Describes the design and management of a Feasible Ideal Instructional System (FIIS) in contrast with the present instructional system. Indicates that the FIIS is not a figment of pure imagination, but entirely practical in education. (CC)

Discusses two current issues resulting from accreditation of engineering education programs, professional or otherwise. Indicates the absence of unification in the professional movement whether under the federation of independent engineering societies of the council or under an umbrella type of organization. (CC)

Contends that ultimate control of behavior does not yet rest with individual and that learning theory may have to turn outward toward society before it can turn inward toward individual. (DS)

Contains a systems analysis of the Mankind-Education System and a block-diagram model of this system. (DD)

Discusses recent research on how light and color affect bodily functions. (Author)

Points to need for engineers with broader educational backgrounds who can join other professionals to deal with modern social and environmental problems. Adapted from address delivered to Engineering College Administrative and Research Councils at 77th Annual ASEE Conference, June 24, 1969. (WM)

Audio-tutorial instructional techniques permit the laboratory to be run on unscheduled basis, freeing students of time-constraints and affording more efficient use of laboratory equipment. (IR)

Describes a highly user-oriented conversational linear programing package for simulated laboratory experiences. The system allows easy problem entry, solution and changes, accepting free form statements of the problem and a few key words to describe each kind of input. (Author/TS)

Describes how guided design is applied to a freshman engineering course so that professional and social concerns are integrated into a problem-solving approach. (PR)

The author feels the student should be asked to creatively solve realistic problems beginning in the freshman and sophomore years. The professor becomes a coach" to help the student develop his abilities rather than teach" skills that someone else has developed. (TS)

The author believes that one of the best ways of educating the student of contemporary and future technology is to use modern devices, instruments, and techniques in an up-to-date college laboratory. Experiments which motivate and which are of interest to the student, the professor, and industry should be used extensively. (Author/TS)
