A Conceptual Design for the Cost Evaluation of Alternative Educational Systems in Managing the Air Force Academy and Air Force ROTC.

Abstract

Designs of two models customized to the management needs of the U.S. Air Force Academy and the Air Force (ROTC) Reserve Officers Training Corps are detailed. The model, upon implementation, would permit administrators to obtain answers to various 'what if....' management questions. The design of these models was based on a situation analysis of the U.S. Air Force Academy and the Air Force ROTC and a state-of-the-art analysis of existing educational cost models. No solution was attempted for the difficult problem of obtaining good measures of the effectiveness of educational systems: these are resource requirements prediction models. This effort has produced customer participation and acceptance; implementation is for the future. (Modified author abstract)
