A recent pilot study of nearly 400 engineers in the San Francisco area, conducted for the National Science Foundation, has shown that participation in continuing education programs is a more reliable indicator of job advancement than is inherent ability and drive. (Author/BB)

Reported here are the responses of a group of chemical engineering educators to questions relating to the use of a series of undergraduate chemical engineering modules developed by the CHEMI Project. (BB)

The set-up and checking-out of a simulated chemical pilot plant as part of a chemical engineering technology lab is described. (BB)

Reports that the High School for Engineering Professions in Houston, Texas, has graduated its first class of 20 students. The high school is the first of 100 planned to help get minorities into the engineering profession. (CP)

Reviews contemporary patterns in engineering education with special emphasis on the inadequacies existing in developing countries. (SL)

Summarizes the graduate enrollment trends in pollution control engineering and related areas for the period of 1970 to 1976. (BB)

Discusses reasons and need for experimental laboratories in engineering education. (SL)

Describes the TEAMS program which provides an academic competition at the high school level in subjects qualifying students for further study in engineering. (SL)

Discusses the need to teach practical engineering particulary through close ties between industry and universities. (SL)

Promotes the use of case studies in engineering education to prepare students to exercise and develop their own talents. (SL)

Presents profiles of engineering technology students, engineering students, and university students in general. Data include English usage, math ability, science ability, class rank, years of high school math, and other information. (SL)

Reports that recent studies indicate the demand for and salaries of chemical engineers is rising and is ahead of most other engineering disciplines. (SL)

Discusses the growing need for the inclusion of engineering liability into engineering education programs. (SL)

Increasingly society holds the engineer responsible for the management and control of the physical environment. Courses in the Social Aspects of Engineering are being developed to direct students towards a concern for the societal impact of the engineer's work. These courses are recommended for the senior year of study. (MA)

There is little agreement between industry and educators concerning the roles to be played by engineering or engineering technology programs and by their respective graduates. This study found that industry accepts Bachelor of engineering technology programs as alternatives to technical careers and to the title "engineer" while educators do not.…
