Describes one method of organizing an engineering library to optimize the available space and allow easy location of materials. (MLH)

Discusses the problems of determining standards for certification in various professions and the difficulties of providing statistical studies to support the necessity of the standards. (MLH)

Discusses some impacts of the recent increase in female engineering graduates. (MLH)

Discusses the use of engineering case studies to prepare students to define and solve the open-ended problems characteristic of engineering practice. (MLH)

Discusses a study in which engineering students ranked the value of behavioral objectives for their course differently than the instructor for the first unit of instruction; for the following unit, there was no significant difference between the students' and instructor's rankings. (MLH)

The aim of the Student Apprenticeship Scheme described here is to produce trained engineers primarily for positions at collieries (coal mines). This involves not only practical and theoretical training in the various disciplines but also management training to enable the engineer to control manpower and to understand the planning and organization…

The seven base units of SI are described, characteristics of SI are reviewed, and some problems with the system are identified. (DT)

Describes a sophisticated computer technique that analyzes subject matter to determine what prerequisite knowledge is needed. Presents illustrations of flow charts that can be constructed for a particular subject, showing the organization of curriculum modules. (MLH)

Describes a laboratory teaching method that utilizes open-ended investigations that are meaningful and relevant, yet do not demand excessive amounts of the student's time. (MLH)

The purpose of this paper is to suggest that without the recognition of a specific set of social and professional responsibilities to the black community, traditional engineering education shall continue to be viewed with suspicion and distrust by minority group members. (Author/AM)

Describes the changes in Danish engineering education, institutions offering engineering education, types of engineering degrees, and the professional engineering society in Denmark. (Author/MKR)

Responses from 166 of 212 international institutions offering degrees in engineering and technology management show the number of programs has nearly doubled since 1975; 56% are in engineering schools; 33 programs are joint engineering/business programs; two-thirds of faculty have engineering backgrounds; collectively, degree offerings include 38…

Engineering student teams from Worcester Polytechnic Institute complete projects proposed by Norton Company and are advised by faculty and employees. Unlike cooperative education, the projects satisfy degree requirements, and students are not paid by the company. (SK)

Discusses the importance of mathematical geometric education for engineers. Describes geometry as the basic platform to get involved with the creation of models in the forms of images which can offer an unprecedented basis for logical reasoning supported by practical applications. (Author/YDS)

Identifies enhancing the judgments of cadets through education at a military institution like the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) as a crucial pedagogical issue facing instructors of History of Science and Technology (HST). Discusses the experience of helping cadets to meet such challenges in learning HST in the context of professional…
