Sharp, J. J. – Engineering Education, 1975
Presents the view that formal assignments such as problem sheets to be solved at home within a given amount of time are detrimental to the development of a mature outlook in college students. Presents an alternative to this approach. (GS)

Download full textBrainard, Alan J. – 1975
The psychology of competition and winning, especially in relation to learning and motivation, is discussed. The Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) approach to coursework is proposed as a means of using the winning philosophy in education. Also suggested is the inclusion into coursework design of a form of rhetoric developed by Carl Rogers…

Combs, Robert G. – Engineering Education, 1975
Reports on some objective data and presents some subjective conclusions on the use of self-paced instruction in an experimental electrical engineering course. Outlines some of the problems involved in the development of self-paced materials and identifies several demotivating factors associated with their use. (GS)

Sharples, Kent – Engineering Education, 1977
Briefly reports on the structure and evaluation of an individually-paced, two year civil engineering technology curriculum sponsored by a National Science Foundation grant. The written modules progress linearly with support media presentations. Students in the self-paced program generally outperformed lecture-based students on cognitive…

Larson, Allen L. – 1975
The advent of microprocessor technology requires that the teaching of computer basics become a part of undergraduate digital electronics courses. This paper describes a laboratory-oriented approach to basic instruction requiring less than 10 hours student study time. The technique utilizes a programmed text and a small 4-bit computer,…
