
equipped with the advanced systems necessary to support the technology needed to effectively teach in today’s
college classroom.
2. Describe the scope of the project.
Dedicated space and upgraded classrooms are required to support the Center for Health Careers, the
Humanities program, and the Business and Information Technology program housed in South Campus C-
Building. The renovations will also allow increase interaction between students and staff.
Center Health Careers
The health career area located on the first floor needs additional office space to house faculty and professional
staff.
Additional sinks need to be added in classrooms to address the health and hygiene requirements that all
students and staff must follow in the curriculum for this program.
Humanities Program
Speech and Media Communication classrooms need to be upgraded to include sound studios, track lighting and
sound proof flooring to meet the current standards of broadcasting.
At least one art classroom needs to include appropriate drawing tables and seating.
More efficient use of space will provide room for the Foreign Language classes to be located in the same
building with other Humanities classes allowing for greater peer-to-peer communication across the liberal arts
disciplines, thereby enhancing the Liberal Arts experience of our students.
Business and Information Technology Program
Enrollment in the Business and Information Technology disciplines increased between 2006 and 2010. There
was increased enrollment in Information Technology classes by an average of 8% per year and enrollment in
Business Administration classes increased by 7% per year. These increased enrollments now require the
institution to more efficiently use the existing space.
Classrooms should be designed to function interchangeably as general classrooms and computer labs by using
flexible/portable seating and learning surfaces coupled with basic computer/ Internet connectivity. These are
features of classrooms which support best practices in teaching and learning. These changes should allow the
classrooms to accommodate up to 35 students.
Higher end, specialized computer labs are required for networking, information security, and operating systems
classes. Seating for 24 students and sufficient space to store and work with a substantial amount of hardware
and supporting equipment is necessary.
Additional Improvements
Department offices for administrators and clerical staff should be relocated near the main entrance so staff is
easily accessible to students. Department offices are currently located at the south-end of the building while the
main entrance is at the north-end. Additional faculty offices currently located throughout the building should be
grouped in suites close to the departmental offices in order to maximize peer to peer communication and
collaboration. These changes will also improve communication with students and allow staff to assist them
finding their way around the building.
The renovated building will incorporate student meeting areas and provide minor renovations for Plant
Operations and the Campus Police department.
3. How does the project enhance the core academic and/or research mission of the institution?
The state’s investment in the renovation of South Campus C-Building will result in a more conducive learning
environment for its residents which will allow them to obtain higher skill levels and educational credentials
which will ultimately have a positive economic impact on the County.
4. How does the project enhance Michigan’s talent enhancement, job creation and economic growth
initiatives on a local, regional and/or statewide basis?
This project incorporates the State of Michigan’s Industry Clusters by supporting training needs and skill gaps in the workforce. The clusters that are present in this project will be; health care, information technology, and courses that support degrees in manufacturing.
Macomb realizes the demand for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) attainment is critical for students, the community, and the institution to thrive. Our goal is to support STEM educational offerings by improving our faciltiies and creating innovating programs in all areas. Macomb is earmarking funding sources to support STEM education and STEM-related workforce skills by doing the following:
Utilizing the Trade Adjustment and Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant (TAACCCT) which was awarded to the college and will produce STEM curriculum and training programs.
Engaging business to help ensure that the college meets regional STEM-skill needs. Supporting and implementing new models of STEM education. Strengthening existing successful programs in STEM and developing innovative programs to prepare
students for professional positions in growing and emerging areas, such as the advanced manufacturing, information technology and health care professions.
Designing and/or strengthening university partners’ programs by strengthening the colleges educational technology programs through both curriculum and infracture improvements.
Developing collaborative programs within and outside to increase STEM academic offerings, increase STEM enrollment.
Improving and updating physical space and infrastructure to support STEM programs.
Macomb promotes science and technology education among adult, non-traditional, and international students
to prepare them to enter or advance in STEM-related careers.
Macomb partners with employers, unions, community-based organizations, professional studies, and continuing
education providers to offer workforce development programs in growing and emerging STEM areas.
The College utlizes Labor/InsightTM (Burning Glass) an interactive, report-generating application that delivers
real-time access to a comprehensive database of real-time demand data on the national, state, and regional
level. It’s a unique source of insight on what’s happening right now in the labor market, powered by the job
postings in which employers express their need for workers across the spectrum of industries and occupations.
5. How does the institution measure utilization of its existing facilities, and how does it compare relative to
the established benchmarks? How does the project help to improve the utilization of existing space and
infrastructure, or support the need for additional space and infrastructure?
At this time, Macomb Community College does not have an effective way of reporting building and classroom
utilization rates from the software currently used to plan for and schedule classes. The project will increase
utilization of the spaces by addressing the mechanical and electrical systems, which are all aged, outdated,
inefficient, limited with respect to capacity and in need of replacement. Technologically, the building is not
equipped with the advanced systems necessary to effectively teach in today’s college classroom. Simply
stated, the infrastructure of South Campus C-Building no longer supports the needs of our students and
faculty and improvement will ultimately result in more effective utilization of the facility.
6. Does the project address or mitigate any current life/safety deficiencies relative to existing facilities? If
yes, please explain.
Yes, the South Campus C building Project will incorporate the addition of a full wet fire suppression system.
While the lack of this fire suppressions system system currently poses no immediate danger to life/safety the
addition of this system greatly enhances the life/safety condition of the building.
7. How does the institution intend to integrate sustainable design principles to enhance the efficiency and
operations of the facility?
As Part of the College’s commitment to energy conscious design and sustainable building practices, all
materials and systems will be selected with the USGBC’s LEED Rating system in mind. The building will also
incorporate many green features such as low flow plumbing fixtures, improved building envelope thermal
performance and interior finish selections that improve indoor air quality.
8. Are match resources currently available for the project? If yes, what is the source of the match resources?
If no, identify the intended source and the estimated timeline for securing said resources?
Match resources are available from Macomb Community College’s capital project funds.
9. If authorized for construction, the state typically provides a maximum of 75% of the total cost for
university projects and 50% of the total cost for community college projects. Does the institution intend to
commit additional resources that would reduce the state share from the amounts indicated? If so, by what
amount?
The College has estimated that the budget of $8.5 million will be adequate for the South Campus C-Building
Renovation project.
10. Will the completed project increase operating costs to the institution? If yes, please provide an estimated
cost (annually, and over a five-year period) and indicate whether the institution has identified available
funds to support the additional cost.
The South Campus C-Building Renovation project is not expected to increase operating costs.
11. What impact, if any, will the project have on tuition costs?
The South Campus C-Building Renovation project is not expected to have any impact on tuition costs.
12. If this project is not authorized, what are the impacts to the institution and its students?
Planning authorization was received in PA 102 of 2013.
If the project is not approved, it will be to the detriment of the current and future students of Macomb
Community College. This will impact the institution’s ability to provide a more conducive learning
environment for students and delay the college’s ability to provide residents with advanced skills. .
13. What alternatives to this project were considered? Why is the requested project preferable to those
alternatives?
There is really no alternative for upkeep of the public’s investment in the buildings on the campus of Macomb
Community College. Delaying necessary improvements would lead to further deterioration of the building
resulting in a greater cost to the taxpayers in Macomb County and in the State of Michigan.
Renovating the building is the most effective option since it will allow the College to provide its constituents
with a more conducive learning environment that will serve them well into the future. Renovation is much
more cost effective than new construction and demonstrates to the community the importance of
maintaining the public’s investment in the College’s facilities.
