Papers on a variety of technical and training subjects relating to training device technology and training methodology were compiled. These papers were presented at the fifth Naval Training Device Center and Industry Conference held in February 1972. The conference provided a common ground for the exchange of new ideas and discussion of mutual…

As part of its survey of the demand for engineers and technicians conducted in the early part of 1970, the Engineering Manpower Commission asked employers two questions. The first request was: "Please list any curriculum areas in engineering where the number of graduates seems to be badly out of balance with employment needs at current…

Research projects sponsored by the Coordinating Research Council, Air Pollution Research Advisory Committee, and dealing with vehicle emissions and their wide ranging effects on the environment are compiled in this status report. Spanning the range of problems associated with reducing emissions, they are divided into three main areas of research:…

Due to the tremendous interest in all phases of environmental control, particularly with reference to water pollution control, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is attempting to provide the lay public with accurate information about water resources so they may react with proper knowledge and constructive activity. This anthology…

THE OBJECTIVES WERE THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSING VARIOUS ASPECTS OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN SPECIFIC CLASSES, AND DEMONSTRATING THE UTILITY OF THE TRADITIONAL CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE. TWO DIFFERENT STRATEGIES WERE EMPLOYED--(1) A MULTIVARIATE CORRELATIONAL STUDY OF GRADING PRACTICES, AND (2) THE USE OF AN OBSERVER IN A WIDE…

Addressed to the student, this manual presents terms, abbreviations, and symbols used in discussing manual or automatic control of the flow of electric current. Diagrams accompany discussion of the following types of control devices and principles of operation: Heat sensitive controls (thermostats, thermal relays), light sensitive controls…

Energy conservation measures that can be effected in the architecture and engineering of new and existing school buildings are listed. Guidelines are also offered for general school operation and maintenance. (MLF)

The complete proceedings of a one-day conference on educating women for science are presented. Career profiles for eight participants are followed by papers presented in 14 discussion groups. An alphabetical listing of American women scientists and their field of science is included. (MH)

Discusses the television broadcasting of a refresher course in mathematics and engineering fundamentals for those preparing to take the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) State Board Examination in Alabama. (MLH)

Describes an introductory engineering course that emphasizes open-ended projects with concurrent instruction in supporting principles and encourages student decision-making. (MLH)

Describes a project that compared the attitudes of freshman engineering students to their status as sophomores, i.e., whether they remained in the engineering program. Showed that motivation, commitment to engineering, and strong high school records are indices of persistors in engineering. (MLH)

Discusses a survey of the techniques used by 29 engineering colleges to recruit and keep women engineering students. (MLH)

This paper describes an experiment designed to reveal the consequences of the development of a concentration boundary layer. The rate of a mass transfer limited electrochemical reaction is measured and used to obtain the dependence of average Sherwood number on Reynolds number and entrance length. (Author/BB)

Estimates from an interagency labor-demand model of energy-related employment in the next few years indicate that coal mining and power plant construction will provide most of the new jobs. (MF)
