Provides a report on the newly formed Korea Advanced Institute of Science (KAIS) which has as its objectives to produce capable scientists and engineers, to up-grade higher education, to undertake basic research of prime interest to industry and to encourage the continuing progress and development of science and technology. (Author/CP)

Describes rapid growth of graduate education in engineering between 1900 and 1969. Points out need for graduate curricula in engineering that are both practical and research-oriented. Adapted from paper presented at International Conference on the Trends in the Teaching and Training of Engineers, Paris, France, December 9-13, 1968, and at Second…

Describes four one-term computer engineering courses conveying to the student an overall understanding of hardware, software, logic, computer systems and broad scope of computer technology. (IR)

Report of NAS-NAE Committee on scientific and technical communication (SATCOM) recommends improvement and extension of information services for engineers. (IR)

The first ACADEMOS (Academic Demonstrations) was held during the 1971 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference and presented a smorgasbord of demonstrations encompassing many instructional modes, both traditional and avant-grade. (Author/PR)

The Continuing Engineering Studies Division (CES) of ASEE is described. Includes lists of the purposes and characteristics of CES, types of learning situations, and climate essential for learning on the job. Also includes educational and professional characteristics of the CES learner. (TS)

Some characteristics of interdisciplinary research institutes are identified. Some operational guidelines are recommended with particular emphasis on their structure with respect to the framework of the university. (TS)

The development of sandwich courses, a review of their progress and a consideration of the problems associated with their operation are described. These courses are integrated so that industrial training is required and is interspersed between academic segments. (Author/TS)

Testing shows technical students do better working out lab experiments either individually or in pairs rather than in larger groups. Technical Education is a bimonthly supplement to Industrial Arts and Vocational Education. (Editor/GB)

Compares first year performance of science and engineering university students with and without PSSC Physics in high school. PSSC students, particularly those of high ability, performed better. (AL)
