Centers of Excellence:
Plagued by process challanges, assembly sequencing, or project issues that aren't
severe enough to halt production but you know that when solved will result in a
better product or smoother operation? Feel free to contact the department that matches
your area of need or use the "Contact Us" links to schedule and appointment.
Contract Courses and Onsite Training:
Many courses routinely taught as part of the associate and bachelor degree programs
of the college as well as the specialty areas within the certificate programs can
be done at your offices or a convenient local facility. The college schedules fully
qualified faculty and staff for these assignments upon request. Please call the
office of Associate Dean Allen Arthur (513) 556-6580
to discuss your needs or use the link to your left or the "Contact Us" link above
and mark your email to his attention.
Open Learning Fire Science:
These courses and degree programs are specifically designed for the professional
fire fighter and are available through distance learning courses. For more about

Professional Certificates:
Skills training, job specific instruction, and professional certifications are provided
in many areas. The link to your left lists
courses and certificates currently available. While all are scheduled for
the Victory Parkway Campus, many can be as effectively conducted at your facility
and should be regarded as one part of a program tailored for your operations. Your
employees can enroll directly for these or use the "Contact Us" link to email or
call us about your needs.
The college often partners with industry experts and other agencies to deliver the
best in these areas. An example is the joint Applied Science-OTI program in OSHA Safety Regulations
that yields both a Applied Science Certificate and OSHA certification. For more

Senior Projects and Directed Resolutions:
The college requires students to complete a capstone project to demonstrate their
capabilities and to serve as a summary to their knowledge as a requirement to graduate.
These projects are oriented toward product and process improvements (or problems)
found in current products and practices. Resulting project solutions are displayed
each May at the college's Tech Expo at the Convention Center. For more about Tech
Expo and our innovative solutions

The college welcomes your input and participation in these and also maintains an
ability to address your more urgent needs through its faculty and staff. Feel free
to contact Associate Dean Allen Arthur at (513) 556-6580
or use the "Contact Us" link above to set an appointment or to discuss your needs
in more detail.
Workforce Development Training:
Much of what has been outlined above can be classed as Workforce Development (WFD)
training. However, the college offers much more. As one of your WFD partners, we
are prepared to work with you in (1) assessing your training needs, (2) designing
a program for your operation, (3-a) identifying courses and certification programs
for your professional staff (e.g. engineers, senior technicians, designers, and
other often college educated employees) who are too often neglected in these efforts,
(3-b) identifying possible funding sources, (4) conducting the program, and (5)
assisting you in evaluating the effectiveness of the training.
Workshops and Short Courses:
Concentrated areas of study are offered in a number of areas and are generally directed
toward professionals and their need to (1) remain technologically current and (2)
deepening knowledge in supplemental and allied areas. These short courses are typically
concentrated into a week or two 3 day sessions and include hands-on laboratory time
within the instruction. Examples are the
PLC short course set for June and the
rotating machinery short course offered again this December. For more
about these exciting options click on either course name..

joint programs on your behalf with:
As your partners in building the Tri-State workforce through education and practical
solutions, Applied Science puts its expertise at your service.
