Describes the processes involved in obtaining funds for projects from the Projects Office of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Discusses the policy of the ASEE to projects in development and the types of projects which have been funded. (TS)

Reviews differences in students rejected and accepted to an engineering school in Israel. (HS)

Brigham Young University devised a "dual-track system to provide highly practical training in both engineering and technology for students with different capabilities. The training tracks lead to different careers. (WM)

Three methods of studying motion are described. A wind tunnel is utilized in demonstrating flutter. Computer graphics with an oscilloscope are used to investigate the natural modes of vibration and to track the simulated motion of missiles. (TS)

The expansion of the Rensselear Polytechnic Institute's cooperative program is described. Recruiting and selection of students for the program which leads to the Master's degree, and relations with faculty also are included. (TS)

Describes a course to give to non-engineering students at least a qualitative physical explanation of some examples of fluid flow situations observed and encountered in our daily lives. (Author/TS)

Describes attempts in Britain to unite physics and technical studies in the new GCE A level engineering students (college bound). (Advocates more interdisciplinary efforts and greater use of mathematics.) (TS)

A training program for new faculty at The Pennsylvania State University consists of week-long seminars held just before and just after the fall semester. Student opinion and rating of instruction is also used. (TS)
