Presents data from a national survey of the role of science division chairmen including activities, subject matter areas supervised, time available for selected activities, areas of responsibility, and procedures used in evaluating science instruction. (TS)

Describes a system for remedial assistance with problem solving for first year physics by using synchronized tape-slide materials with provision for control to be exercised by a group rather than by individuals. (PR)

Describes how guided design is applied to a freshman engineering course so that professional and social concerns are integrated into a problem-solving approach. (PR)

An undergraduate participant discusses his views on a three day symposium on Economic and Technological Aspects of Chemistry." The Chemistry Department at the University of York, England, presented opportunities for chemists in industry. (TS)

The author feels the student should be asked to creatively solve realistic problems beginning in the freshman and sophomore years. The professor becomes a coach" to help the student develop his abilities rather than teach" skills that someone else has developed. (TS)

Information is defined as data of value in decision making. Computer and Information Science is the study of information flow in a system and the processing of that information. These concepts are related to problem solving and the design of engineering curricula. (Author/TS)
