Argues that criticism of science and technology for their detrimental effects on human life and society are misdirected, and that the real culprit is the engineer. (EB)

This is a study of the relationship between specific college environments and student personalities. (Editor)

After 34 years in academic life, the author changed careers and is currently employed by a major corporation. Personal comments on differences between academic and corporate life are provided, including the nature of work planning between the two environments. (JN)

Reports results of annual National Society of Professional Engineers survey of engineering salaries, including median incomes by registration status, job function, branch of engineering, engineering grade, industry/service of employer, length of experience, and level of education. (JN)

Discusses two reference states (pure chemical compounds and pure elements at specified condition of temperature and pressure) and the relation between these reference states for internal energy and enthalpy. Problem 5.11 from Modell and Reid's "Thermodynamics and its Applications" (p. 141) is used to apply the ideas discussed. (JN)

A previously developed program for the HP-41C programmable calculator is extended to handle models of differential and difference equations with multiple eigenvalues. How to obtain difference equation solutions via the Z transform is described. (MNS)
