Strange, including a 600 square foot expansion. Three new rooms were created which provide a Fabrication Room, an Room and a large Storage Room for the department. The Fabrication Room now has equipment that enables the staff to teach the widely used industrial process of designing and producing printed circuit boards. This includes a photographic process of transferring tiie circuit board pattern to the copper clad board after which it is etched in a new bench top etcher unit which completes the etching process in five minutes or less. Both large and small drill presses are available for drilling the necessary holes so that the electronic components can be mounted to the finished board. Room The new Audio-Visuhas four work tables which contain complete sets of filmstrips and video tapes which reinforce the information contained in the textbooks. Each work station can accommodate up to three students, who may study together or independently, and also has a computer which is used for Computer-AideInstruction. A color TV is also located at each work station for the viewing of video tapes or programs. This is all part of the new individualized instruction program where each student proceeds at his own pace and must achieve at least 70 Vo on each test before going to the next lesson. This insures that the student has a firm foundation on which future lessons can be built.
