Describes the development, content, and implementation of a two-credit graduate course for teachers at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point in the use of microcomputers for teaching high school chemistry. (JJD)

Course descriptions were compared with student observations of the incidence of cancer-educational events in the medical curriculum. The method is recommended for assessing deficiencies and redundancies in any curriculum in both qualitative and quantitative ways. (MSE)

Selected aspects of a self-paced chemistry program are described. These include student selection, supervision requirements, and grading indicating that student selection is the key to a successful program. Also points out that quality/quantity of learning (determined by testing) is comparable to traditional lecture courses. (Author/JN)

Describes an industrial and engineering chemistry course organized on a case-study approach. The course theme is process conceptualization (creation of chemical processing routes). Flowcharts/flowcharting, quantitative aspects of industrial chemistry, teaching the course, use of patents, student evaluation, and useful references are discussed. A…

Since 1975 all Belgian students in state schools must take a religion course (Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or Islamic) or a moral education class. Teachers of moral education get a specific training according to the grade level they teach. Their very popular courses involve students in researching various topics. (RM)

Course outlines and timelines for a junior high school elective, "Youth and the Law," and a senior high school elective, "Criminal and Civil Law," are provided. A sample brochure about a supplementary television series for the junior high course is also included. (SR)

Describes three chemical information science courses offered by Indiana University (IU) Department of Chemistry. Also describes goals and operation of IU's Chemical Information Center, created to implement online searching of chemical databases and to assume operation of the IU dissemination of information services based on Chemical Abstracts…

Describes a laboratory course, modeled on the approach developed by Robert Karplus for physics laboratory courses, emphasizing discovery learning. (SK)

An analysis of trends in biomedical education within chemical education is presented. Data used for the analysis included: type/level of course, subjects taught, and textbook preferences. Results among others of the 1980 survey indicate that 28 out of 79 schools responding offer at least one course in biomedical engineering. (JN)

Describes the introduction of microprocessors into the Weapons and Systems Engineering Department at the U.S. Naval Academy, including planning decisions, implementation, procedures, uses of microprocessors in the department, and impact on the Systems Engineering major and curriculum. (SK)

Describes integration of Commodore PET microcomputers into the chemical engineering curriculum at the University of Rochester. Includes advantages of using microcomputers in laboratories to analyze data and control processes. (SK)

A two-semester basic chemistry course for nonchemistry engineering majors is described. First semester provides introductory chemistry for freshmen while second semester is "customer-oriented," based on a departmental choice of three out of six independent modules. For example, aeronautical engineering "customers" would select…

Presents a unique undergraduate course designed for the training and supervision of group leaders, and describes a combination of a didactic and experiential workshop and seminars for training and supervising group leaders. (Author)

An experimental program at Stanford University called "Lawyering Process" is described. The goals of the course include: (1) introducing legal planning and basic interpersonal skills; (2) examining the concepts of "professionalism"; (3) placing legal research and writing assignments in the context of law practice; and (4)…

Identifies professional attributes which are desirable in engineers and describes specific methods used by the University of Portland to encourage these qualities in their undergraduates. (CS)
