Presents the objectives of a four-year college education in engineering. Evaluated self-paced instruction as a means of achieving those objectives. (GS)

Describes a two semester course of 24 units based on "University Physics" by Sears and Zemansky which has two levels of mastery: passing and superior, but is graded. Experience with four repetitions is reported. (GH)

This programed textbook was developed under a contract with the United States Office of Education as Number 5 in a series of materials for use in an electrical engineering sequence. It is divided into three parts--(1) capacitors, (2) voltage-current relationships, and (3) simple resistance-capacitance networks. (DH)

This programed text on diode and diode circuits was developed under contract with the United States Office of Education as Number 4 in a series of materials for use in an electrical engineering sequence. It is intended as a supplement to a regular text and other instructional material. (DH)

This programed text on resistive networks was developed under contract with the United States Office of Education as part of a series of materials for use in an electrical engineering sequence. It is to be used in conjunction with other materials and with other short texts in the series, this one being Number 3. (DH)

This programed textbook was developed under contract with the United States Office of Education as Number 2 of a series of materials for use in an electrical engineering sequence. It is divided into five parts--(1) Ohm's Law, (2) resistance, (3) conductance, (4) voltage sources, and (5) current sources. (DH)

This programed text on electromechanical energy conversion (motors and generators) was developed under contract with the U.S. Office of Education as Number 12 in a series of materials for use in an electrical engineering sequence. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other materials and with other short texts in the series. (DH)

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…

Uses extracts from a Learning Activity Package in basic surveying to illustrate the motivating factors found in the audio-tutorial system of instruction. (JR)

Describes changing methods in engineering instruction including efforts to: (1) increase opportunities for continuing education, (2) make instruction at all levels more responsive to the needs and abilities of individual students, and (3) educate engineers about the social consequences of their work. (Author/GS)

Describes how guided design is applied to a freshman engineering course so that professional and social concerns are integrated into a problem-solving approach. (PR)

The advent of microprocessor technology requires that the teaching of computer basics become a part of undergraduate digital electronics courses. This paper describes a laboratory-oriented approach to basic instruction requiring less than 10 hours student study time. The technique utilizes a programmed text and a small 4-bit computer,…
