This work presents a proposal for Teaching/Learning, on Object Oriented Programming for Entry Level Courses of Engineering and Computer Science, on University. The philosophy of Object Oriented Programming comes as a new pattern of solution for problems, where flexibility and reusability appears over the simple data structure and sequential…

This bibliography was designed specifically for faculty members or administrators involved in science, mathematics, engineering, and/or technology (SMET) interested in teaching and learning issues. Specifically, it addresses research, theory and/or practice in small groups, and cooperative instruction focusing on SMET disciplines in higher…

Developments in the area of human engineering, scientific developments which affect human life when incorporated into the technology of society, require an attempt to cross conventional discipline boundaries in education. A justification for this attempt and several programs that met this need are described. (Author/KM)

Discusses self-paced learning techniques for teaching a senior elective course in compressible flow, involving informing the course objectives, the material to be covered, the minimum achievement standards, and the grading system. Included are tables of cumulative test averages and a chart illustrating the approach to self-paced study. (CC)

Discusses the characteristics, especially the commonalities, of four innovative educational methods: audio-tutorial systems, guided design, programed instruction, and the Keller method. Indicates that content materials still play the major role in student learning at present. (CC)

Describes the organization and the benefit of using the team-teaching approach in a technical writing course for chemical engineering students. (RL)

An approach to the teaching of steady-state recycle calculations is presented. Included are the solutions to two sample problems. (BB)

The Stanford School of Engineering Communications Project is described. One professional composition expert teaches engineering students with strong writing abilities to instruct other students in writing. (BB)

A program is described which integrates technical writing into the introduction to a chemical engineering course at the University of Texas. The students write seven essays on engineering topics. The essays are graded by teaching assistants from the English department. (BB)

When engineering teachers assign a paper or report, they can help students by providing at the time of the assignment an acceptable format for the report. (Author/BB)

A report on innovations in the teaching of engineering at West Virginia University and the effects these have had on student performance is presented. (BB)

Recent studies on how students solve problems are summarized and suggestions are made of how engineering teachers can apply this information. (BB)
