Two sequential courses in scientific and technical French developed as a supplement to third- and fourth-year college French, in response to expressed student and industry demand, had as their objectives to develop a general familiarity with products of the large French industrial companies and their United States affiliates and to develop means for communication with these companies. The first semester focuses on agribusiness, the automobile industry, and modes of transport (rapid transit, subway, airplanes, and space travel), and the second semester includes the glass industry and glass applications (insulation, lenses, optical fibers), energy sources (coal, gasoline, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, and geothermal), and information sciences. All of the units are based on the same model: description of products, manufacturing processes, and in-depth study of two or more representative industry groups. (MSE)
