Abstract	This thesis describes the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of a training module to instruct graduate foreign students to learn the representation of the binary system and the method of decimal-binary conversion. The designer selected programmed instruction as the method of instruction and used the "lean" approach to develop the materials. The instructional book, designed specifically for non-computer background students who may have related work with computers was delivered to students at the New York Institute of Technology Metropolitan Center. Based on formative evaluation techniques, the instructional materials were tested and refined. Procedures were followed to ensure the validity and reliability of the materials. The final version of the book was successful--all students who failed the pre-test passed the posttest, and students had a positive attitude toward the program. The recommendations of the project include suggestions to extend the program content to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in the binary system, as well as the inclusion of other number systems. Suggestions are also made to extend the learning process. Appendices included are: (1) "Project Planning"; (2) "Task Analysis"; (3) "Pretest"; (4) Post Test"; (5) "Instructional Materials"; (6) "Pre-Learning Questionnaire"; (7) "Post-Learning Questionnaire"; and (8) "Instructional Materials."
