Developed as part of a series of materials in the electrical engineering sequence developed under contract with the United States Office of Education, this laboratory manual provides nine laboratory projects suitable for a second course in electrical engineering. Dealing with resonant circuits, electrostatic fields, magnetic devices, and…

Reported are speeches presented at a Summer Engineering Symposium which deals with the general theme "Man in Contemporary Society." A historical perspective of engineering leading to its future role in society was established. From this base other papers applied engineering concepts to socioeconomic systems, educational systems, simulation in…

Outlined is an undergraduate electrical engineering course on computer organization designed to meet the need for electrical engineers familiar with digital system design. The program includes both hardware and software aspects of digital systems essential to design function and correlates design and organizational aspects of the subject. The…

Reported are specifications for a computer-oriented first course in electrical engineering giving new direction to the development of texts and alternative courses of study. Guidelines for choice of topics, a statement of fundamental concepts, pitfalls to avoid, and some sample course outlines are given. The study of circuits through computer…

A computer program for numeric and symbolic manipulation and the methodology underlying its development are presented. Some features of the program are: an option for implied multiplication; computation of higher-order derivatives; differentiation of 26 different trigonometric, hyperbolic, inverse trigonometric, and inverse hyperbolic functions;…

After a discussion of experiential learning as an element in higher education and of the program evaluation process used in this study, six different but successful experiential learning programs in engineering are described and compared. From these comparisons some conclusions are drawn about important program elements. The six programs described…

This document describes an introduction course in the fundamentals of chemistry for marine engineers. The course is modularized, audio tutorial allowing the student to progress at his own rate while integrating laboratory and lecture materials. (SL)

A description is given of the history and current status of graduate level engineering courses and degrees at Ohio locations not readily accessible to existing private or public institutions. Recent demands for additional off-campus programs are due in part to the need of established engineers to study new areas at the advanced level. Ohio…

A three-year, in-house engineering course offered to selected General Electric Company engineers is discussed. It is designed to develop the ability to identify and solve real engineering problems. The course may be taken concurrently with college courses in a cooperative program that can result in a graduate degree in engineering. (MLH)

Engineering education in the countries of India and Singapore is described. The post-secondary engineering program in India is offered at 132 institutions. Admission procedures are explained, as is the curriculum for students interested in production engineering. Descriptions and photographs of some final year projects are provided. In addition,…

A review of the grading practices of various departments in the Western Australian Institute of Technology is the topic of this paper. The study was initiated in 1969, when an examination of scores given by various departments revealed a large year-to-year fluctuation. It was noted that some departments consistently graded higher than others. A…

A program designed to increase studnet interest and provide motivation in a third-year systems and measurements laboratory in mechanical engineering is provided. The philosophy of the course, instructional techniques, equipment design (including schematics and photographs), suggested activities, and student reactions to the course are presented.…

Effective ways to teach the science of acoustics to non-engineering students are presented and discussed. Topics include the physics of sound, sound wave phenomena, and noise control. (MLH)

This work contains 21 computer programs intended for use in a chemical engineering education format. The programs represent appropriate homework exercises for undergraduate students. The intended academic level is listed for each example. Although the activities deal with specific problems, the computer programs represent the areas of kinetics,…

A computer program for the simulation of complex continuous process in real-time in an interactive mode is described. The program is user oriented, flexible, and provides both numerical and graphic output. The program has been used in classroom teaching and computer aided design. Typical input and output are illustrated for a sample problem to…
