Faculty members from 22 community-junior Colleges coast-to-coast are developing a new general education course for freshmen. Constructed in modular form, the overall goal of the course will be recognition of man's interdependence with, and responsibility for his environment. (JO)

Describes a one semester introductory physics course for physical science students with PSSC and calculus as prerequisites. Course content concentrates on the properties of the electron, positron, andphoton. Summarizes the student evaluation of the course and the laboratory equipment used. (Author/DS)

Describes a series of computer programs, tutorial and drill, in eight areas of organic chemistry. Using 28 students in the computer assisted instruction (CAI) group and 29 students in the control group over a period of one semester, the authors report no significant differences in their examination results. However, a student attitude…

Describes a course designed to introduce the average chemical engineer, who has only a minimum familiarity with the concepts of capillarity and flow through porous media (and none at all with reservoir engineering concepts) to petroleum production engineering. Includes course outline indicating technical content of the course. (Author/JN)

The study of viticulture (the growing of grapes) can illustrate the practical applications of geography: spatial orientation, focus on natural environment, human-land interaction, and concern with the properties and characteristics of regions. A suggested course outline is given, as well as a listing of resources about viticulture. (IS)
