The department administers large number of programs, and classes are dispersed throughout the<br />

campus. In addition, space has been utilized at the Pinebrooke Facility located to the south of<br />

campus on Columbus Drive. This facility is where the Florida Advanced Technology Education (FL-<br />

ATE) program is housed. In addition to the Pinebrooke Facility classes, the department offers a<br />

corporate program. The Corporate Program gives HCC Professors the opportunity to teach classes<br />

at local corporations. Class times are scheduled around employee lunch breaks and other<br />

convenient times before and after work.<br />

Within the Associate in Science Department, the majority of the programs have not experienced<br />

any major changes in growth trends. During a campus administration work session, the expansion<br />

of the Computer Science Program and the Business/Accounting Program was identified as a goal<br />

over the next few years. In addition, according to the administration, a few A.S. programs are<br />

being re-aligned to accommodate the growth fluctuations. Both the Aquaculture and the<br />

Manufacturing Technology Programs are being re-designed to better meet workforce development<br />

needs. Furthermore, to remain competitive and responsive to workforce needs, the department<br />

monitors expansion possibilities on a regular basis.<br />
