GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Overview

Printing/Graphics Technology is a program of study which is consistent with the philosophyand purpose of the institution. The program provides academic foundations incommunications, mathematics, and human relations, as well as technical fundamentals.Program graduates are well grounded in the fundamentals of printing/graphics technologyand are prepared for employment and subsequent upward mobility.

The Printing/Graphics Technology program provides the student with necessary knowledgeand skills to adapt to a variety of positions in the rapidly changing printing/graphicstechnology field. Skill development in computer technology plays a ital role in thePrinting/Graphics Technology program. Important attributes for success of programgraduates are critical thinking, problem solving, human relations skills, and the ability toapply technology to work requirements.

The program structure acknowledges individual differences and provides opportunities forstudents to seek fulfillment of their respective educational goals. The program does notdiscriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicapping condition,academic or economic disadvantage.

To assist each student to attain his or her respective potential within the program, both theinstructor and the student incur an obligation in the learning process. The instructor is amanager of instructional resources and organizes instruction in a manner which promoteslearning. The student assumes responsibility for learning by actively participating in thelearning process.

This is a dynamic field which requires ongoing attention to current curriculum and up-to-date instructional equipment, materials, and processes. The Printing/Graphics Technologyprogram must promote the concept of change as the profession evolves. The need fornurturing the spirit of involvement and lifelong learning is paramount in theprinting/graphics technology field.



GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Standard Curriculum

The Printing/Graphics Technology program guide presents the standard Printing/GraphicsTechnology curriculum for technical institutes in Georgia. This curriculum addresses theminimum competencies for a Printing/Graphics Technology program. The competencyareas included in a local Printing/Graphics Technology program may exceed what iscontained in this program guide, but it must encompass the minimum competenciescontained herein.

As changes occur in Printing/Graphics Technology, this program guide will be revised toreflect those changes. Proposed changes are first evaluated and approved by the localprogram advisory committee and then forwarded to the State Technical Committee forapproval and inclusion in the state standard program guide.

This program guide is designed to relate to a comprehensive coverage of theprinting/graphics technology industry. It includes specializations in art and copypreparation, prepress/image assembly, and lithographic press operations.



GENERAL. INFORMATION

Introduction

Developmental Process

The development of the Printing/Graphics Technology program guide was based on thepremise that the people in the industry can best determine program needs. With this inmind, representatives from businesses which would employ program graduates were askedto serve on a state technical committee to help identify the technical content and to provideoverall guidance to ensure that the resulting program would produce graduates qualified forentry level technical positions in the industry.

Representatives from the various occupational areas recommended by the State TechnicalCommittee verified the task list compiled from extensive research. These were workersactually performing the duties and tasks being verified.

Technical institutes which would implement the curriculum were also included in thedevelopmental effort. Representatives from the technical institutes provided the expertisein teaching methodology unique to each discipline and developed the courses contained inthis program guide.

The University of Georgia coordinated and directed the development of the curriculum andproduced the final program guide. The role of each group in the developmental process isshown in the following diagram.
