One of the studieswas of the Texas Juniot College drafting and design curricula, anotherwas of the buildings and equipment, and the third usedan industrial survey to determine criteria for a program guide. The assumptionsfor formulating the suggested curriculum were- that:(1) the course of study should be for students wishing to pursue a particular vocation,(2) the occupational needs of studentsare generated by employers, (3) the classification of occupations impliescommon knowledge and skill, (4) some occupations require unique knowledges and skills, (5) duplication of subject matter should be minimized,and (6) adequate equipment and facilities arenecessary. The surveys of junior Ileges were confined to those colleges withassociate degree -ams, and the industrial concerns were stratified accordingto P Is of specialization, volume of employment, and regional locat me planning guide section of this document includes;(1) enrollmeil, estimation,(2) suggested course of study,course outlines, and descriptions,(3) personal requirements, and (4) facilities and equipment. The data collection and analysisand the appendixes are available as VT 014 406 and VT 014 408 respectively. (GEB) A ,'S 14:' ; '41.4,,.

Preface This document represents the consolidationof three separate, but closely related studies, each ofwhich led to a doctor's dissertation. These studies and theirauthors were: A Study of Texas Junior College Drafting _gag Des i9n Technology Curricula for Develo Guide, Michael P. Guerard, Texas A&M University. An Industrial Survey to Determine Criteria for a Program Guide for Drafting and Design Technology in Texas Junior Colleges. Harry W. Walston, Texas A M University. A Study of Buildings and Eauipment in Texas Linior Ccilese Drafting TechnologyPrograms With Gary H. aVine,..ir, Texas A&M University The above studies were made undercontract with the Texas Education Agency office of Post-SecondaryVocational Program Development, and this -lanning guide is theresult of the collabora- tion of the three authors. Many indivipalshave contributed Lit valuable information and guidance without which this document would not have been possible. Special thanks are extended to all the drafting teachers, professional draftsmen and supervisors who provided the data and recommendations upon which this planning guide is based. Appreciation is also expressed to state education agencies, many of whom provided samples of curriculum and planning guides for examination.The compilation and writing of this Tilde have been immeasurably aided by the guidance and suggestions of the Project Director, Dr. James H. Earle, Head, Department of Engineering Design Graphics, Texas A&M University. Valuable research assistance was provided by Mrs. Janet Davis, and the most difficult and exacting task of typ'ng the rinal manuscript was perf_imed admirably by Mrs. Ruth Hanson. It is the authors' sincere wish that this guide willserve the needs of educators and curriculum planners in present and future programs in Drafting and Design Technology in Texas junior colleges.
