This article is the report of the ad hoc American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) committee for the review of engineering and engineering technology studies. In the report, the committee examines engineering education and makes recommendations on several topics including accreditation, teaching methods, faculty development, continuing…

Examines continuing education with respect to its importance, relationship to degree programs, financing, teaching opportunities, and compensation possibilities. The surveyed institutions recognize continuing education as an important and significant faculty activity and also suggest the need to further explore the financial and compensatory…

Attempts to identify the positions available to Bachelor of Engineering Technology (B.E.T.) graduates. A survey of B.E.T. graduates showed that they are being employed in responsible positions by industry and that most are receiving job assignments comparable to those given engineering graduates. Surveys by other institutions are suggested. (MA)

Summarizes curriculum guidelines for the following engineering technologies: chemical, industrial, mining, petroleum, nuclear, civil, mechanical, electrical, automotive, and manufacturing. In a few years, these Engineering Council for Professional Development committee guidelines are intended to become the criteria by which programs will be judged…

Describes a computer graphics program for teaching engineering students basic principles of multiview projections with two preprocessors to simplify student involvement with computer languages. (SL)

Describes an introductory computer module required for all freshmen engineering students at Vanderbilt University. Computer graphics are used to increase student interest and sense of accomplishment. (SL)

Describes a portable laboratory package in electronic engineering used to bring laboratory experimentation to extension and off-campus courses. (SL)

Discusses the need to develop graphics courses for engineering programs. (SL)

Describes the goals which the faculty at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts, set for its new program (particularly for engineering education) and the new teaching and implementation strategies developed to attain those goals, and then examines the tentative results. (Author/RK)

Describes an interdisciplinary chemistry course at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in which at least one quarter of the time is devoted to materials science. Includes information on course content, laboratory work, and assessment of student performance on chemistry and materials science topics. (JN)

The National Technological University, a consortium of engineering schools, offers programs based on satellite transmissions of live and videotaped graduate courses to industrial sites around the country. (MSE)

Reports on the number of chemists and chemical engineers that graduated from American Chemical Society approved college programs by degree, and institution in the 1986-87 school year. Summarizes data from approved schools from 1983-87. Lists the schools that had the most chemistry graduates by degree and institution. (CW)

Introduced is a course to teach integrated product development and to help make the shift from university to real practice. Discusses the course "Teaching Creative Machine Design," practical course guides, two examples of projects, and some consequences of the course. (YP)

Describes some recent initiatives and developments in the computer-aided design program in the engineering faculty of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). Provides a survey of the engineering curriculum, the computer facilities, and the main software packages available. (TW)

Confronts the problems of defining the European Engineer in terms of educational and practical training. Analyzes the supply and demand requirements of engineering management and practice. Compares these analyses with conditions in the United States. Gives details of the educational process in a number of European countries. (CW)
