Flow-diagrams, algorithms, decision logic tables, and concept maps are presented in detail as methods for teaching practical procedures, problem solving, and basic concepts in microbial genetics. It is suggested that the flexible use of these methods should lead to an improved understanding of microbial genetics. (Author/MA)

The set-up and checking-out of a simulated chemical pilot plant as part of a chemical engineering technology lab is described. (BB)

Gives a new definition for the concept of the elementary particle in nuclear physics. Explains why the existance of the quark as an elementary particle could be an accepted fact even though it lacks what traditionally identifies a particle. Compares this with the development which took place during the discovery of the neutrino in the early…

Describes the facilities available and the activities shared among a Consortium of Colorado Colleges and Universities. With the help of communications and computer networks, they are offering identical courses in engineering, biology and mathematics. (GA)

Reviews contemporary patterns in engineering education with special emphasis on the inadequacies existing in developing countries. (SL)

Reviews exercises in the analysis of samples and interpretations of results from the geochemical survey portion of a three year teacher education program in geology presented at Salisbury College of Advanced Education. (SL)

Describes a community interest short course in physics developed to increase awareness of the methods and principles of science. (SL)

Discusses reasons and need for experimental laboratories in engineering education. (SL)

Discusses the need to teach practical engineering particulary through close ties between industry and universities. (SL)

Promotes the use of case studies in engineering education to prepare students to exercise and develop their own talents. (SL)

Presents profiles of engineering technology students, engineering students, and university students in general. Data include English usage, math ability, science ability, class rank, years of high school math, and other information. (SL)

Describes an introductory college science course for nonscience majors concentrating on climatology and meteorology. Student apathy and discontent with science is overcome through a historically relevant presentation of the subjects. Results indicate a significant stimulation of student interest in science. (SL)

Describes education related products and teaching innovations including: table top BASIC (Tektronix, $7,000) and BASIC/APL (IBM, $9,000) computers; using edited videotapes and audiotapes to illustrate specific teacher behaviors; and the use, and sequence for developing individualized presentations for commercial tape/slide viewers (Singer Caramate…

Summarizes the Ising model of ligand binding as it applies to cooperative binding to long chain molecules. Also presents some illustrations which help to visualize the connection between the interaction parameters and the shape of the binding isotherm. (Author/MR)

The use of Dischler equations in conformational analysis is described relative to the "nmr" spectrum analysis of bismethylene fragments of both acylic and cylic systems. Also, an approach to analyze the AA'BB' spectrum of these bismethylene fragments is described. (MR)
