Teamwork
paying off for
B.O.E. and
Calis:

hat happens when two

distinct programs at

Douglas College work
together on a long term project?
Basic Occupational Education and
Computer Information Systems
are proving it to be a worthwhile
and successful endeavor.

The two disciplines have
developed a plan to manage data
more effectively in the Basic Oc-
cupational Education Electronic
Assembly Program. The team of
students and faculty from both
departments have completed
about a third of their goal.

Lu Ozey, faculty in B.O.E. ex-
plains, "In the past, we have been
faced with a large amount of essen-
tial support data," she says, "even-
tually we would like to use
computer technology to analyze
and organize all of this information."

As a timesaver, Ray Yu, Facul-
ty Advisor for C.I.S. expects the
computerized system will really
pay off. "Data will be more acces-
sible for report writing and
general assessment of skills," he
says, "this will allow faculty to
spend more time with their stu-
dents."

Record keeping which is now
done manually will soon be fully
automated.

"By December or January, the
whole thing will be com-
puterized," says Yu.

With such a good working rap-
port it’s likely that the two
programs will continue to work
together even beyond completion
of the project.

"The spirit of cooperation be-
tween our two disciplines has
been a valuable experience for
both parties," says Ozey, "we plan
to support each other during the
semesters to come." #

Dip You Know....?

e e e eDouglas College’s annual operating revenues are around $25
million, twice as much as revenues ten years ago. Some of the increase
is due to inflation, and some is due to increased enrollment. With that
taken into account, operating revenues per Full Time Equivalent stu-
dent have declined by more than 10 per cent in the last half of the 1980's.
