The Connected Degree 2+2 Curriculum
Delaware Tech's associate degree program in Chemical Process Operator prepares students for employment in industrial plants in the chemical, petroleum, polymer and pharmaceutical industry. The chemical industry throughout the state has a great need for trained chemical operators to adjust and optimize conditions for the production of large quantities of products in local chemical plants and pilot plants. Graduates are readily employed by these local plants at competitive salaries. The program provides a practical education in the various aspects of plant operations such as hands-on training in process operations and control, regulatory compliance, and preventive maintenance skills. Laboratory facilities include not only standard lab equipment, but also modern instrumentation in pilot plant technology and computer simulations. Wilmington University's Bachelor of Science degree program in Organizational Dynamics prepares graduates to enter the job market or advance in their current employment with the theoretical, practical, and professional knowledge needed for leading and operating in the modern workplace. Building upon each student's unique experiences and knowledge, the Organizational Dynamics program provides students with the knowledge-base needed to understand and address complex organizational issues. Students' theoretical and practical knowledge of the behavioral nature of organizations is enhanced by understanding both the "hard" analytical sciences and the "soft" emotional processes necessary for understanding not-for-profit, governmental, and corporate environments. Programmatic focus is on current organizational challenges with regard to such issues as globalization, changing demographics, social responsibility, and ethics. The Organizational Dynamics program offers a curriculum designed to provide students with the most current knowledge of leadership, motivation, interpersonal relations, team facilitation, conflict resolution, and related skills that impact the dynamics of the organizational structure as it relates to performance and productivity.
