This second draft of a manuscript for a high school engineering and technology course uses case studies as its format. The principles associated with various engineering problems are presented along with their effects on daily life. Topics include the computer, the automotive power system, satellite communications, the petroleum industry, water…

Described is the College of Engineering educational program at the University of Detroit which emphasizes interaction between students, faculty, and industry. The undergraduate pre-professional and professional programs as well as the three-phase doctor of engineering program which includes an internship are outlined. (SL)

A technique is described for the generation of perspective views of three-dimensional models using computer graphics. The technique is applied to models of familiar thermodynamic phase diagrams and the results are presented for the ideal gas and van der Waals equations of state as well as the properties of liquid water and steam from the Steam…

This book, written for engineering students and young practicing engineers, provides a systematic approach to the design of technical communication: the communication process, audience analysis, and the design and writing of technical reports. Focus is on the questions that a writer must answer in order to compose clear and effective reports: who…

This survey presents tabulated data of the responses of 50,000 Indiana high school seniors to a questionnaire designed to determine the characteristics and plans of those intending to become engineers after graduation. Characteristic highlights include the following: Engineering aspirants were 92% male; 65% were in college preparatory courses; 22%…

Provides statistics on the 1975 enrollments for various engineering branches and for women and minorities in engineering. (MLH)

Describes a set of audio-tutorial modules, consisting of slides and a synchronized audio tape cassette, designed to teach the principles of electric circuit analysis. (MLH)

Describes a chemical engineering laboratory course based on the modelling and computer simulation of dynamic experimental conditions. (MLH)

Describes how the principles of reactor analysis can be used to study human circulation. (MLH)

Describes a study that applies Jung's theory of psychological types to information gathered from students entering engineering and other professions. (MLH)

Describes a six-week summer program in which a group of inner-city, high school graduates participated in activities designed to promote logical thinking. Four Piagetian tasks were used as pre- and post-tests and showed that the course promoted significant improvements in logical thought. (MLH)

Describes a diagnostic mathematics test used to indicate the mathematical weaknesses of engineering students. (MLH)

Discusses the advantages of using color slides and accompanying objective questions to evaluate engineering laboratory students. (MLH)

Proposes a grading system that combines traditional, absolute grading with a relative, percentile rank. (MLH)

Several teaching aids including a microcomputer system, a process control laboratory, a mechanics laboratory, and a teaching polariscope are described. (RH)
