Provides a summary of research and graduate study activities at 227 U.S. and Canadian engineering colleges. Included is information on the number of faculty and students; degree requirements; degree granted; research areas; and research expenditures of each institution. Presents indices by fields of graduate study and areas of research. (YP)

Provided is information on stipends from the last 3 surveys for 12 engineering disciplines. Notes that in 1987-88 the highest GTA and GRA stipends were awarded in the same field; materials science/metallurgical engineering. (MVL)

The masters degree program of the Department of Mining Engineering at McGill University is described. The program makes extensive use of the seminar format and relies heavily on the participation of outside experts. (BB)

Engineers (N=2,732) were surveyed to determine their current/planned educational level and attitudes toward continuing/graduate education. Statistical breakdowns focus on: ethnic groups; engineering fields; present job function; and current/planned degrees. Respondents view continuing/graduate education as integral to careers and further training…

Discusses four aspects of graduate education (self-assessment criteria, internal evaluation, criteria of quality, assessments by state organizations) and cites examples of how some universities manage their graduate programs. (MLH)

Describes problems associated with accreditation of professional engineering programs and the new accreditation procedures used by the Engineering Education and Accreditation Committee of ECPD (Engineers Council for Professional Development). (PR)

Summarizes survey findings of faculty and graduate students that were conducted by the American Society for Engineering Education. Provides data collected in the fall of 1985 on faculty shortages, faculty recruitment, faculty mobility, factors limiting Ph.D. production, the quality of engineering education, and graduate student characteristics.…

The first part of this two part volume includes articles relating to engineering education. Topics included are personalizing instruction, individualizing instruction, programed instruction, rewarding good teaching, and the use of different approaches to improve teaching. Part II contains descriptive data from 201 engineering colleges concerning:…

Presents the questionnaire sent to American Society for Engineering Education members concerning graduate study and research. Also lists the names of engineering and technical colleges replying to the questionnaire. (CK)

Provides an analysis of 20 years of research and graduate study experiences in engineering colleges, focusing on 17 variables including full-time, faculty, part-time faculty, master's enrollment, doctoral enrollment, master's/doctoral degrees awarded, researchers, research expenditures, and number of research projects. (JN)

Described is the program of cooperative education in graduate engineering at the University of Cincinnati. (SL)

In 1982 almost half of all American doctoral degrees in engineering went to foreign students. The United States role in educating these students and several serious difficulties facing the American engineering education enterprise as it relates to foreign students are discussed. The need for national policy in this area is addressed. (JN)

Discusses three reasons for a master's degree in engineering technology. These include developing the body of knowledge unique to the field, providing continuing education for the practitioner through applied research, and providing advanced technical and pedagogical training for future engineering technology faculty. (JN)

Describes a three-credit elective course at Notre Dame, Design of Environmental Health Control Systems, offered to senior civil engineering students and graduate students in health engineering. (CS)
