Describes a programing course that includes computer tutorial lessons in basic programing language. (MLH)

Describes a computerized learning system capable of handling a wide variety of subject matter at different grade levels in a real time interactive mode. (MLH)

Presents data broken down by curriculum and degree for four levels of engineering and four technology programs. Totals for women and minorities are offered by curriculum and three levels of degree. Summary tables are provided for past years. (MLH)

Describes a four-week summer program designed to attract women into the engineering curriculum and ultimately into an engineering career. (MLH)

Discusses a statistical report on chemical and chemical engineering higher education; the findings indicate an increase in 1975 B.S. and Ph.D. graduates in chemistry, a decrease in these degrees in chemical engineering, and an increase in female graduates in both fields. (MLH)

Discusses a program that allows university engineering faculty members to work in industry for one year to gain experience that will aid in their instruction of engineering undergraduates. (MLH)

Discusses legal aspects of affirmative action plans, and gives examples of inadvertant employment discrimination, especially in relation to engineering education administrators. (MLH)

Describes a survey of 30 institutions that offer baccalaureate degrees in engineering technology; reports on the hiring and promotion policies for the engineering technology faculty at these institutions. (MLH)

A humanistic approach to teaching fluid mechanics is described which minimizes lecturing, increases professor-student interaction, uses group and individual problem solving sessions, and allows for student response. (BB)

Since the statistical theories of turbulence that have developed over the last twenty or thirty years are too abstract and unreliable to be of much use to chemical engineers, this paper introduces the techniques of single point models and suggests some areas of needed research. (BB)

Attitudinal measures of training and control group engineering students showed positive and significant gains for the treatment group both in attitude toward the effectiveness of on-line searches and for the number of citations yielded. Cost-effectiveness was greater for on-line searches than for manual searches. (Author/IRT)

Reviews the Women in Science and Technology Equal Opportunity Act, which is designed to promote the full use of human resources in science and technology through a comprehensive program to maximize the potential contribution and advancement of women in scientific, professional, and technical careers. (Author/MA)

Compares the content of some undergraduate and graduate courses in chemical kinetics and chemical reactor engineering. (BB)

This course is based on the premise that a sound base in the mechanics and electrokinetics of the dispersed phase is essential for an understanding of the macroscopically apparent behavior of such disperse systems. (Author/BB)

The opinion is presented that chemical engineering education seems to emphasize the professor's research and/or professional interests with little regard for the real needs of the student who intends to become a practicing engineer. (BB)
