Because rapid growth of nanotechnology is expected to lead to intentional and non-intentional releases, future engineers will need to minimize negative environmental and health impacts of nanomaterials. We developed two upper-level undergraduate courses centered on life-cycle assessment of nanomaterials. The first part of the course sequence…

Objectives of a project-oriented mechanical engineering course, Engineering Design, were achieved through a design project, where students designed, built and demonstrated an extreme version of a basic Theo Jansen device. Through this project, junior students in the University of Louisiana fully developed the capability of applying mathematic and…

The Math-Science-Engineering Technology in Iowa on Applied Renewable Energy Areas (MSETI-AREA) projects are aimed at providing area school teachers with an applied mathematics and science curriculum package based on photovoltaic (PV) power, wind power, human power and hydrogen fuel-cell fundamentals. The MSETI-AREA project has established a…

Presents a detailed outline of topics and lectures and references for a survey course on process synthesis at Auburn University, Alabama. (JN)

Discussed are problems facing mining and mineral engineering education and the prospects for future resolution of the problems. (SL)

Presented is a review of institutions offering baccalaureate programs in engineering technology. (SL)

Reviews both baccalaureate and associate degree programs in engineering technology. These programs have increased and expanded primarily as a response to society's demand for technical manpower. (MLH)

A revised version of a paper presented at a mini-plenary session of the 88th Annual Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, June 25, 1980, is discussed. A panel of industry and government representatives addressed the question of the kinds of educational backgrounds that will be called…

Describes recruitment efforts aimed at attracting women students to the engineering technology program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Discusses five activities undertaken: (1) secondary school visits; (2) counselor's workshops; (3) women's day programs; (4) literature packets; and (5) follow-up surveys. Women's enrollment is 16…

Lists and describes several established organizations and associated organizations with engineering technology interests, including new organizations and technical education organizations. (CS)

This paper gives an account of research on the structure of turbulence close to a solid boundary. Included is a method to study the flow close to the wall of a pipe without interferring with it. (Author/JN)
