Many vocational education, technology education, and now technology and engineering education leaders have made their mark on their profession. Their legacy is something that members of the profession enjoy and have a responsibility to continue and build upon. This is the third in a series of articles entitled The Legacy Project, which focuses on…

THIS PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO ALLOW ABLE STUDENTS TO ACCELERATE THEIR PACE AND PERMIT OTHERS TO PROCEED AT THEIR OWN RATE. EACH SEMESTER WAS DIVIDED INTO THREE FIVE-WEEK SESSIONS, EACH SESSION PRESENTING A FULL SEMESTER'S COURSE. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, THE INSTRUCTOR GAVE ONLY EVERY THIRD LECTURE OF THE FULL SEMESTER'S 45-CLASS SCHEDULE. IF THE…

Discusses an experimental program to test the concept of training students at the Master's level in chemical engineering. Described is a combination of formal university graduate courses and an on-the-job, industrial internship in lieu of a formal research program. (MLH)

Dual organization of faculty and curriculum provides flexible, interdisciplinary undergraduate program that leads to concentration in an engineering specialty. In operation for two years, the plan has utilized teaching staff and facilities more effectively, and provided students with a broader than usual perspective of engineering. (WM)

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) project developed 17 courses in various fields at the University of Texas from January 1, 1973 through December 31, 1975. Data collected on comparisons between PSI students and control students indicated that: (1) PSI students learned as much or more than others; (2) Higher…

Under a grant funded under the Women's Educational Equity Act, the Department of Freshman Engineering at Purdue has developed a model program for freshmen women entering engineering. The program focuses on an experimental course that provides beginning engineering women and men with: (1) hands-on laboratory experiences; (2) discussions by various…

The Engineering Renewal and Growth (ERG) program at Colorado State University (CSU) was designed for continuing education of engineers. The program used videotapes and coordinated written materials to deliver instruction to the practicing engineer. Courses were leased to individual students or industries in which students worked. The courses were…

The experimental pilot project was conducted to determine whether students who take the laboratory phase of an engineering technology applied electricity course in a mobile laboratory at branch schools demonstrate proficiency comparable to students who take the applied electricity course in permanent facilities at the parent institution. The…

This paper describes the pedagogical impact of real-world experimental projects undertaken as part of an advanced undergraduate fluid mechanics subject at an Australian university. The projects have been organized to complement traditional lectures and introduce students to the challenges of professional design, physical modelling, data collection…
