Included is a list of laboratory instruments and equipment and the names and addresses of their manufacturers. Names of instruments appear in alphabetical order in heavy black type and the names of manufacturers of each instrument appear below each instrument entry in ordinary type. Each instrument is identified by a "category number." Unnumbered…

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)

Highlights several topics discussed at an Effective Teaching Institute (ETI) attended by engineering educators, including educational objectives, student confidence, feedback, and transfer of learning. (MLH)

Describes a chemical engineering course that combines self-paced methods and lectures. (MLH)

A study of the supply of new science and engineering Ph.D.s in the next ten years projects a gain in the production of social and life science doctorates, but a decline in the number of physical science Ph.D.s. (MLH)

Chemical stoichiometry is discussed free from kinetic or thermodynamic considerations. The means for determining the following are presented: the number of stoichiometric degrees of freedom, the number of components, a permissible set of chemical equations, and a permissible set of components, for a closed system undergoing chemical reaction.…

The key to shortening the time-frame for this program is a special summer course in unit operations, and the replacement of the usual nine credits of minor courses with undergraduate chemical engineering courses. (BB)

Discussed is the changing role of women in the engineering profession. The author relates her twenty years of experience and outlook for the future. (CS)
