Summarized are the steps followed in planning an engineering technology program at Moraine Valley Community College. (JS)

The physical sciences and engineering technology will present social problems of great magnitude in the future. The social problems must be resolved if technology is to progress. (Author/MF)

There is a demand for engineers to understand the manufacture of semiconductor devices and how this knowledge can be applied to systems design. (IR)

Article describes a recent experimental course entitled Introduction to Humanities, the Arts and Social Science," as part of UCLA's Engineering Development Program. (IR)

Milwaukee Area Technical College has joined with business and industry to develop training programs for computer-based information processing, and engineering and manufacturing technologies. These partnerships are important as companies look for ways to improve productivity and quality, keep abreast of changing technology, and ensure economic…

Presented are the results of a survey of the employment performance of bachelor of engineering technology graduates of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. (BB)

Presents a detailed outline of topics and lectures and references for a survey course on process synthesis at Auburn University, Alabama. (JN)

Provides some perspectives on the explosive growth in microscience to show some of the interrelations among science, engineering, and technology. (HM)

Academic research institutions have long been important economic anchors for New York City. They provide thousands of jobs and serve as a magnet for talented students and faculty, who inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy through federal research grants. Yet, even though New York's concentration of top-fight scientific…

In this article, the author describes several activities in personal care chemistry that provide middle school girls with opportunities to learn firsthand about science and engineering technology. These activities--the preparation of lip balm and hand lotion--are fun, easy to do, and make use of relatively inexpensive, safe, environmentally…

Creating activities that model engineering design as it appears in industry provides great experience for technology students. Design in general creates an element with special regard to its form and function. Engineering design involves doing that, and going beyond to produce an efficient product that addresses its intended purpose. In this…

This work proposes an approach to remote learning of robotic cells based on internet and simulation tools. The proposed approach, which integrates remote-learning and tele-operation into a generic scheme, is designed to enable students and developers to set-up and manipulate a robotic cell remotely. Its implementation is based on a dedicated…
