Engineering courses offered at Colorado State University can now be taken by Colorado junior college students through the use of video tape. This gives the potential transfer students a chance to take prerequisite courses not offered by their college, and similarly diminishes the college's need for additional, specially- trained faculty. (JO)

Describes how the University of Massachusetts-Lowell's assistive technology program involving engineering students benefits both the disabled and the students who design devices to help them. (EV)

Emerging technologies, declining technology teacher education programs, and the evolution of engineering into multidisciplinary areas suggest that engineering and engineering technology might serve the needs of public schools better than technology education. The concept of technology could shift from a discrete curriculum to an integral component…
