Presents a listing of industrial members of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Listings include industry name, address, and representatives. (SL)

Provides some perspectives on the explosive growth in microscience to show some of the interrelations among science, engineering, and technology. (HM)

Describes the source of hexamethylenediamine (HMDA). The process of the original synthesis HMDA for nylon manufacture which started with adipic acid and the estimated production cost for alternative HMDA processes are included. (HM)

Describes the activities of the National Submicron Facility which was established at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York to serve as an information resource for the nation's research community in microstructure science and engineering. (HM)

Attempts to identify the positions available to Bachelor of Engineering Technology (B.E.T.) graduates. A survey of B.E.T. graduates showed that they are being employed in responsible positions by industry and that most are receiving job assignments comparable to those given engineering graduates. Surveys by other institutions are suggested. (MA)

Summarizes curriculum guidelines for the following engineering technologies: chemical, industrial, mining, petroleum, nuclear, civil, mechanical, electrical, automotive, and manufacturing. In a few years, these Engineering Council for Professional Development committee guidelines are intended to become the criteria by which programs will be judged…

The lack of consistency and uniformity throughout California concerning program and course objectives, titles and content, prompted the study reported in this article. Community colleges statewide were included in the study. Curricular characteristics of engineering technology and industrial technology programs were recommended and definitions…

Describes the educational programs at the Institute Technologico de Costa Rica. The engineering technology curriculum is based on the results of a nationwide study to identify critical areas of industrial need. The programs are designed for six semesters with scheduled work experiences within the school year. (MA)

Bachelor of engineering technology (B.E.T.) programs were created in response to the need for graduates who are ready for productive industrial jobs, not for graduate school. It is suggested that there should be communication between the engineering technology and the traditional engineering faculties to provide strong educational programs. (MA)

Discusses an industrial advisory committee as a means for continuing frequent and relevant interaction between engineering technology faculty and the industrial community. Organizational details are described. (CS)

Discusses the problem of the shortage of engineers capable of designing advanced integrated circuits (IC) and presents some suggestions for increasing the number of IC designers in universities and semiconductor companies. (HM)

Presents a rationale for the teaching of materials in engineering degree courses. Reviews the requirements established by various professional engineering bodies in the United Kingdom for accredited engineering degree courses. Discusses the aims of the course as well as instructional concerns. (ML)

Offers perspectives on the future of chemical engineering. Addresses concerns related to changes in the engineering industry, the role of chemical engineers, and changes in the education of engineers. Includes recommendations for curricular change. (ML)

This research news article on microelectronics discusses the scientific challenge the integrated circuit industry will have in the next decade, for designing the complicated microcircuits made possible by advancing miniaturization technology. (HM)
