This document is designed as a guidebook for faculty and administrators of the newly-established Regional Colleges of Burma. The Regional Colleges are three-year postsecondary institutions designed to train middle level technicians to help increase the production of goods and services needed in the Burmese economy. Concentrating on the Hawaii Community College system, the author reviews the process of developing new courses, curricula, and programs in community colleges in the United States and proposes methods of adapting this process to the Regional Colleges. A detailed procedure for developing a program in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration is provided as an illustration of the process of program development. The use of program advisory committees and college faculty and administrators for program improvement are also discussed. Appendices include a sample format for new course proposals, a sample course outline, a program evaluation guide for general education areas, and descriptions of a marine pipefitter certificate program and an occupational safety program.
