The study was limited to industrial arts and trade-technical education in the state's secondary schools excluding area vocational schools and technical occupational centers. "Present Program" persents data on industrial arts enrollment, courses offered, teacher characteristics, student characteristics, and instructional practices. "Current Innovations and Related Programs and Studies" reviews several curriculum development projects in the United States. "Relationship of Industrial Arts to Vocational Trade-Technical Education" contrasts teachers and their assignments, financing, course relationships, enrollments, course content, instructional practices, and outlines the unique characteristics of both programs. "Industrial Education in California Institutions of Higher Education" discusses educational programs, certification requirements, enrollment, and the primary functions of each field.
