This paper presents our pedagogy for chemical process safety (CPS) education across the curriculum. Building on a unifying theme of "Conservation of Life" (COL), we have four goals: 1) Make students aware of CPS/COL principles, 2) Promote a culture of safety, 3) Assess student learning, 4) Require minimal resources. We discuss our experience and…

This paper describes the use of weblabs--web based experiments--for cooperative learning by students working together from two different locations to conduct experiments and write reports.

Describes the evaluation of engineering technology programs and the problems faced by the engineering technology graduate. Asserts that the "identity crisis" developing in the engineering community between the engineer and the engineering technologist could be averted if positive steps are taken to spell out the differences between the two.

Presented is a descriptive guide of the field of engineering physics for employees, advisors, and students selecting careers. Included are listings of institutions offering engineering physics programs and a sample outline of course work required for accreditation in the field. (SL)

The nine Reactor Statics Modules are designed to introduce students to the use of numerical methods and digital computers for calculation of neutron flux distributions in space and energy which are needed to calculate criticality, power distribution, and fuel burn-up for both slow neutron and fast neutron fission reactors. The diffusion…

Discusses the Undergraduate Curriculum Development in Engineering program. Provides a short history of the program. Describes 10 curriculum projects ranging from engineering design to industry participation. Each program is encouraged to develop: analytical ability, ability to innovate and synthesize, integrating ability, and contextual…

Described is a professional development program at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland. Discussed are the teaching of the relationship of civil engineering to society and ethics, issues about the style of this type of course, and summative evaluation. Recommendations are provided. (CW)

Reported is the development of a self-instructional course in engineering statics designed for engineering students that has been implemented in several institutions. There are 15 unit modules in the course divided into three different levels. Each unit begins with a description of general objectives. The unit is then divided into several subunits…

Presents summary data of 15 universities providing undergraduate degrees in environmental engineering. Data include schools, curricula, enrollment, and graduate employment. (SL)

Describes an experimental engineering education program being conducted at the University of North Dakota which integrates freshmen students into upper class activities. Emphasis is on real engineering problems considered to be important. (SL)

This paper describes the content of a seminar-type engineering course dealing with materials reutilization (recycling). The course, consisting of lecture and discussion by various faculty and outside experts as well as student presentations of research papers on recycling topics, is intended to investigate current areas in which recycling of…

A description is given of a bifurctional, integrated Chemical Engineering program at The College of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia. The Program and the institution have evolved from a highly technical and specialized orientation to one that can be characterized as a broader based, management orientation. A synthesis is given of the reasons…
