Description
Continuous professional growth of each individual becomes mandatory in order to meet the challenge of 1970 . This continuous individual growth in most professions is being made possible through such activities as seminars, conventi ons, space congresses, but even more so by courses offered through universities and colleges.
Recent activities of The American Society for Quality Control, Education and Training Institute are providing some opportunities for professional upgrading. The most recent of these activities is the professional certificate program in Quality Engineering . In addition to this program, there exists extensive interest and participation in specialized training institutes, conventions and seminars throughout all areas of the ASQC.
Before real professional growth can occur, there must be a corresponding growth in areas of higher education. According to a survey completed by Catherine Hock and presented to the 1966 convention on maintainability and reliability, there exists an extremely limited availability of quality and reliability higher education opportunities within the United States. There are only two (2) colleges offering associate degrees in quality and reliability; San Diego City College and Brevard Junior College . There is no degree program at the Bachelor of Science level . Only one (1) college or university offers a Master 1s Degree with a reliability or quality option, namely Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Florida.
