This paper reports the first phase of a two phase project for obtaining data relating to current physics enrollments. The second phase, reported in another publication, involved identifying distinguishing characteristics of high schools with high and low enrollments in physics. (CP)

In interpretation of the process of measurement is proposed which can be placed wholly within the quantum theory. The entire system including the apparatus and even the mind of the observer can be considered to develop according to the Schrodinger equation. (RR)

Describes the problems facing two-year community colleges in teaching physics to nonphysics majors. Describes the open laboratory and individualized instruction at Florissant Valley Community College. Discusses what the author considers the greatest need in physics education, a set of objectives of instruction for all courses at all levels. (RR)

Describes an experiment in which the Fresnel diffraction pattern of a single slit can be displayed directly on an oscilloscope. The experiment requires a minimum amount of equipment and space. Results of the experiment are presented and compared with theoretical calculations carried out by a digital computer. (LC)

A critical view of mechanical engineering technology curriculum. Technical Education is a supplement to Industrial Arts and Vocational Education. (Editor)

College physics textbooks emphasize the conclusions of research at the expense of the context of inquiry in physics. The latter should be given specific consideration in at least one of the student's physics courses. An excellent focus for this consideration would be the process of theory evaluation as indicated in this paper. (Author/TS)
