Describes various data and discussions included in this report on chemical and chemical engineering higher education, including special chemistry programs, program certification requirements, and the M.S. degree in these fields. Includes a table of the number of degrees granted in these fields at 529 institutions. (MLH)

Describes the use in chemical engineering education of FLOWTRAN, a large steady-state simulator of chemical processes with extensive facilities for physical and thermodynamic data-handling and a large library of equipment modules, including cost estimation capability. (MLH)

Describes the use of videotape equipment in taping student oral reports to aid the student in acquiring better speech skills. (MLH)

Describes examples of various interactions between industry and universities, including industry-sponsored research in university laboratories, university consulting groups that aid industry, and sabbatical leaves for university faculty in industry. (MLH)

Describes a curriculum project aimed at developing a two-year, non-traditional engineering technology program employing the latest instructional materials. Provides a list of descriptive course titles for the program. (MLH)

Reports on a technical writing course which is conducted in conjunction with the senior-level unit operations course required of chemical engineering students. (BB)

Explains the objectives and the offerings of two honors courses in engineering physics and physics and education at Loughborough University of Technology. (GA)

Describes the various programs offered by the Department of Freshman Engineering in order to accommodate the wide range of students' backgrounds and to meet their special needs. (GA)

Describes a physics course about acoustics as applied to the practice and experience of music. The course has no prerequisites and is being offered to students with diverse backgrounds, such as music, engineering, business administration, and physics majors. (Author/GA)

Describes the requirements of a course entitled "Technical Reporting," offered for seniors in the Civil Engineering Department, and covers a variety of techniques in report writing and editing. (GA)

Much of the creative thought of the designers of our technology is nonverbal; since the Renaissance, it has relied on objects and drawings, not descriptions. Because nonverbal thought is closer to art than science, there is a risk that it will be ignored in engineering education. (Author/SJL)

Describes the basic concept of university-based innovation centers, which are sponsored by the NSF, to involve the students in the process of innovation and entrepreneurship. Gives numerous examples of success where the final outcome has been a new product or even a new company. (GA)

Describes the genesis, development, implementation, and evaluation of a graduate level kinetics course based on selected influential papers in chemical reaction engineering. (BB)

This study sponsored by the National Science Foundation yielded data showing positive correlation between continuing education and rates of pay for a sample population of engineers. (RE)

Calculations and diagrams are given for determining parameters useful for the operation of screw pumps. (BB)
