3. Clinical/Laboratory Evaluation
a. During a clinical evaluation-check off you will be asked routine questions regarding
landmarks, nerves, dosages, etc. related to all injections, as well as nitrous oxide
administration. Correct answers to these questions are considered part of the
achievement of clinical competency.
b. Critical errors related to the administration of local anesthesia or nitrous oxide will require
remediation and repeating the competency evaluation
7
c. Local Anesthesia
You will learn how to give 10 different injections: PSA, MSA, ASA, GP, NP, IA (L), M,
B, GG, and single tooth infiltration. After each injection is first presented and you
have had the opportunity to practice 2 times on different student partners, you will be
expected to perform all tasks associated with the injection, without assistance,
during a clinical evaluation-check off. If you are unable to perform all tasks
associated with an injection, remediation will be necessary prior to re-evaluating the
injection. After remediation, if you still cannot correctly perform each injection, please
refer to the Continuation Policy under Policies and Procedures at DHOnline.
d. Nitrous Oxide
You will also learn how to administer and monitor nitrous oxide. After the procedure
for induction, monitoring, and termination of nitrous oxide is demonstrated and you
have had an opportunity to practice on 2 different student partners, you will be
expected to perform all tasks associated with nitrous oxide administration, without
assistance, during a clinical evaluation-check off. If you are unable to perform all
tasks associated with induction, monitoring, and termination of nitrous oxide,
remediation will be necessary prior to re-evaluation. After remediation, if you still
cannot correctly perform tasks related to nitrous oxide administration, please refer to
the Continuation Policy under Policies and Procedures at DHOnline.
4. Clinical Progress Evaluations for each injection; Critical errors require re-do of injection
B. Laboratory Expectations
Demonstrate clinical competency in the administration of local anesthesia and the administration and
monitoring of nitrous oxide
1. In addition to routine clinical preparation, you will need to bring 2 (two) sterilized syringes to
each clinic/lab session. (These are part of the initial instrument kit you purchased at the start
of the program). Needles and anesthesia cartridges will be provided. Disposable nitrous
oxide masks will also be provided.
2. Due to the nature of course content, classroom attendance is critical. For safety reasons,
you will NOT be allowed to administer local anesthetic injections or nitrous oxide in
clinic/lab if you have not attended the associated lecture. No exceptions. Should you
need to be absent from either the classroom or clinic/lab sessions, it is your responsibility to
inform the instructor in advance (if possible) and arrange for a make-up session. Every effort
will be made to assist students needing to make up a session for valid reasons.
8
COURSE POLICIES:
Course learning activities are designed to enhance your understanding of concepts. Students are expected to
read all assigned material in advance. Please come to class prepared and ready to participate. Please ask
questions during class time. Many times if there is something you do not understand it is likely that others will
have the same question. I may ask you to make an appointment with me for additional clarification. PLEASE
PRINT EACH WEEK’S ASSIGNED MODULES AND BRING TO CLASS.
Clinic/Lab Participation
All students will be required to administer and receive local anesthesia and nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation for
completion of this course. Only students with medical conditions that contraindicate receiving either of these may
be excused from receiving these medications. If you have a medical condition that requires antibiotic prophylaxis,
hypertension, or other compromising health problems, you may be asked to consult your physician and provide a
signed release for participation in the clinic/lab. A medical history update will be completed on the first day of the
course.
If you are not able to receive injections, anesthesia, or sedation, you must notify the instructor within the
first week of the semester, AND you must arrange to provide someone for your partner, who can receive
anesthesia or sedation for you.
Academic Integrity
Students in the dental hygiene program are on their honor. In the event a student does not respect that honor
and flagrantly plagiarizes, cheats, misrepresents the truth, or any other act considered by the academic
community to be illegal, unethical or immoral, that student, at the discretion of the faculty, may be dismissed from
the program.
Remediation
Didactic quizzes and examinations, clinical competency examinations and your self-assessment will be evaluated
in order to determine your progress towards achieving competency. If, by a consensus of instructors and the
program director, you are identified as not meeting minimum competency after a second attempt (didactic and/or
clinical), you will be offered an opportunity for remediation. You will be required to develop an action plan as part
of the remediation process and, with the assistance of the course instructor, define measurable steps for
improvement. It is to your advantage to keep track of your personal progress and seek extra assistance as
necessary. The administration of local anesthesia and nitrous oxide involves the introduction of different
drugs into the human body, therefore, competency associated with this course is considered critical.

Action Requested:
Revise summary of required hours to reflect addition of summer study between years 1
and 2.
Rationale:
Accreditation standards require that our curriculum include training in all functions
which the dental hygienist can legally perform. As of December 2007 dental hygienists
in Tennessee are allowed to administer local anesthesia and nitrous oxide. We are
required to include training for these functions within our curriculum and it is not
possible to do so without adding in the summer semester. We are thus taking advantage
of this opportunity to restructure the curriculum in a manner as to decompress the number
of courses which the students must take in other semesters, which should aid our efforts
in student retention.

Institution: Chattanooga State Technical Community College
(Although all of the following requirements may not be applicable all proposals. Carefully consider the
elements in each area and respond as completely as possible in the format below. Quantification of
performance goals should be included whenever possible.)
Accreditation
• It is the intention of the department to seek accreditation from the TAC/ABET as
soon as possible. Accreditation will be requested when the program has proven the
success of graduates. That is, graduates have been successfully employed for at least
one year, so the request for accreditation will occur three to four years after the
program starts. The process of gaining accreditation will start immediately with the
development and implementation of a continuous improvement plan of setting goals,
plans of action, assessment, etc
Evaluation Plans
The following outcomes are expected.
• Placement of 90% of our graduates in a job related to their major is expected.
• After five years, average 10 graduates per year.
• Retain 2/3 of our students semester by semester.
• Score 80% or better on surveys of student and employer satisfaction.
• Approval of the program's advisory committee when evaluating and improving
the program.
• The Engineering Technology Department, Job Placement Department, and
Institutional Research Departments will work together to assess the success of this
concentration.
Evidence of Demand and Need (Refer to THEC Policy A1.0 and A1.1)
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that job opportunities for Non-Destructive
Testing Technicians field are growing as employers encounter difficulty hiring enough
trained Non-Destructive Testing technicians. According to the US Bureau of Labor
Statistics, as the existing technician workforce nears retirement age, nuclear facilities,
fabricators, engineering companies, and manufacturers will compete with other segments
of the industry for qualified employees for laboratories, hospitals, and electric utilities.
Seventy percent of the total demand for Non-Destructive Testing technicians will come
from the Department of Energy and the power-producing industry, according to the
"Nuclear Pipeline Analysis" study completed by the Nuclear Energy Institute. These
additional jobs will be the result of retirements of existing professionals and the increase
in electrical power related manufacturing and construction.
Many labor reports show that job opportunities are expected to be numerous for trained
NDT technicians. In just three years, the pool of contractor Non-Destructive Testing
technicians has declined significantly due to retirements, expanded services demand, an
increase in power-related manufacturing, and construction of nuclear power plants.
Shortages of technicians may inspire efforts by prospective employers to attract and
retain new hires. As an example of such efforts, employers may provide more flexible
training programs or improve compensation and working conditions. Hospitals, colleges,
vocational-technical institutes, and the U.S. Armed Forces offer preparation in this
vocation.
There is a need for qualified NDT technicians all across the United States. Career
opportunities exist in the aircraft, construction, nuclear power, and manufacturing
industries. Currently, the United States and Canada are the only countries that train,
educate, and certify NDT technicians. The demand for Level III certified NDT
technicians is a world-wide need and certified technicians may travel extensively to cover
the global demand.
Educational Need
According to the US Department of Labor, most employers prefer to hire someone with
at least a 2-year associate degree in engineering technology. Individuals with college
courses in science, engineering, and mathematics may qualify for some positions as NDT
Technicians, but may need additional specialized training and experience. Prospective
NDT technicians should take as many high school science and math courses as possible
to prepare for programs in engineering technology after high school.
This concentration was developed through the use of an industry-led advisory committee
who share a vested interest in a successful program of study through the College.
NDT Advisory Committee
• Program Duplication:
There are currently no similar postsecondary institutions in the Tennessee Board of
Regents or University of Tennessee systems respectfully, that offer (TAC/ABET
accredited) Non-Destructive Testing Technology related training or educational
programs. There are only six postsecondary education providers, nationally, who offer a
two-year degree in Non-Destructive Testing.

NEED:
Previous meetings have been held with Non-Destructive Testing Technology managers
and leaders from the Tennessee Valley Authority, Westinghouse Electric Company,
Alstom, InTech, Ivy Cooper, Sulzer Pump, and other electrical/nuclear power-related
organizations and manufacturers to address their need to initiate an education plan in
order to ensure an adequate pool of candidates are available to fill positions created by
the expansion of the Bellefonte and Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plants in addition to the
increased manufacturing presence Chattanooga is experiencing.
IMPACT:
Currently, there are no two-year community colleges or technical colleges who offer
Non-Destructive Testing Technology educational degrees or training within the tri-state
area of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. However, the nuclear power industry has in
recent years realized a growing demand for services, and TVA, as well as other southern
nuclear power producers, manufacturers, and suppliers are expanding their capabilities to
meet this increased demand. Chattanooga State has an opportunity to serve both the local
nuclear power and manufacturing industries respectively, but also to be a leader in the
education and training of this unique skill set in the southeastern United States.

Notes:
1. In what year is tuition and fee revenue expected to be generated and explain any differential fees. Tuition and fees
include maintenance fees, out-of-state tuition, and any applicable earmarked fees for the program.
Tuition and fee revenue will be generated each year. The projection from year 1 to year 3 assumes an annual
increase in tuition and revenue fees of 8% annually.
2. Please identify the source(s) of the institutional reallocations, and grant matching requirements if applicable.
There are two full time faculty currently employed who are primarily responsible for the operation of the
existing institutional certificates in Emergency Medical Medicine and Paramedic. As they are existing faculty,
they thus do not represent a new cost which would be incurred in the event that this technical certificate is
approved. Thus as shown on this sheet the institutional reallocation is the suplus amount that is generated
in tuition and fees over and above the adjunct faculty cost shown here and operating expenditures.

(Although all of the following requirements may not be applicable all proposals. Carefully consider the
elements in each area and respond as completely as possible in the format below. Quantification of
performance goals should be included whenever possible.)
Accreditation
● Institutional plans for program accreditation, if applicable, including accrediting
agency and timeline. If there are no plans to seek specialized accreditation, please
provide reasons.
● State whether this proposal has implications for SACS. If so, explain what
actions will be taken.
The current institutional certificate was in place at the time of the last SACS
review, we therefore do not anticipate any SACS implications.
Evaluation Plans
● List the assessment standards that are most appropriate for measuring the
effectiveness and success of the proposed program as related to the stated goals
and objectives.
● Identify the institutional office responsible for conducting the evaluation and
explain how evaluations will be conducted, i.e., alumni surveys, employer
surveys, external review, pass rates on certification/licensure exams, etc.
The nursing and allied health division office distributes student and employer
surveys. They are forwarded to the program director. Licensure rates are tracked
by the program director.
Evidence of Demand and Need (Refer to THEC Policy A1.0 and A1.1)
● Educational Need
Tennessee regulations require EMS training to be conducted at a post secondary
institution. The fact that the current institutional certificate program is producing
approximately 50 graduates annually who are successful in obtaining employment
is evidence of continuing need.
● Student Interest/Demand
Interest has been solid over the life of the current program. Cuts in EMS
programs in several Border States have expanded our student population beyond
our normal area.
Healthcare for an ever increasing and aging population has remained at the
forefront of society. EMS as a profession is constantly maturing and new
opportunities for paramedics are developing rapidly.
● Faculty
Current faculty easily supports the program. There are currently two full time
faculty members in emergency medicine whose primary responsibility is to teach
in the Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic institutional certificate
programs. Thus approval of this proposal to convert to a technical certificate will
not require the addition of any full time faculty. The faculty expenses shown are
for adjunct instructors only who are needed to facilitate instruction.
● Administrative
This program will be administered by the Division of Nursing and Allied Health.
The program director will also serve as a full time faculty member.
No additional clerical and support personnel other than those already provided
within the Division of Nursing and Allied Health will be required for this
program.
● Library

FORM - SUM (Summary) (No more than 2 pages + attachments)
PURPOSE (Goals and Objectives): While Continuing to teach the most current US DOT
curriculum and standards in emergency medical services it is our intent to convert our
existing institutional certificate in EMT-P to a technical certificate. The profession of
EMS continues to grow and mature and a technical certificate will allow easier and more
complete transfer of hours/training to a degree or other allied health programs.
NEED: The continual growth and maturation of EMS as a profession places a continual
need for trained, competent paramedics to meet the needs, expectations, and demands of
the public. While the need for health care professionals in general is well documented
the need for licensed paramedics is near the top of the allied health professionals list.
IMPACT: This program will meet the need of supplying trained, competent paramedics
to the region.
PLANS FOR ACCREDITATION: (Professional accreditation and SACS notification if
(If Applicable) required.)
Concentration: ______________________________________________________________________________
Action Requested:
Rationale:
• To provide an opportunity for dental assisting students who have earned a certificate
to continue their education to achieve a degree
• To provide an opportunity for those undecided degree students who have
accumulated general education and elective credit hours and have subsequently
changed their major to dental assisting, to apply those general education hours toward
a degree.
• To make our graduates more competitive with the graduates of other programs.
• To create more qualified employees for the Dental Community.
• To enable students to participate in the Baccalaureate degree completion programs
offered by local 4-year colleges to students who have completed 60 hours of study.
• To increase and diversify opportunities for employment outside of the dental office,
i.e., dental manufacturers and sales representatives, dental insurance claims
supervisors, trainers for new products and materials, educational facilities.

Evidence of Demand and Need (Refer to THEC Policy A1.0 and A1.1)
● Educational Need:
The president of the local Third District Dental Society has advised the dean of
nursing and allied health that it would be advantageous for dental assistants to
have an associates degree.
● Student Interest/Demand:
Students show high interest in attaining a degree. Two thirds of the currently
enrolled class will choose to pursue the AAS degree when it becomes an option.
Having a degree will allow students to be more competitive in the work force.
The degree program will provide the dentists/employers with a high quality
employee and will provide the graduate with more opportunities for employment
Estimate the unduplicated headcount and full-time equated enrollment and the number of
graduates for a complete program cycle.
Explain the basic assumptions used in estimating the size of the proposed program.
Assumptions should be related to the evidence of need and to other supportive data.
The purpose of this proposal is merely to allow individuals who are currently enrolled in
the technical dental assisting certificate program, or who have already completed this
program, to attain an associates degree. This would be accomplished by simply the
addition of a required general education component. Therefore, no new courses, nor
additional faculty, nor additional sections of courses are required. It is anticipated that the
additional needs of these students could be met with existing college resources.
