Reviews and discusses objectives of the humanities and social science (HSS) component in undergraduate engineering programs, examining variations in HSS requirements among engineering disciplines. Also suggests some innovative approaches intended to resolve the conflict between the objectives and the current reality in engineering curricula. (JN)

Presents a series of concrete suggestions essential to the solution of problems encountered in engineering education. Indicates that engineering schools should play important roles in the new liberal education movement. (CC)

Presents a design for a workshop modeled after the engineering design process. A step-by-step approach is suggested for each aspect of the design process. (SA)

Discusses the relationship among biological organisms, social organization, and machines (BIOSOMA) and the need of redefining liberal education. Indicates that engineering curricula should contribute to the definition and prepare for a wider spectrum of careers than just engineering. (CC)

Presents a series of value statements for use as the applied humanities'' stem of the professional curriculum, and suggests four relevant curriculum items for helping professional-oriented students recognize the societal nature of professional problems. (For Part Two of this article, see SE 509 329, volume 63 number 8, pages 599-602, May, 1973.)…

Suggests a guideline to the four-year applied humanities course for professional schools. Concludes that the ability of assessing and predicting the professional decision consequences is the end product which can be obtained by institutionalizing the change mechanism in normal educational programs. (For Part One of this article, see SE 509 318,…

Discusses the design principles and operations of a new program with emphases upon integrated curriculum planning, individually paced instruction, and mastery learning. Indicates that students succeed better both in pre-professional courses and in follow-up engineering courses than do those in conventional courses. (CC)

Discusses the conduct of a master degree industrial management program at the Polytechnic Institute of New York for students with undergraduate training in engineering and science. Indicates that the program is characterized by unique options developed on the basis of students' strengths and proved satisfactory in fostering actual upward mobility.…

This description of a laboratory experience for engineering students emphasizes guided design, a slow-motion experience in decision making of an open-ended problem. (SA)

Assesses the current state of engineering education, citing both strengths and deficiencies of current curricula. Poses questions about extending programs beyond four years and dual-level accreditation (bachelor's and master's) programs. Presents four alternative solutions to the future evolution of accreditation, voicing a need for a national…
