Those who attended this workshop agreed that the textbooks being published today have too much material to be covered in a standard one-year course. Discussions were centered around deletion of subject matter in certain areas. (BB)

Discusses the principle of generating electron beams, some of their current applications as a high energy content source, and their potential for technological development. (GA)

Presents a few illustrations of physics areas such as capacitors, free fall, vectors, and waves, to show that methods of presentation of specific topics, in some physics textbooks, produce in the average student the wrong impression and ignorance of important scientific facts. (GA)

Describes a physics course, Biomechanics, designed for physical education majors, where stroboscopic photography is used to provide student data to calculate average velocities of objects in different sport activities. (GA)

Discusses the principle of nonisothermal kinetics and some of the factors involved in such reactions, especially when considering the reliability of the kinetic parameters, compared to those of isothermal conditions. (GA)

Describes how to determine heats of adsorption by means of gas-solid chromatography. Explains the measureable variables involved, the relationships among them, and the graphs to be drawn. (GA)

Discusses the aggregation pheromone of the smaller European elm bark beetle, Scolytus multistriatus (Marsham), with emphasis on information that could be used in the classroom as a practical application of organic chemistry. (Author/GA)

Presents a brief update scheme of known (CH)8 interconversions where established routes for the isomers exist, and pointing to the fact that many isomers are still unknown. (GA)

Describes a machine which demonstrates the statistical bases of chemical equilibrium, and in doing so conveys insight into the connections among statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, Maxwell Boltzmann statistics, statistical thermodynamics, and transition state theory. (GA)

Describes Bohr-Einstein debate during the period of development of the quantum theory, and how each used Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to support his views. (GA)

Describes a course unit scheme that has been adopted by the college. The system allows more flexibility in career planning and in course selection than does the old traditional system. (GA)

Describes a modular degree course in sciences. States the modules taken in physics in each of the three years program. (GA)

Discusses the role of professional societies in encouraging minority participation in their respective vocations. In particular, the actions of professional organizations of physicists are discussed. (CP)

Provides a comprehensive assessment of present scientific technology in China, and the means being used to advance China to equal scientific sophistication with the rest of the world. (CP)

Urges the restructuring of astronomy-astrophysics courses to accommodate nonastronomy majors. Outlines an alternative approach to teach astronomy. (GA)
