Case studies were made of the technology-oriented electronics-related degree programs at four community colleges. The programs examined are located at the following institutions: Charles County Community College, Northern Virginia Community College, Prince Georges Community College, and the University of the District of Columbia. The four programs were found to be highly successful in meeting local community education and job training needs. One major need, however, was that of mechanisms to support information sharing on a regular basis among vocational-technical educators at community colleges. Although program administrators and instuctors attend periodic meetings with their colleagues, these settings do not provide for consistent updating of specific program activities or instructional techniques. A widely circulated newsletter featuring successful program components could be helpful in this context. Enrolling increased numbers of students in technology-oriented programs is another area in need of improvement. Despite existing outreach and articulation activities with secondary schools, other colleges, universities, and local businesses at each of the four schools, the students interviewed indicated that their enrollment decisions were influenced most by friends and family. Special efforts to recruit and retain minority youth are particularly needed.
