A previously developed program for the HP-41C programmable calculator is extended to handle models of differential and difference equations with multiple eigenvalues. How to obtain difference equation solutions via the Z transform is described. (MNS)

Contemporary conditions relevant to the maintenance of occupational control are examined for five professions (accounting, architecture, civil engineering, law, and medicine) in the United Kingdom and the United States as an impetus for the analysis of control by occupations in general. (Author/CT)

Presents a description of the chemical engineering department of the Louisiana State University. (BB)

Examples of engineering management departments at various types of colleges are given. (BB)

The masters degree program of the Department of Mining Engineering at McGill University is described. The program makes extensive use of the seminar format and relies heavily on the participation of outside experts. (BB)

This special report answers several questions about basic research in chemistry. Topics of discussion include spending for basic research, numbers of individuals engaged in basic research, and the quality of the work force in basic research. Future research levels are projected. Tables and graphs present associated numerical data. (CS)

A course developed at Purdue University for freshmen engineering students includes lectures on topics of national concern to engineers, basic engineering laboratory experience, and career planning. (BB)

This is the third, concluding, part of an article on the Greater Chicago Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP). It focuses on the hydrologic and hydraulic studies which controlled the sizing of tunnels, storage reservoirs and pumping stations, and on the resulting pumping station and reservoir. (BB)

Briefly discusses recent international programs in various areas of geology, including land-use problems, coping with geological hazards, and conserving the environment while searching for energy and mineral resources. (MLH)

Gives reasons why the lecture is a valuable teaching method; discusses how to improve lectures, and what lectures can accomplish. (MLH)

A short history of United States metrication is given. Some differing implications for industrial engineers are discussed. (DT)

DELPHI, a time-sharing system developed specifically for introducing engineering students to sound programing principles and practice, is described in terms of user environment, languages, system architecture, and operation. (DT)

Usefulness of engineering journals, as measured by the citation frequency in students' theses, is discussed. (DT)

Results are reported of a study concerned with the importance attributed to certain factors regarding teaching effectiveness and the agreement between students and faculty as to what constitutes effective teaching in college engineering courses. (DT)

Discusses the value and use of images as information. Topics include the information in images versus text; a taxonomy of image types; resources related to images; and the use of images in architecture, engineering, advertising, and competitive intelligence. (LRW)
