A collection of seven laboratory facilities and processes dedicated to improving student understanding of the fundamental concepts associated with the structural mechanics of oceanic structures is described. Complete working drawings covering all mechanical and electrical aspects of these systems are presented so that the systems may be reproduced…

A complete bibliographic reference and an abstract are given for each publication of the Human Factors Laboratory from 1976-1978, including journal articles and conference proceedings papers which members of the Laboratory published during the same period. Three indexes--index by source (contractor or in-house), author index, and subject matter…

Discussed is a survey of 235 institutions granting Ph.D. degrees. Findings showed that since 1975 the proportion of recent doctorates on the full-time faculty of 5 representative science and engineering fields has dropped by one-fifth. The number of full-time doctoral faculty increased by over 14% between 1968 and 1978, but the number of recent…

THE MAJOR PURPOSES OF THIS STUDY WERE TO--(1) IMPROVE THE CURRICULUM IN AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS FOR THE PREPARATION OF VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE TEACHERS AT UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY, (2) SERVE AS A GUIDE IN CHANGING AND DEVELOPING FUTURE COURSES IN AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS FOR ALL-DAY STUDENTS, (3) DISCOVER THE NEEDS FOR INSERVICE TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND…

Two types of programed instruction sequences (inquiry and tutorial) were used on the PLATO system to teach electrical network analysis (EE 322, University of Illinois). Two groups of students were selected to use each of the two types of instruction. Both of the instruction sequences were to provide the same performance objectives. The report…
