Engineering technician students had the opportunity to receive degrees in their respective fields. The as- sociate in science degree took two or two and one- half years to complete, depending on the course.

DM Students Learn Skills Valuable to CC Industries The added need for trained men to work in the technical area has been partially filled by students who have graduated from Del Mar's Technical Institute. The students were under the guidance of many of the best instructors that were available in the fields of study that Del Mar Tech offered on its campus. The graduates of Del Mar Technical Institute, who must complete a two or two and one-half year course of study depending on the particular subject, were easily able to fulfill jobs at large technical companies such as General Electric, Wfestinghouse, McDonnell Aircraft, many jobs offered by the government and also technical positions with private concerns. Many graduates went into businesses of their own. Ben Burkett gains practical experience in learning to use the resin box as a check of the humidity.
