Reports on a limited survey of published curriculum guides to determine if courses in the category of "technical sciences" are included in engineering technology curricula, what courses appear most frequently, and what proportion of total time allocation do they represent. (GS)

Examines arguments for and against the professional school concept. Presents a professional school model master plan for Texas colleges of engineering. Guidelines and the curriculum at Texas A&M for the doctor of engineering program are examined. (CS)

This is the sixth volume in a UNESCO series of comparative studies designed to establish the conceptual bases of the comparability of programs and degrees at various stages of training and to ascertain the general criteria for determining international equivalences in order to simplify recognition of degrees or diplomas obtained at other…

Examines the impacts of a modular course and degree structure upon students, teachers, as well as general effects upon the Bachelor of Science (BS) program. Explains how the program operates at a typical university and proposes future applications of the concept. (CP)

Surveys the course requirements in the humanities and social sciences for 100 two and four year technology programs. For some associate programs, only one or two courses are required; in 40 percent of the cases studied, the requirement is for three courses, or nine semester hours credit. (MLH)

Describes the advantages and disadvantages of a college program that leads to both a degree in physics and a teacher's certificate. (MLH)

Describes the content of a one year post-degree program of science teacher education that utilizes flexible scheduling of required courses and integration of curriculum, methods, philosophical analysis, educational psychology and sociology. (AL)

Describes a computer engineering program including: (1) student activities; (2) positive impact of complementary programs; and (3) additional faculty tasks to support the program. (SK)

Describes the structure and content of a four-year physics/microcomputer degree program at the University of Surrey. (SK)

Presents the author's personal impression of his one-year participation (1976-77) in the science education program at the University of California at Berkeley. The German author's suggestions for the adaptation of such program in West Germany or Europe are also discussed. (HM)

Some universities and technical schools in the United Kingdom have established a new discipline of environmental science usually rooted in, but distinct from ecology, geology, and planning. The article describes such a program at the New University of Ulster. (Author/SA)

Describes some initial efforts being made to provide students in the allied health sciences with both inter-pathway mobility and upward mobility in their education and careers. Presents problems with the present system, three approaches to dealing with those problems, and developments in the area of core curricula. (GS)

Sanitary engineering (also known as public health engineering in the United States) covers all fields where engineering activities are more efficient than medical action for dealing with public health concerns. This book focuses on the training of individuals for these fields. Part I provides information on the general organization of training in…

Described is a Master of Science Teaching Degree program which involves the collaboration of seven departments: biology, chemistry and biochemistry, physics, geology, geography, computer science, and mathematics. Degree requirements, course descriptions, and rationale for the program are discussed. (CW)
