Abstract | In 1992, the Council of Colleges in Quebec undertook an analysis of proposed revisions to the electrical/electronic technology programs offered by the province's public colleges. The planned revision affects a large number of programs and colleges and would have important repercussions outside of the domain of the physical sciences. Part 1 of the analysis identifies the major proposed changes: (1) the realignment and clustering of programs into industrial, service, and research and development areas; (2) the creation of a new research and development oriented program in electronic design, and the addition of several new options in existing programs; (3) the revision of the program elements common to all electronics majors; (4) reduction of admissions requirements; and (5) the application of a more synthesized and integrated perspective. This section concludes with a discussion of some of the problems inherent in such major program revisions. Part 2 analyses the proposed revision in terms of its socioeconomic implications and effects on students; the coherence of the proposed programs; program balance; access to programs in the diverse specialities given that all majors will not be available at all public colleges; the transfer implications of the new electronic design program; workplace safety concerns; and practical training. Finally, part 3 discusses issues related to piloting the new programs and preparing for the full implementation of the revision. A summary of the major recommendations of the Council of Colleges is provided. (AC) |
