Describes an experimental design course for engineering and art students based on the concepts of creativity and innovation. Class involvement was encouraged and groups of three people worked best with mixing of engineering and non-engineering students. Students expressed interest and enthusiasm for the course. (DF)

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 two-year experience of conducting an interdisciplinary undergraduate program which integrates liberal arts into technical curricula and emphasize non-conventional learning processes and evaluation. The purpose is to prepare students with abilities to develop technology needed by society and to minimize its side effects harmful to the…

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 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 Sloan Foundation undergraduate project conducted at the University of California at Santa Clara, with emphases upon interdisciplinary design. Indicates that engineering should be seen as a broad education for a technology dependent society, rather than education leading to a specialized, dead-end career. (CC)

Discusses the study of design problems by interdisciplinary student-faculty groups under the sponsorship of the Sloan Foundation and in cooperation with industry, government, and community organizations. Included is a list of design projects. (CC)

Describes the development of a model curriculum for a joint five-year program in engineering and social work at Washington University. (CC)

Discusses experience of being a Ph.D. candidate in the Union Graduate School (UGS). Concludes that obtaining the UGS degree is not easy, but the program makes sense to the writer at his age and with his experience and interests. (CC)
