The Norwegian Institute of Technology has major responsibility for professional continuing engineering education (CEE) in this country. Degrees offered, typical CEE program, CEE program format, publicity for CEE courses, and related topics are discussed. (JN)

Discusses: (1) problems of engineering education; (2) continuing engineering education (CEE); (3) CEE needs of developing countries (updating teacher competence, improving knowledge of professional practices of young engineers, and others); and (4) CEE programs in India (discussing faculty-oriented programs, professional societies programs,…

Describes how to establish and operate a Teaching Company program, highlighting the required interaction between industry and university. Also gives examples of present and past Teaching Company programs in Great Britain and Wales. (Author/JN)

Discusses current and future mathematics requirements of engineers in the United States. Points out that changes in requirements have been accelerated by the computer's role in solving engineering problems as well as the advance of high technology needs in industry and research. (JN)

The connection between single phase transport phenomena and multiphase transport phenomena is easily accomplished by means of the spatial averaging theorem. Although different routes to the theorem have been used, this paper provides a route to the averaging theorem that can be used in undergraduate classes. (JN)

Discusses current problems in chemical engineering education at the University of Queensland (including those related to the laboratory, student/staff ration, literacy, motivation, course content, and structural changes). Also describes a proposed plan of the Queensland department to implement a scheme for resource-based education in chemical…

Methods for evaluating divergent thinking are presented and discussed. These include Shavelson's word lists and unique diagrams and Buzan's brain pattern. Each technique, which can be used in examinations, provides a partial representation of how subject matter is stored and highlights the flexible yet structured way the mind organizes…

A project was designed to expose students to the complexities of designing an instrumentation and control system for the overall plant design. Project objectives, format, and student activities, accomplishments, and shortcomings are described. (JN)

Presents the abstracts of 158 papers presented at the American Society for Engineering Education's annual conference at Knoxville, Tennessee, June 14-17, 1976. Included are engineering topics covering education, aerospace, agriculture, biomedicine, chemistry, computers, electricity, acoustics, environment, mechanics, and women. (SL)

Discusses a chemical engineering course that emphasizes the methods and applications of adsorptive bubble separations. (MLH)

After 34 years in academic life, the author changed careers and is currently employed by a major corporation. Personal comments on differences between academic and corporate life are provided, including the nature of work planning between the two environments. (JN)
