In June 1992, Maui Community College (MCC), in Hawaii, conducted a survey of the communities of Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Hana to determine perceived needs for an associate degree and certificate program in electronics and computer engineering. Questionnaires were mailed to 500 firms utilizing electronic or computer services, seeking information on the anticipated level and configuration of job openings within the next 5 years, types of in-service training, curricular emphasis, and class scheduling accessibility. Study findings, based on 102 completed questionnaires, included the following: (1) 55 of the 94 Maui firms that responded anticipated adding staff within the next 5 years; (2) 50 of these firms stated that they would consider hiring graduates of the proposed program, resulting in a total of 118 anticipated new hires; (3) 82% of these firms indicated that they would pay $8 per hour or more; (4) small service and repair companies accounted for 46% of the Maui firms willing to hire program graduates, with other major segments including government, banking, computer/office equipment, and engineering; (5) 70% of these companies reported 15 or fewer employees; (6) 37 of the 94 Maui firms estimated that 109 employees would need in-service training in computer programs, applications, systems, and microprocessors; (7) for the 7 firms responding from Molokai and Lanai, 1 Molokai firm anticipated hiring 1 new employee in the next 5 years, though a need for in-service training was expressed. The cover letter, survey instrument, and employer comments are attached. (KP)
