Manpower, Training, and Education 



The training and education of personnel needed for the Nation's marine 

 research and engineering development programs pose a continuing challenge. 

 The range of skills and levels of competence needed is extraordinary. Most 

 of the major scientific and engineering disciplines are involved, and educa- 

 tional levels from support technician to research scientist. 



In the early stages of the development of the federally supported marine 

 sciences program, one of the primary objectives was to build and restructure 

 the sources of trained personnel. The rationale for this action, which is still 

 valid today, was that the future course of oceanography and the "ocean- 

 related" fields required more and better trained people at all levels, for 

 program management as well as to carry out the ambitious programs en- 

 visioned for the 1960-70 decade.-''
