This section also identifies the fields open to a person trained in automation/robotics and the competencies to be possessed by program graduates. Section II underscores the need for the program, providing a job market analysis; salary information; a discussion of short- and long-term, national and local employment outlooks; and a list of potential employers in the Delaware Valley. Section III begins with a list of the members of the program advisory committee, and then provides a discussion of the development and content of the curriculum, identifies the target population, and notes the approval of course competencies. Section IV provides information on program implementation, covering equipment needed to initiate the program, curriculum development costs, operating costs, and enrollment. Appendices provide descriptions of five courses in the program: Numerical Control I and II, Robotics I and II, and Electro/Mechanical Systems. Competencies are listed for each course. (HB)
