Ideas in Practice: Merit Pay--Equitable Selection of Recipients and Increments.
Koehler, W. F. – Engineering Education, 1985
Describes a mathematical salary-growth model which serves as the basis of an objective conversion procedure (providing a more equitable merit-pay plan). Also demonstrates how this procedure was used and discusses additional benefits (particularly pertinent to institutions using arbitrary criteria to determine pay increments and have lock-step…

Some Implications of Computing Developments for Engineering.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Robson, E. H. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1985
Discusses areas in the undergraduate curriculum that are important due to recent technological changes (such as contributing effectively to group projects and the ability to take advantage of continuing education opportunities). Examines possible responses to these areas, focusing on the role of computers and on the mathematics curriculum. (JN)

Low Cost Computer Graphics Simulation of Basic Kinematic Linkages.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Donald A.; Jacquot, Raymond G. – CoED, 1984
Presents algorithms for the simulation and motion display of the three basic kinematic devices: (1) four bar linkages; (2) the slider crank; and (3) the inverted slider crank mechanisms. The algorithms were implemented on a Commodore-VIC 20 microcomputer system with 6500 bytes of available memory. (Author/JN)

A Graphical Simulation of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium for Use as an Undergraduate Laboratory Experiment and to Demonstrate the Concept of Mathematical Modeling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitman, David L.; Terry, Ronald E. – CoED, 1985
Demonstrating petroleum engineering concepts in undergraduate laboratories often requires expensive and time-consuming experiments. To eliminate these problems, a graphical simulation technique was developed for junior-level laboratories which illustrate vapor-liquid equilibrium and the use of mathematical modeling. A description of this…

Functional Analysis for Chemical Engineers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ramkrishna, D. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1979
Described is a graduate level engineering course on functional analysis offered at Purdue University. The course restricts itself to linear problems, specifically analysis of linear operators on vector spaces. Key applications in the course demonstrating the utility of abstract formulations are presented. (BT)

National Academy of Sciences - National Research Council, Washington, DC. – 1984
One aim of this report is to show and emphasize that in the computational approaches to most of today's pressing and challenging scientific and technological problems, the mathematical aspects cannot and should not be considered in isolation. Following an introductory chapter, chapter 2 discusses a number of typical problems leading to…
