The Leander Independent School District in Austin, Texas, undertook a project to (1) research the training needs for high-technology occupations in the Greater Austin area, (2) develop a statewide model of an articulated 2 + 2 program to prepare students for careers as technicians, and (3) implement the articulated 2 + 2 program with Austin Community College. (The term 2 + 2 means coordination of the last two years of high school with two years of postsecondary course work.) Both a mailed survey and a series of in-depth interviews were conducted with representatives from advanced technology industries in the Austin area. After a review of the results, work to develop a curriculum to train instrumentation and control technicians was begun. A list of job competencies was developed from the data obtained during the survey and interviews and subsequently sent to eight Austin-area industry representatives for evaluation, whose directives were compiled to form the basis of the curriculum design. The curriculum delivery system was then analyzed in the light of current course offerings in the Leander Independent School District and Austin Community College. Decisions were also reached as to the way in which the curriculum would fit into the overall plan generally followed by high school students, and on the mechanics of developing the mechanics of developing an articulated 2 + 2 agreement between the two schools. Draft and final versions of the agreement were ultimately developed. Appendixes make up the greater part of the document. They include the survey questionnaire and cover letter, interview guide, competency evaluation form, a table showing correlation of competencies to course content, a guide for developing a 2 + 2 curriculum, instrumentation and control curriculum course outlines, a chart showing alternative entry points for the curriculum, guidelines for developing lecture and laboratory facilities, and reference materials used for the curriculum.
