Describes a preliminary definition of engineering method as well as a definition and examples of engineering heuristics. After discussing some alternative definitions of the engineering method, a simplified definition of the engineering method is suggested. (YP)

Proposes new approaches to engineering education. Adaptability is central to the idea of developing flexible adults able to cope with a changing world. Stresses the need to educate students for a continuous, life-long education. This is seen as the role of the university. (MA)

In this article, some of the essential factors to a good technical program are identified. Seen as three major factors are: (1) teaching students to define problems; (2) teaching students that most engineering problems have more than one solution and contain trade-offs; (3) instilling a desire for continuous education.

Advances four propositions in an effort to provide a frame of reference for a new generation of interactive engineering graphics scholars. Suggests the integration of traditional engineering graphics with new production tools such as computer-aided design drafting. Proposes that graphics problem-solving educational opportunities be maximized. (CW)
