The Continuing Engineering Studies Division (CES) of ASEE is described. Includes lists of the purposes and characteristics of CES, types of learning situations, and climate essential for learning on the job. Also includes educational and professional characteristics of the CES learner. (TS)

Some characteristics of interdisciplinary research institutes are identified. Some operational guidelines are recommended with particular emphasis on their structure with respect to the framework of the university. (TS)

The development of sandwich courses, a review of their progress and a consideration of the problems associated with their operation are described. These courses are integrated so that industrial training is required and is interspersed between academic segments. (Author/TS)

Testing shows technical students do better working out lab experiments either individually or in pairs rather than in larger groups. Technical Education is a bimonthly supplement to Industrial Arts and Vocational Education. (Editor/GB)

Compares first year performance of science and engineering university students with and without PSSC Physics in high school. PSSC students, particularly those of high ability, performed better. (AL)

A teaching strategy called personalized system of instruction has been developed in which all elements are carefully chosen and interrelated to maximize student learning. (IR)

The systems engineer attempts to predict the consequences of his system's operation. (Editor)

Author believes engineers must develop a professional school in order to improve quality of engineering practice through education and achieve high professional status in the eyes of the public. (IR)

CLOSE (Center for Laboratory Oriented Studies and Experimentation) is an organization of engineering educators and 5 industries engaged in improving and strengthening engineering curricula devoted to laboratory oriented studies. (Editor)

Describes three student experiments in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). In these experiments, it was found that the electrical conductivity of the local water supply was sufficient to demonstrate effectively some of the features of MHD flowmeters, generators, and pumps. (LC)
