This report is the result of a study, funded by the National Science Foundation, of a group constituted as the COSINE Task Force on Undergraduate Education in Computer Engineering in 1969. The group was formed in response to the growing demand for education in computer engineering and the limited opportunities for study in this area. Computer…

The report attempts to assess the broader implications of geology within the framework, and in the development, of society; to review existing undergraduate programs in geology and earth science teacher-training; to analyze the consequent demand and supply for geologists and other earth scientists; and to consider the varying effects and…

This guide is based on a study of how to improve population programs in universities. Staff from 25 universities contributed questions and answers that serve as much of the content of the guide. The guide is intended to sharpen the map of the world of population program building in universities. The guide identifies 23 features of programs that…

Applies the narrow-band model to the instruction of intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors along with the phenomenon of compensation. Advocates the model for undergraduate instruction due to its intuitive appeal and mathematical simplicity. (CP)

Describes the electronic circuitry which can be used to demonstrate the buildups of Poisson distributions with very high precision. Analysis of the data obtained is included in the paper. (CP)

An evaluation of the student-centered learning program at Great Britain's Open University is presented. (HB)

Provides the outline, descriptions of a number of demonstrations, and an indication of student response to a junior-senior level course in lasers and their applications. (CP)

This symposium focused on the question: can colleges afford to continue offering high quality laboratory instruction at the undergraduate level. (Author/BB)

Described is an undergraduate course concerned with ethics and politics. Focus is on the author's attempt to improve the course with a different approach involving examination of the use of violence through lectures, tutorials, films, and simulations. Student assignments and requirements are also described. (JMD)

The issue of what is a proper balance between research and teaching in a large university is a perennial one and it appears that the pendulum is swinging in the direction of those who would like to see more emphasis on undergraduate instruction. (Author/RK)

Looks at the goals, content and classroom procedures for making an undergraduate course in rhetoric relevant within a recently restructured collegiate environment. (MH)

Descriptions of undergraduate physics programs are given: physics with geophysics physics with solid state electronics, physics with medical physics, and honors physics. (MDR)

A discussion of the course work in and the various major options of the undergraduate physics program at the University of Warwick is given. (MDR)

A 60 item cross-referenced, selective bibliography on flexible general chemistry laboratory programs is presented. (CP)

Reports results of a survey in university schools of nursing to learn faculty opinion about the integrated baccalaureate nursing curriculum and its effects on graduate education. Many faculty perceived difficulties in general rather than in clinical specialty undergraduate study, but others saw the integrated curriculum as forcing needed changes.…
