Presents a description of the programs offered by a fictitious technology and society department as a model for future programs designed to provide a liberalized technical education. (GS)

Outlines manpower needs in both the public and private sectors in the areas of air pollution control, solid waste management, radiological hazard control, pesticide hazard control, and water pollution control. (GS)

Presents the objectives of a four-year college education in engineering. Evaluated self-paced instruction as a means of achieving those objectives. (GS)

Solar and ocean thermal energy sources offer real potential for an environmentally clean fuel by the year 2000. A review of current research contracts relating to ocean-thermal energy, cost requirements of plant construction and uses of the electricity produced, such as synthesizing ammonia and synthetic fuels, are discussed. (BT)

A British project in engineering science is described. Computer assisted instruction packages are being developed to provide students with experience with models or systems of models related to lecture material on electrical, electronic, nuclear, and mechanical engineering. (SD)

Describes a two semester course of 24 units based on "University Physics" by Sears and Zemansky which has two levels of mastery: passing and superior, but is graded. Experience with four repetitions is reported. (GH)

Reports on a limited survey of published curriculum guides to determine if courses in the category of "technical sciences" are included in engineering technology curricula, what courses appear most frequently, and what proportion of total time allocation do they represent. (GS)

Presents the view that formal assignments such as problem sheets to be solved at home within a given amount of time are detrimental to the development of a mature outlook in college students. Presents an alternative to this approach. (GS)

Reports the results of a survey conducted among supervisers of 81 Kansas State University graduates. The rating form listed ten criteria relevant to the successful performance of any engineering-related job. (Author/GS)

Paper presents a mathematical framework which describes an aspect of the means of communication between a physical system in motion and a sequential logic network. (Author)

Offers basic performance criteria to use in evaluating, comparing, and designing products for the disabled. (Author/MLF)

The United States Environmental Protection Agency's National Environmental Research Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, has set up a computerized service system following low-cost guidelines. (Author)

This white paper focuses on the integration and enhancement of the computing experience for undergraduates throughout the chemical engineering curriculum. The computing experience for undergraduates in chemical engineering should have continuity and be coordinated from course to course, because a single software solution is difficult to achieve in…

We show a new approach, based on the utilization of Mathematica, to solve gas permeation problems using membranes. We start with the design of a membrane unit for the separation of a multicomponent mixture. The built-in Mathematica function, FindRoot, allows one to solve seven simultaneous equations instead of using the iterative approach of…
