Describes an autoremediation (self-remediation) system designed to allow students to diagnose their individual prerequisite deficiencies and then correct them. The system consists of a curriculum diagram, set of diagnostic tests, and a set of slide-tape self-instruction modules. Includes summary of evaluative efforts. (SK)

Offers rationale for and a description of a microprocessor-based control system project for mechanical engineering students. Includes reasons for selecting a Texas Instruments TM990/189 microprocessor system. (SK)

Describes mathematics of the nonliner relationships between a constant-speed, capstan-driven magnetic tape transport mechanism and a constant-angular-velocity take-up reel. The relationship, derived from the sum of a partial, serves in recognition of a finite tape. Thickness can serve as an example of rotational kinematics. (Author/SK)

Discusses use of computers in Electrical Engineering (EE) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Topics include: departmental background, level of computing power using large scale systems, mini and microcomputers, use of digital logic trainers and analog/hybrid computers, comments on integrating computers into EE curricula, and computer use in…

Following a brief introduction to the origin and nature of a course in polymer rheology and melt processing, discusses course objectives, detailed content, teaching strategies, and observations/experiences from its first offering. (SK)

Outlined is a 16-week political science course designed for students in engineering, the sciences, and humanities. The course focuses on the influence of science and technology on contemporary politics. Reading assignments, weekly topics, and course requirements are listed. (DC)

Reviews various factors related to women in technology, including recruitment procedures, student background, retention problems, and the role of the Open University. (SK)

An approach to the teaching of steady-state recycle calculations is presented. Included are the solutions to two sample problems. (BB)

A curriculum research and development project is described. The project, sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education, is intended to develop and test a curriculum for training energy conservation and use technicians. (BB)

A program is described which helps to introduce guidance counselors to technical career opportunities for women. (BB)

This paper gives an account of research on the structure of turbulence close to a solid boundary. Included is a method to study the flow close to the wall of a pipe without interferring with it. (Author/JN)

Describes Practice School Stations operated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including goals, station operation, description of field stations, and program descriptions. (JN)

Presents a partial history of the dilemma over the registration issue for engineering technologists. Defines engineering technology and engineering and suggests procedures that might be followed by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) to help resolve the registration problem. (GS)

Compares two methods for ranking academic programs, the opinion poll v examination of career successes of the program's alumni. For the latter, "Who's Who in Engineering" and levels of research funding provided data. Tables display resulting data and compare rankings by the two methods for chemical engineering and civil engineering. (CS)

Discusses several reasons for requiring senior design projects in electrical engineering technology (EET). Describes the senior design project program in EET at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. Lists points to consider regarding management of a projects program for faculty engaged in or contemplating such an approach. (CS)
