It is a cooperative project between the Division of Homemaking Education, Texas Education Agency and the School of Home Economics, Home Economics Education Department, Texas Tech University at Lubbock, Texas. The purpose of the Center is to develop a variety of instructional materials for use in vocational home economics programs. An initial Planning Grant Project was approved by the Texas Education Agency for February 1 through August 31, 1967. The major purposes of the Planning Grant Project were (1) to assemble and catalog an occupational reference library, (2) to develop procedural steps for preparation of instructional materials, and (3) to illustrate the first sequence of these steps, that is, to develop job analyses and to list competencies needed for employability of students. This project provided a background of information for the establishment of the Home Economics Instructional Materials Center. The present major objectives of the Home Economics Instructional Materials Center are (1) to develop a variety of instructional materials designed for use by students enrolled in home economics cooperative education programs and in pre-employment laboratory education programs in preparation for employment in occupations requiring home economics knowledge and skills and (2) to develop such other instructional materials as are needed to meet the changing emphases in other home economics programs.
