Discusses the chemical engineering department at Rutgers University, emphasizing the traditional graduate program and a bio-chemical engineering program. (MLH)

Describes a tour of engineering education institutions and government research laboratories. Comments on the high quality of both, despite some lack of equipment and facilities. (MLH)

Discusses the major objections to the concept of a professional engineering school and prospects for other types of engineering programs. (MLH)

Describes the innovative chemical engineering program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute which stresses project work, individualized programs and instruction, and increased faculty involvement. (MLH)

Discusses why step-by-step educational processes are ineffective and discriminate against certain population groups. Describes how one engineering science and mechanics department addresses certain elements of this problem. (MLH)

Analyzes chemical engineering education in Mexico in light of the greatly expanding chemical industry and resultant rising engineering enrollments in that country. (MLH)

Reveals that 107 institutions offer baccalaureate engineering technology (BET) programs; the majority of these consider their programs to be expanding. This survey finds a current ratio of one BET graduate to every seven B.S. engineering graduates. Includes a list of institutions offering the BET program, including required areas of study. (MLH)

Discusses programs aimed at lowering the dropout rate of minority engineering students. (MLH)

Describes an education program in which engineering students remain affiliated with their traditional departments but obtain a subspecialty in engineering education by taking 20-30 quarter hours of elective coursework in engineering education. (MLH)

Discusses the evolution of the chemical engineering department at Iowa State. Describes the undergraduate and graduate programs, the department facilities, and faculty activities. (MLH)

It is proposed that the construction industry collaborate with educational practitioners and administrators to establish the objectives of construction engineering programs. Other recommendations are that the construction industry assume direct teaching responsibility for designated areas of instruction; provide program support, such as work…

The educational philosophy and programs for the education of manufacturing and production engineers in these three countries are discussed. Included are curriculum standards, course content, differences in prestige of the engineering profession, and the types of educational institutions offering engineering instruction. (MLH)

The study was prepared, at the request of UNESCO, by the European Federation of National Associations of Engineers (FEANI), an organization grouping the engineering associations of 18 countries and including 650,000 engineers. The differences in the types of engineering programs and graduation requirements of the various countries are examined,…

Describes the use in chemical engineering education of FLOWTRAN, a large steady-state simulator of chemical processes with extensive facilities for physical and thermodynamic data-handling and a large library of equipment modules, including cost estimation capability. (MLH)

Reviews the principles and describes the broad thrust of the training of engineers in China. (SL)
