The monograph, Young Engineers, is the first attempt of Soviet sociology and social psychology to deal with the training and professional adaptation of young engineers. (Editor)

Points to need for engineers with broader educational backgrounds who can join other professionals to deal with modern social and environmental problems. Adapted from address delivered to Engineering College Administrative and Research Councils at 77th Annual ASEE Conference, June 24, 1969. (WM)

Audio-tutorial instructional techniques permit the laboratory to be run on unscheduled basis, freeing students of time-constraints and affording more efficient use of laboratory equipment. (IR)

Describes a highly user-oriented conversational linear programing package for simulated laboratory experiences. The system allows easy problem entry, solution and changes, accepting free form statements of the problem and a few key words to describe each kind of input. (Author/TS)

Describes how guided design is applied to a freshman engineering course so that professional and social concerns are integrated into a problem-solving approach. (PR)

The author feels the student should be asked to creatively solve realistic problems beginning in the freshman and sophomore years. The professor becomes a coach" to help the student develop his abilities rather than teach" skills that someone else has developed. (TS)
