Abstract

In recent years industrial arts programs have experienced a rapid increase in student enrollment. This is especially true of the drafting area. The extraordinary rate of industrial development within our state is largely responsible for demands for improved training in high school drafting programs.

The apparent inconsistency of course content being taught in Utah high schools indicates a strong need for a unified drafting program that will meet the challenge of our industrial society.

Recently, in a few of our Utah high schools, drafting courses that seem to be effected by industrial influence have been added to the industrial arts programs. These courses, along with others of a technical nature, have been added to apparently fill a gap that exists between the schools' training and industries' needs. The question is asked: Are industrial arts drafting programs in Utah high schools unified in their efforts to meet the needs of our local industries?
