The role of the engineering university in expanding the ranks of proletarian intellectuals is emphasized. (DE)

Reports on a study of the educational interests of the professional association (the Institution of Engineers), the engineering industry, and the government--both federal and state--and the perception of these interests by academics actively involved in teaching. (Author/IRT)

Discusses the use of instructional objectives, especially cognitive objectives. (MLH)

Discusses the social phenomena surrounding teaching a group, and how group dynamics can contribute to effective teaching. (MLH)

Highlights several topics discussed at an Effective Teaching Institute (ETI) attended by engineering educators, including educational objectives, student confidence, feedback, and transfer of learning. (MLH)

Describes a chemical engineering course that combines self-paced methods and lectures. (MLH)

A study of the supply of new science and engineering Ph.D.s in the next ten years projects a gain in the production of social and life science doctorates, but a decline in the number of physical science Ph.D.s. (MLH)

Chemical stoichiometry is discussed free from kinetic or thermodynamic considerations. The means for determining the following are presented: the number of stoichiometric degrees of freedom, the number of components, a permissible set of chemical equations, and a permissible set of components, for a closed system undergoing chemical reaction.…

The key to shortening the time-frame for this program is a special summer course in unit operations, and the replacement of the usual nine credits of minor courses with undergraduate chemical engineering courses. (BB)

Discussed is the changing role of women in the engineering profession. The author relates her twenty years of experience and outlook for the future. (CS)

Discussed are the ten specific skills which have been identified with successful engineering management. These include: team building; leadership; conflict resolution; technical expertise; planning; organization; entrepreneurship; administration; management support; and resource allocation. (CS)

Describes the state of employment of new science and engineering faculty in two-year and four-year colleges. About half of new faculty hired for the four-year colleges have doctorates, compared to about 4 percent for two-year institutions, and the trend is not expected to change over the next five years. (GA)

Discusses recent trends in job placement for BS, MS, and PhD graduates in chemical and chemical engineering. (CP)

Reports enrollment figures for science and engineering baccalaureates of 1974 and 1975. Provides availability information concerning the complete National Science Foundation (NSF) study. (CP)

Concern for the future of aerospace education and technology prompted this study of manpower needs conducted by NASA and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Conclusions of the study are reported in the article. (MA)
