Reports some reactions and opinions of the students to a course in nuclear and radiation chemistry using programmed instructional aids. Concludes that the findings were very favorable to the course. (GA)

This is the final report to the National Science Foundation (NSF) from a grant to develop a course in biometeorological field techniques. Objectives of the course were to give students experiences in making field measurements of parameters of the physical environment and their impact on plants and animals; and to develop an understanding of the…

A nuclear technology college course for engineering students is outlined and described. The course begins with an historical account of the scientific discoveries leading up to the uranium experiments of Hahn and Strassman in Germany and the subsequent explanation of nuclear fission by Meitner and Frisch. The technological achievements of the…

A description is given of a three credit-hour course entitled Radiation and the Environment. The course syllabus along with descriptions and criticisms of the course texts, are included. Also, some quotes from student's papers are presented indicating attitudes toward nuclear energy at the end of the course. (MR)

Describes a nuclear and radiation chemistry course offered to second and third year students at the University of New South Wales, England. (SL)

Discusses who takes college-level courses on solar energy; what material should be covered; sources of texts, outlines, curricula, and teaching aids; kinds of equipment needed; and science-, business-, and vocationally-oriented programs to prepare for such solar energy careers as design, research, education, and construction.
