Report - Non-Credit Certificate for the
Object Technology Program
FOR INFORMATION
Please find attached an updated copy of our Report on the Non-Credit Certificate for the Object
Technology Program. This Report is in compliance with the April 12, 1999 Senate motion that a
report on the academic and financial aspects of the program be provided to Senate in three years.
The report has been reviewed by the Senate Committee on Continuing Studies at a meeting of
November 4, 2003 at which time the Committee approved the forwarding of the updated report
to Senate for informational purposes.
If additional information is required, I would be pleased to submit it.

Report to:

Senate Committee on Continuing Studies

Amanda Woodham, Program Director

and
Judy Denham, Program Director

Subject: ?
Object Technology Program - status update
Date: ?
October 22, 2003
The Object Technology Program began in the Fall of 1998 and on April
12th,
1999 was approved
by the Senate Committee on Academic Planning as a Non-Credit Certificate Program. The
motion included a report be made back to the committee on academic and financial aspects,
which now follows.
The Program has just completed its 9" intake's formal training and is into its internship
placement. The Program is also recruiting candidates for its
10th
intake. Statistical information is
available for 9 cohorts and is attached.
The general format and intent of the Program has not changed in the past five years. The course
content has, however, evolved to meet changes in technology, and these changes have been made
in consultation with both our industry advisors and instructors.
Internship placement has fluctuated, however the last cohort placed (cohort #8) reached a 91%
placement, up from the previous cohort of 81%. The tuition fee was increased in 2001, and
remains at $19,500.
The most notable change, statistically, has been the declining registration, with OTP 8 running
with 13 participants and OTP 9 with 14 participants. 13 participants is now the break-even
financial point for this program. To meet the decline in registrations a few changes have been
implemented.
In cohort OTP 8, for the first time, available seating in the program was offered, on a module-by-
module basis, to internal SFU IT personnel. This change did two things: it increased revenue and
provided relevant technical training at a lower than industry pricing to SFU personnel. This
practice continued for OTP 9 and will also be available for OTP 10. Also, beginning with OTP
9, registration on a module-by-module basis is now being offered to alumni of the Applied
Sciences Programs technical short courses, and its Management Skills in Advanced Technology
Program.
Beginning with OTP 10, this program will be offered once annually, with anticipation that the
class will run at a higher registration level and be more cost effective, at the same time continuing
to offer this valuable technical training to individuals trying to seek employment in the Object
Technology area.
In summary, it is our intention to continue offering this non-credit Certificate Program in Object
Technology as part of our technical training schedule in Applied Sciences Programs.
