Examines arguments for and against the professional school concept. Presents a professional school model master plan for Texas colleges of engineering. Guidelines and the curriculum at Texas A&M for the doctor of engineering program are examined. (CS)

Reports findings of a survey of engineers who have recently left the field of engineering education for jobs in industry or government. Salary seems to be a less important factor than is generally assumed. (Author/CS)

Reports findings of a national survey gathering information on how high enrollments have affected engineering education. Data are presented on student/faculty ratios, enrollment increases, teaching loads, and salaries. (CS)

Describes a 16-week engineering and philosophy course which focuses on topics such as attitudes toward technology, values and ethics, ethical dilemmas for scientists and engineers, technological growth, and policy formation. Lists weekly topics, required and recommended readings, and topics for student papers. (DC)

A survey of 142 of the 272 U.S. colleges and universities that offer engineering programs for the 1977-78 school year is presented. Data are collected and tabulated on semester hours and percentage of schools requiring various courses for freshmen in engineering. A few major findings from the data are included. (SMB)

Presented are the results of a survey of the employment performance of bachelor of engineering technology graduates of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. (BB)

Blacks represent only 1.1 percent of the engineers in America, yet, in 1978, 58 percent of all job offers to students with bachelor degrees were engineering-related. The National Fund for Minority Engineering Students was formed in 1974 to attract the private sector resources needed to expand minority representation in engineering. (Author/MC)

Presents a detailed outline of topics and lectures and references for a survey course on process synthesis at Auburn University, Alabama. (JN)

Provides some perspectives on the explosive growth in microscience to show some of the interrelations among science, engineering, and technology. (HM)

Presents in full the questionnaire sent to member institutions of the American Society for Engineering Education to collect data on engineering education and research for the school year 1975-76. (MLH)

Comparison of self-concept scores of groups of both engineering and speech communications students before and after a course in their corresponding subjects showed that the speech students underwent a positive change in self-concept whereas the engineering students were unchanged. (MLH)

Provides general guidelines for shaping a course devoted to the interaction of sciences and humanities, especially for the engineering student. (MLH)

Presents a framework identifying the molecular level assumptions underlying many thermodynamic models. Tests the assumptions using theory and computer simulation to develop better assumptions. (YP)

Describes the structure of an in-depth laboratory project chemical engineering. Provides modeling work to guide experimentation and experimental work on heat transfer analysis. Discusses the experimental results and evaluation of the project. (YP)

Answers several questions regarding background information on research in spatial skills. Describes strategies that graphics educators can adopt to develop these skills in students. (Author/CCM)
