Discusses the major objections to the concept of a professional engineering school and prospects for other types of engineering programs. (MLH)

Describes the innovative chemical engineering program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute which stresses project work, individualized programs and instruction, and increased faculty involvement. (MLH)

Describes an undergraduate kinetics experiment, including advantages of this particular system, sources of error, and expected results. (MLH)

Summarizes experience with individually-paced engineering instruction and gives observations resulting from visiting many United States universities that have individualized engineering courses. (MLH)

Describes an engineering course consisting of seven two-week units and a final exam. Class periods, three per week, are devoted to lectures during the first week of the two-week unit period and to problem sessions during the second week. (MLH)

Describes a course that emphasizes methods of problem-solving rather than learning a particular programing language. (MLH)

Chemical stoichiometry is discussed free from kinetic or thermodynamic considerations. The means for determining the following are presented: the number of stoichiometric degrees of freedom, the number of components, a permissible set of chemical equations, and a permissible set of components, for a closed system undergoing chemical reaction.…

The key to shortening the time-frame for this program is a special summer course in unit operations, and the replacement of the usual nine credits of minor courses with undergraduate chemical engineering courses. (BB)

Reports enrollment figures for science and engineering baccalaureates of 1974 and 1975. Provides availability information concerning the complete National Science Foundation (NSF) study. (CP)

Concern for the future of aerospace education and technology prompted this study of manpower needs conducted by NASA and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Conclusions of the study are reported in the article. (MA)

Women engineering students differ in important respects from men engineering students as they begin their studies. These differences are presented, and their importance for engineering education is discussed. (Author)

The syllabus of a one-quarter undergraduate level course in electrochemical engineering is presented. (CP)

The syllabus for a one-semester undergraduate course in biochemical education is provided. (CP)

Addresses the interrelationships between polymer science and education and describes a series of graduate courses to instruct the topics. (CP)
