Practicing engineers find that much technical writing is done in small groups. A course is described which gives students such group technical writing experience. (BB)

Outlines procedures to help motivate engineering students to publish articles in professional journals. (FL)

The University of Maryland hired engineering students to work in its physical plant department. This broadened campus involvement in energy management to include student and faculty groups; utilized workers familiar with campus buildings and their uses; and saved the cost of hiring a professional consultant or expanding staff.

Practical experience has shown that computer aided design programs can provide an invaluable aid in the learning process when integrated into the syllabus in lecture and laboratory periods. This should be a major area of future development of computer assisted learning in engineering education. (Author/CMV)

Describes computer assisted learning (CAL) packages written in FORTRAN IV and developed for use in a degree course in civil engineering dealing with hydraulics and structures. All are used in the interactive mode through a terminal with a keyboard and visual display unit. (Author/CMV)

One hundred seventy-eight papers are abstracted which were submitted to the Paper Distribution Center by speakers at the annual conference of the American Society for Engineering Education. The abstracts are arranged under headings which correspond to sponsers listed in the program. (Author/SA)

Several general aspects are discussed. These include the role of mathematics in scientific and technical progress, some deficiencies in training, the role of mathematics in engineering faculties, and methods of improving mathematical training. (MP)

Presented is a look at the collective bargaining unit of the University of Rhode Island faculty. Salary increases are assured, faculty and administration are polarized, and tenure and promotion seem unaffected. Support from engineers remains divided. (Author/BB)

A brief history is presented of the American Society for Engineering Education's Creative Engineering Design Displays along with some commentary from a student designer and a judge. (BB)

The Stevens Technical Enrichment Program (STEP) is described. STEP offers a pre-engineering component, an undergraduate program, and special projects. (BB)

Problems concerning the lecture method are deliniated and suggestions are made to increase learning efficiency. (BB)

Presented is a report on the cost-effectiveness of an engineering economy course which is being taught by the personalized system of instruction method at the Montana State University. (BB)

Some approaches at the University of Notre Dame are discussed for accommodating career changes between engineering fields and from mathematics and science to engineering careers. (Author/BB)

To improve mathematics skills of freshmen, the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has instituted a mathematics placement test and a summer algebra and trigonometry review program. (BB)

Discusses the problem of forecasting engineering enrollments and methods of dealing with enrollments that are too high for the job market to absorb. (MLH)
