Describes a course planned to integrate aspects of nine different disciplines in an attempt to solve a common problem. Senior and graduate students with different backgrounds participated in the course with favorable results. Suggestions are listed for those who propose to teach a similar course. (PS)

For a long time, engineers have concentrated on producing technological goods with a view toward profit and service. Recent emergence of environmental and social problems strongly suggest that this emphasis should be modified. Now engineers should participate in determining policies and patterns of technological development. (PS)

The notion that research is a natural complement to teaching is explored in conjunction with the generally accepted idea that colleges and universities have a legitimate responsibility for expanding the frontiers of knowledge as well as teaching. (DF)

Exploration of some aspects of teaching and research to contrast what exists with what should exist. Suggests some means of getting engineering in order by focusing on the whole field rather than just research. (DF)

A course is presented with emphasis on physical chemistry, problem solving, and instrumental methods of analysis, with an attempt to relate chemical principles with engineering concepts. (DF)
