Describes the use in chemical engineering education of FLOWTRAN, a large steady-state simulator of chemical processes with extensive facilities for physical and thermodynamic data-handling and a large library of equipment modules, including cost estimation capability. (MLH)

Describes the use of videotape equipment in taping student oral reports to aid the student in acquiring better speech skills. (MLH)

Describes examples of various interactions between industry and universities, including industry-sponsored research in university laboratories, university consulting groups that aid industry, and sabbatical leaves for university faculty in industry. (MLH)

Describes a curriculum project aimed at developing a two-year, non-traditional engineering technology program employing the latest instructional materials. Provides a list of descriptive course titles for the program. (MLH)

Much of the creative thought of the designers of our technology is nonverbal; since the Renaissance, it has relied on objects and drawings, not descriptions. Because nonverbal thought is closer to art than science, there is a risk that it will be ignored in engineering education. (Author/SJL)

Calculations and diagrams are given for determining parameters useful for the operation of screw pumps. (BB)

Describes engineering education program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and suggests some changes in engineering education such as changing: graduation requirements, the role of professors, the competitive atmosphere, and the amount of real world engineering experiences for undergraduates. (MDR)

Reviews the principles and describes the broad thrust of the training of engineers in China. (SL)

Discusses general ways to approach and solve engineering problems. Uses the phase plane and perturbation methods to illustrate the qualitative study of equations. (MLH)

Describes a student project in chemical plant design offered as part of a freshman chemical engineering course. (MLH)

Describes an undergraduate course in chemical reaction engineering science. (CP)

Describes two Personalized Systems of Instruction (PSI) courses in Engineering Dynamics taught at the University of Western Ontario. Factors contributing to difference in achievement between the two courses are described. (SL)

Proposes that one cause of the current decline in basic scientific research is the distrust and scorn existing between universities and industry. (SL)

Presents a listing of engineering college members of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Each listing includes the school name, address, president, and official representatives. (SL)

Huge defense budgets and a commercial aircraft comeback are contributing to high demands for aeronautical engineers. Job offers are plentiful and are expected to rise by 41 percent from 1982 to 1995. Federal space programs will provide additional employment opportunities. (DH)
