A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Associate Degree Program for Traffic Engineering Technicians (TET's) offered at three community colleges on students' subsequent job performance as technicians. Data were collected by means of personal interviews and telephone interviews with 81 students, their primary instructors, and their immediate job supervisors. Results indicated: (1) 29 students were employed as TET's while 20 students were employed in a highway-related field; (2) 7 students who had received the associate degree were working directly in highway-safety areas; (3) supervisors indicated a generally restricted job market for TET's; (4) students experienced no significant salary increases as a direct results of the program; (5) the majority of the students felt the program improved their job ability; (6) the majority of the students were satisfied overall with the program; (7) students trained in the program required less on-the-job training than those not in the program; (8) supervisors identified communications skills as a high-priority supportive course; (9) the majority of the participants felt that a bachelor's degree was necessary to advance or to get a better job.
