is little relationship between transistors, railway mail delivery, organicchemistry, and carburetors. The fact that these very different technological fields (electronics,mechanics and chemistry) are in close proximity in the USPC is a product of its organicevolution. The opposite is also true: related subject matter can be found in classes that are farapart, numerically speaking. For example, Class 12, Boot and Shoe Making and Class 36, Boots,Shoes and Leggings are closely related but not proximate in the USPC. Class 259 in the seriesabove is currently vacant and does not appear in the list of classes on the USPC website.

Adherence to University-level course content,academic rigor, and faculty preparation were important aspects in program delivery. Second,while an on campus delivery made Purdue courses a possibility for high school students, veryfew were geographically close enough to campus to take advantage of the opportunity. Thechallenge was to create a mechanism that would satisfy Purdue University’s concerns regardinga high quality and academically rigorous dual credit experience and still keep the coursesaccessible to high school juniors and seniors.

Atotal of 7 students voluntarily enrolled in the training and attended it regularly.
