This document contains two reports on students in electronics courses at Kalamazoo Valley Community College; the first provides student characteristics data as well as students' perceptions of the courses, and the second presents secondary data gathered from various internal college sources. In the first study, 96 students (46.4% of those contacted) enrolled during spring 1977, fall 1977, and spring 1978 returned questionnaires eliciting information on sex (90 male, 6 female); age (34 aged 18-21, 38 aged 22-30, 20 aged 31-40, and 4 over 40); employment (over 80% employed); need for prerequisite courses (65 indicated math, 29 reading, 32 writing). Students enrolled in spring and fall 1977 differed from students enrolled in spring 1978 in terms of educational goals; a higher proportion of 1978 students sought a degree in electronics (76% versus 31%). The most frequently stated reason for withdrawals, low grades and for not meeting goals was excessive workload. The second study collected information on enrollment history, grade summary, seat utilization rate, and drop/add transactions. Comparisons between electronics and other programs for which similar data were available indicated that enrollment per section in electronics averaged 6.9 students below the academic mean, passing grades were 28% lower, seat utilization was 14% lower, and drop/add transactions exceeded those for other disciplines.
