Cowgill, Dean Because of the rapid advancement in science, high speed production and automation, there is a critical shortage of skilled and technically trained manpower in business and industry. The School seeks to assist young men and women in society. To accomplish this, the School has committed itself to career-ladder, open-ended, individualized instruction and is working steadily to develop systems for such instruction. The career-ladder approach to instruction recognizes that occupations in the technical fields require different levels of skill and knowledge even in closely related jobs. Our intent is to provide training and education aimed at identified present and potential careers whether those job requirements include associate or baccalaureate degree requirements or not. We also welcome those who are presently employed who wish to upgrade and maintain job skills in our programs whether they are specifically aiming toward another level on the career-ladder or not. The open-ended aspect of our instruction means that normal college entry requirements are not strictly adhered to; aptitude and desire are limiting requirements. Open-ended also means that students are encouraged to leave when their career objectives have been attained and to return with appropriate credit for experience when their career objectives have changed. Students' programs are individually prescribed to meet career objectives as efficiently as possible. Some courses are also self-paced. The example programs described in this section of the catalog are examples of efficient methods of meeting degree requirements for individuals without prior experience in the field. Actual individual schedules need to be established in departmental counseling to take advantage of prior schooling and experience. The School is organized into the following departments: Automotive Engineering Technology Distributive Education Electronic Engineering Technology Manufacturing Engineering Technology Aviation Utah Skills Center North In addition, a Pre-Engineering Program is operated within the School of Technology with its offerings presently coordinated from the Electronic Engineering Technology Department. Each of the departments issues Certificates of Skill Proficiency for agreed upon levels of achievement. They also issue Certificates of Completion and Associate of Applied Science Degrees in appropriate programs as indicated in the individual department descriptions which follow. Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees may be earned by students completing indicated baccalaureate programs in: Automotive Engineering Technology Electronics Engineering Technology Manufacturing Engineering Technology Management-Logistics 239
