Surveys the current status of environmental engineering education at the undergraduate level in Korea. Proposes guidelines for modifying and strengthening the curricula, along with recommendations for improving the environmental engineering educational system in Korea and other countries. (TW)

Presents some perceived shortcomings of doctoral programs in chemistry in light of the recent emphasis on the undergraduate and precollege student. Cites some data that indicates that 10 percent of the doctoral students asked felt that the goals of their doctoral programs had never been explicitly set forth. (TW)

Describes a one-semester course designed to examine the relationship between science and technology in Western civilization during the period between the earliest organized social life and the inception of the Industrial Revolution. Includes a list of readings, schedule of topics and assignments, and student requirements. (TW)

Describes a one-semester course designed to examine the relationship between science and technology in Western civilization during the 19th and 20th centuries. Includes a list of required readings, the schedule of topics and assignments, and a description of the student requirements. (TW)

Explores the central thesis of cognitive science that the mind is an information processor. Discusses the study of reading as an opportunity to gain insight into how that processor works. Provides several examples that illustrate some of the relationships between eye movement, short-term memory, and long-term memory. (TW)

Discusses the use of a computer program designed to solve the mathematical model associated with soil nutrient uptake by plant roots and to predict the nutrient uptake. Describes a user-friendly personal computer version of this program. (TW)

Describes an off-campus program leading to a Master's Degree in Agriculture from Iowa State University. Discusses the program's objectives, the degree requirements, delivery system, program history, composition of participants, faculty involvement, and problems encountered. (TW)

Describes a specially designed preparatory course in science and mathematics for relatively "unprepared" adult students in Israel. Compares the achievements of these students with the achievements of those identified as "prepared" according to their formal education and qualifications. (TW)

Describes direct and indirect voltage input techniques and their applications to voltage measurements with a microcomputer. Details circuitry that can be used for this with a gameport. Gives examples of circuit modifications, application of voltage measurement, and alternatives to this method. (CW)

Describes how to psychologically evaluate and take advantage of the four basic personality types that are encountered in job interviews. Discusses each personality type and makes generalizations about their dress, office, thinking patterns, and preferences. Summarizes how each might react to a woman in an interview situation. (CW)

Reports the results of a 1986 survey of physiology department chairmen in light of the criticisms and recommendations made in "Physicians for the Twenty-First Century: The GPEP Report." Shows that no substantive changes have occurred in the last two years in medical physiology courses at most medical schools surveyed. (CW)

Presents the results of statistical analyses and interpretations of data obtained from students in two engineering fundamentals courses on an attitudinal survey. Indicates positive and significant improvement in student attitudes toward their own drawing abilities and the importance of drawing in their lives and careers. (CW)

Describes five computer software packages; four for MS-DOS Systems and one for Apple II. Included are SPEC20, an interactive simulation of a Bausch and Lomb Spectronic-20; a database for laboratory chemicals and programs for visualizing Boltzmann-like distributions, orbital plot for the hydrogen atom and molecular orbital theory. (CW)

Describes two chemistry demonstrations including a demonstration of chemical inhibition and "The Rayleigh Fountain" which demonstrates the polarity of the water molecule. Provides instructions and explanations for each demonstration. (CW)

Presents a view of future engineering education as perceived by the Technion faculty group on the basis of their own analysis and the insights gathered from workshop discussions. Contrasts basic and specialized education. Reviews the technologies and skills of the future engineer. Gives an overview of curriculum requirements. (CW)
