Described is an approach to teaching computer architecture courses with a set of software tools. Aspects of computer science with aspects of computer engineering are merged. The laboratory approach is utilized so that students learn by trying and doing. (Author/SA)

This document proposes, and indicates initial reaction to, a multi-point satellite-based delivery system which will permit expansion of current programs and services of the Association for Media-based Continuing Education for Engineers, Inc. (AMCEE) consortium to a much larger aggregated audience of practicing engineers throughout the country. It…

This is a self-study manual designed for freshman or sophomore engineering students who have interest in the organizational and operational concepts of the digital computer, but little or no experience with such computers. The manual gives an introduction to a general purpose minicomputer, Digital Equipments Corporation's PDP-8. (MK)

THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING INSTALLED IN 1964 A CLOSED CIRCUIT TV NETWORK INTERLOCKING GAINESVILLE, DAYTONA BEACH, ORLANDO, AND PORT CANAVERAL TO PROVIDE GRADUATE ENGINEERING EDUCATION TO A GREATER NUMBER OF STUDENTS, MAINLY EMPLOYEES OF INDUSTRIES. CENTERS ARE CONNECTED THROUGH INTERCITY MICROWAVE CIRCUITS, EACH CIRCUIT…

Objectives of a 2-volume book developed as a comprehensive reference for teachers and a text for students on small gasoline engines were that it be: (1) organized for teaching, (2) complete in detail, (3) well illustrated, (4) authentic, (5) edited to high school reading level, (6) correlated with basic scientific principles, and (7) evaluated by…

Leading the teaching profession toward the best possible instructional programs for children and youth will be difficult because our concepts of teaching must change fundamentally. The intensity of the school must be enormously increased in light of other more potent factors determining what a child learns and becomes. In the current era…

In an effort to increase dissemination of scientific and technological information, a program was undertaken whereby graduate students in science and engineering could request a computer-produced bibliography and/or abstracts of documents identified by the computer. The principal resource was the National Aeronautics and Space Administration…

Several current technology programs are evaluated and, where appropriate, changes recommended. Jobs at both entry and subsequent promotion levels are described, and manpower needs surveyed. Ordinarily, it is only after discussion with prospective employers (industrial, clinical, medical) that curriculums are adopted and costs estimated for…

To identify present and emerging farm occupations and necessary competencies, personal interviews were conducted by teachers of agriculture with a random sample of 329 farm operators in 11 selected counties in Kentucky. Slightly more than 75 percent of the operators interviewed were owners living on a farm. Some population characteristics were:…

Developed and reviewed by a committee of 16 teachers, the state supervisory staff, and the teacher education staff, this curriculum guide is for vocational agriculture teacher use with ninth grade students interested in agricultural occupations. Some objectives for this 1-year course in animal science are--(1) to develop competencies in…

This paper describes a pilot program in institutional financing. It was designed to be used at a predominantly white Southwestern land grant university to increase the participation rate of black engineering students, but it may be used with slight modifications to increase the number of blacks and other minorities in other professions. In 1969…

Following a two-page summary of a project conducted to develop course outlines for the approved vocational agriculture courses taught in the State of Washington high schools, this document presents course outlines and lists of recommended instructional materials for the following courses: Production Agriculture (including Agriculture…

The report is concerned with research performance and results at the Savoy Aviation Research Lab. Research accomplishments are described according to eight tasks which are of two general types, those dealing with human resources research and those dealing with manned systems research. Specifically, four tasks deal primarily with pilot selection…

A collection of recent articles on microforms has been compiled to give students and practicing librarians a basic understanding of all aspects of micropublishing as it applies to libraries, with emphasis on library usage rather than microform technology, on the practical rather than the theoretical, on the present rather than the past. Six major…

The guidelines were written to promote job growth and improvement in the personnel who manage, operate, and maintain wastewater treatment plants. Trained operators and technicians are the key components in any water pollution control facility. The approach is to move from employment to training through specific modules for 21 standard job…
