Discusses factors related to developing successful programs for training faculty in various aspects of college teaching, indicating that some tangible advantage for faculty participating in such programs is needed. Illustrates this by showing how a successful program was related to paying faculty one week's salary for attending the program. (JN)

Traces the origin and development of programs that led to the creation of the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences at the University of Florida. Includes descriptions of degrees offered, type of work required, and facilities available. (GS)

Reviews and discusses objectives of the humanities and social science (HSS) component in undergraduate engineering programs, examining variations in HSS requirements among engineering disciplines. Also suggests some innovative approaches intended to resolve the conflict between the objectives and the current reality in engineering curricula. (JN)

Projects a shortage of engineers that will last until the early 1980's. Proposes a nationwide continuing education program for engineers to combat this shortage and restore individual's expertise. (GS)

Summarizes some of the technical and professional challenges that engineers have overcome as they endeavor to clarify the image of engineering as that of a profession. Recommends educational changes to assure societal leadership from engineers. (CS)

Discusses the problem (facing institutions of higher technical education) of maintaining continuing programs of institutional growth and providing for future development while meeting maintenance and operational costs. (MLH)

Discusses the trial of an elective course entitled Social Aspects of Chemical Engineering'' at McGill University. Indicates that student initiative is encouraged through the use of an uncertainly defined structure. (CC)

Lists barriers that limit the recruitment of women from the existing pool of eligible women into engineering programs. Discusses several components that are important to successful recruitment of women. Uses the program at Purdue as a successful example. Suggests special steps for faculty and administrators to follow. (CW)

Guided design, a new concept for course design and operation using engineering design techniques, is described. Presents these components of the design process: identifying the problem, goals, gathering information, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating. (PR)

Presents a variety of examples for developing a faculty evaluation system and gathering data about faculty members' activities. An equation is given that can be used to compute merit pay. The system for evaluation is designed to promote individualization in many settings. (SA)

A task profile for faculty evaluation, generated by the Psychology Department at Louisiana State University, is explained in this article. Peer review is emphasized. (SA)

Presents excerpts from an invited address given at the 1980 American Society for Engineering Education College-Industry Education Conference. Expresses viewpoints concerning priorities for the 1980s in engineering education. (CS)

Cites confusion existing today in industry over B.S. in Engineering and Bachelor in Technology (B.E.T.) Degrees as evidence that the inception of a Master in Technology Degree would be ill advised. (CP)

Discusses the key aspects of developing special-interest, non-credit short courses directed specifically to those already employed in a particular field of engineering or engineering technology. (MLH)

Inventories the past and current national effort in programs of two to four years duration in engineering technology education, assesses the strengths and weaknesses of current educational practice in this domain, and suggests directions for future effort. Statistical data, a bibliography and an index are appended. (Author/TS)
