Discusses experience of using multiple media, instead of instructional television, to teach satisfactorily off-campus electrical engineering courses at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Further applications to non-engineering graduate and undergraduate courses, extension activities and short courses are recommended. (CC)

Discusses the conduct of a civil engineering program at both graduate and undergraduate levels with emphases placed on complex environmental and social problems of contemporary society. Indicates that students are provided with the ability to understand goals, formulate problems, pose alternative solutions, and test the results in the real world.…

Discusses a Sloan Foundation undergraduate project conducted at the University of California at Santa Clara, with emphases upon interdisciplinary design. Indicates that engineering should be seen as a broad education for a technology dependent society, rather than education leading to a specialized, dead-end career. (CC)

Discusses a creative engineering systems design program developed at the Clarkson College of Technology with the support of the Sloan Foundation. Indicates that the program leads to greater undergraduate use of computational facilities and more faculty research toward design applications. (CC)

Discusses the use of the city of Detroit as a design laboratory to operate Sloan Foundation programs in engineering education. Concludes that the student managed program provides valid and valuable educational experience by finding solutions to real world problems. (CC)

Discusses the study of design problems by interdisciplinary student-faculty groups under the sponsorship of the Sloan Foundation and in cooperation with industry, government, and community organizations. Included is a list of design projects. (CC)

Discusses the definition of "biomedical engineering" and the development of educational programs in the field. Includes detailed descriptions of the roles of bioengineers, medical engineers, and chemical engineers. (CC)

Describes the demand for graduates from biomedical engineering programs as being not yet fully able to absorb the supply. Suggests small schools interested in entering the field consider offering their programs at the undergraduate level via a minor or an option. Examples of such options and student projects are included. (CC)

Discusses the roles of engineers in medical centers, including technical support, instrument control and safety for the hospital, and teaching and research tasks. Indicates that engineering education should take responsibilities to prepare them to understand the human relations and organizational characteristics of their environment through course…

Describes the development of a model curriculum for a joint five-year program in engineering and social work at Washington University. (CC)

Describes an interdisciplinary research project on production of food or fodder yeast from sewage. Indicates the presence of satisfactory educational and experimental results in operation of a pilot plant. (CC)

MOCO, a game intended to improve the players' ability to identify the forces in the members of pin-jointed trusses, has been developed and tested. The paper describes the game and the test results. (Author)

Describes external studies as undergraduate or graduate programs characterized by highly unconventional paths. Indicates the necessity of developing new definitions and models for this nontraditional medium to evolve a clear concept in engineering education. (CC)

Discusses the five characteristics which distinguish this upper division college from the majority of higher education institutions in America. Indicates the presence of a positive response based on increasing enrollment from 520 in January, 1973, to a possible 1,200 by June, 1973. (CC)
