Technology research in higher education
eyed by Atiyeh's economic recovery plan
By Brad Burton
Of ttf EmmrmKt
With increasing efforts to diver
sify Oregon's economy, the
University and its graduates will go
through diverse changes as well
For example, one aspect of Gov
Vic Atiyeh's economic recovery
plan that may have a long-term
impact on the University is the
Department of Higher Education
Action Plan. 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 ’
