A RESEARCH PROJECT TO DEVELOP AND EVALUATE A TECHNICAL EDUCATION COMPONENT ON MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY FOR ORIENTATION TO SPACE-AGE TECHNOLOGY

摘要

This developmental applied research project embraces several areas of concern including the need for engineering technicians and technologists with awareness of engineering materials;an improvement in career education that reflects the career opportunities available in engineering technology, especially for minorities and females;and a system of instruction that increases the probability of success for non-traditional students in basic materials science.
