Engineering faculty and students must have more exposure to business and industry considerations. (IR)

Describes a new course in engineering science for pre-university students in England and Wales. The course outline, laboratory work, and evaluation procedures are discussed. The new course has been accepted by British universities as an entry qualification for degree courses in engineering and physics. (LC)

Describes a method for specifying precise course objectives for undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum, and suggests treating curriculum design as a system engineering problem. (Author/WM)

Suggests immediate reorganization of professional schools to meet social demands for more intensive educational training. Points out need for changes such as admitting more black students into graduate schools, making it possible for women to do the same professional work as men, providing interdisciplinary training, and forging stronger links…

Systems engineering includes the inception, analysis, design, construction and test of a complex system, and could well be employed in the solution of major national problems. (Author/IR)

Undergraduate engineering students should become intimately involved in three principal dimensions of engineering: analysis, synthesis and experimentation. (Editor)

The author asserts that most of the failures associated with technological progress are due to poor systems engineering, not to poor device engineering. (Editor)

Describes a 10-week survey course in catalysis for chemical engineering and chemistry students designed to show how modern chemistry and chemical engineering interact in the ongoing development of industrial catalysts. Includes course outline and instructional strategies. (Author/JN)

An oilwell drilling rig accidentally drilled into an underground salt mine, draining a lake and filling the mine, with water jetting out of the mine 400 feet into the air. An explanation of the jetting phenomenon is offered in terms of the laws of fluid dynamics, with supporting diagrams and calculations. (Author/JN)

Describes phenomena that can be effectively illustrated using microcomputers, techniques used to create these illustrations, and techniques used for displaying them in regular classrooms and over an instructional television network. Also describes microcomputer features required to apply the techniques, providing comments on the suitability of…

Interactive Simulation Language (ISL) is a highly interactive and graphics-oriented language. ISL use in senior design course and introductory system modeling/system behavior course is discussed (including instructional strategies, self-administered instruction, and problem assignment). A description of ISL (including block library and main menu)…
