The author views the primary purpose of the modern engineering laboratory as teaching the student how to experiment. An attempt is made to update the engineering laboratory and make it generally meaningful for all students, whether headed for graduate school or an industrial job. The intent is to broaden the experimental picture so that students…

Six of the special reports contained in this volume of articles concerned with trends in the sciences are related to problems of human population, pollution, and drug and insecticide regulation; two are on astronomy; three report on aspects of psychology and behavior; and there is one report each on marine ecology, atomic physics, Japanese…

New arrangements for craft training in the British engineering industry call for a three stage structure: (1) a year of basic training in a wide variety of skills (welding, vehicle painting, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and others); (2) selected training in specialized skills under controlled conditions; (3) experience in using…

Human resources data (HRD) inputs often fail to influence system development. This study investigated the possibility that these inputs are sometimes deficient in quantity or timing. In addition, the effect upon design of different personnel quality and quantity requirements was analyzed. Equipment and HRD inputs which were produced during actual…

The seminar reported in this document examined the university mathematics courses which should be available to future engineers, and was especially concerned with the introduction of computer science education. There are four major sections. The first reports a survey of electrical engineers in the United Kingdom which investigated how often they…

This second draft of a manuscript for a high school engineering and technology course uses case studies as its format. The principles associated with various engineering problems are presented along with their effects on daily life. Topics include the computer, the automotive power system, satellite communications, the petroleum industry, water…

A project sponsored by the Council on Library Resources in which the science and engineering libraries at 22 selected universities were studied is summarized in this report. The study was concerned with only certain aspects of such libraries, namely collection development, reader services, physical facilities, and professional staff attitudes and…

This report describes the activities of a program designed to develop the information and systems necessary for managing the Continental Shelf and Coastal Zone of Northern New England. Ten research areas or projects are discussed: aquaculture, biology and ecology, coastal oceanography, buoy systems studies, man in the sea, marine platforms and…

Described is the College of Engineering educational program at the University of Detroit which emphasizes interaction between students, faculty, and industry. The undergraduate pre-professional and professional programs as well as the three-phase doctor of engineering program which includes an internship are outlined. (SL)

Each of the 38 curriculum modules in this packet for agricultural mechanics instruction contains a brief description of the module content, a list of the major divisions or units, the overall objectives, objectives by unit, content outline and suggested teaching methods, student application activities, and evaluation procedures. A listing of…

This book, written for engineering students and young practicing engineers, provides a systematic approach to the design of technical communication: the communication process, audience analysis, and the design and writing of technical reports. Focus is on the questions that a writer must answer in order to compose clear and effective reports: who…

This collection of speeches, presented as the 1974 Marine Occupations Conference in South Portland, Maine, provides an overview of information regarding availability and kinds of careers in, as well as the educational requirements for, marine occupations. Also reviewed are the problems of developing marine resources, such as those involving…

This survey presents tabulated data of the responses of 50,000 Indiana high school seniors to a questionnaire designed to determine the characteristics and plans of those intending to become engineers after graduation. Characteristic highlights include the following: Engineering aspirants were 92% male; 65% were in college preparatory courses; 22%…

Provides statistics on the 1975 enrollments for various engineering branches and for women and minorities in engineering. (MLH)
