Listed are guidelines for the steps in the development of a flexible long-range senior science curriculum. The program is separated into biology, chemistry, and physics, and a course outline is given for each. These outlines are not committed to any one approach, but draw on the many curriculum improvement projects and other sources. The emphasis…

Describes an engineering course for graduate study in random media. Summarizes random media as bulk properties of ordered and disordered two-phase materials. Gives course outline for one semester. Topics include: disordered systems, microstructure determination, survey of models, connectivity, and effective properties. (MVL)
