Reviews developments in electron spectroscopy, x-ray spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance instrumentation. (SL)

Discusses the development of a "win-win" educational approach as opposed to a "win-lose" approach. (SL)

Discusses the need for using case studies in engineering education programs. (SL)

Describes a 12 hour minicourse in Huckel molecular orbital (HMO) theory presented as part of a senior level chemical bonding course. (SL)

Describes chemistry games included in the PLATO computer-generated graphics system developed at the University of Illinois to give students problem solving practice. (SL)

Describes an experiment for determining the thermal neutron flux of the light-water nuclear reactor at the University of California, Irvine. The difficulty of the activity can be varied to match the student's level of proficiency. (SL)

Presents a method for describing the electromagnetic field within a wave guide which permits the application of the formalism of quantum mechanics. (SL)

Presents a model describing the vibrations of a mass connected to fixed supports by "ideal" Hooke's law springs which may serve as a starting point in the study of the properties of irons in a crystal undergoing soft mode activated transition. (SL)

Describes the use of computer-generated testing to provide the immediate feedback aspect in a Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) course with large enrollment and only a limited number of teaching assistants available. (SL)

Reports an undergraduate analytical chemistry experiment utilizing the high performance liquid chromatograph. (SL)

Describes an experiment investigating the polarization characteristics of light scattered from a dielectric cylinder. (SL)

Describes a remedial physics laboratory course for students operating at the concrete Piagetian level of cognitive development. (SL)

Presents an operator which transforms quantum functions to solve problems of the stationary state wave functions for a particle and the motion and spreading of a Gaussian wave packet in uniform gravitational fields. (SL)

Describes apparatus for demonstrating wave motion in a ripple tank, the conservation of momentum on a linear air track, and velocity distribution in an ideal gas simulator. (SL)

Analyzes the physical explanation accounting for tendency of Laboratory spring-mass oscillators to swing sideways. (SL)
