Human factors engineering is considered with regard to the design of safety factors for aviation and highway transportation equipment. Current trends and problem areas are identified for jet air transportation and for highway transportation. Suggested solutions to transportation safety problems are developed by applying the techniques of human…

This is the sixth year that an attempt has been made to bring together information of interest to deans of engineering for use in planning. Special attention has been focused on direct instructional costs, nonacademic personnel costs, regular nonsalaried operational costs, space rations, and student-faculty ratios. Only general comparisons for the…

Publications and presentations developed by the Human Resources Research Organization during 1972 and 1973 are listed. Part I of the bibliography contains reports issued during 1973; each citation gives the document title, author, and the contract under which the work was performed. Part II provides abstracts for each document included in Part I…

A comprehensive undergraduate engineering program must provide opportunities for the application of theoretical concepts to the solution of realistic engineering problems. As digital systems and computer engineering concepts are integrated into the undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum, many departments are revising their laboratory…

The first part of this two part volume includes articles relating to engineering education. Topics included are personalizing instruction, individualizing instruction, programed instruction, rewarding good teaching, and the use of different approaches to improve teaching.

This document presents a compilation of marine sciences institutions, academic degrees, curricula, teaching and research facilities, and teaching faculties at 134 academic institutions throughout the country. In addition, the document gives the typical requirements for admission to graduate study and information concerning financial assistance…

Dawson, Fairfax County/U.S.A. is a hypothetical community developed by the authors as a teaching aid for undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental engineering, providing a context for problem solving and role playing. It was contrived to provide students opportunities to: (1) identify important community relationships, (2) appreciate the…

Presented is a general overview and summary of the 1974-1975 Sea Grant Program activities and research. Included are marine advisory services, education, coastal resources, aquaculture, fisheries, new marine products, and energy resources. (SL)

Described is a pre-1970 history of the participation of women in science and engineering, including numbers for women enrolling in college in these two fields. A discussion of opportunities for employment and advancement, and salary differentials for men and women prior to 1970, is included. Opportunities for publication, reemployment, and…

The role of the engineering university in expanding the ranks of proletarian intellectuals is emphasized. (DE)

Reports on a study of the educational interests of the professional association (the Institution of Engineers), the engineering industry, and the government--both federal and state--and the perception of these interests by academics actively involved in teaching. (Author/IRT)

Discusses the use of instructional objectives, especially cognitive objectives. (MLH)

Discusses the social phenomena surrounding teaching a group, and how group dynamics can contribute to effective teaching. (MLH)
