Presents a description of the programs offered by a fictitious technology and society department as a model for future programs designed to provide a liberalized technical education. (GS)

Reports on a limited survey of published curriculum guides to determine if courses in the category of "technical sciences" are included in engineering technology curricula, what courses appear most frequently, and what proportion of total time allocation do they represent. (GS)

Assesses the state of "applied Japanese studies" in American institutions of higher education, with particular reference to activities of designated centers of Japanese studies (including Lehigh University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University, and others). Also identifies how programs might be expanded to better serve…

Examines arguments for and against the professional school concept. Presents a professional school model master plan for Texas colleges of engineering. Guidelines and the curriculum at Texas A&M for the doctor of engineering program are examined. (CS)

Traces the integration of engineering, humanities, and social sciences from the major objectives of 1955 to present curricula designed to produce the socio-engineer. Predicts future trends in curriculum development reflecting the growing relationship between technology and the values and condition of man. (GS)

Describes a program which seeks out minority students with a potential for engineering education, inspires them to enter the program, enrolls them in an intensive seven-week remediation phase, and matriculates them into a college of engineering. (GS)

Describes a program developed by the Educational Research and Methods Division of ASEE for the members at the grassroots level (example, on the campus). Describes the establishment of resource rooms for educators and Mini-ACADEMOS to demonstrate new teaching methods. (GS)

Papers abstracted represent those submitted to the distribution center at the 83rd American Society for Engineering Education Convention. Abstracts are grouped under headings corresponding to the main topic of the paper. (Editor/CP)
