3. Further test the TAE approach on a larger and more comprehensive popL!la:ion and on other
equipment. Further investigation should use hardware that allows wider and less restnctfve utilization of test
equipment. It may also be possible to select specific troubleshooting episodes that enable wider utilization
of more types test equipment. This type of investigation should take place to determine if certain episodes
and hardware types require special test equipment use capability. Investigate this approach in other high-tech
hardware systems as well as other occupational areas (i.e., mechanical hardware troubleshooters/repair
personnel). A TAE type delivery system should be developed for a number of other high and mid-tech
hardware systems. -- - -
4. Develop more troubleshooting episodes to provide directive training, guided training, and tests with
feedback. Then, a complete and comprehensive troubleshooting skill development, maintenance,
assessment, and evaluation program would be available for personnel from novIce to expert skill levels. TAE
could be used for active duty personnel in a school or fleet environment and for reserve personnel at the
readiness centers or aboard ship during active duty periods.
