The supply of scientists and engineers should be viewed not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality and preparation. Forecasts have proven inaccurate in the past so that industry must assure an adequate quantity of students entering the science and engineering fields by the promise of employment. The quality of the professionals…

A large percentage of all US degrees in mineral engineering fields are awarded by 14 institutions of higher education in 13 western states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. But low undergraduate enrollments in the mineral engineering curricula have increased…

A brief review of recent developments in engineering education leads to basic reflections about the importance of design education. Aircraft design is singled out as a field where demands on design are particularly high and urgent. Basic needs are determined. Additional challenges posed by engineering technology, continuing studies,…

The seventh publication in the series issued by the Engineering Manpower Commission of Engineers Joint Council, this report on engineering and technology enrollments is presented for the purpose of illustrating the actual class standings as of Fall, 1973. In engineering survey results, 72 tables are generated from responses submitted by 288…

On the instruction of the Council of Ontario Universities, the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning in cooperation with the Committee of Ontario Deans of Engineering has conducted a planning assessment for doctoral work in industrial engineering and systems design. Recommendations for doctoral work in engineering studies are presented.…

This is the first of a series of three instructor manuals in x-ray science and engineering and is produced as part of a project of Oregon State University's Bureau of Radiological Health. This manual, and the two companion manuals, have been tested in courses at Oregon State. These materials have been designed to serve as models for teaching and…

This is the second of a series of three instructor manuals in x-ray science and engineering and is produced as part of a project of Oregon State University's Bureau of Radiological Health. This manual, and the two campanion manuals, have been tested in courses at Oregon State. These materials have been designed to serve as models for teaching and…

This publication is the third of three sequential course manuals for instructors in x-ray science and engineering. This course manual has been tested by introducing it into the Oregon State University curriculum. The publication is prepared for the purpose of improving the qualifications of x-ray users and to reduce the ionizing radiation exposure…

A course in modeling and computer simulation of dynamic systems uses three methods to introduce students to these topics. Core studies, the consideration of the theoretical fundamentals of modeling and simulation, and the execution by students of a project are employed. Taught in the Electrical Engineering Department at Michigan Technological…

As the sixth publication in the series issued by the Engineering Manpower Commission of Engineers Joint Council, the report on engineering and technology enrollments is presented for the purpose of illustrating the actual class standings as of Fall 1972. In engineering survey results, 68 tables are generated from responses submitted by 283…

A Master's degree program in engineering in Portland, Oregon, was taught by faculty members who commuted from the School of Engineering at Oregon State University 80 miles away. The one three-hour meeting per week schedule maintained by this program didn't produce the quality of course that resulted from on-campus instruction by the same…

This quarterly publication is intended to acquaint students and teachers with new trade books, textbooks, and reference works in the pure and applied sciences. A listing of detailed subject fields is provided including psychology, sociology, economics, education, physical sciences, natural sciences, engineering, agriculture, geography and…

The audio-tutorial approach to the teaching of a college engineering science course was studied, using 104 subjects to determine its effectiveness in comparison with the instruction completed by using printed transcripts of the same material. Class and lab lectures were normally presented through the use of taped recordings and a set of lecture…

A list of 11 statements relating to the change in training programs for radio and communications engineers is presented in this article, in preparation for future developments in the field. Semiconductors, decimeter and centimeter radio frequency ranges, and a statistical approach to communications systems are analyzed as the three important…

A two-day conference was held in 1969 with industrial representatives and COSINE members to examine the impact that computer technology has had upon the practice of engineering in industry and to assess the meaning of these changes upon the structure of electrical engineering education. The major conclusions and recommendations of the meeting may…
