Criticizes pure science orientation of engineering curriculum, faculty and admissions criteria since 1920's. Advocates redirection toward balance of "pure and "applied technological training which would clarify practical aspect of engineering profession and prepare students who could compete with theoretical physicists and mathematicians. (LP)

In the past, the associate degree was awarded upon completion of two-year engineering technology programs. Industrial needs have influenced the curricula for these programs, which now involve four years leading to baccalaureate degrees that bolster status and career opportunities for engineering technicians. (WM)

Describes a course for non-engineering students at Lafayette College which includes the design process in a project. Also included are the study of modeling, optimization, simulation, computer application, and simple feedback controls. (Author/TS)

Engineering educators do not utilize to full capacity the advanced computer techniques which information processing industries and utilities have developed to further educational services and data communication. (IR)

The author integrates disparate bodies of literature and draws implications for the psychology of instruction and physical environment design. (VW)

Article focuses on government information systsms and resources, alternatives to computer storage retrieval and large scale information systems, and techniques to improve the utilization of existing information systems in colleges and universities. (Editor)

An address delivered before humanities students and faculty (Arizona State University, Tempe, April 14, 1967). (Editor/RD)

Various topics on the biochemistry of genetic manipulation are discussed. These include genetic transformation and DNA; genetic expression; DNA replication, repair, and mutation; technology of genetic manipulation; and applications of genetic manipulation. Other techniques employed are also considered. (JN)

Discussion of the problem of automation in the workplace with references to libraries focuses on the person/machine interface of visual display terminals (VDT). An argument is made for a human systems approach which integrates operator-user, VDT, work environment, work station, and task. Ergonomic recommendations for VDT use are made. (Author/EJS)

Current research in plant genetics is described. Benefits of this research (which includes genetic engineering applications) will include reduction/elimination of crop diseases, assurance of genetic stability, and the creation of new crop varieties. (JN)
