Following the Morrill Act of 1862, the Land-Grant institutions developed, keeping pace with the industrial, social and economic changes in our national life. It is the purpose of this bibliography to present sources containing information on this development, through general references and histories of the individual Land-Grant institutions. The…

This paper discusses pitfalls in condominium design and the incorpoation of related noise control problems into classroom situations. Two case studies are provided, and a list of architectural noise problems found in many condominiums is included. (CP)

This paper discusses the changing role of civil engineers in developed nations. Transportation facilities generally follow a four phase approach before construction: long range systems planning, corridor location study, design location study, and final preparation of plans. Traditional engineering education emphasized the latter two phases but now…

Based on the premise that there has been relatively little effort in coordinating the activities of engineering-related areas in the community college to those of the engineering schools, a project to improve these efforts in the State of Missouri was undertaken and is discussed in this paper. The project has generated cooperative curricula…

The focus of this summary volume reporting on several parallel studies is an application of technology to the problems of health care and the role of the university in responding to health care needs through biomedical engineering. A brief description of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is presented. A list of reports, issued by the…

A 90-minute computer-assisted instruction (CAI) unit course supplemented by a 1-hour lecture on the dynamic nature of three-dimensional rotations and Euler angles was given to 29 undergraduate engineering students. The area of Euler angles was selected because it is essential to problem-working in three-dimensional rotations of a rigid body, yet…

During the last 50 years, engineering education has reflected the strong influence of 2 trends: (1) an emphasis on unity of purpose and uniformity of standards and practices within the various branches, to provide the engineer with a basic technical knowledge that would enable him to practice in a variety of professions, and (2) a broadening of…

This collection and analysis of data on minorities in engineering emphasizes: minority engineering students by field, men; minority engineering students by field, women; minority engineering students by degree level; class standing of women and minority engineering students; high school background and standing of women and minority engineering…

This publication is the result of continuing close cooperation between two councils of the American Society for Engineering Education--the Engineering College Council (ECC) and the Engineering Research Council (ERC). Its purpose is twofold: to promote the cause of graduate study in engineering by setting forth admission requirements, faculty,…

This study reviews engineering education in Florida and investigates programs and plans for engineering technology. A questionnaire was prepared to obtain statistical data on the engineering activities at individual institutions. Deans of engineering schools responded to the questionnaires and site visits were made by consultants to each school.…

Reported are results of a survey and a forecast of the number of science doctorates in the United States by the year 1980, of 350,000. The magnitude was determined through examination of the 1968 group, estimates of death and retirement attrition, projections of emigration and immigration patterns, and projections of doctorates produced between…

This publication is designed to serve as a textbook for an introduction to engineering course. Included are sections concerned with engineering as a profession, preparation for a career in engineering, problem solving and sketching, and introduction to the design process. Exercises included typically require creative thought for their solution.…

The first part of this report presents a comparative analysis of three studies of engineering manpower projections and a forecast of the number of engineering graduates required for Ontario to 1980. The projections are based on the extrapolation of past trends, but do not take account of major structural changes in the factors affecting the demand…

This document contains the responses of the Committee of Ontario Deans of Engineering, the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies, and the Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of Ontario to "Ring of Iron: A Study of Engineering Education in Ontario." The study, prepared by the Council of Ontario Universities, was to cover…

A 1970 workshop that brought together academic and industrial engineers, sociologists, educators, and other behavioral scientists made some recommendations to universities, government, and industrial and professional societies concerning three major postulates. The postulates are that: (1) "public enlightenment on technology and how it interacts…
