Fourteen non-native speaking graduate and undergraduate students watched an authentic 16-minute videotaped engineering lecture and were asked to provide immediate recall summaries. It is concluded that students should be taught to listen to lectures in a more rhetorical and strategic way.(Author/VWL)

A method of plotting planes on stereonets is described including great circles, poles, and dip vectors. Teaching applications of dip vectors in engineering geology and structural geology are discussed. (CW)

Develops a programed approach for developing design projects. Describes the initiation, design experiences, final report, and problems of the approach. (YP)

Describes general and specific didactic profiles of engineering courseware for evaluating a curriculum. To carry out a diagnosis of written material, the two profiles and a complexity facet were prepared. Provides a model in the self-instructional course, Digital System. (YP)

Examined is the possibility of applying industrial principles of quality assurance to engineering education. Describes an industrial quality assurance model emphasizing the assessment criteria of the quality of performance and capability. (YP)

Discusses a "process control" course in undergraduate chemical engineering. Describes current practices and philosophy and an outline for a course to be taught in the future. Appended are summaries of 12 participants' discussion. (YP)

Presents some principles for specifying general classes of polymers for predicting relative chemical attack from acids, bases, oxidants, and certain common antagonists. Also discusses predicting relative solvent effects. Suggests uses of this information in two or three lectures in a chemical engineering materials course. (YP)

Presents statistical data on chemistry and chemical engineering departments for the 1988-89 academic year. Provides tables for departments offering approved programs, degrees awarded by schools, and trends during the last five years. (YP)

Describes management courses for undergraduates and postgraduates and supplementary training methods at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). Introduces tasks of the Center for Management Studies created in the Institute. Provides courses of study for Bachelor of Technology, Master of Technology, and Master of Science in the Appendices. (YP)

Investigates the potential for carry-over of prior learning from one scenario to the next at various parts of the hard-soft spectrum in a control engineering context. Discusses hard-soft systems, input-output analysis, law of industrial dynamics, decision-making, developing models, model sensitivity analysis, and educational programs. (YP)

This article outlines the problems in the student pipeline and the faculty pipeline related to engineering. Difficulties of women engineering faculty members are discussed. (YP)

Described are the formation of DEUS (Danish Enterprise University System) consortium and DEUS TraiNet as examples of European collaboration program. The organization, technology, computer conferencing, service, and multimedia training of the programs are summarized. (YP)

Reports on the flow of faculty members to and from academic institutions. Compares data between public and private institutions and between predominantly Ph.D. versus B.S. degree producing institutions. Discusses the problems of maintaining the quality of education offered by engineering and engineering technology administrators. (YP)

Describes a course designed to improve the professional qualities and skills of students by using a design project as the focal point of the course. Gives an example of a product development program including the introduction, stages, and evaluation. (Author/YP)

Presented are employment projections in science and engineering. A shortfall is predicted unless more women and minorities can be attracted to science. Projections are based on a number of demographic and educational statistics. (CW)
