Patrons of an engineering library have technical requirements and idiosyncracies which should be considered by library planners. The results of a survey made by the Mitre Corp. are discussed. (DH)

The challenge to biological and extra biological survival comes down to man's ability to organize man-made environments that exhibit the subtle order found in natural living systems. Because of a misapplication of technology, many self regulating mechanisms are absent in contemporary human settings; they must be designed into future efforts…

Identifies four essential conditions necessary to implement an individualized curriculum. (SB)

Increased use of analog and digital computer simulations by high school students with a broad range of backgrounds is largely due to introduction of Engineering Concepts Curriculum Project (ECCP) into schools. Future expansion to a wide variety of interdisciplinary problems appears promising. Examples of simulations are presented. (DF)

Main focus of the Center is "the application of science and technology to the solution of problems faced by people in less-developed areas of the world. Adapted from paper presented at ASEE Annual Meeting, The Pennsylvania State University, June, 1969. (Author/WM)

In new freshman program students spend 37 percent of their time in mathematics physics course, 25 percent in humanities, and 38 percent in one of three electives and their choice of a chemistry or engineering course. Program exposes students to career alternatives in engineering or science professions. (WM)

Data collected at projected space station will contribute to solution of environmental problems on earth and will enable more efficient use of earth's natural resources. Adapted from commencement address delivered at Newark College of Engineering, June 5, 1969. (WM)

Defines mechanism for information transfer in engineering education. Urges assignment of more open-ended problems to train students in all aspects of information processing and developing their decision-making faculties. (IR)

With the aid of the programmed computer, the systems designer can analyze systems for which certain components have not yet been manufactured or even invented, and the power of solution-technique is greatly increased. (IR)
