Representatives from Florida's large electronics manufacturing companies who serve on local post-secondary electronics program advisory committees were interviewed using a telephone interview technique regarding their perceptions of the technical skills of electronics teachers in programs which their committees advise. The respondents were also asked whether teacher updating had been given consideration by their committees. / The responses of community college advisory committee members were compared and contrasted with the responses of area vocational-technical center advisory committee members. Members from both types of committees reported that technical skills updating was an appropriate area of involvement for their respective committees. Respondents from area vocational-technical center advisory committees not only perceived a need for updating the technical skills of the electronics teachers which they advise but also had given the matter more consideration and were more involved in implementing such upgrading activities than were community college advisory committees. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-11, Section: A, page: 3369. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
