Developed by a technical education specialist, this curriculum guide is designed to assist school administrators, supervisors, and teachers in planning and developing new programs or evaluating existing ones in scientific data processing technology, primarily on the post-high school level. Contents include: (1) a suggested curriculum plan, (2) course outlines with examples of texts and references, (3) suggested sequence of technical education procedures, (4) laboratory layouts with equipment and costs, (5) a discussion of remote computation and time sharing, library and its use, faculty, and student services, and (6) a listing of selected scientific, trade, and technical societies concerned with the technology. The 2-year program may be modified to meet local, state, and regional needs. (AW)
