Abstract	A model program was developed to increase the number of noncollege-bound students who were capable of succeeding in electronics and laser/electro-optics technology (LET) vocational training. The target population was noncollege-bound disadvantaged students, at least 60 percent minorities and women who were historically underrepresented in technology careers. The Moorpark College/Ventura County Community College District/Business Labor Council Project worked with 8 area high schools to identify students willing to attempt the curriculum designed to fill 2 daily high school periods and a full afternoon at the college laboratory site per week; 98 students completed at least 1 college semester in the program successfully. The curriculum was an integrated mix of electronics, laser-optics, and mathematics. Local businesses donated equipment and illustrative field trips. Findings indicated that 71 percent of students pursued college; 88 percent improved their overall grade average in all high school classes. (The 6-page report is followed by curriculum materials developed by the program, including a course outline for the 35-week course that details specific topics taught at high schools, lecture demonstrations, and laboratory activities at the college with estimated hours, text, and chapter/pages and curriculum objectives. Thirty-five quizzes are also provided.) (YLB)
