Skills Conversion Project: Chapter 15, Educational Technology. Final Report.
National Society of Professional Engineers, Washington, DC.
A study of the future use of technology in education was conducted by the National Society of Professional Engineers in order to determine the potential employment opportunities of ex-aerospace technical professional manpower in education. A qualitative review of manpower trends in the fields of teaching, school administration, career counseling, visual aids, and educational research was conducted for the U.S. Department of Labor. The areas of career guidance, vocational instruction, and school administration are most promising, because each area projects a steadily increasing demand for services which can be supplied by technical manpower. The field of career guidance for high school students and mid-career professionals has the greatest short-range potential for employment, and little resistance to the use of ex-aerospace manpower was noted. Some restrictions to the use of technical professionals may result from currently inflexible requirements for teaching credentials enforced on many non-teaching positions.
