GREAT NEWS!
UH and Océ Team to Solve Specialized Equipment Dilemma
In what may be one of the most perfect solutions to an age-old
specialized equipment dilemma, Océ, an international manufacturer of
printers, copiers, and digital presses, agreed in late 2001 to
provide a $65,000 state-of-the-art 3165 digital press to UH for
about one month each semester. Under the terms of the agreement,
Océ will deliver and install a digital press, train the
instructor and students, provide service and supplies, and remove
the machine at the end of the term.

The Graphic Communications Technology
program at the University of Houston was recently honored by
two scholarship donors: UH is one of six universities nationwide
that Time Incorporated Scholars may attend (read
article) and one of five schools in which students may compete
for International Newspaper Group (ING) scholarships (http://ing.azcentral.com/).
You can read about Sheila Childers and Thirza David, two of the
ING scholarship recipients, in the Spring 2002 Graphic
Technologist.
The Field
Graphic Communications Technology is an area of emphasis in
the Technology Leadership and Supervision Program offered by
the University of Houston College of Technology.
The primary objective of the Graphic Communications Technology
curriculum at University of Houston is to prepare students for
leadership roles (i.e., production management, quality control,
sales, planning, customer-service, and estimating) in graphic
communications businesses. Graphic Communications (GC) refers
to the processes and industries that create, develop, produce,
or disseminate products utilizing or incorporating words or pictorial
images to convey information, ideas, and feelings. GC products
facilitate learning, enjoyment, motivation, and commerce. Graphic
Communications includes the family of market segments embracing
the technologies of printing, publishing, packaging, electronic
imaging, and their allied industries: they are often referred
to as the graphic arts, print, or imaging industries. Effective
contemporary graphic communication requires a mix of communications
technologies: still- and motion multimedia and web sites in addition
to printed media. For this reason, the Graphic Communications
Technology curriculum at UH can be thought of as a tapestry created
by weaving together print, multimedia, and web design technologies.
The secondary objective of the Graphic Communications Technology
degree program is to prepare students for technological careers
in the graphic communications industries. The program prepares
students for a variety of careers, including Digital Imaging
Technician, Electronic Prepress Technician, Multimedia Specialist,
Webmaster, and Offset Lithographic Press Operator.
The courses cover the specific subject matter outlined by
the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF) in their GATF Imaging
Skills Curriculum. Therefore, graduates of the program are prepared
to take GATF's certification examination. The curriculum also
covers all the subject matter required to pass the certification
examination for the General Requirements for Applications in
Commercial Offset Lithography (GRACoL). There are also numerous
vendor specific examinations, such as those offered by Adobe,
which students will be able to pass-should they choose to do
so-upon completion of the program.
Graphic Communications is a dynamic and ever-changing field,
and is ranked among the largest industries in the United States.
Texas is home to over 10,000 printing operations, employing in
excess of 80,000 workers, that produce more than $6.6 billion
in sales annually! In addition, there are literally hundreds
of thousands of Texans who do graphic-related work, such as desktop-publishing,
in non-printing firms.
Graphic Communications businesses need talented and educated
people. In fact, Texas printing trade associations estimate that
a minimum of 5,700 educated technicians are needed each year
to allow the state's printing firms to maintain their current
status and continue to grow. Nationally, the Graphic Arts Technical
Foundation reports that there are over 22,000 unfilled
positions in the printing and publishing industries.
Besides the need for technicians, there is an unmet need for
leadership in the printing industry. In fact, the Graphic Communications
Technology specialization at the University of Houston was inspired
by the Printing Industries of the Gulf Coast, the Texas Printing
Education Foundation and the Houston Litho Club because professional
and educated leaders are very hard to find.
Graphic Communications businesses are exciting, dynamic and
healthy in Texas. It needs highly educated people to lead it
into the future. It needs you. Come, be part of it!
Graphic Communications Technology
at UH
 The University of Houston is involved with two
distinct educational programs within the field of Graphic Communications
Technology. The primary focus is the college-credit
program that leads to a Bachelor of Science
in Technology degree. The goal of the Bachelor's degree program
is to prepare talented individuals with the vision and knowledge
to lead the printing and publishing industry into the future.
Leaders must have a broad-based education in many fields so that
they may see the connections between trends and make wise choices.
For this reason, students in the Bachelor's
degree program learn about a wide range
of technological fields, including electronic prepress technology,
multi-media and Internet technology, presswork, finishing, costing,
planning, and printing processes. In addition, students complete a rigorous university core curriculum,
including courses in mathematics, science, social science, and
English. A fifteen semester-hour minor
is also available to students pursuing
other majors. For more information, call 713-743-4089, or send an e-mail to JWAITE@uh.edu.
The University also cooperates with
the Texas Printing Institute (TPI), a non-profit teaching activity
of the Texas Printing Education Foundation, to offer non-credit short-term courses to
working professionals. Courses are taught for three hours on
evenings and on Saturdays, usually last only five weeks, and
cover topics such as the operation of computer software and hardware.
The TPI also offers courses tailor-made to the needs of specific
businesses. For more information, call 713-522-1066.
Through its two separate programs, the
University of Houston provides college students, professional
technicians, and Houston-area printers with the answers to their
educational needs.
