seven-member Board of Trustees was elected thefollowing year. In 1984, the number of trusteesincreased to nine (9).

The first operating budget was based on a$1,000,000 grant from the State of Michigan, aswell as, a $300,000 stipend fromNewDetroit, Inc.and anticipated student tuition payments at thattime. The new institution had no buildings orfacilities of its own, but with the cooperation oflocal school boards, faith-based organizationsand non-profits, classroomswere made availablethroughout the County of Wayne.

In the summer of 1969, the Board of Trusteesdirected staff to plan and begin operations for thefirst fall semester. Instructors were hired,curricula designed and the “District withoutWalls” opened its doors with an overwhelmingresponse by community members.

Presently, the District’s five state-of-the-artcampuses and University Center are located inindustrial, suburban and metropolitan areaswhere a major share of Michigan’s technical andskilled occupations are located. Because of thediversity of its service areas, WCCCD places astrong emphasis on occupational and careerprograms and traditional college and universitytransfer programs.

Credit for Experiential LearningIf you wish to receive credit for learning youhave achieved through experience but do notwish to use the CLEP or Credit by Examinationprograms, you may take advantage of ourexperiential learning program. To do this, youprepare a portfolio which includes the followinginformation:1. Courses for which youwant to receive credit2. Learning goals that you have achieved3. Documentation of the achievement of thelearning goals

This portfolio is then reviewed by faculty todetermine if credit may be awarded. Severalthings about experiential learning are importantto understand as students consider using thisopportunity to earn credit. First, credit is grantedfor learning achieved from experience, not for theexperience itself. In developing the portfolio,students will need to demonstrate that theirexperiences have helped them gain boththeoretical and practical knowledge at the samelevel as they would have achieved by taking thecourse. Second, the process of developing asuccessful portfolio is as time consuming astaking a course. Therefore, we recommend thatstudents consider this option only if they wish toreceive credit for a group of courses. Credit for asingle course is earned more efficiently throughcredit by examination or the CLEP program.

The fee for this service is an amount equal to halfthe normal tuition for the courses in addition toa fee* for processing. The Campus ChiefAcademic Officer can provide students with thedirections and the forms necessary to receivecredit for experiential learning.

WATERAND ENVIRONMENTALTECHNOLOGY• College Certificate

About the ProgramThe Water Environment Technology Program(WET) College Certificate Program offers theintellectual exposure and on-the-job experience,required to operate and manage a wide range ofwater-treatment technologies. The programrecognizes that the efficient application of water-treatment technologies is essential for thesurvival of earth’s population and ecosystems,and that the technologist is largely responsiblefor the day-to-day compliance with treatmentrequirements. WET students study water andwastewater treatment processes, and areintroduced to topics that include waterchemistry, microbiology, toxicity and pollutionprevention. Coursework and hands-onexperience in utility equipment maintenancecompletes the technical program.

Completion of the program will help preparegraduates to write the entry level water andwastewater certification examinationsadministered by the Michigan Department ofEnvironmental Quality.

Certificate Goals• To prepare students with an understandingof methods related to the production ofclean water and pollution control.

Certificate Outcomes• Students will be able to demonstrate anapplied understanding of the basicprinciples of pollution assessment,management and control related to waterquality.

• Demonstrate knowledge of the main typesand categories of pollution treatmentprocesses and treatment systems.

• Demonstrate critical thinking skills whenapplying knowledge of common water andwastewater production facilities related topollution control.

• To prepare students for individualcredentialing by the Michigan Departmentof Environmental Quality (MDEQ)wastewater certification examinations witha 70% or better proficiency rate.

• Understand and articulate knowledge ofoccupational health and safety standardsand requirements related to environmentallaws, statutes and regulations that governwater quality.
