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 a plan developed by Engineers Council for Professional Development (ECPD, American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) for a cooperative nationwide guidance effort intending to cover the entire engineering spectrum. Responsibility for development, implementation, and management…

Describes an experimental design course for engineering and art students based on the concepts of creativity and innovation. Class involvement was encouraged and groups of three people worked best with mixing of engineering and non-engineering students. Students expressed interest and enthusiasm for the course. (DF)

The cooperative program, its rationale and development, since 1968, at The University of the Pacific are described. The school is on a 4-1-4 calendar with four courses fall and spring, a one-course January term, and a regular summer term. Cooperative work experience begins in the third year. (TS)

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)

Presents a description of the programs offered by a fictitious technology and society department as a model for future programs designed to provide a liberalized technical education. (GS)

This paper proposes that the key to a quality graduate organizational behavior education is developing skills and a critical analytical student attitude for evaluating organizational behavior research. The appropriateness of this attitude and skill development with different student populations are discussed, and guidelines proposed for developing…

Assesses the state of "applied Japanese studies" in American institutions of higher education, with particular reference to activities of designated centers of Japanese studies (including Lehigh University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, and others). Also identifies how programs might be expanded to better serve…

Massachusetts Institute of Technology fossil fuels program focusses on the science and engineering problems involved in the combustion of fuels and in their high-temperature thermal processing. (BB)

Traces the integration of engineering, humanities, and social sciences from the major objectives of 1955 to present curricula designed to produce the socio-engineer. Predicts future trends in curriculum development reflecting the growing relationship between technology and the values and condition of man. (GS)
