Electronics. Occupational Competency Analysis Profile.
Ohio State Univ., Columbus. Vocational Instructional Materials Lab.
This Occupational Competency Analysis Profile (OCAP) contains a competency list verified by expert workers and developed through a modified DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) involving business, industry, labor, and community agency representatives from Ohio. This OCAP identifies the occupational, academic, and employability skills (competencies) needed to enter electronics occupations. The competencies are clustered into nine units that cover the following topics: orientation; basic electronic theory; basic electronic skills; basic troubleshooting and repair; consumer products applications and servicing; communications electronics applications and servicing; computer applications and servicing; industrial electronics applications and servicing; and electro-optic technology applications and servicing. In addition, employability competencies are grouped into 12 units: career development; decision making and problem solving; work ethic; job-seeking skills; job retention and career advancement skills; technology in the workplace; lifelong learning; economic education; balancing work and family; citizenship in the workplace; leadership; and entrepreneurship. The units detail the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (competency builders) needed to perform each competency. Within the competency list are two levels of items, core items essential for entry-level employment, and items needed to advance in electronics occupations. The OCAP guide also contains an academic job profile based on the Work Keys syustem that identifies the level of applied academic skills that students must master to qualify for and be successful in their occupations; a total list of academic competencies in communication, mathematics, and science that all students should master; and a specific list of academic competencies needed for electronics occupations.
