A course relating to energy and the environment and aimed specifically at engineering students is outlined. Course objectives, format, and content are specified; required problem sets, papers, and exams are briefly discussed. (DT)

The aerospace engineering curriculum at the U.S. Naval Academy which includes an astronautical and an aeronautical track is described. The objective of the program is to give students the necessary astronautical engineering background to perform a preliminary spacecraft design during the last semester of the program. (KR)

Outlines the differences of opinion on the nature and scope of systems engineering and offers one operational definition. Describes the systems engineering curriculum at the Naval Academy, gives the objectives of an introductory systems course, and presents laboratory computer applications. (GS)

Reports results of a study comparing 15 engineering schools in the United States and abroad, focusing on undergraduate programs for the first degree beyond secondary education. For the United States, only programs leading to the B.S. in engineering were considered. (CS)

Describes a final semester internship engineering course offered at McGill University. Students are placed under the direct supervision of practicing engineers while working on actual engineering projects. (SL)

Discusses engineering education at Harvey Mudd College including allocation of curricular elements, implementation of a five-year program, and preparation for various careers. Indicates that deepening ecological and urban problems leads to the demand for more engineering generalists sensitive to further effects of today's public decisions. (CC)

Discusses the use of varied resources to conduct undergraduate systems design courses at the Drexel University with the support of the Sloan Foundation. The purpose is to provide students with an ability to develop solutions to problems encountered in a real, living, and dynamic situation. (CC)

Discusses the reliability engineering courses offered by the University of Arizona, including summer institutes and master's and bachelor's programs with a reliability option. Indicates that formally educated reliability engineers are a better solution to the manpower need than self-educated ones. (CC)

Discusses the objectives, content, and activities of the course Interactions of Environmental Engineering and Society'' conducted by the Engineering School of the University of Louisville for elementary and secondary science teachers. Indicates satisfactory results from students' and related administrators' responses. (CC)

Identifies professional attributes which are desirable in engineers and describes specific methods used by the University of Portland to encourage these qualities in their undergraduates. (CS)

Discusses the purpose and curriculum of interdisciplinary engineering management programs conducted at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Indicates that the development of a proper balance of engineering, science, and management is proved satisfactory by student acceptance, graduate placement, and feedback from both graduates and employers. (CC)

Discusses a creative engineering systems design program developed at the Clarkson College of Technology with the support of the Sloan Foundation. Indicates that the program leads to greater undergraduate use of computational facilities and more faculty research toward design applications. (CC)

The advantages of using videoconferencing in engineering education are stressed. Discussed are technological change, engineering practice, faculty development, educational effectiveness, and teleconferencing vendors. An example of a campus-based teleconferencing service is cited. (CW)
