The Center for Vocational and Technical Education is developing a system for acquiring and using occupational information effectively in designing and revising curricula. This interim report is offered before completion of the major project so that the occupational information collected during the development of the system may be available for use by curriculum developers, instructors, and others involved in planning and conducting vocational and technical programs. Automotive mechanics are skilled and highly trained people in the field of automotive repair and maintenance. It is the purpose of this report to present the results of the task inventory analysis survey conducted by the project staff in the automotive mechanics occupational area.
