This guide is intended for use in teaching a course in industrial enterprise. The course, which has been designed using a student-centered approach, is intended to help students understand the dynamics of an industrial enterprise as a fusion of two technologies--material processing and management. The first two sections discuss the guide's development within the framework of North Carolina's efforts to improve technological literacy and the guide's place as part of an instructional system. A list of the course's major objectives and a course outline are provided next. The remainder of the guide consists of learning modules on the following topics: components in a managed production system and industrial enterprises, developing a product for manufacture, organizing an enterprise, operating an enterprise, and closing an enterprise. Each module includes information about the length of time needed to complete the module, an introduction to the instructional content to be covered in class, performance objectives, a day-by-day outline of student learning activities, related flowcharts and line drawings, and lists of suggested textbooks and references.
