The first half of a Biomedical Engineering course at Texas A&M University is devoted to group projects that require design planning and a search of the literature. The second half requires each student to individually prepare a research proposal and conduct a research project. (MLH)

The study was prepared, at the request of UNESCO, by the European Federation of National Associations of Engineers (FEANI), an organization grouping the engineering associations of 18 countries and including 650,000 engineers. The differences in the types of engineering programs and graduation requirements of the various countries are examined,…

The program described was developed to produce a viable engineering continuing education in rural areas. The system as explained consists of three major elements: 1) the suppliers, 2) the consumers, and 3) the delivery system. Answers to why such a program is needed, what its goals should be and how such a program can be implemented are presented…

The introductory materials science course at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Massachusetts), while still being regarded as in a state of evolution, has remained nearly constant for the past two years. Since the course is given each term, except summer, to 40-90 students of various disciplines, there has been ample opportunity for continual…

The use of engineering cases as tools for learning engineering is stated to be about 10 years old. A brief account of the origin for years before 1950 is given. A note is made of an initial meeting held in 1962 when the potential of the case approach in teaching engineering was discussed. By 1964, case programs were in operation at three schools.…

Presented is a summary of a study made to identify existing two and four year Industrial Engineering Technology programs in the United States. A preliminary tabulation was made of the data procured and a model for identification was developed for discussion. A survey form was used and sent to 205 schools identified as possibly having such a…

Contained in this volume are lectures, summaries of presented papers, and main plenary papers of a seminar, held at Helsinki University of Technology, on the education and training of engineers. The objectives of the seminar were to review the present status and trends of the continuing education of engineers in Europe and around the world, to…

Contained are data on the engineering and engineering technology degrees granted for 1968-69 by engineering schools in the United States. The data show breakdowns by school and curriculum for each level, and they include figures for minority groups - women, U. S. Negroes, and foreign nationals. Comparisons are also given for past years by total…

This study examines the relationship of the Black Man to the profession of engineering. Chapter I discusses the background of the study, its potential value, and the long-term outlook for Blacks in engineering. Chapter II briefly describes 2 earlier studies on this subject and the institutions from which data was obtained. Chapter III presents…

The manual provides instructional guidance and reference material in the principles and procedures of general drafting and constitutes the primary study text for personnel in drafting as a military occupational specialty. Included is information on drafting equipment and its use; line weights, conventions and formats; lettering; engineering charts…

A technique is described for the generation of perspective views of three-dimensional models using computer graphics. The technique is applied to models of familiar thermodynamic phase diagrams and the results are presented for the ideal gas and van der Waals equations of state as well as the properties of liquid water and steam from the Steam…
