Engineering educators do not utilize to full capacity the advanced computer techniques which information processing industries and utilities have developed to further educational services and data communication. (IR)

Condensed version of a speech presented to the German Society for Applied Linguistics in October 1970, Stuttgart, Germany. (WB)

Considerable attention is given to the ratios of time for general education, professional education, and specialized (Industrial Technology) education in teacher education curriculums. (GB)

Information on the computer industry and computer use by students, faculty, and the publishing industry that may be useful in planning college store merchandising is compiled from a variety of sources. (MSE)

Takes a specific issue, the regulating of children's television, and shows how it might be analyzed using the Krasnow-Longley-Terry systems approach to broadcast regulation. A chronological review of legislation dealing with children's television is included. (Author/JJD)

Discusses what industry is looking for in college-level, computer-oriented programs, curricula, instruction, and graduates. Comments from various industry and college personnel are provided. A listing of the 15 top-ranked graduate and undergraduate computer science programs (including criteria used in the rankings) is also provided. (JN)

Guidelines to use when solving complex design problems and two illustrative examples were presented in Volume 16 (No. 1), page 12 of this journal. Two additional examples are presented, focusing on ASCEND-II, a flowsheeting system to help "design" a computer model for a process. (SK)

Reviews a one-semester senior plant design/laboratory course, focusing on course structure, student projects, laboratory assignments, and course evaluation. Includes discussion of laboratory exercises related to process waste water and sludge. (SK)

Encourages science educators to consider engaging students in science projects resulting in socially useful products. Educational presentations meant to perform social functions (soft products) and preparation/execution of environmental manipulations (hard products) such as pollution analysis, plant breeding, or administering medical tests are…

Universities and industry are forging new relationships to support academic research and industrial research and development, including the establishment of university/cooperative research centers. Discusses various cooperative projects at these research centers. Includes a list of representative R&D centers in biotechnology, building…

Discusses engineering ramifications of electrochemistry, focusing on current/potential distribution, evaluation of trade-offs between influences of different phenomena, use of dimensionless numbers to assist in scale-over to new operating conditions, and economics. Also provides examples of electrochemical engineering education content related to…

Discusses use and applications of computer technology in chemistry, indicating that the importance of the computer has not been fully realized in the realm of organic synthesis. Includes discussions of various computer programs and systems currently used, supplemented by tables highlighting, for example, features of major computer-aided synthesis…

Using genetic engineering as an example, issues related to functions of universities/industry and scientific research are discussed. A research agreement between MIT and Exxon Corporation (on combustion science) is outlined, addressing issues related to such agreements (including patents/patent ownership and publications). Suggests future…

Examines the relationship between the tenure system and affirmative action gains in higher education during a time of retrenchment. Compares the situation with that in industry during the recession of the 1970s, when layoffs caused clashes over the relative importance of seniority provisions and minorities' employment gains. (Author/MLF)

The growth of industry-supported research in universities is described, and ethical issues and the role of universities in commercial activities are debated. Industrial objectives, a comparison of some specific agreements, and desirable directions for industry support of university research are discussed. (MLW)
