This Sloan Foundation report for 1976 discusses foundation activities in the three facets of the General Program--(1) Education for the Public Service, (2) Economics and Management, and (3) Science and Technology--as well as in three Particular Programs--(1) Minority Engineering Education, (2) Technology in Education, and (3) Neuroscience. The…

This document presents the final report of a project to evaluate the effectiveness of using videotape television to present graduate level engineering courses to on-campus and off-campus students. Included are the statistical analyses, review of three experiments with on-campus classes, and results of an attitudinal interview with off-campus…

Until recently, U.S. engineering education and American industry drew candidates from only about 43 percent of the potential market--white males. Many segments of American business, education, and government have been involved in a process to increase minority participation in engineering; the 1974 freshmen engineering enrollment for women…

The generation of the electrocardiogram from a bioengineering standpoint is described, and this information is used to discuss its application to clinical instruction on electrocardiography. (MLH)

The approach to continuing education at the Shell Oil Company is discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods of instruction and different formats for continuing education are described. The impact of continuing education is assessed in relation to the following: hiring policies, career development, staff upgrading, promotional…

The guidelines used in the accreditation of industrial engineering programs are discussed. Changes that have taken place in engineering curriculum are described, along with the philosophy of educators in formulating industrial engineering program requirements in the areas of faculty, facilities, curriculum, administration, and scholastic work.…

In the Engineering Case Program conducted by the Projects Board of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), the ideal educational program is supported by: (1) content, science, and lore; lectures and programs; (2) observations of practice; case histories, plant tours; and (3) doing jobs; projects. This tripod model of engineering…

An analog/hybrid simulation of a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) and an incremental analog-to-digital (A-D) converter are presented. An analog simulation of planar frames is also presented. (MLH)

This bulletin presents the highlights of an evaluation of today's engineering graduates as seen by the managers of engineering, manufacturing and technical marketing in a major electrical equipment manufacturing company. Today's engineer is seen as far more productive than his predecessor. The computer has greatly expanded his productive capacity.…

A program to develop the use of time-sharing remote computer terminals in academic and laboratory courses was instituted in the engineering department at the United States Naval Academy. The first step in the program was the orientation and familiarization of faculty members with time-sharing concepts and the BASIC computer language. Computer…

There are three kinds of master's degrees in the natural sciences: (1) the booby prize, for students who during their graduate career are disqualified for academic reasons from continuing to the Ph.D.; (2) the automatic degree with no thesis requirement and generally awarded after accumulating a certain number of credits; and (3) the degree that…

This report covers the second annual conference at which educators and members of the industrial world met to discuss needs, programs, new developments, and other matters on which continuing engineering studies (CES) should be based. The first address describes problems that often beset professionals in continuing education and suggests the…

The purpose of this conference was to provide an opportunity for discussion between educators and representatives of the industrial world on the needs, programs, new developments, and other matters on which continuing engineering studies (CES) should be based. The first 2 papers examine the role of the engineer in a rapidly changing technological…

The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is defined as a uniform system for measuring and recognizing individual participation in informal learning situations. The CEU may be easily applied to all formats of post secondary education which have a legitimate sponsor and a responsible and knowledgeable person as instructor. Education on a continuing basis…
