Among the benefits derived from a detailed curriculum analysis is the actual analysis process itself. Creating a curriculum diagram can lead to better understanding of what can and should be taught. (Author/BB)

A curriculum research and development project is described. The project, sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education, is intended to develop and test a curriculum for training energy conservation and use technicians. (BB)

Documented are the development and results of a course in engineering management. The course incorporates experiences in engineering management problem solving in actual field situations. Student teams function as consultants for a paying client over a two-semester period. (RE)

Compares two engineering education reports which urge the following needs and emphases: attract and retain minorities, retain students already in engineering school, and allow students to enter the engineering program at various levels. Criticizes the Office of Technology Assessment's report and supplies prescriptions for the future. (MVL)

The lack of consistency and uniformity throughout California concerning program and course objectives, titles and content, prompted the study reported in this article. Community colleges statewide were included in the study. Curricular characteristics of engineering technology and industrial technology programs were recommended and definitions…

Early computers, hardware, and software are described. Recent developments in hardware, computer science education, and curriculum are discussed. (DT)

Describes a curriculum project aimed at developing a two-year, non-traditional engineering technology program employing the latest instructional materials. Provides a list of descriptive course titles for the program. (MLH)

Describes: (1) the selection of honors students; (2) components of a superior education; and (3) honors programs at Iowa State University (ISU). Programs at ISU include honors courses, honors seminars, converted courses, independent study, as well as altering requirements. (JN)

Suggest re-orientation of engineering curricula to solve problems encountered in staffing technically capable personnel in municipal government bodies. (CC)

Suggests offering of law school courses to engineering majors, making it possible for them to deal with interfaces between the two professions. (CC)

Describes an approach which integrates experiential learning with the study of subject matter. The foundation of this program is a systems design called SAM, Self-Actualized Model. Presents design details of the program and an initial evaluation. (GS)

Analyzes the relationship between precollege and college microcomputer use, focusing on equity (who gets access to microcomputers) and on curricular policy (how engineering colleges adapt to the advent of popular microcomputing). Computer hardware, instructional issues, and educational objectives are also considered. (Author/JN)

Discusses recent approach at undergraduate engineering curriculum emphasizing bringing some engineering courses to freshman and sophomore levels. Summarizes several examples of the approach at various institutions throughout the country. (YP)
