Excerpts from proceedings and recommendations of conference media, systems and resources in engineering education. Conference held at Lehigh University, May 19-20, 1966. (IR)

Second year civil engineering students are given a choice of topics for specialized independent study and problem solving to develop their engineering appreciation and critical thought. (IR)

The professional image of the engineer is a challenge to engineering capabilities and ethics and not to be used as class distinction. (IR)

There is a demand for engineers to understand the manufacture of semiconductor devices and how this knowledge can be applied to systems design. (IR)

Article describes a recent experimental course entitled Introduction to Humanities, the Arts and Social Science," as part of UCLA's Engineering Development Program. (IR)

Reports results of a 1981 survey on undergraduate curricula in chemical engineering, comparing the results to those of previous surveys (1957, 1961, 1968, 1972, 1976). Results indicate that only minor changes have been made in the chemical engineering curricula since the last survey was taken. (Author/JN)

Presents an imaginary dialogue between: (1) a student in search of a research project and (2) a professor in need of a research assistant. Various issues in engineering, chemical engineering, engineering education, and engineering research are addressed during the hypothetical discussion. (Author/JN)

Describes how thermodynamics has been integrated into various chemical engineering courses at Pennsylvania State University. Also describes "Introductory Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers," a basic textbook which summarizes aspects of thermodynamics necessary to formulate, design, operate, and control chemical processes of the 1980s.…

Discusses a basic equation in thermodynamics (the fundamental property relation), focusing on a logical approach to the development of the relation where effects other than thermal, compression, and exchange of matter with the surroundings are considered. Also demonstrates erroneous treatments of the relation in three well-known textbooks. (JN)

Discusses rationale for and emphasis of Brigham Young University's four-year program leading to bachelor's of electronics engineering technology (BSET). Also discusses job market response to the program and salaries of program graduates. A preliminary survey of May 1982 graduates showed that each BSET graduate received from one to six job offers.…

Suggesting that selected research activities be integrated into engineering technology programs to give students experiences in new technology, this article discusses a project incorporating teaching, research, and service. A photograph and description of the solar experiment unit resulting from the project are provided. The unit runs on air,…

Discusses ways in which engineering technologists can achieve recognition for excellence. Areas addressed include: (1) constraints on developing high-technology engineering technology (ET), considering faculty, equipment, high school preparation, associate degree/graduate programs; (2) industry cooperation; and (3) government cooperation/actions…
