The elective course encompasses the growth and expansion of American technology, taking into account the role of the government and labor, and the benefits and disadvantages of rapid growth and the resulting change on the quality of life in America. Emphasis is upon students describing the resources needed for and identifying the influence of big business upon industrialization, recognizing problems of the growth of industry, and proposing reforms to correct problems of industrialization today. The guide, arranged as other Quinmester units, is divided into broad goals, a course content, and activities, and materials section. (SJM)
