Program Requirements and Ethical Expectations The EATM program prepares the student for employment in the animal industry, which often involves working with dangerous animals. During this course of study, the student will work with dangerous animals at the college’s teaching zoo, as well as other animal facilities. Therefore, students enrolled in the EATM program are expected to strictly adhere to the rules and regulations of the program in order to ensure the safety of the students, animals, staff, and public. Furthermore, all students are expected to maintain the highest personal and ethical standards of conduct consistent with professional standards as perceived by the program faculty and professional personnel at the facilities where students perform internships. Any information indicating that such standards are not maintained is subject to review by members of the faculty, which may recommend student dismissal to the college administration. For successful completion of the EATM program, a minimum grade of C is necessary in all courses required for the major. Because much of the EATM program is sequential in nature, a minimum grade of C in each required course must be obtained before continuing to the next semester. Performance Standards In compliance with the 1990 American with Disabilities Act, the EATM Program does not discriminate against qualified applicants with disabilities. These performance standards, reflected in specific EATM course/program objectives, are to assist each applicant in determining eligibility and the need for accommodations or modifications. The EATM Faculty in conjunction with the Moorpark College Health Services and community animal facilities will determine, on an individual basis, whether the necessary accommodations or modifications can reasonably be made. Critical Thinking -ability sufficient for safe judgment: calculating, reasoning, analyzing, prioritizing, and synthesizing data. Examples: identify cause/effect relationships in animal behavior and safety decisions. Interpersonal -the ability sufficient to interact with individuals, families, and groups with diverse social, emotional, cultural, and intellectual backgrounds; function effectively under stress. Examples: Establish rapport with the public, effectively interacting and working as a member of a team. Communication - abilities sufficient for effective verbal and written interactions. Examples: Explain animal behavior, teaching wildlife conservation, and document and interpret animal actions and animal responses. Mobility - sufficient to rapidly walk the entire length of America’s Teaching Zoo without interruption, run distances of 50 yards, maneuver in small confined spaces while reaching overhead objects. Examples: running to capture an escaped animal, shifting animal cages in overhead storage areas. Motor Skills -gross and fine motor abilities sufficient to provide safe and effective animal care. Examples: dexterity ranges from restraining a small bird or lizard to being able to stack bales of hay, lift 50lbs. Hearing -ability sufficient to monitor and assess animal behavior and health needs and to heed emergency signals. Example: animal behavioral changes are frequently accompanied by vocalization, must be able to recognize these changes, hear cries for help. Visual -ability sufficient for observation and visual assessment in well-lit and dimly-lit areas. Examples: observe animal responses and changes in condition, do a positive cage count of animals in varying conditions. Tactile - ability sufficient for safe and humane handling of various-size animals. Examples: appreciation for the strength necessary for controlling a camel versus that for handling a rat, able to palpate the pulse rate of an animal.

Career Possibilities: A wide variety of job opportunities in both private industry and government service are available to geology graduates. Graduates with Bachelor’s degrees will normally begin their work career at entry level positions. Examples of opportunities in private industry include engineering geology (evaluating sites for homes, commercial buildings, highways, etc.), environmental geology (environmental impact studies, evaluation and remediation of contaminated sites), hydrogeology (development and quality control of ground water resources), and the discovery and extraction of earth resources such as oil, gas, coal, and metallic and non-metallic resources. Agencies in all levels of government – city, county, state, and federal – employ geologists for regulatory and oversight (inspection and monitoring) activities. Additionally, a degree in geology is excellent background for preparing to teach physical science and earth science at the secondary school level. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 153 Geology Geology Degree in Geology To earn an Associate in Science Degree with a major in Geology, students complete 48 specified units, plus General Education Degree Requirements. These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Geology offered by four-year institutions. Since the course work in geology is sequential, students may spend less time earning an Associate and/or Bachelor’s degree by deferring some of the university general education requirements until their junior and senior years and by giving priority to the requirements for a major in geology. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment.
