Describes a restructuring program that places more emphasis on blending research and teaching at the practical level. Heavier emphasis will be placed on engineering and additional consideration given to environmental technology, economics, business, and law. (GS)

Proposes method for determination of the pressure of a sphere by relating force and surface tension. (CP)

Describes a demonstration designed to teach chemistry definitions. Important chemical terms which specifically related to the demonstration were defined on handouts and distributed to the students for reference during the demonstration. (MLH)

Discusses solutions to problems in higher chemical education, including establishing a culturally oriented first course in chemistry, increasing employment opportunities for students, restructuring graduate education, and restoring the balance of professional effort between research and teaching. (MLH)

Describes a functional management system which individualizes instruction in undergraduate chemistry courses. CHEM TIPS (Chemistry Teaching Information Processing System) is designed to monitor each student's progress, identify specific weaknesses and strengths in his understanding of the course material, prescribe individual study assignments,…

Describes a series of experiments which illustrate the analytical capabilities of fluorescence, and outlines two straightforward analyses involving real analyses. These experiments are suitable for an undergraduate instrumental analysis course and require approximately six to seven hours of laboratory time. (MLH)

Claims that many problems in higher chemical education are institutional in nature, and should be treated as such. For example, each institution should define its goals clearly, then devise a structure and curriculum to achieve them. (MLH)

Describes a graduate level program open to students with bachelor's degrees in science and engineering. The program requires both course work and a combined laboratory-research project. (GS)

Describes a course structured around nuclear energy, fossil fuel energy, food energy, and the population explosion. The course uses classroom discussion and laboratory sessions to stress basic chemical principles and relevance to the student. A topical outline is included. (GS)

Describes a group of chemistry experiments designed to convey to students the real and measurable nature of certain mathematical concepts. (BR)
