THIS REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN MATHEMATICS (CUPM) DESCRIBES A PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM FOR THE UNDERGRADUATE PREPARATION OF STUDENTS IN MATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING. THE MAJOR PURPOSES OF THIS PROGRAM ARE TO PREPARE STUDENTS IN THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, TO ENABLE THEM TO APPLY THIS EDUCATION TO THE COMPLICATED…

Information concerning the eight science college commissions now in existence is provided. These commissions encompass the fields of agriculture, biology, chemistry, engineering, geography, geology, mathematics and physics. An overview of the primary functions and commitments of the commissions and consulting services offered is presented. Also…

On the instruction of the Council of Ontario Universities, the Advisory Committee Engineering (CODE), conducted a planning assessment for doctoral work in chemical engineering. Emphasis is placed on a summary of general evaluations; recommendations; chemical engineering as a discipline; nature and objectives of the PhD programs; analysis of the…

On the instruction of the Council of Ontario Universities, the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning, in cooperation with the Committee of Ontario Deans of Engineering (CODE) conducted a planning assessment for doctoral work in electrical engineering. Emphasis is placed on the supply and demand of doctorates in electrical engineering; factors to…

Educational objectives were developed for an undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum. The courses studied were computer programming, electrical science, electrical networks, electronic engineering, and engineering communications. The courses were analyzed in terms of purpose, content, and objectives. Definitive problems for each course…

The article presents a case history of how a special series of technical mathematics courses was developed in an engineering technology program to meet student needs. It primarily focuses on role of mathematics in the engineering technology curriculum and on some of the problems related to it. (Author/BP)

The Ainsworth-Lund transformation process model offers a framework for observing and assessing growth/development by identifying needs and matching them to available resources. The model's four phases are described and an annotated bibliography is provided which documents the engineering education experiences corresponding to each phase. (JN)

The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) is committed to a reform process which involves, among others, the curricular axis. The work described in this paper is part of the activities specially concerned with the studies of engineering. Seventy-five professionals were invited to discuss new possible patterns for the perspective of the professional…

A new morphological model based on modern system science and engineering is constructed and proposed for curriculum research and development. A curriculum system is recognized as an engineering system that constitutes three components: clients, resources, and knowledge. Unlike the objective models that are purely rational and neatly sequential in…

This paper explains the educational changes in the Water Resources Engineering program offered by the Universidad Nacional del Litoral in Santa Fe, Argentina, for the last 20 years at the undergraduate level. The need for modernizing the engineering teaching program occurred due to changes in the social system in which the concepts of development…

Describes the processes involved in obtaining funds for projects from the Projects Office of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Discusses the policy of the ASEE to projects in development and the types of projects which have been funded. (TS)

Describes a course to give to non-engineering students at least a qualitative physical explanation of some examples of fluid flow situations observed and encountered in our daily lives. (Author/TS)

Describes attempts in Britain to unite physics and technical studies in the new GCE A level engineering students (college bound). (Advocates more interdisciplinary efforts and greater use of mathematics.) (TS)
