A Guide for Planning Facilities for Occupational Preparation Programs in Data Processing. Interim Report. Research 25.

This guide lists a series of pivotal questions about the educational program to be offered, and the answers to these questions bear directly on the numbers and kinds of instructional areas needed in the contemplated facilities. Much of the material is presented in a checklist format which allows for consideration of alternatives in facility planning. The guide was designed for use by persons responsible for planning facilities, and for instructional purposes at universities, colleges, seminars, and institutes. This guide is the third in a series being developed by The Center for Vocational and Technical Education. The first and second guides were in the fields of home economics (VT 006 618) and machine trades (VT 007 370). Subsequent guides will be published for animal science technology, automotive trades, business and office occupations, dental technology, electrical technology, machine trades, medical technology, and metallurgy.
