Industrial arts programs as part of the total education program can make valuable contributions to career education in Oklahoma. This publication establishes operational guidelines for strengthening the role of industrial arts in the career education context. Goals and subject areas should vary at the different grade levels, elementary through junior and senior high and continuing education. New industrial processes have made many traditional subject areas obsolete. Industrial arts education programs should be evaluated to determine the extent to which they are meeting current needs. A program evaluation rating scale is provided to aid in this determination. (MF)
