The Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education (CACHE) guidelines identify desirable features of large-scale computer programs including running cost and running-time limit. Also discussed are programming standards, documentation, program installation, system requirements, program testing, and program distribution. Lists of types of…

The National Computing Centre Limited (NCC), established by the British Government to extend and improve the use of computers in the United Kingdom, is a major force in computer science education. As part of the overall national plan, training course packages consisting of lecturer's materials, visual aids and student notes have been prepared for…

The potentialities of specialized languages, in comparison to those of other types of specialized systems, are discussed. The point is made that these languages have been invented by information processing professionals in order to assist the problem-solving activities of computer users by providing them with appropriate interfaces to the…

The current curriculum modules under development at Project Solo are listed. The modules are grouped under the subject matter that they are designed to teach--algebra II, biology, calculus, chemistry, computer science, 12th grade math, physics, social science. Special programs written for use on the Hewlett-Packard Plotter are listed that may be…

As an instructional aid for beginning computer science courses, two systems are described which permit the automatic diagnosing and grading of student prepared problems. The first system, called SIM 610, is based on a simulator which performs by actually running student programs prepared for a simple tutorial computer used in the classroom. The…

As theorists and practitioners in the fields of communications, computers, bibliography, and photography work more closely to provide services and products to users, the need to assure precision of communications among them and to the public they serve becomes imperative. This compilation gleaned from various sources, is an effort to improve these…

The proceedings of an Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Seminar on computer science in engineering education are presented. Ways and means of introducing computer science to engineers and means of applying results of past experience are discussed. There are seven major papers presented: (1) The Experience of the…

In 1971 a survey was conducted by the Dearborn Schools to determine the curricular changes necessary to improve the electronic data processing (EDP) courses in the high schools and community colleges. Input was obtained from a 9 point questionnaire sent to 275 local data processing facilities and a 12 point questionnaire sent to 394 former EDP…

This document investigates the interacting patterns of computer support and usage. Data were obtained from an inventory of computers in American higher education, 1967. The data indicated that the overall national picture masks the great variation among institutions of higher education. Four of the 21 findings were the following: (1) In fiscal…

Development work of the Computer Technology Program (or REACT-Relevant Educational Applications of Computer Technology) during the period of July 1, 1971 to August 31, 1972 is summarized here. Work during this period included writing and developmental testing of a course in computer careers for high school pupils. This phase took the course…

APL is a computer language (A Programing Language). Papers at this conference of APL users deal with the following topics: an APL approach to interactive display terminals; graphics in APL; an interactive APL graphics system; modeling a satellite experiment on APL; representing negative integers in bit vectors; APL as a teaching tool--two…

The third of three volumes of a mathematics training course for Navy personnel, this text emphasizes topics needed in understanding digital computers and computer programing. The text begins with sequences and series, induction and the binomial theorem, and continues with two chapters on statistics. Arithmetic operations in number systems other…

The jackknife is a general inferential technique intended to ameliorate the problems associated with inadequate sampling theory. The research reported herein is directed at investigating the utility of the jackknife for establishing confidence intervals on and testing hypotheses about the disattenuated correlation coefficient for small samples. A…

This description of the Census DIME (dual independent map encoding) file is directed toward school administrators and their staffs rather than to computer analysts. DIME can be used as the central component for a geographically based management information system. It provides the mechanism for the spatial display of data and for the determination…

This report presents an objective overview of features of six selected data-base management systems and federal user experiences with these systems. Application criteria were developed in order to aid in the evaluation and selection of data-base management systems. The advantages of generalized data-base management systems over traditional methods…
