This report forms an integral part of a study conducted by the Committee on the Education and Utilization of the Engineer, under the auspices of the National Research Council. Five major tasks undertaken by the panel were: (1) defining engineering; (2) determining influences on the engineering community, including external influences and internal…

To assist the more than 9,000 engineering students at Texas A&M University, the staff of the Microtext Department, Sterling C. Evans Library, prepared these handouts listing the library's holdings of industry standards and their locations. Current industry standards are offered on 16mm film on cartridge through the VSMF (Visual Search Materials…

This document describes some of the experience gained from an evaluation of Du-It, an experimental Industrial Technology Branch program affiliated with the Production and Maintenance Engineering Line (Du-It) of upper secondary school being conducted at Trollhattan, Vasteras, Karlskrona, Harnosand, and Goteborg upper secondary schools. As with…

This study investigated the effects of corporate financial support on the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) curriculum. The study evolved out of growing concerns that many university educators have related to the mushrooming of university efforts to secure corporate financial support…

This report provides projections of the employment of scientists, engineers, technicians, and other occupations for the civilian nuclear industry through the year 2000. Low, medium, and high projections are provided. In all cases, a substantial number of job openings are anticipated to fill needs created by employment growth, retirement, death,…

A course relating to energy and the environment and aimed specifically at engineering students is outlined. Course objectives, format, and content are specified; required problem sets, papers, and exams are briefly discussed. (DT)

Describes the structure and content of the laboratory course sequence of the Engineering College of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The multidisciplinary laboratory sequence is a core requisite take n in the junior year, and instructs students in experimental methodology, including measurement and instrumentation theory. (JR)

Discusses the objectives and value of the National Engineering Aptitude Search (NEAS) test by presenting survey results on the test impact on high school students' career decision. Concludes tnat a wider participation in the NEAS program would lead to improvement of its effectiveness in attracting qualified students to engineering. (CC)

Urges that more applied science and technology be included in college science curricula. Reviews courses which are working toward this end, such as an engineering course which requires the student to spend a week in an industrial environment and to produce a report on his visit. (MLH)

The article discusses the Welding Engineering Technology program in Canada at Calgary's Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and how an entire graduating class of 22 were hired en masse. These graduates filled the void with specialized and diversified knowledge of welding materials, equipment, and practices combined with an engineering…

Views the teaching of materials as content oriented, while teaching design is process oriented. Advocates the integration of design teaching with materials teaching through design problems in which the materials component plays a large part. (GS)

Presents a directory of engineering colleges with information concerning the number of faculty employed, graduate degree requirements, number of extension centers for graduate study, research areas of accepted doctoral theses, personnel engaged in and expenditures for research, and separately funded and managed laboratories. (GS)

Reports on four broad categories of employment: engineering; sciences, math and other technical; business; and other nontechnical. Only increases over 1974 by type of employer were in state and local governments and in non-profit and educational institutions (excluding teaching). (GS)
