Agency: Utah College of Applied Technology Function In the Special Legislative Session on June 20, 2001, the Legislature passed House Bill 1003, 'Applied Technology Governance,' establishing the Utah College of Applied Technology (UCAT). On September 1, 2001, UCAT became Utah's tenth institution of higher education. UCAT is comprised of eight campuses located throughout the state. In the 2003 General Session, House Bill 232, 'Utah College of Applied Technology Amendments,' modified UCAT's original legislation by making technical changes in terminology and governance provisions. In creating UCAT, the Legislature moved five Applied Technology Centers and three Applied Technology Center Service Regions (ATCSR) from the governance of the State Board of Education to the Utah System of Higher Education. The former Wasatch Front Applied Technology Center underwent a name change to the Salt Lake-Tooele Applied Technology Campus. The Southwest ATCSR was divided into two campuses, the Southwest and Dixie Applied Technology Campuses. All assets associated with each Applied Technology Center and Applied Technology Center Service Region were transferred to the respective campuses with the Southwest's funding being allocated between the Southwest and Dixie Applied Technology Campuses. Under the original legislation there were ten campuses. The Central Applied Technology Campus was located in Richfield in the same facility as Snow College South. However, during the 2003 General Session, House Bill 161, 'Snow College Richfield Campus,' consolidated Snow College South and the Central Applied Technology College into the Snow College Richfield Campus. In the 2007 General Session, House Bill 371, 'Applied Technology Education Amendments' merged the Southeast ATC into the College of Eastern Utah. The mission of UCAT is to provide applied technology education (ATE) for both post-secondary and secondary students to meet the social and economic needs of the state efficiently and effectively, through collaborative partnerships between the educational systems, and business and industry. UCAT is to offer quality educational programs and innovative delivery systems to ensure a skilled and educated workforce. UCAT campuses offer open-entry/open-exit, high quality, competency based training for secondary and post-secondary students. Graduates may earn certificates of skill competence, certificates of proficiency, certificates of completion, and associate of applied technology degrees. In FY 2008, UCAT provided over 5.4 million membership hours of training.
