Abstract
The Western Electric Company´s Corporate Education Center offers a program in microcomputer education for graduate engineer employees of the company. The courses which are typically two weeks in length, cover the range from courses for engineers with no computer experience to courses for engineers who will be designing equipment incorporating microprocessors. Included is a description of the overall program with projections of new courses to be added in the early 1980´s. Some of the major problems encountered in starting and maintaining the program are discussed. The equipment used by students for laboratory exercises is described.
