The first part of this two part volume includes articles relating to engineering education. Topics included are personalizing instruction, individualizing instruction, programed instruction, rewarding good teaching, and the use of different approaches to improve teaching. Part II contains descriptive data from 201 engineering colleges concerning:…

This publication was designed to provide comparative information on programs for those students considering graduate work in physics and related fields. Entries include program data from institutions of higher learning in the United States and Puerto Rico, for a total of 210 doctoral programs and 336 master's degree programs in physics and…

A program is described which embodies a cooperative approach and should, if employed on a nationwide basis, serve to establish solid lines of communication between various colleges and universities on a wide scale. (DF)

Describes a variety of educational routes by students who do not follow the traditional English pattern (advanced level physics followed by a fulltime honors degree course at a university). (CP)

Presents the philosophy and structure of an environmental program designed to retain the students identities as chemists. Describes the two core courses in environmental chemistry and lists the instructional materials used. (GS)

Prospective physics researchers do not get enough background and sophistication in physics at the undergraduate level in a college with no research program. Authors describe an enrichment program for such students that takes place during two summers of an MS degree program. (PS)

Describes a program that offers practical experience with real engineering problems. Outlines selection of student participants, program operation, course and project guidelines, funding and program evaluation. (GS)

Describes an attempt to make graduate study in chemistry more flexible by separating some courses into individual one-credit units called modules. Gives examples of topics covered by a single module and presents the advantages and disadvantages of using such a system. (GS)

Describes the organization of degree programs by phases. Discusses the prospects of students in research and employment in fields related to biochemistry in Belgium and the Netherlands. (CW)

Describes a restructuring program that places more emphasis on blending research and teaching at the practical level. Heavier emphasis will be placed on engineering and additional consideration given to environmental technology, economics, business, and law. (GS)

Describes a graduate level program open to students with bachelor's degrees in science and engineering. The program requires both course work and a combined laboratory-research project. (GS)

The establishment and development of a graduate program in bioengineering at the University of Michigan is discussed. Included are the student entrance requirements, types of future employment for program graduates, and the philosophy underlying the choice of coursework and instructional methods for the program.
