Discusses the need to teach practical engineering particulary through close ties between industry and universities. (SL)

Promotes the use of case studies in engineering education to prepare students to exercise and develop their own talents. (SL)

Presents profiles of engineering technology students, engineering students, and university students in general. Data include English usage, math ability, science ability, class rank, years of high school math, and other information. (SL)

Reports that recent studies indicate the demand for and salaries of chemical engineers is rising and is ahead of most other engineering disciplines. (SL)

Discusses the growing need for the inclusion of engineering liability into engineering education programs. (SL)

Increasingly society holds the engineer responsible for the management and control of the physical environment. Courses in the Social Aspects of Engineering are being developed to direct students towards a concern for the societal impact of the engineer's work. These courses are recommended for the senior year of study. (MA)

There is little agreement between industry and educators concerning the roles to be played by engineering or engineering technology programs and by their respective graduates. This study found that industry accepts Bachelor of engineering technology programs as alternatives to technical careers and to the title "engineer" while educators do not.…

This article is the report of the ad hoc American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) committee for the review of engineering and engineering technology studies. In the report, the committee examines engineering education and makes recommendations on several topics including accreditation, teaching methods, faculty development, continuing…

Examines continuing education with respect to its importance, relationship to degree programs, financing, teaching opportunities, and compensation possibilities. The surveyed institutions recognize continuing education as an important and significant faculty activity and also suggest the need to further explore the financial and compensatory…

Attempts to identify the positions available to Bachelor of Engineering Technology (B.E.T.) graduates. A survey of B.E.T. graduates showed that they are being employed in responsible positions by industry and that most are receiving job assignments comparable to those given engineering graduates. Surveys by other institutions are suggested. (MA)

Summarizes curriculum guidelines for the following engineering technologies: chemical, industrial, mining, petroleum, nuclear, civil, mechanical, electrical, automotive, and manufacturing. In a few years, these Engineering Council for Professional Development committee guidelines are intended to become the criteria by which programs will be judged…

Describes a computer graphics program for teaching engineering students basic principles of multiview projections with two preprocessors to simplify student involvement with computer languages. (SL)

Describes an introductory computer module required for all freshmen engineering students at Vanderbilt University. Computer graphics are used to increase student interest and sense of accomplishment. (SL)
