Data were collected concerning (1) relative agreement between school and industrial representatives as to the amount of teaching emphasis which should be given various instructional units, (2) differences in teaching emphasis indicated necessary by representatives from different industries, (3) employers' and school representatives' estimates of the future importance of each unit, (4) adequacy of physical facilities at the various colleges, including plans for expansion, (5) inventories of laboratory and test equipment and hand and shop tools (both available and needed) at the various schools, (5) recently completed and pending course additions or changes in curricular emphasis at the various schools, (7) teachers' comments concerning industrial experience, (8) present numbers of technicians employed and projections of future needs, and (9) employers' assessments of certain general abilities of junior-college-trained electronic technicians. A series of 35 nun color slides representative of present school facilities was assembled. ... |
