This collection includes resources from the Building Automation Systems (BAS) program at Georgia Pedmont Technical College (GPTC). These resources include a 33-page guide and six program development documents from the B.E.S.T. Center 2013 Winter Workshop. This program prepares students for a career in BAS industry. After completing the program, students should be "... capable of marketing, installing, designing, servicing, and troubleshooting complex controls systems."

The program guide includes a table of contents, a catalog description, the program design rationale and key elements, learning outcomes, and three appendices. The appendices include Curriculum for Degree Option, Curriculum for Diploma Option, and Required Textbooks.

The workshop resources include four presentations and two related documents. The presentations include GPTC BAS Program Structure, GPTC BAS Program Core Competencies, GPT BAS Program Development Case Study, and Sample Project Assignments and Exercises. The presentations provide additional information about the BAS program, including its development, degree options, core courses, program structure, college-level competencies, program-specific core competencies, course-level competencies, sample projects for each course, and more.

The other related documents include Materials of GPTC BUAS Program and GPTC BAS Program Structure. These resources include a list of textbooks and tools used for the courses.
