This program would develop a comprehensive engi. neering high technology program at Oregon s colleges 'Attracting new kinds of industries to our area increases the demand for people acquainted with marketing techniques for the new technologies.' The state Educational Coordin ating Commission meets today to begin an assessment of needs and current hi-tech courses The com mission will recommend ways to improve these programs with the next month A group of representatives from educational institutions and the high- technology industry then will develop an educational action plan, which must be approved by the state Emergency Board Any program additions are not going to be small." says Edith Maddron, a Eugene member of the Educational Coordinating Com mission She says major emphasis probably will be on research in science and math." But Maddron adds that she's concerned about maintaining the academic core, at the University and says she hopes they don't get carried away and short-change existing liberal arts programs A report recently released by the state Legislative Research Office says a university with engineering and other technical programs is essential" to high technology firms The report also says that firms evaluate course offerings, faculty reputation, the number of students in engineering programs and the number of undergraduates who go on to graduate programs Larry Smith, director of the University's Career Planning and Placement Service, says the high technology industry is the most popular type of industry being talked about for the state of Oregon "The basis of the hi-tech com panies is going to be in those heavy, science-related disci plines," like computer science chemistry physics and biology, he says Theoretical physics gets right at the core of the developing new technologies as do chemistry and biology." Smith says adding that the quality of the University s DNA research and genetic engineering studies is extremely good Attracting new kinds of industries to our area increases the demand for people acquainted with marketing techniques for the new technologies Smith says He suggests that business and science students study both mar keting and a technical field Recent graduates who went to work in positions closely related to their studies "were those in the more technical majors — account ing. computer science business, architecture " Because financing an education probably will be tougher in the future Smith says "we may see a slight decline in the number of people who attend and graduate from college, which could cause employers to place higher value on college graduates.” Smith says that one year after graduating, 89 percent of the University's June, 1980, graduates were employed — 63 percent in jobs closely or highly related to their fields of study Oregon is not losing because of outward migration of college students,' he says "College graduates who are willing to be mobile and start at entry-level positions and gain un derstanding of business procedures are likely to move up to managerial positions.” Smith says 'The employment prospects are reasonable, especially if students make a sound attempt' The employment prospects are reasonable, especially if students make a sound attempt to gain im mediately marketable skills "If we are near the bottom (of the business cycle) now. and the demand for college graduates is relatively stable compared to the previous year, the outlook for col lege students, which is not that bad now, can only continue to get brighter as the economy recovers ’ 7^r fJtU\f*JOUf */£*/ COfiAfPi UP, PoC?" & "PAPfJ^ tfoo/S W4//TZP Ttf&t WtLOH/eP dcrf Cfi6\$£P!
