Abstract: In response to a mandate in the 1984 Perkins Act, representatives of Hawaii's computer/data processing industry and state council on vocational education formed a technical committee to develop an inventory of the skills and knowledge necessary for a career as a data processing equipment maintenance technician, a computer technician, or a computer repairer. Relevant materials available from other states were reviewed. A preliminary inventory was drafted by State Board for Vocational Education staff and then revised three times after a group meeting and person-to-person interviews. The following issues were considered during the development process: future directions of the industry, employment opportunities, the amenability of computer repairer curricula to being converted to a 2+2+2 training configuration, and new skill technologies. The inventory ultimately developed contained 108 skills in the following areas: fundamentals of data processing equipment and general systems; system architecture; central processing unit architecture and timing; tools and test equipment; buses, protocols, and handshakes for input/output operations and communications; generic troubleshooting; miscellaneous concerns; safety; knowledge of software; and attitudes and social skills. (Appended are data on employment opportunities for computer repairers in Hawaii.) (MN)
