Abstract	The purpose of this project was broadened to include other science technologies and the curriculum was renamed Science Technology. A survey of employers in the Northern Virginia area indicated that there were employment opportunities in a wide range of science technologies and many laboratory skills are common to all the job activities of currently employed technicians. Based on these findings, curricula for a two-year degree and a one-year certificate were prepared. The science technology components of these curricula were developed as modules, self-instructional, self-pacing, independent units of instruction. A total of 35 modules are currently available. Of these, five were obtained from other sources, two were produced by students, and the remainder were developed by the project director. Some of the modules have been tested by students. Testing the modules by students, revision on the basis of their recommendations, modification of ChemTec materials for the program, and arrangements for the on-the-job training phase of the curricula are being carried out.
